I've started blogs, deleted them, and avoided the blog altogether. But in leu of continuing to live my life in fear of the fact that this blog won't be interesting enough, intellectual enough, inspiring enough, etc...I'm just going to write about the whatever comes to mind in these next few minutes and laugh at the result. You're welcome to laugh along with me.
Today I went back to this tool called "stumbleupon" ...it allows to select interests like photography, travel, sports, music, entertainment, culture, art, crafts, etc. and then takes you random websites, blogs, videos, articles.
Thanks to my friend, Stumbleupon I've learned how to make a silver ring out of a quarter, magnets out of marbles, have seen some really impressive sports plays, heard some new music, read interesting quotes and news articles, and enjoyed pictures from around the world.
Tonight my family and I went to Legally Blonde the musical and to one of my favorite sea food places on the Bay. . an oyster bar called "Hunt's". It has a unique atmosphere, which only adds to the amazing oysters on the half shell. I know, a lot of people think they are disgusting, but just chalk it up to one of the few things from my heritage that survived my fervent rebellion against all that is southern.
I think these last few days have been a sort of hangover from all of the traveling fun I've had this break. It's me adjusting to the fact that school starts in less than a week, and I will be in the same time zone for a while once I get settled Monday night. A sad reality after getting the wonderful opportunities to see friends get married, visit with people who live on the other side of the universe, create my own sleep schedule and enjoy laziness.
But an exciting reality when I think about what I can make of this semester, and what the Lord can bring in the next few months.
I'm trying to be content with my stationary life at college, while simultaneously not being complacent with my service to others and most importantly love for the Lord.
I do look forward to seeing my friends from school, but my hope is that this isn't just another semester of me looking forward to breaks, trips, events, etc. That I'm not constantly looking at the calander in my room and marking off days in anticipation for something more.
that's it. that's as close to a complete thought as you'll get from me these days. i'm scatterbrained and overanalytical which is tampering with my communication. I feel antsy, but I'm working on it. I'm sure I'll be back soon, but for now I'm ignoring my narrative on my break as a whole, and my big "it's the new year so here's something contemplative, inspiring, and challenging" post.
bee tea dubs...i'm on twitter..yet another reluctant cave to the pressures of popculture. before you know it i'll be a t.swift fanatic and a lover of reading nicholas sparks novels.
