Still Hasn't Fully Sunk In

Yeah.... It hasn't FULLY sunk in yet that I am going to Kenya. I am so excited to see God work in wonderful ways. It feels so surreal still. I don't think it will fully hit until I am on the airplane. Speaking of which, I discovered that a flight from the Chicago area to Kenya is a 20-hour flight.... Minimum. I am not sure whether to be excited about this or not, but it'll be a milestone for sure. Wow, what an opportunity.

Anyway, I was quite happy to sleep in today, though I worked another headache-inducing shift at work.... And I'm working all day tomorrow. :( I swear that there's something in the air, 15 mins into working and I had a mild headache.... And it wasn't even THAT busy yet! Oh well. Dinner was good, chilled all night, re-organized my farm on Farmville. It looks very nice, in my opinion.

It just hit me that I have a lot to do tomorrow. And that I should probably pick up a Swahili phrase book from Barnes and Noble or something.

Um.... Kenya.... WOW!

All right, first, woke up freakishly early to go to school.... Even though I'm on break. Why? Because I get more stuff done when I'm at school, oddly enough. I "finished" all my geometry homework in one sitting, quite impressive. Okay, so it's "finished" in quotation marks because I still need to check that it's all right, but still. And then I went to my algebra professor's office. It took longer than I thought, I was there for almost exactly an hour. I always feel bad when I'm in a teacher's office for so long. Even though they don't seem to mind, are happy to help, etc., I still feel bad. I know, I know, I have no right to feel bad. Sometimes I think I'm way too considerate for my own good.

Well, I went home, checked my email.... And one of my emails had the subject line: "Welcome to the Kenya Team!"

I'M GOING TO KENYA THIS SUMMER!!!

Wow. I'm still in shock, to be honest. I go back and forth from being hyper and excited to practical and trying to figure out what comes next to reflective to prayerful to all sorts of stuff. I'm so happy to have this opportunity!!!

Of course, now there's the issue of other decisions, but I'll TRY not to worry about that until tomorrow.

Wait.... Is it Really Spring Break?

So today, I had my only midterm.... Piano.... Got a 97% out of 100. I'm relatively happy about that. Geometry *seems* to be getting better so far, aside from a classmate with a disrespectful attitude that ticks me off. Oh well. And I studied in between, and of course was reminded that cliques happen in college, not just high school. Just because I'm not "cool" or "interesting" doesn't mean I'm a complete loser!!! Whatever, I don't know why I'm annoyed, being a loner at school, this is to be expected. I have a backbone of Jell-O. Oh well, again.

And algebra was good, as usual. I am even more convinced that my professor is the most math obsessed person that I know. I kind of hope he doesn't go through math withdrawal or anything during break. :-/ Oh yeah-I'm on Spring break!!! It feels weird. Especially since I plan to be at school tomorrow. To study. Hopefully it'll be productive.

Also, I'm really nervous about Friday. I'm not sure what I want to happen right now. So many options.... Just have to continue praying.

Guess I am a Night Owl....

Well, I woke up, feeling pretty good.... Then saw the clock. 11:07am. NOT GOOD. Thankfully, I didn't have classes, but I missed breakfast and felt like a lazy bum. I like to sleep in, but not THAT late. Grrrr.... Math homework takes forever. I dropped my anthropology class today. Glad that weight is off of my shoulders. The reason? Well, I found the class interesting, but time consuming and difficult. If it was a requirement, then I would have stuck with it, but since it was basically an elective, I'm glad I dropped. I kind of feel like a quitter, but who cares? I've got enough on my plate....

Better attempt to sleep, not much on the agenda.

Why Am I So Tired?

I seem to say that a lot lately. Argh.... Oh well.

Um, it's a LITTLE bit nicer out. Not by much. My mom is sick (unfortunately), so I'm in hypochondriac mode right now.... Piano was nice, geometry was meh, as usual, algebra was pretty good. Overall. Unfortunately, because of poor planning on my part, I didn't eat my lunch until 2, so my blood sugar has been out of whack all day. :(

Well, I'm signing off, for some reason the Internet is being slow on me.

Snow: Here This Morning, Gone This Afternoon

Yeah, it's crazy, this weather. Today I woke up way too early for my liking but just barely made it to church on time because I had to scrape stupid snow off my car. I came home from church, wrote "DIE SNOW DIE" in the snow with a huge frowny face. Then I went to work (which was a long, hectic, non-stop running headache inducing shift), came home and the snow was all gone. The rest of the day was meh, Lost and homework. I finished the first season of Lost!!! Man, that show is good, but those cliffhangers can be so irritating....

Not the best day, hoping tomorrow will be better.

Well, I should ATTEMPT to get a good night's sleep, even though I think it's highly unlikely.

Chicago: 70 degrees on the last day of winter; SNOW ON THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING?!

Can't believe it. I refuse to accept it. No way can white stuff be on the ground right now. Grrr.... I'm moving to Arizona.

Well, I am coming along with my extra geometry stuff, algebra is okay so far, and I got through several episodes of "Lost". And me and my dad watched "The Hurt Locker", quite good. I got a lot done. But I'm amazed at how much my legs hurt when I'm sitting around. Weird.
