Its been an optimistic week for me. God-given ambition if you will. I've been rather contemplative lately seeing my life stuck in a good stagnant. However, I need to be able to reconcile taking risks while maintaining what's stable around me. I have a faith bound with Gods love, compassionate, beautiful friends, a family I adore, plus my youth and health. It seems selfish to me to feel unaccomplished when I have so much going for me. Plant what God gives you, nourish it, and watch it grow.
Being home has been strangely insightful for me. I've come to the understanding that I'm one of those people that's huge on association and maintaining personal bonds with people. Strictly speaking, one cannot live a life of seclusion in regards to dating relationships. Cutting off all ties to friends is like a dead end street. You get stuck in an unhealthy groove. I apologize to all of those whom I have dismissed in the past because of relationships. I assure you it was not my intent, but life has a funny way of showing you reality. A countless reminder on what NOT to do to be free of both regret and bitterness.
Anyways, aside from my rountine ramblings, Picture Butte (aka. pic_ur_ Butt_) has been great. Took part in my home church's annual Christmas concert. I realized when my mom wanted me to be home "so early" that there were strings attached. Oh well, I thoroughly enjoyed being the ticketmaster and the "Where is Mary and Joseph" coordinator. Trying to get Joseph to stop picking his nose was a challenge. but all in all, the concert turned out to be a great success.
Paid off my tuition today. although thanks to a few helpful scholarships, this last bite of my savings isn't that bad. It pays to be brilliant. :) Although theres something strange about the fact that i get excited over science, math, and english. How many people do you know that do logic problems for fun, or want to sleep with a humidifier, or avidly read their University Philosphy and Psychology books?
I think i should work for NASA.

I must admit I like the newer version of this song better...
What "few" scholarships by the way.. I doubt I'm gunna get that 4.0gpa one anymore. I should check but I probably did really bad in a certain 2 classes :)
I'm glad that you're having such a good time being home Shannon, sometimes home can be really good for the soul. Oh- I sleep with a humidifier too.
Hey Shannon!
Good to hear you're doing well. You SHOULD be a writer. I'd read your books.
Have fun in Pic_ur_ Butt_ and have a great Christmas!
