Busy Busy Busy!

Argh! I've been so busy it's making me so tired. I woke up way late today. I know that once school is over things won't be so crazy, but as of now, they are.

School
Done with my research paper! Now I just have to write my poetry paper :)
English class is fun right now though. We read excerpts from Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" and then we watched the 1931 movie version. Now we are watching the 1994 version. I don't know what about scary movies make me depressed, but I always come out feeling depressed.
In Math class we had our last new lesson yesterday! Now it's just review for the test and then review for the final, I don't feel stressed about it.
I have my ten minute speech next week in speech class, I have a major work day for the speech tomorrow. I'll just be glad to have it over with!
I made one stupid print four times last night in photography. I just couldn't get it right.
This may sound weird but I dug through the trash in the dark room and found all these cool messed up prints. I don't know, I think they look artistic.
Geneva apparently will give me 3,000 off a semester so I'm really looking forward to that. I will probably minor in Christian ministries with an emphasis on missions. My other option would be ESL. I'm gonna talk to a few different missionaries and see what they think. I will register in June, hopefully Daddy can go up with me. They have a "Summer Preview".
I still don't feel that great about leaving but I know I should at least try college. Everybody is saying that once I get there I will love it.

Car Troubles
So, when I was getting off the exit ramp for business 3 on the way to class the power steering went kaput! I had even called Daddy earlier in the day and said the car was "moaning". Fortunately I was able to safely get off the ramp and pull into a parking lot. I was on the phone with Mom at the time she told Daddy and he drove a half hour. A tow truck took him away and I took his car to make it the rest of the way to class. When he looked at where the power steering fluid goes, it was all flooded. So, something is wrong with the pump. We shall see.

Missions Trip
So, I'm still a thousand dollars short. I'm getting a little ansy at this point. I know I need to trust God for the remaining funds but I'm just worried Mommy and Daddy will end up contributing a lot. I'm then worried I'll get a big lecture on how maybe it was better that this summer I stayed home and made money for college. Hopefull the funds will come in. I need to trust God about this! I'm really excited about the actual trip though. Yuliya keeps telling me about people I knew last year that will be back again. It will be such a blessed time seeing all of my friends from last summer. I have missed them terribly.

Church Life
Elly's shower was this past weekend! It went really well and Elly was able to get a lot of nice things for her future home. I met her for breakfast yesterday at Double D. It was so great talking and catching up. We had not for a while. We talked about all the wedding plans and I am so excited for her wedding! It's gonna be so fun seeing her and mark start their lives together and dressing up won't be bad either :). Tomorrow we're gonna go to Springton Manor and get some ideas for wedding pictures.
On Sunday night Lou Ellen spoke about Australia. It was really great to hear about her trip. She had an amazing time.
After that we went out to Double D Diner to meet with Stella like always. I will miss her so much next year but especially this summer since I will be in Russia without her! She's like a second mother to me. We are going to have a sleepover and watch Balto and Anastasia in honor of Russia and Alaska. It will be such a great time being with two of my most favorite people.

I can't wait until the beach, I keep thinking about it! I can't wait to have my birthday at the beach also!

Kayla Joy's birthday party will be 1 1/2 weeks! I can not wait. So on that day I have the ladies tea and then Kayla's birthday party and then Sleepover at Stella's and the next day getting the dresses with Elly. Fun times!

Can I just say that I'm so happy that Hillary is winning all these primarys. Because, I think McCain has a chance of beating her and I will take McCain over Barack and Hillary.

That's all, my first blogpost!
