Good day means next one is bad?

so yesterday was so good that today has to be a bad one? Kinda weird how I woke up so refresehed yesterday and today was the exact opposite. I realized I had forgotten to do a homework assignment and that I have so much work to get done and I won't be able to work tomorrow as I have to go to orientation is Irvine. GRRRRRRR

I am speaking at CRU tonight and am not completely prepared. But I feel pretty relaxed about that at the moment. Probbly because I don't have a lot of time to worry about that until I have the more pressing and immediate things taken care of.

Back to work, needed a break.

Oh and my back has been killing me.

maybe it is bed time

ok, I keep hitting post and publish instead of formatting my messages.......

Good News

So, I won't be homeless this summer. I actually got a great deal for subletting a room in a house this summer. That was great to fond out.

Rest

Today was very nice. I decided to not put in extra hours at work and be a bumm in the morning. I went to bed at a decent hour and slept in a little. That was a great way to wake up. I then did a lot of nothing for a few hours. After being a bum for a while I decided it isn't in my nature to be a complete bum so I cleaned my kitchen and living room. That made me feel better. I then went to work and class and was home early.

When I got home I did 5 loads of laundry!!! I had been putting that off for a while.

Now I am working on a talk I am giving tomorrow night at Crusade.

Lots to share but too tired. Some things going on in the sorority that can use prayers. Seems anytime we mention unity things suddenly get torn apart. It is even harder seing as I will only be president for about another week. Can't believe the time is almost over.

Bump on the head

So I was at work and a co-worker asked about raising the chair. So I tried and ended up getting a big knott on my noggin. Somehow the chair managed to go forward instead of up (that was an operator problem). It ended up nocking me and making me almost fall over. Apparently is was a funny sight to see.

Wow

I had such an amazing weekend. There is so much to tell. The convention went so well. There was a very good turnout, probably the largest we have ever had. Everything came together so well. Our theme of individually Unique Together Complete was great for the sorority and all the chapters from everywhere.

I had so much fun hanging out with so many different people. New friends, old friends. Having all the chapters together really shows what the sorority is about. We are much more than just the Theta chapter in Fresno. We have sisters all across the USA.

This weekend we threw a Toga party on Friday night (lots of fun!!) Saturday was the convention for about 135 people. Saturday night about 20 of us went out to dinner and then even more joined us just to hang out. I had four women stay with me in my apartment. I got to run someone to the airport at 4 am on Sunday, then back to bed for a bit before Yosemite. I have had the pleasure of getting to know some of the Alabama girls. They are so awesome. They hadn't got to see much of California before so we took them to Yosemite for the day. There we got to play in the SNOW, see deer and a coyote and get wet in the falls. It is so pretty there. I have lots of pictures, as me to see them sometime.

Monday was lots of fun also. We drove the girls to the airport in San Jose. Left there at 9:30 am. Very early morning. Then made it back to Fresno for work and classes at 1. So sad to see them gone and the weekend be over.

This being my last convention is sad. I don't know where I will be when I get back from Scotland. There is so much going through my mind. Change is always hard and leaving things behind......

Now I have so much on my plate and I just need sleep and some me time. Not sure when that is going to happen.

I did get a good email on Friday before the marathon of a weekend started. I have been atleast, initially placed in Edinburgh Scotland for next year!! YEAH

Deep Breaths

Have you ever heard of spiritual breathing?? Breath the Spirit in and exhale out the yucky stuff. Repeat until you are relaxed and can feel the Spirit working. I just need to remember to breath and rely of Him for all that I am doing. That is something I haven't been doing as well as I should be. I have a lot going on in the next couple of weeks and I am letting myself stress out about it. Than is not going to help. Prayers would be helpful. Pray for no rain as we have some outdoor events planned this weekend. So what is going on this weekend? ADX is having its national convention in Fresno and I am the one in charge. Things are pretty well in order, there are just a lot of things to get done.

Just think how fun a toga party will be on Friday night. Then on Saturday all the chapters come together to worship, listen to a speaker, and spend the day together. We then will hang out some more on Saturday night. After church on Sunday some of us are planning in going to Yosemite. What a great weekend.

Next week I am starting the week out with an early morning airport drop off in San Jose. I have 3 papers due and I think I am speaking at Cru on Thursday night. That is all without having the weekend to work on all those things.

Did I ever mention that I have officially been accepted for STINT next year?? That means I need to start raising support.

Work has also been a little crazy. Well, crazy isn't the right word.... there are just a lot that needs to get done. I don't want to be the one in charge, and if anyone else asks me, if I like being the one in charge, I might loose it. I need to delegate more at work.

That is just a little of what is going on with me. Oh wait, here is the best part-- I can't find my W2s anywhere and taxes are due in a couple days. Oye!!

Pray for me.-- My back has been hurting, but I think that is where all the stress is going.

Great Weekend and beginning of the week

I had a great long weekend down in SO CA. Nice time mostly just relaxing, some shopping. No beach...each day started out overcast and we changed our plans. I did get to go to IKEA and that is always fun.

I got to hang out with a few different friends and meet the new girls of our sorority from Azusa. I also saw the passion movie again with a friend.


Loopiness

For some reason on Monday I think I lost my brain. I was completely out of it. Some very interesting think came out of my mouth. I called someone and told them that my name was someone else's, I called a couch a car, I said that I had been to a place in Irvine on my way to San Francisco (instead of San Diego). That was only a few of the things. I guess I left my brain at home, oh well, I think it is back now.

Quote of the Day

I know God promises not to give me more than I can handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much.
Mother Teresa

Spring Break

So I am starting my spring break by sitting on my bum!! I will have spent 7 hours at work on my bum, the 4 or so hours in a car. Great way to start it!!

I am completely looking forward to this. My plans-- going to So Ca for the beach, shopping, going over some ADX stuff. Attending an ADX meeting. I will probably return on Monday. Tuesday is a work day, Wednesday at Bass Lake. Thursday cleaning and then going home. Lets see how well I stick to that. I need to do a lot of research for a paper and some other school related stuff.
