  • 10 more days

    So I'm counting down to the day I leave for a break from life. 10 more days!

    School is going well...for the end of the year, at least. Got a bunch of Spanish stuff due tomorrow, so it might be a late night (hopefully not, though, because last night was a late one). Last week was the last time to meet for the Bible study that Lauren and I started. It was cool to see how it grew just since we started it after spring break. There were only 3 of us (including me) for the first few weeks, but we had 6 the last night! So very cool to see. So I don't have Bible study tonight, which should give me a bit more time to get some school work done.

    I only have one class Thursday!!!! My Spanish teacher is cancelling because she said we don't need to review any more, and my algebra class is just a "review day" for the exam and I'm exempt from the exam (!!!!)

    That's my life right now. and I'm at work so I need to get going on stuff. I know Mondays are normally my days off, but I needed to come in to get ahead on stuff because I will be leaving next week for Texas!!!

  • the end is near...

    2 more weeks of school left...then exam week. I'm so jealous because all my friends at UT get out a week earlier than I do  That would be Owens for you, tho. but i'm super excited because all of my exams are done at the beginning of the week & then I'm leaving that thursday for TEXAS!!!! I'll be gone from thursday till tuesday... visiting melissa and taking a break from life in general.

    That's life right now. School needs to die...a slow & painful death. lol. My ankle's still been bugging me & swelling up a bit after I run. I might have to go get it checked out again if it keeps doing this.  ...and I'm not a big fan of doctors. what else...kevin had a job until they realized that they didn't have room for him or something along those lines. I'd say that company doesn't completely have it together.

    Well, today is a work day...writing a paper for my humanities class & a composition for my spanish class & cleaning around the house a bit. So I'm off to do that! joy, joy...

  • update

    don't think i ever fully gave an update on what happened with BG. I got a letter a couple of weeks ago (yes, a couple of weeks. I'm really bad at remembering to tell people these things) that they accepted me into their music program! I was stoked. ...just because of the fact that their music program is outstanding.

    People keep asking me when I'm supposed to hear back from BG...and it's then that I realize that I pretty much told nobody. *shakes her head* BAD Kelsey!

    So there's my BG update. ...and I'm at work now, so I should probably get back to that.

    one more thing...can't wait for school to be over so I can go to TEXAS to visit MELISSA!!!!!  oh, warm sun, come quickly.

  • goodness...

    Yes, God's goodness to me has been amazing. It's been so great to see Him closer day by day ...even the days when I slip up and don't spend the time with Him that I should. He's still teaching me a TON about trust. I'm trying to work out a visit to Moody...to possibly go there for the spring semester next year. There's a lot of checking up on both BG and Moody that I still have yet to do. Life is crazy right now. I don't think I'll ever again work 30 hours/week & be a full-time student...and teach piano lessons....and be as involved at church & CBF that I am now. ...not that being involved is a bad thing. That would be the one thing I would not want to cut back on.

    It's been so great to start getting to know people from CBF a bit better...finally...now that the school year's almost over. There's people who are staying around Toledo, though, for jobs, etc. so I'll be able to keep in contact with them still and continue to grow in our friendships. I don't think you realize until you're in a situation where you don't really have personal contact (no, i'm not including the phone here) with people your age. It just takes something out of you, ya know?

    I'm looking forward to running tomorrow, although my ankle has really been bothering me lately...from way back in October when I pretty much demolished a lot of the ligaments and what not in there. My doctor decided to go for the "all natural healing." basically, he wanted me to try to start walking on it as soon as possible (regardless of the pain) and just not run or play volleyball or do any kind of sport really for 8 weeks. How dumb is that. I mean...its fine to do that to an old person...but I actually DO stuff with my life, you know? Anyways, I didn't run on Saturday because of the nasty weather, so I'm hoping it clears up a bit for tomorrow morning and I don't have a ton of pain in my ankle. I can deal with a little...but my tolerance does have its limits.

  • that's life



     "That's life," that's what all the people say
    You're riding high in April,
    Shot down in May
    But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
    When I'm back on top, back on top in June

    I said that's life and as funny as it may seem,
    Some people get their kicks
    Stompin' on your dreams,
    But I don't let it, let it get me down,
    'Cause this fine ol' world, it keeps spinning around.

    I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
    A poet, a pawn and a king
    I've been up and down and over and out
    But I know one thing
    Each time I find myself flat on my face,
    I pick myself up and get back in the race

    That's life.
    I can't deny it.
    I thought of quitting baby,
    But my heart just ain't gonna buy it,
    And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
    I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly.

    I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
    A poet, a pawn and a king
    I've been up and down and over and out
    And I know one thing
    Each time I find myself flat on my face,
    I just pick myself up and get back in the race.

    That's life.
    That's life and I can't deny it.
    Many times I thought of cutting out
    But my heart won't buy it
    But if there's nothing shakin' come this here July
    I'm gonna roll, I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die

    I'm a big fan of this song...because life's just like that sometimes. You feel like quitting...but you just gotta keep pressing on.

    "I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us." - Philippians 3:14
