When it isn't there it just isn't there.  {sigh}

My students could use some.  Anything you want to throw their way would be appreciated.

Since moving here I have hung out with a lot of old friends, made some new friends, connected with some friends of friends, and picked up a guy in a bar who I am now dating.

He took me to a house party that first night where I ended up dancing on the bar.  He's not Asian.  He is older than me.  Shocking I know.

That is all.

I am such an egg.

Include touring the fraternity houses.  Since I am a woman I can't go see all the updates that have been made to the houses any other time of year.  So yesterday after driving back into town from the conference I was at earlier in the week, I got to go tour two of the houses that have had extensive changes made since I was last in them as an undergraduate coed. 

I also got to hang out with friends and in some cases their kids which was a blast.  Last night was dinner, Karaoke, hanging out at the traditional bar for my group and then getting invited back to a fraternity house by several alumni to hang out for several more hours. 

I was really fortunate this week to get to hang out with graduate school friends at the conference and college friends at Homecoming.

I am blessed.

Thanks for the prayers guys. 

Thanks for talking with me while you drove home Paigoomein.  It was great to have such a nice long talk.  I miss our "Boba Conferences" as I used to think of them.

Thanks Camillegal for letting me bounce ideas.

Thanks to my students for letting me teach them.

Thanks to God for being such a wonderful, fearful, amazingly loving Savior.

I am greatly blessed even when everything is going wrong.  Not that it is right now, but this week was very hard and thanks to being honest and frank with my Lord, I was able to rest in Him and let things go.

Amen.

How are all of you?  What do you need to turn over to Him?

Lately I have been really missing one specific person.  I think part of it is that I have not really been able to meet any other young singles here.  Part of it is also probably that I am finally realizing just how much this person meant to me - which is a bit scary because it sincerely complicates things.

Prayer appreciated.

I've reached that age.  Wore my "Nerds Gone Wild" shirt out last night.  I think the students I saw enjoyed it.  I enjoyed the sushi, tempura and udon with friends.

I feel blessed to have reached another anniversary of my birth.  We are all blessed every day we open our eyes in the morning.  Don't ever forget that.

Spent the last two days prepping exam questions, shuffling students through my office, and entering grades.

I'm going for a massage tomorrow.  I have earned it, besides it is my gift to myself.  I get older this weekend.

First day of classes.  I think it went well.  How are all of you?
