The Semester of Changes:
Coming back to Trinity this semester was different for several reasons: being gone a semester, having only 2 out of your 4 best friends back, living off-campus, doing a new ministry (w/i Youth Extreme), and yeah, having a boyfriend, and in general, a new group of friends.
I?ve heard from some friends that it?s been a bad semester for them and that most people they?ve talked to feel the same. I was a little surprised when I heard that. I guess it made me think how I felt.
I don?t like living in the past, feeling that a time before the present was better than now. I guess I am more the living in the present, excited for the future kind of girl. I suppose that deeply affects the way I view my present moment. But honestly, after thinking over the semester, uploading pictures to flickr of all the things I?ve done, I realize that for me at least, it?s been an incredible time.
No it wasn?t any adventure in Europe (which I do reminisce about sometimes, in my mind), but it was just as amazing in a completely different way. So let?s see what has happened:
? I moved into a new house with Jana, and ?Fort Romance? began.
? I helped lead a bible study with Janine for senior high YE girls?that hasn?t happened for 5 years.
? Hanging out in the Milner neighborhood.
? Amy came to visit for Halloween, a huge success as always!
? I went to a Sigur Ros concert, a dream of mine for 2 years.
? I had the amazing opportunity to help out with 40 other TWU students in New Orleans over Fall Break.
? Thanksgiving at home with my family.
? Snow in Ft. Langley.
? Winning the Intramural Soccer Championships (Steph that goal was incredible!).
? Ooh, ohh! Jana and I got a new roommate, Britney (what a blessing!)
? 4 letters: L-O-S-T
? Sarah came to visit right before break
