At the Feet of the King: The weeks are just flying by!

Hey y'all!

Let's see... another great week! It started out super busy, with some really late nights :/ but that meant that after it was all turned in... on Tuesday... it was downhill to the weekend!

I had an essay due both monday and tuesday, both of which I star

ted the night before. Bad idea. It's been a really interesting switch this semester because 4/5 classes are essay based... Which is the complete opposite of last semester... besides the 20-30 page papers I wrote for UrbanStudies (which don't count because they weren't even analytical), these are the first college papers I've had to write!

I don't really know what to expect in these two papers... they both couldbe super good, or

totally off base. Hahaha oh well! We shall see! The one paper I wrote two weeks ago I got back last week and before she handed them back she said that the highest grade was a 90% . I got an 88% but then after class she asked for mine backand said that she thinks I deserve a higher grade... okay!! sounds good to me!! she hasn't given it back yet, but I think she's giving me a 90 :)

Um what else... last weekend I got invited to attend this day-long retreat with Parker Palmer. Here's a link to his site, cuz i'd be impressed it you knew who he is! I didn't know who he was!! http://www.couragerenewal.org/parker It was a really interesting retreat. 30 students and 30 faculty/staff/community members. We discussed democracy and how to "heal the heart of democracy". I enjoyed the discussions but honestly it was a longgggg day. 9:45-5:30. And I knew I had two essays ahead of me... ah well! It all worked out!

I've been really enjoying my church group. I've really "clicked" with several of the girls, mostly older (juniors and seniors and seminary students) but it's been great! We're going out to dinner tomorrow night and I'm really excited about it! I've also been able to meet a couple of them for coffee over the last week or two and have been able to share my story. That has been good to share because its weird being in this place where there are probably only 3-4 people who know my story! So anyways, i'm loving spending time with them :)

By the way... sorry if i repeat what i say on other posts... i really can't remember what all i say on them... and don't often go back and read through them haha! so forgive my excitement over something i may have already told you about :)

Spencer comes next weekend!!! I am SO excited :D And then only three more weeks of classes and then i'll be home for spring break!

Jin, Anna and I made cake pops today! Shared them with the floor and with my community group (biblestudy).

After the floor had had their share :D
