Update!

Sometimes it feels like I'm all alone in the world and I'm drowning and all I've got to hold on to is a useless stick, which will do nothing to save me. Other times I feel as if I'm on top of the world, and it's exhilerating and exciting and terrifying all at the same time.

I'm excited and terrified to go back to camp this year, which will be my fourth summer. Many changes have already happened (good and bad... bad being friends leaving), and many are yet to come. I'm excited for the possibilities this year holds, actually. Don't get me wrong, I'm scared out of my mind, too, but I'm slowly but surely dealing with that fear day by day.

It may be kind of shallow and vain of me, but my biggest concern for the upcoming 6 months is how often I'll be able to wear my skirts. It's often rainy and/or cold in the spring, so I'll want to wear pants; I anticipate working almost every day this summer, so I'll have to wear pants in there; and it's often cold, rainy and/or windy in the fall, so again, I'll want to wear pants more than anything. With my job at the hotel, I've been allowed to wear skirts at work for the first time since working at Sears in high school, and it's been marvelous! I can say with certainty that I've only worn pants in this building three times: once to drop off my resume, and twice for night shifts. I'm at the point now where skirts feel more natural to me than pants. I also love all of my tights, which makes skirts so much more fun! Whatever will I do without my skirts for 6 months? Deal, I guess. Because that's what life is about: dealing with whatever's thrown at you.

I'd also like to add just in passing that if any of you are ever in Leth for the last weekend of March and have $10 to spare, I would definitely recommend you go see Global Drums at the University. It's quite awesome and the vast majority of you don't even know what you're missing! Seriously.

I also have less than a month to work through the whole Basic: series by Francis Chan. Wish me luck on that endeavour... God is good.

All the time. God is good.
