Brandy

I am currently in love with Looking Glass' "Brandy." It's a great song. It's one of those tragic ones that would be awful in real life, but makes a wonderful (and even cheery) song!
Here's a link for it:

I love you all to pieces.

Of Chocolate, Gastroenteritis, and Gilmore Girls

So, I was going to spend Easter break with five of my friends in Tennessee. But I didn't. I was really tired, and therefore crying profusely for no apparent reason. What can I say? It's apparently the way I cope with stress and fatigue. It's rather inconvenient...

Anyway, for the good of the order (and my sanity) I chose to remain on campus for break. It was actually really nice. The campus is really quiet, which means there's hardly any lines in Chuck's (the cafeteria)! For two days, I holed up in my room (only emerging for meals and a brief trip to WalMart), ate copious amounts of chocolate, and watched the first season of Gilmore Girls. Hadn't ever seen it before. It was pretty good. I hear it goes downhill from here.

One of the five girls with whom I was going to Tennessee wasn't able to go either, because the day before break began she had been taken to the hospital and diagnosed with gastroenteritis (stomach flu). For the first day of break she was confined to her room, and I brought her food from Chuck's. Poor girl. But the next day, she was well enough to eat in Chuck's and we made a run to WalMart in a friend's car. She seems to be fine now, praise God. So we hung out together all of the weekend that I didn't lock myself away in my room, and watched some chick flicks.

All things considered, it was a lovely Easter break, even if it was rather unconventional. We're still off today, and I'm going to use it to get some work out of the way. Well, at least until the Posse gets home from Tennessee. Then there will be no working for a very long time... :)

Hey, guys! Remember me?

So...
I haven't written in forever, huh?
Well, I'm writing now. Forgive me?
Thanks.

I've almost finished my first year at school. Wow. I can't believe how far God's brought me. Right now I'm sitting in my cousins' front room with my good friend Emilie, just chilling and soaking up the relaxation. Now, I did work this break, but I've decided that I've done enough. There's no point in working all through your break and being almost as tired when you get back as when you left. So, I've done enough work to be a bit ahead when I get back, and I'm stopping.

Isn't it interesting how it takes more discipline to rest than it does to work? Praise God for His patience and sense of humor!

Voice is going very well, and I'm enjoying the rest of my classes as well. The semester will be over before I know it, and then I'll be back home for the summer. I'm looking forward to seeing those of you who live in WA. I miss you all very much!

I'm not quite sure what else to write. Life is good, God blesses me beyond belief, and I'm going to enjoy the rest of my break to the hilt!
