New Directions and Phone Numbers

Today is the last day of classes and then I have finals next week and I can be done! Lately, I've not only been stressing educationally but emotionally. Starting on the 15th this month I started getting impressions that have led me to a path that I swore off over a year ago. Now I know more of what God wants me to do and now I just have to be patient. I've been doing a lot of thinking about these impressions and all I can say is, if God tells me to do it, I'm going to trust him. It helps if these impressions come like a shovel being swung at your head, so at least I can't help but know what He wants. I don't want to go into details until I actually know what's happening, but I can probably later. I do offer some advice... If God hits you over the head with a shovel once, listen to ALL of the promptings so he doesn't have to whack you twice when you weren't willing to listen to the whole thing the first time. hahaha. Yeah, it's been that kind of a week. Don't worry, as far as I can tell these will be good things, it's just taking a lot of mental effort to wrap my brain around it.

In other news I should be graduating next fall! Huzzah! I was worried I'd have to retake Russian but after talking to my professor today he said, "I know that I expressed to you concerns about your grades early this semester, but it looks like you'll be fine unless you pass out during the final." So as long as I don't develop narcolepsy over the weekend I should be good to go! LOL! And I'm so excited for Fall semester because I'm taking all the classes I want to including an Advanced Drawing class! EEEK!!!

By the way here is a funny conversation between me and an Unknown Number texting me today. If the unknown texted twice it was normally because I had to pause while on a call at work.

Unknown: I know we haven't seen each other in a long time, but I would like to see you sometime this week, if that's okay with you.
(ME Thinking: Okay, this guy has good grammar... which of my guy friends I haven't seen in a while has good grammar and correct punctuation?)
Me: First, I'm not sure I know who this is. My phone isn't recognizing you...
Unkown: Names can come later first I must ask you to dinner!
(Me thinking: What happened to good grammar and punctuation? And which of my guy friends can have good grammar and are teasers?!)
Me: This isn't fair!! Why should I agree to a very very blind date?
Unkown: It shouldn't be that hard. Most types of fruit are blind anyways, right?
(Good grammar is back and now they tell bad jokes. Why isn't this fitting a bill?!)
Unkown: Get it? Date like the fruit?
Me: Don't worry. I can recognize bad jokes! I make plenty. ;) Why don't you prove that you know me?
Unkown: Should I mention how much you love pirates or how much you love Castle? ;-)
(Well they're either a stalking friend on Facebook or they actually know me...)
Unkown: Tell you what, I need to head to work, your sister Rebecca knows my identity and can tell you who I am.
(Say what?! They know Becki too?!)
Me: Lol! Okay. I guess I have to wait. Have a good day at work!
Unkown: You too!
(How do they know I'm working???)
Me to Becki: Becki who is trying to ask me out?!? They said you know them!
Becki to me: It's Lizzie she got a new phone number. She creeped me out too. She sent me a text about how I'm hot and my curly hair is like white fire. lol.
Me to Lizzie: LIZZIE! I'm going to kill you!

Rushing!

Sorority Life . Not what I thought, at least for Lamba Delta Sigma . To begin with, I didn't know what a sorority was until the day I joined. I thought it was full of prissy girls who go shopping, gossip, and wear pink all the time (kind of a Legally Blonde persona, see picture). But my friend Nadia didn't want to join alone so she dragged me along and convinced me to do it too. By the time I left the first day, I could see my presumptions were wrong. It wasn't full of silly blondes in pink skirts and high heels at all, instead they were all young women like me. This was great news because now I can tell blonde jokes without having to explain them fifty times! Since I'm not taking classes this fall I decided I needed a change in things to make sure I keep active, especially after not doing too much this summer when it came to friends. Not that it was that bad being a homebody. Watching my sisters turn their pretty faces into gruesome troll expressions is quite ...

Believe that the Earth turns Slowly

[Photo taken by me at Aphosian Gardens 2008] Life is moving really fast for me now. I can't believe how many things will happen within the next two weeks, most of which I'm not entirely prepared for. First of all, my  birthday in a couple days. I'm young yet, early twenties but am I the only one who finds it weird when they become a year older? I don't feel much different than I did last year, and with everything going on it doesn't feel like my birthday. Normally I start counting down at the beginning of December because I just add 2 weeks onto the countdown to Christmas. This year, at the beginning of the week I had to count to make sure my birthday was actually this weekend. I'm just too preoccupied to think about it much. I also have school starting next Monday, and I'm going part time, but I'm working part time at crazy hours running back and forth from school and work, and my best friend gets married right after it starts. At least her wedding isn...

Bibliophile - Book Lover - That's me!

I absolutely love to read. My whole family is a bunch of readers and every one of us has our own collection of books. (Mine covers my ledge stretching along my 9 foot wall... and I ran out of room for them.) When I was younger (maybe 10) I found out my Grandma Walker kept track of every book she read in a journal and wrote it down, so I began my own book journal. So since 1997-ish I've written down each book's title, author, summary, date finished, how much I like it, and number of pages. I like to keep track of how many pages I've read in a year and the most I've ever gotten was just over 11,000 pages. This year I'm up to about 7,000 which is normal for me at this point. Seeing how I'm obsessed with books I thought I'd mention some of my favorites and favorite authors if you're ever looking for something to read since I have a few people who ask me for reading suggestions as it is. My new found favorite author is Brandon Sanderson. If you haven't he...
