Official Countdowns...
3 Weeks until Spring Break!!!! (I have torn feelings about Spring Break. First I am sad because I won't be going home. I miss my parents so much. But, I decided to hopefully save them/me some money. Second, I am happy because I get to spend my break in Florida!!! I haven't had much time to spend at the beach and just bumming around this place. I am so excited to actually be able to do whatever I want pretty much for a week and a half. I am planning on going up to Tally-town to see my best friend who I miss so much for a weekend. Then I am staying with my friend Rachel from freshman year. Her dad lives in Tampa so I will stay with them for the rest of the time probably. yay!)
10 Weeks until the End of the Semester!!! Holy stinkin' cow I can't believe how fast this time is flying! I love it!
So just a quick preview of my weekend, which I think will be turing out even better than last weekend....I have spring soccer this afternoon from 4-5pm. Then Lauren, Kristin, and I are going to this mall we have newly discovered that is fantastic! We are going to get dinner, do some window shopping, just chill and try crazy stuff on and illegally take pictures! Haha it's so dumb that they don't let you take pictures in stores. I'm not like some fashion designer that's going to steal their designs or something! Then the plan is to come back to school and I am going to take a nap before tonight. Tonight is the semi-annual dodgeball tournament that starts at midnight. I usually go and watch the whole thing that lasts til like 3am. But this time I wasn't going to go because I have a race in the morning at 7. Well, the girls' basketball team is forming a dodgeball team and I really want to support my roommate so I at least want to go for an hour or so. So I will take a nap and then get up and go. Then, yes I am running again in the morning! I am so excited! It's only 5 miles so that should be a nice run for me. I am hoping to do it in a good time too! My Saturday daytime plans are up the the air...depending on weather: beach or baseball game. We'll see. Then Saturday night I'm going over to Mel's house in Lakeland and hangin out with her and Lauren for the rest of the weekend. YAY!
Oh and somewhere in there I will be fitting homework...hopefully... ;-)

Wonderful Weekend
This weekend actually turned out to be a pretty fun time, considering I thought it was going to be absolutely boring. Well actually, Friday was pretty much a bust, but Saturday-Monday was great!
I went to bed so early Friday night because I was bored. Loser, I know. But, since I went to bed so early, I got up early. I love getting up early here on Saturdays because there is absolutely nobody around. The weather is usually a little cool and campus and my unit are silent. I love it. So I got up at 7:30ish and got ready and went out shopping to Target and Ross. It was nice to just go out by myself and actually hear myself think. Brunch was good and then I socialized with some of the girls for a while. We painted our nails and played the Wii. At 3ish Dobbs, Caitlin, and I went over to the baseball game. It was the most beautiful day out! We got Chipotle for dinner, which was pretty good except the chicken was so spicy and I do not like anything spicy at ALL! Then the plan was for me was just to hang out all night and maybe go to bed early again (lol) but the girls convinced me to be on their team for "the Amazing Race" game that one of the Greeks was putting on. So Saturday night from 8-11 we raced around clearwater and surrounding areas doing embarrassing stunts and capturing it all on tape for everyone to watch when we got back. We didn't end up winning but it was so much fun and I'm glad they talked me into it.
Sunday morning was not so great. I woke up with a pounding headache. I was so bummed b/c I wanted to go to church so bad, but I just wasn't up for it. So I slept and took some drugs and pretty much got rid of the headache by the afternoon. Night church was good...it was a missionary and his wife who are planning on going to Siberia. He was a really good speaker.
Yesterday (Monday) wouldn't have been that great except my roommates agreed to come with me to this mall that's kind of far away so I could go to the Dick's Sporting Goods store there. It was like a mini road trip and I had a blast! So many funny things happened plus I got new running shoes that I desperately needed! My poor feet!!! So my new shoes are supposed to be really good support and such...and also they are prettttyyyyy :-)
And I'm really excited that we found that mall b/c it was amazing! We didn't have time to walk around and window shop much yesterday b/c Lauren had to get back for bball, but I think on Friday afternoon/evening we are going to have another roommate outing to the mall and actually enjoy the whole mall this time! There is a restaurant there called Rice that we really want to eat at too!
Alright, well I guess I should go be productive or something! Happy Tuesday!!!

Missions
If you think about it, pray for me. I need it desperately. These past couple weeks, God has been bombarding my heart with a burden for missions. Every time in the past that there has been someone speaking on missions, I think oh here we go again and effectively tune them out. But God has been using, chapel, church, and wednesday evening campus prayer meeting to soften my heart and make it ache for missions. I don't know what this all means...Am I supposed to just go on a short missions trip? Should I use my teaching degree and teach in a foreign country? Should I just give up everything I've worked so hard for for 4 years and go be a missionary? I have no clue! I need guidance over the next year big time to know what I should be doing for the Lord. I am excited, but scared to see where God will be taking me!!!

Happy February!
Well it's hard to believe, but it is, in fact, February! Yay! Not that anything exciting happens this month, but it just means we're that much closer to the summer! School is going pretty good. I have 2 tests today, which is not too exciting, but that's alright. I guess it's what I signed up for, right?
I am getting nervous about my 15k on Saturday. I've set some goals for myself:
GOAL #1 - Finish!!! This may seem dumb, but seriously...it's a good goal
GOAL #2 - Finish in between 80-90 minutes. I'd really like to finish somewhere between 80-85 minutes, but I need to make my goals reasonable and attainable. SO..that's that.
I've really been thankful for the good weather here recently. It's at that stage where it's not too hot yet, but warm enough that it's warmer outside than it is inside, which I love! It's been high 70's which is perfect! I went to the beach Saturday. It was chilly because the wind was blowing a little. But, I still got some good sun! I pretty much lost all my tan from soccer, so it's nice to have a little color again!
I've been extremely excited about what God has for my future lately. I don't even know what it is and I'm excited! Call me crazy, but who cares! I know for a fact that God is going to use my life to honor himself and that's so cool!!! Sometimes I can't just help but physically smile because of what God is doing in my life and how powerful He is...
