WIIGII!!! I passed calc! And, and, it gets better.... I'm going to DMB concert!! This summer is gonna rock. Just me, and April... and maybe Thomas... which will be... exciting.. since they don't really get along. Hmm... anyway, the point here is that I'm going to go see Dave Matthews Band! Yes!
... And the neighbors thought that my week-long DMB marathons were over... hehe.... no, my friend, they have only just begun.

Love my new job. If only I could tell Drew and the guy who looks like Drew... Kevin! (I can never remember his name). Anyway, if I could tell them apart, I'd be good to go.

Goin to DMB......

I went to The Getty yesterday, to escape more than anything else, I suppose. Five hours is a long time to be up there, especially since I had just been on Wed. Gives me lots of time to sit around and think about how lucky I am, even if the world is going to Hell around me. Tom's left me again. Which isn't really fair to say, I guess, since I very much left him first.

I got a new job, working for Purpose Driven. Tomorrow is my first day. I am very excited to be conference coordinator, seeing as how Saddleback does huge conferences. But a lot of them are in summer, which means Tom and I will spend another summer apart. Nothing new, I guess. Sometimes I wonder what we are going to do when we are actually together again. Sometimes I think God is just prepping us for something else. Which worries me, I guess.

I am now officially a small group co-leader. I don't remember if I posted that or not.

I get grades later this week.

I think it's gonna rain. I miss Tom. I hope all of you fall in love, really in love. It's good for your soul.

Its raining!! Yay!!!

In other news, I have a new job. Hopefully. I still have to formally apply. But if all goes according to plan (read: If I can pass this theology test/interview) then I will be a conference coordinator for Purpose Driven. Wiigii!!

My Calc/ Hum Core finals are on monday. I thought that I could just focus on Calc, since I have more than a perfect in Hum Core. But appariantly Hum Core is actually going to require work this time. Bummer. My last essay sucked. Maybe Ron won't notice.

My dad's car stopped working. Transmission... ouch. Anyway, so that's a bummer. And Tom is with him mom... which means he will now be here in four days. I can't wait. It's just what has to come before wed that I could stand waiting for.

WIIGII!!!! Congratulations to Me on my one year anniversary!! Oh, yeah, and Tom too...I guess. :)

In an effort to further procrastinate studying for next week's finals, I have now officially read every single It's Walky!/Roomies! Comic. Every Single One. Sort of depressing, the lengths to which I will go in order to avoid studding, isn't it?

Spring break in ten days...Tom in nine...the countdown begins today...
