future.

And so I have settled in again. But not for long. I watched movies of two different cultures this weekend, Chocolat and The Namesake. Very good. Make me think of what could be, and yet, not letting go of what I have. I am starting an application for another college... naturopathic medicine. Well, nutrition and culinary arts to begin with, and after I get my four-year degree in almost three years from now, I can decide whether or not to become a Naturopathic Doctor. Oohh how I love the thought of that! But, who knows what God has in store. I'm loving Bemidji. Loving school. Loving learning about health right now. Loving watching people grow up, and yet hating it. As Beth says in Little Women, why do people have to grow up? Why can't things stay the same as they always were? But then, what fun would that be?! God has such dreams for us...

Green.

I really like this green blog layout. It makes me happy to look at it. Fresh. Intelligence. Inquisitiveness.
Ohhh blank pages, blank pages that no one has read. No one can read. Not today. Maybe tomorrow.
I'm suppose to be studying. This is procrastination at its best! Watch a movie with the roommates, catch up on email.. want to read my Bible, not my textbook!!! But there IS an exam tomorrow. So... maybe.

dreams

i hate to get to that part where i wake up! it seems like every time i have a good or interesting dream, it gets cut short, so i can never see the happy ending. otherwise, most of my dreams are strange or sad. and i often wake up exhausted from dreaming all night. my brain is sooo full it has to digest while i sleep!! of course, it never helps when i have late-night conversations with friends.

Day One

Well, yesterday was the first day of classes. I love them already. My credit load is fairly simple this fall, so I'm hoping to have plenty of time to work and help with church ministry. Right now I am up early because I was suppose to be going running with friends... but aparently I wasn't the only one who didn't want to get out of bed. I might be ambitious and go by myself... then I can set my own pace. But I guess I wouldn't have their challenge either.
I feel very strange about being back. Guess I haven't done this before. I'm excited, because I feel like a lot of exciting changes are going to be happening this year (whether me or someone else). I'm quite a bit more excited about the church ministry here instead of campus ministry. I don't think I will have time for very much of the latter.

Hello Moochamango

Well... cows say "moo"... and I like spanish... "mucha"... and "cha" makes me think of dancing (cha-cha!)... and mango for India and health.
So thus begins my diploma program of massage therapy in Bemidji. yay! Back to one of my favorite places... with my friends, studying, dancing...
