The TIde

"The Tide" -The Newsboys

I think I'll wait for the tide
Seems it's all I can do right now
There must be a reason
I've run aground
I'll wait for the waves to come
By the moon and the tide
Like a man and his bride
I will wait on You Lord
And we will run so far from here
To Your
Safety

Think I'll lie in the sun for a while
Maybe inside out
I've been leaving messages for you
And I'm sure it will all work out
I know the waves will come
By the moon and the tide
Like a man and his bride
I will wait on You Lord
And we will run so far from here
To Your safety in the storm

There is courage for the simple man
To the holder of secrets and scars
Learning to stand with reaching arms
We'll wait till the very last
No matter what will be
You're always good to me
Always good to me

moldy cheesecake

Have you ever found a piece of cheesecake that was so perfect, the best desert you have ever taseted and no other desert could ever come close to comparing to the deliciousness of its delight? But then did your cheesecake mold? You wrapped it in foil and put it in the fridge, but when you weren't looking, it molded. Is there a way to get your cheesecake back and rescue it from its mold, restoring it to all it's deliciousness?
I hope so.

It's been a rocky week, though Gilmore Girls has been here to cheer me up as usual. Through the events that have occured in the past week, all I could think to myself was how much I wished I was in Mexico with my sister and the team. There is something about being among impoverished yet overjoyed people and helping them that makes you forget all your problems big or small. There is also a love that goes way beyond condition and you somehow know that someone always loves you. I think that comes from the children. Or maybe it's the older ladies that won't rest until you've been fed and have lots of pop! :-) It's such a homey thing that sometimes gets lost around here. However, I finally found what I have been looking for since I got here. On Friday, my bad week became especially apparent to the girls on the rowing team with me as I started crying in the middle of practice! (sometimes, I just can't help it) and you know what they did? They all gave me tons of hug, didn't press for details, and then some of them took me out and we went to the mall, pierced our ears (yes, I got my cartilage peirced!!!), and played weird games (check facebook for photos lol) and had a blast. What I then realized was that I have people here that care about me and will take care of me. Coach told us when we started winter train though I was skeptical at the time "You are a team. You take care of eachother and you better be there for eachother through thick and thin. You get eachother through. This is your family while you're here." Turns out, he was right. I am so so so glad I joined that team. It's also been great for my health! I am in pretty good shape now. I still weigh the sameish actually a little more, but it's muscle now, so I look and feel better. It also helps to make us disciplined. But the best part of all is the people. They have been such a huge blessing to me. Thanks so much, Lord, for everything. You have taught me alot this year about who I am and made me more confident in that. You have given me a great sport to be a part of and friends that care. Please bless them and bless my friends and family back home and thank You soooo much! I love You lots!!!

twas a good friday! hehe

Oh, last night was so wonderful!!!haha I'll start with the day. I got up and went to work, then I burned my arm on a pan. Not a big deal, but it started to blister so the student managers insisted I got to campus health and get some cream for it or somethin. SO, I went there and was there for an hour! Then the lady who drove me gave me pizza haha yum. So then I went home haha I was only actually at work for 2 hours but they said not to clock out while I was gone so I got paid for 3:15 hehe
Anyways, then I saw Sean and he was sick :( So I got him some drugs and went to rowing. We were supposed to have some sort of date but I didn't want to if he wasn't feeling well. So anyways, I went to rowing thinking we would stay put for the night. We were supposed to watch a rowing movie at practice, but the camera broke, so instead they made us pull a 16K!!! BIG difference between watching a movie and rowing 16,000 metes!!! It took about an hour and 15 minutes, but I pulled hard so I was happy.
Then I talked to Sean and apparently the drugs were working so I took a shower and got all fancy (Presidents Ball, kinda like a prom around here) and he came and got me and we went back to his place (I had no idea what we were doing) and when I got there he had made dinner (yummy tacos!!!) and there were pretty candles (totally illegal haha) and presents! (we were celebrating my birthday which isn't till Wed but still haha It was so lovely!!! We had a nice dinner and then I got presents! money, heart shaped sticky notes, and girly bath stuff from his mom and dad, and Gilmore Girls season 5 from him!!! AHHH!!!! I was very excited. So excited, in fact, that we sat down and watched episode 1 together! (what a trooper)
Then we hopped on a completely overcrowded bus of drunk and fancy people to go to the dance. Ben was there with the girl I HOPE he asked out they were having a reat time! It was so fun! We made up dances to country stuff and practiced some of our swing moves. Coty is actually quite the awesome ballroom dancer since that class he took last semester haha None of us danced to rap. that's when we socialized. :D It was so fun. I had never been to a dance like that before! Well, Sean's drugs started to ware off so we left and came back here and watched the most wonderful movie! It was called A Walk in the Clouds and I just loved it. :D I wonder if there is a limit on how long blog posts can be.
Well, now that everybody knows about my day in it's entirety, I will get goin lol
adios!

hmmm

haha So, I realized that it has been a little while since I've posted here!
hmmm
I have a potential roomie for next year. She's a rower (so obviously she's sweet haha) we requested eachother so we just have to wait and see!
School is going pretty crazy right about now. All kinds of assignments are hitting me at once and i have to work every day this weekend. ugh. I am doin fine though. lalala One frustrating thing is, though, that I STILL miss my friends. I wish they were here! I am certainly making new friends, especially from rowing, but it is not the same ya know? I mean the frienships i had before took years and years to get where they were. oh well. I am not really complaining b/c everything IS just fine, just...musing, haha Yeah, haha so things havent really changed that much, maybe that's why I haven't posted! I HAVE been doing alot of thinking, but don't really have it all sorted out yet! haha Sean and I had an interesting conversation the other night, but I interpreted everything he said wrong but I didn't know HOW to take it (he couldn't see through the eyes of a girl and vice versa- this never happens to anybody!!!) but I talked to my mom yesterday and she pretty much translated haha So it's all good...I am waiting for Sean to get done with some homework so we can order some pizza! Tengo hambre!!!!
