New Perspective...
I am not sure if it is because I have simply had too much time on my hands lately or because I am experiencing a pre-mid life crisis... but I have felt so inspired lately. Inspired to do the ordinary things enthusiastically (i.e.my re-newed love for brushing my teeth with my new electric tooth brush)Or my random urges to flea the country and run wild and crazy.... All of these things were amplified last night when I went to see the movie "The Bucket List." I strongly urge everyone I know to go see this movie... don't waste time... get there because it will rock your face off. Be sure to go to the earliest showing because i can assure you that you wont want to go to bed immediately following... I have been pricing plane tickets all night long....

J-term
BACK TO SCHOOL... BACK TO SCHOOL... TO prove to dad im not a fool...
Back in Evans ton. Its kidna crazy actually to get reacquainted with my apt. The interesting items that live in my fridge as well as re-getting to know everyone you go to school with. It's interesting because I feel like although it has only been three weeks I have been gone forever. I'm not even exactly sure who my friends are and who arnt my friends.... Sure its seminary and you "LOVE EVERYBODY RIGHT" well.. that I might argue.... but none-the-less I find myself in an awkward environment with some of the most awkward people in the world.... Keep in mind that i fully realize and accept the fact that I am here too.....
J-term started yesterday and that means i spend every afternoon to early evening playing Church History with about 30 other individuals in this hot hot room... I am running out of patience but not cheese its so im in good shape as of right now.

Hmmm
So I am at church (using their wireless...) I am approaching the half way done point of my last final. It is due tomorrow at midnight. How I would love to be finished but I am not. I have stared at the seven books in front of me since 10:30am.Not to mention the 3 hours I spent on it yesterday. WHY AM I NOT FINISHED.... I am so close yet so very far away.
As soon as this is done... my last semester comes to a close... but then there is J-term. That being predominantly reading. I prefer this over writing after just completing about 80 pages prior to coming home. J term because it is a few weeks away seems doable... finishing this paper on Baptism and the Eucharist seems so outrages.... I think I am bored.
I think I am going to Duluth tomorrow... My friend Mindy knows little about this mandatory training she has to attend other than the fact that it is indeed in Duluth. She gets her gas paid for and they put her up in a hotel room. She is sweet and is letting me come with. This will give her and I some long over due quality time as well as an opportunity for me to say hi to Duluth and those who live there. Pretty exciting... minus the lack of details.
I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO OVER BREAK.....PLACES TO GO, PEOPLE TO SEE.... WHEN WILL IT ALL GET DONE?

Jewls
Today's blog is titled Julie....well Jewls but you get it.
I am choosing not to put her picture online because I value her friendship
****(not because she is unpleasant to look at)****
I like Julie very much and she has given me two beautiful children...(she however is raising them..not me)Her husbands not half bad looking either (i only say that to make her uncomfortable). She too complains about my lack of blogging... not quite as aggressive as Becca and Carol... but she checks faithfully. I feel as if I let her down. Sad day! I try to do right by her.I can tell you that she is on my "top ten people I have ever met list" and let me tell you she is NOT number 10. She is a real Hoot!
I miss her... but I am hopeful that we will have some quality time together soon. Over break perhaps. I'll be right on that!
MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT THE JEWL-STER:
10.) Her Husbands glasses
9.) Her love for cottage cheese
8.) The greatest things in her life happened when she was 12
7.) She is able to make fun of me in such a tasteful way (most times)
6.) She is one of my biggest fans and I hers
5.) She is Super MOM
4.) Heck she is SUPER WOMEN
3.) She loves the pottery barn more than I do
2.) Her hair
1.) She cuddles
No worries Julie.. nobody knows your last name... so there is no need to be embarrassed...
I LOVE YOU!

THANKSGIVING BREAK!
I am soooo excited for some time off... not that it will exactly be "off time." For I have well six significant papers I would like to tackle while in MN. It would probably be best to say that I am soooo excited for some time away. I have class all afternoon today and I am taking an over night bus to Minneapolis.... I am so excited to see friends, family, the surprises my parents have in store for me at home ( a baby brother perhaps...). HAHAHHA I will spend Friday and sat. with friends (we are taking in a sgroves concert) and then go home to my family for the holiday. The weekend after thanksgiving will be spent in Duluth to visit old friends and places I miss dearly. I can't wait...!
After Thanksgiving I only have two weeks of class and I hopefully then will have survived my first sem. of Grad School. It is looking good so far but the next couple weeks will indeed be rough. I also just accepted an on staff (youth and family ministry position at a church SW of the city. I look forward to integrating myself there and all that this PART TIME position will entail.
Not a whole lot else to share... probably good that I blog once a month...
The above is a picture of my favorite visitors! They came to see me a few weeks ago but this is one of my favorite photos from our adventures. This picture was taken in Millennium Park downtown Chicago.
