Well well, it is officially past mid-term time for my last semester in college! My mind is blown every other day, but mostly i just try to live in the moment (occasionally i find myself living in the past, but that's just how i roll.) and enjoy all the fun around me. Maybe too much fun, seeing as I am practically failing my Art Theory class! Yay! (don't worry mom, i won't FAIL, but i won't get an A either).
Last night I spent three hours out at my ceramic teacher's house with all the other students so we could throw wood into Bro. Briggs' wood kiln every 3 minutes. It was a good time! Lots of yummy meat & food, splitting wood, and smelling like smoke. I honestly love that smell! Just not the next day, but now my hair smells like coconuts not burning logs (i just checked). I am so excited to see how all our pieces that were in there turned out!
There have been some really interesting things happening lately though so I will make a little list and hope it is interesting enough that my (one or two) readers will enjoy it.
Here goes a lotta' somethin'
1. I finished The Help last night and L-O-V-E-D it! I almost cried (again) at the same part that had the tears streaming down my chubby lil' cheeks when I watched the movie over Christmas break with my sisters. I love that we all try to hide it when we cry, and i love (and am terrified by) the fact that my sisters are old enough to be emotionally touched by a story line.
2. (disclaimer: i can't remember if i mentioned this yet...) I have been called as RS President and it has been a great experience and I have seen so much growth not only in my life, but in the lives of the girls I work with & serve.
3. I've been (extremely) slowly trying to learn how to play the guitar, it's on my list of goals for this year and I'm real lucky to have a roommate and a lot of friends who are super talented players to help me. It's really hard for me! But it is something I've always wanted to do.
4. The BFA project is moving a long, that is what I will do after I finish this post. I am working on the write ups, it's hard to write about other people's lives, I just want to do them the justice they deserve. I have been growing so much as a person with this, and for that I will always be grateful. There was definitely inspiration behind this project that I will not take credit for.
AND I got the spot in the Spori building that I wanted to hang my show!! Yes!
5. Here's the best news... I GOT A SUMMER JOB AT BADGER CREEK! I am so so SO excited and I feel so good about it. That means that I will be in Tetonia Idaho from June to mid-August and will get to have all kinds of adventures with tons of new friends and get to serve the youth while I do it. Ever since I heard about Badger from some friends last winter semester, I have felt like it's a place I need to be. Up until I applied on a whim, I had been feeling really lost about where to go after graduation. thoughts of applying for Badger Creek kept popping into my mind and I would push them out thinking that it was too late, but finally one day I just called up the offices and they told me that it was still open. So i got to work filling out all the applications, calling people to ask if they would write letters of recommenation for me and BAM! It was in, the interview went way good. I felt really peaceful while I was there talking with Kyle and Bro. Ashton.
It's going to be a great experience and although graduating still freaks me out, I feel peace about this summer. I am so excited to be part of OYA and to let the hearts of others touch my life. I just hope and pray I can do the same for them.
