bored at school

I should be doing my readings.
I should be preparing for my classes.
I should be ready for school.
I should be more organized.
I should get my life together.

Yeah, there's a lot of things I should be doing :)

This semester is a bit strange, because I have 3 classes in one class (all day Tuesday from 10-11:30, 1:00-2:20, 2:30-4:30) so I get sick of that room. It's dim and dirty, people don't know how to throw away garbage. I don't know how I'm liking my classes so far, I'm taking Sociology (Analysis on Social Issues), Philosophy (Knowledge and Reality), Political Science (Structures and Government), Global Studies (A Case Study: Latin America), and the full-year course History (Problems in US History). Eh... they're going okay. It's the second week only... I'm looking forward to summer (I'm really not liking winter, snow, cold... ew)

I'm thankful for the UNITY girls' small group we have at church. It's something new (starting last fall) because I never tried to have relationships with people at church because of co-op at UW, I saw that students just came and left. So I saw no point in putting effort into getting to know someone, when I thought they would just leave after a few months. But so far this small group for the few months has been slowly growing on to me. We talked about the first and greatest commandment yesterday: loving God and loving others (Matthew 22:37-38; 1 John 4). It was a good talk, we watched parts of Misty's message (which btw was really pivotal for me at Onething:This is the onething conference video archive. Watch Misty! The video is on Tues, Dec 30, I really recommend this message to everyone, it was so good. Things just clicked, life seemed to make more sense, I don't see everything as so meaningless anymore.) Anyway, so Unity is going well... church is going... (better, I'm starting to see why God has placed me in UBF and that if I pledge allegiance to Him, then resisting against my purpose doesn't seem as necessary anymore).

I miss my friends (a lot). But it's okay, God has blessed me with good friends here and outside of school so I'm struggling to not be so reliant on friends (even though they're really important, I need to seriously prioritize my life).

Also, I need to get my life together (in terms of school... I feel like I'm just going to class and have no idea of what the heck I'm doing, also with money... I have no conception of how to save. Those are just some practical things... OH and housing situation -______- ;;.... stress.... I'm praying God will provide the besttttt place. Patience. Wisdom. stay calm.

winter break was amazing, so i'm looking forward to spring/summer break. hahah i think i'm the kind of person who lives off of looking foward to things. I should just look foward to Jesus' coming.. heehee but i still like having breaks being away from school and here hahahha.
