Floor Event-Success! Let's pray for great results on the lab exam.

Tonight I gathered my floor to teach Clinton 2 South girls how to tie dye. We all used different techniques-which provides for diversity of the shirts. I will post pictures once I can get my computer to upload on to the drive.  I will also post pictures of t-shirts once the wash, and wear the shirts. I had about 22 girls show up to the event and I thought I was going to run out of dye. I still have four bottles left. Thank goodness.;D  Great event.



I ended my evening by heading over to science center-and studying the rats we have "manhandled" the last few days.  The smell=horrible. I was able to identify quite a few of the different parts. Then five of us headed up two floors to be able to look at the cells, and slides of different types of tissues.  I was able to lead the group in identifying each part of the cell, and the functions of the cell.  Let's hope tomorrows lab exam goes well.

Mail-Makes me happy!

Remember when you were younger and you got mail? The excitement and joy it brought you as you read the letter the person wrote personally for you. Yup.. today I receive two pieces of mail- GREAT DAY!   Mail make me almost as happy as a sunset.  A sunset is a promise for a better tomorrow.



While updating my calendar I have found that October is going to be a VERY busy month. Oh the joys of being a senior in college.  All for now.. ;D Enjoy your Monday.  Pray for patience, and strength.

My day ended with a fight with Fin. Aid.  I swear- the student can never win. D :

Senior year.. When did this happen?


Well- life is changing quickly. One month done. One month closer to commencement-the start of a fresh chapter. Scary? I would put this in the THREATING category. No longer are people just asking- What is your major, When do you go back to school? The questions have (ALREADY) switched to-Where are you looking for a job? Have you started to apply for jobs? Where do you see yourself in 10 years?


Truth be told. I have no flipping idea. The thought of my future, of being an adult- scares the crap out of me. I have decided that I will not live in my parents basement until I get married. I want to live on my own-live my own life. I want to live someplace with a dog, and pretty mountains, and an active community. Have an idea of where I should live? E-mail me I would love to know.

Classes seem to be going very well. They get a sense of amusement of getting me stressed out-and watching me cry uncontrollably. ( Total break down(s) to this point:2) I have schedule my senior exiting meeting.. applied to graduate... narrowed down my job search into three areas. First is to continue with my RES LIFE path. This would allow me to continue to be at school-but work the other end of the system. I would still be doing the job I love, working with people, and get the experience. Second would to be to get a youth ministry job- again working with people-and combining my faith. Absolute plus. Third is to find a job in the camp atmosphere- that would still allow me to use my faith, and work with people. Last, would be to volunteer for a year. Now, coming into this year this option was on the top of my list. I just need to work towards getting out of debt. I hope that I will be guided to the best answer for my life.

Question in my life currently-Why can't football last all year round? My Saturdays full of three football games. Wartburg. Iowa Hawkeyes. Wisconsin Badgers. I enjoy when all three happens. I have come to a love of the game, season, and foods. It may become my favorite season of the year.



The next month is filled with many exciting events( You can define the excitement level). First is My trip to Iowa City. This is the first place in Iowa I have travel to that I currently don't reside in. Second, Is getting my program Adopt-a-Grandparent back up and running. I will be starting visits to Bartel's very soon. :D Third. OUTFLY. ENOUGH SAID. Could it be on a Wednesday? Thank you. Last is the baptism of my godson- Matthew Joseph. (I am way excited about this!)Plus, I must not forget the dozens of projects that are becoming due, and the research, and presentations that are surfacing. Excited. Nope.
