Tell Me What You Think

I have a problem. (OK many, but one I'll share today.) I don't know what to do when I grow up. People say that it "just comes to you." So far that has not happened to me. And, yes, of course I'm still waiting for the sky to fall, elephants to fly, and the raindow to turn into skittle...and to have a brilliant career apiphany, but so far, nothing. So, if you would...help me brainstorm. Now I know I'm a great neglector of Pleo., but I'm trying to turn over a few new leaves, spin a few more plates, and use a few less metaphors. I hope all is well with all...and if it's not, leave it in God's hands. (Wow, lesson to self.) That's all...bless bless.

    I used to think you would be a writer or designer. Remember the plans we had for the upstair bathroom of Mary's house?

    Well, what I wanted to do came to me all of a sudden when some classmates were doing some last-second reviewing before we took a test in Calculus, and I was helping them. It took a bit of writing, though, so I starting working on the chalkboard, and I realized, man! This is really cool. I want to be a math professor. So, maybe something will happen to you. And if not, you can just become a math professor, and get a job teaching at the same university as me and we can face off on the same blackboard for some dueling equations!

I have fallen in love with FC.
But, I am glad to be home for the summer. My family, it turns out, has missed me and that's just a good feeling.

I turn 20 on the 12th. I feel old. People I grew up with are getting married all around me. Not that they should stop, but you know, they should stop...because it makes me feel old.

Today was a great day because:
God made it
I have wonderful friends
I hugged a tree
There is a xmas tree in my dorm
There were no fence-falling episodes
Yes, we did go to Starbucks
It rained on this fireman
I POSTED!

I've been here at FC for almomst a week and we've been so busy I haven't had time to do much more than sleep...that's a good thing...the peeps here are wonderful, the rumors about making a million friends and loving them are true. Classes start tommorow and I'm bursting at the seems to get back in the acedemic swing -- I'm just the type (admitedly) Hope all of you, my good buddies, are going GREAT wherever you are!!

love to all
