Chapel Time Update
I’m sitting in one of the big chairs at Starbucks during chapel time. The people sitting on my right are talking about some girl who apparently is not a nice person. The people on my left are Scott, his girlfriend and someone else talking about life. Karina is MIA; I thought she went up to get a drink, but she’s not in line.
Down to just 17 days until my birthday! And only a few more beyond that until when I move. And that means that there are only three or so days to get ALL of my work done for the semester. Ack! With the Christmas Festival, DU obligations, the newspaper and everything else, I’m not sure how I’m going to fit everything in. I work tonight and tomorrow morning, but then I’m off again until Monday.
On Saturday, there will be a new computer in my life. I can’t wait. I’m eager to play with iSync and all the other fun things for my iBook and new iMac. (Besides the fun of having a system that is better able to edit video, do pro-grade design and the other things I do in my spare time.)
It’s just two weeks until the end of the first semester, and I’m still amazed at the high rate of cute boys in the freshman class. Sitting here is reminding me of that.
I’m ready to be done with Carthage. Just one big push to the end, now, and it will all be done. This place has been a huge influence in my life, and I will look back on it fondly, but for now the more separation, the better.
Off to Logic I go. . .
