for future reference, my blog doesn’t have spell check ok, I can’t comment on that face every time I use it……..or can I…….It’s my blog I can……comment? if I want to…….whatever, yeah, I’m tired!

All of this to say, if you have a problem with my spelling…….DEAL!

Ok, if I was barely hanging on before, than today was my sprawled on the floor twitching mode. I definitely ran on pure adrenilin from about 11 in the morning till now. That’s when the “giddy because I’m tired” stage hit. I had been working the coffee bar since 6:30. But……..

I’m dropping TESOL as a major, I’m dropping TESOL as a major, HALLELUIA! I’m dropping TESOL as a major!!!!!!!!!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! I am so increadibly happy about this. I feel like a 200 pound weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

In other news I’m not doing NATS Because I not going to miss the Assembly church retreat. I’m missing NATS, an ICRID meeting in Indy and a Deaf film festival in Chicago so I can go. I don’t think I’ve ever had so many conflicting things at one time before! hehe….. I think I put that there just because I like that face so much.

And last but not least…………….

Love is not something you do,

Love is a way of being.

And more than that.

It is simply being,

Being with another person, however they may be.

Holding no judgments, having no agendas,

No desire to control,

No need to prove your love,

No intrusion upon their soul.

Nothing but a total acceptance of their being,

Born of your acceptance of yours.

today is going to be interesting! I’m exausted…..that’s what late night discussions (and I mean LATE night) can do to you. I have church in a bit, then cooking for JoAnne’s Birthday, then the party then a coffee shop meeting, then a dorm floor meeting, then somewhere in here I’m going to have to do 3 hours worth of homework, then I work from 6:30-11………hummmm…..can we say barely hanging on?

This morning I was awakened by my radio as usual, only today coutry music did not greet my ears, but what sounded like desperate voices over a transitor radio. In the first few moments I thought I was still dreaming, then I began to be frightened that something bad had happened. Finally, an announcer’s voice came on and the eirey music set in. I relaxed, but in my fully awake state as I listened to the way things were phrased, the way the entire thing was presented, I began to feel upset. One statement stood out to me “The United States basked in silent innocence” Innocence. Innocence! No wonder my generation doesn’t realize the true nature of their own country. Not only is it hidden from them, but they are ingrained with false concepts of the State’s goodness. Now I am just sad.
