So... Thanksgiving was awesome, got to go home and surprise most of my family.
Finals were hectic, but i ended up with a 3.8, which isn't too bad.
Christmas was fun, as was Christmas break, including an awesome New Year's Eve party with some friends/family.
This semester had been pretty crazy so far, so here's where I assume you're all caught up on my life for the past few months.
I sprained my ankle a couple weeks ago while i was out running! (which i think i only posted about on twitter) I was running, stepped on it weird, and then tripped. Of course, i was a mile away from campus when it happened, so I had to walk back. I put ice on it when i got back and went to UMS the next day. I could walk on it pretty easily 24 hours after the fact, but i still haven't tried running yet since i sprained it. There is still the tiniest bit of swelling, and it only hurts if i poke it. *shrug*
Classes are in full swing, and are crazy as ever. I'm taking Organic Chemistry II, General Psychology, Cell Bio, New Testament Lit, a 1 credit pharmacy class, choir, and racquetball (which starts after spring break). Most of those are pretty easy classes. Except for Cell and O Chem, which are a pain in the butt. (I have 4 tests the 3 days before spring break!)
The week after that i had my first O Chem test, and got my first Cell test back, both of which went pretty badly... So all in all, the last few weeks have been kind of rough. But I think that I was able to get something out of it. It seems that God was telling me that i should be focusing on him first, and not on relationships, exercise, academics, or any of that stuff. So this past weekend, I took a couple hours and just thought through stuff like priorities, life goals, short term goals, what i'm struggling with, and prayed about it. It was really good. I should do it more often. I also got to talk and pray with one of my friends about stuff we've both been dealing with, which is always great.
I've also been reading through some of Paul's epistles, which has been great. I'm starting to actually enjoy reading my bible and praying more than I used to, and am noticing that I miss it when i forget to do it for a day. So I think I'm definitely making some progress in that area.
In other news, I've been going through a leadership program here at school, mostly because its free, and seemed like a great program. I've enjoyed it a lot so far. I took the DiSC personality profile thing, and realized I'm a high S and C (or Golden Retriever and Beaver for those who've heard of that.)
Another thing, (this post is turning out really long, haha) so i was walking to dinner before my ministry that i go to on Fridays (The Barn) and I was walking with the 2 guys that run it, a senior and junior who are in my unit, and they were kind of hinting at getting me to think about being the leader of the ministry in a couple years, after they both graduate. I've only been going to the ministry this year, but I've been driving the 12 passenger vans for it since November. Anyways, I'm gonna be praying about it, and hopefully get more involved in leading it next year, and see where it goes from there.
anyway, i'm still not sure i'm that great at blogging, but that's what's going on in my life right now.
