Stairs, Diamond, Giant Star!

Eric thinks I look like Dora.

I had my first panic attack today. Haha, it was ridiculous. I'm such a cry baby these days. It was at an InterVarsity conference for graduating seniors in the LA area. At the end, the staff prayed for us as we leave college community and experience transitions. I realized how much I really don't want to leave and I got all teary eyed. I just keep hearing Jerome saying "It's never going to be like this again. It's never goingto be the same." Then everyone started hugging me and telling me I'd be okay which made me even more teary eyed. Haha. Sillies. I love my ohnine class. I think the thing about being introverted is that it takes me awhile to open up and build really good friendships, but when I do, I cling to them with my life. So leaving Sel and Kim and all my ohniners is going to be tough. Four more months though. Four freaking months.

Braveheart

I had the most amusing conversation last night. I'm definitely learning a thing or two about courage and honesty. He's right; it builds character. Haha. Two hours of laughter though. So fun.

Oh, and I finally talked to my supervisor and put in my two weeks notice today. I'm going to miss the kids at my work, but it's for the best. More time to play and study and enjoy the rest of my senior year. And it'll force me to stop squandering mi dinero.

In Stranger Than Fiction, Harold Crick tallies the events throughout his day to figure out if his life is a comedy or tragedy. I'd have to say mine is a comedy. I'm surrounded by good people who constantly make me laugh, even when life throws me lemons. ♥

Young at Heart

I found these sidewalk chalk drawings down the street from my Westwood apartment. You don't know how excited it made me. There were either children enjoying themselves (which would be surprising, as families North of Wilshire are like rainy days in SoCal) or college students being kids again, also enjoying themselves. Either way, enjoyment was had. Hooray! Life is quaint. I want me some sidewalk chalk.

P.S. Happy Groundhog Day.

Misery Loves Company

God whispers to us in our pleasures,
speaks in our conscience,
but shouts in our pains;
it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
--C.S. Lewis

Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
--James 1:2-4 (NASB)

In the chaos, in confusion,
I know You're sovereign still.
--"None But Jesus" by Hillsong United
