basically, i didn't have a creative title for this post... therefore, the date. anyway, i just wanted to give a basic update along with a few things that make me happy today.

because, i have not updated my life in a while for any random people that might be intrested... here goes.

i am in my 4th week (i think that's right) as a senior at Auburn in hotel/restaurant management. it's so crazy to think that i have gotten to this point. where did that time go? and yet, i feel like freshman year was a million years ago and so much has happened and changed me since then. anyway... this semester i am involved in a total of 5 group projects! yes, 5. it's like the HRMT program sneaks in this senior project for our final year, that we didn't even know about. however, i am thankful. after 3 years at auburn, i despise tests. i am terrible at tests and they stress me out like nothing else. i can shoot out a paper and be fine... i think i got a part of the gene Laura Beth received from my Dad i think... and my mom, too. english is my stronger suit. studying for a blame multiple choice test... not so much.

i am no longer working at toomer's coffee... however, more than ever i have earned the reputation for being "the toomer's girl". i have to explain, it feels like my office. i don't have an office, and i'm not one to work at home or at the library. i do not like the lighting in the library and my home is for home, for eating, sleeping, and entertaining. my studying is elsewhere... toomer's coffee and the occassional taylor's.

i have continued my involvement in RUF (reformed university fellowship). i probably love it now more than ever. i am leading a fellowship group with our wonderful new intern, meggie. the fellowship group is for sophomore girls and i love, love it! we are studying 1 john with the help of mr. timothy keller. that is probably going to be the highlight of my semester. if i could spend the rest of my life reading tim keller studies and spening time with college girls, i'd be pretty dang happy.

and i'm loving my new house. it's so nice, and very big, i might add. and my roommates are wonderful... so sweet!

ok... so 5 things that are making me happy today.

1. i am finally going to see 500 day of summer tonight! woohoo.

2. a new journal... ahh. i love a new journal. it looks like it has a vintage NYC postcard on the front. yay.

3. i woke up at 7:30 this morning on my own so i was able to get more done than i thought i would! i thought i would have to force myself to get up at 8:30!

4. the lyrics to "i asked the Lord". click and read, please.

5. national geographic jigsaw puzzles. yes, that's right. i somehow got hooked on them, and brought my mom & sister sarah down with me. try it.
