sometimes I think in Spanish, I can easily spend 6 or more hours in a bookstore, i eat peanut butter with a spoon, and I love God.

Wow! Another week of school just flew by. I am wiped out. Lots of homework to do tomorrow, considering that I have already feel behind. I've heard from my friends in vienna and the pacific rim this week, which has been really fun. I've gotten to hear all about their adventures.
Some positive things about this:
-This random old man (white as could be) came straight up to me and started speaking in Spanish. Good thing I speak Spanish, huh?
-I placed membership at Mayfair Church of Christ (they have a new campus minister, and the church is going in such an awesome direction), I'm really excited about. They are even making the new directory soon, so I have to get my picture taken for it! haha.
-I get to write about a Spanish peice of work in my English Literature class! FUN!
-We had a TEFL mtg this week, where I learned about so many cool opportunities of teaching english

It makes me think a lot about my future. There are so many things I would love to do, hope I can do. But it's hard because I also want to be home with my family. But I keep feeling like to do all the things I want to do, won't let me be home with my family. And I'm just not sure how much I would like that. But they are all things that make me so happy - teaching english to foreigners, living and traveling foreign countries (I think I am going to start a list of places around the world to go see and things around the world to go do). I don't know, as hard as school is, it just makes me realize how much I love to learn, and gain new insights through new places and new ideas. If I could travel the world, and read books I think that would make me happy. Although I don't know that traveling the world alone is for me. Maybe one day I will find a companion who will travel the world with me, and build me a library. I would absolutely adore having my own. My mom thinks I'm crazy. But I would love it. I could spend all day there. I'm thinking beauty and the besast kind of library. oh yeah, with the sliding ladders, and bookshelves up to the ceiling.

Now it is a friday night, and I am watching Sense and Sensibility. I kind of want to read it now. I never have. I think i like reading books so much more than watching movies.

I'm so obsessive about my books haha.

Well that's my little rant for tonight. a long week, and a little de-stressor rant about my week.

Boo to the Mariners for not doing well. Come on guys...we need you! haha.

Hi Ash, Just read your new posting. It would be wonderful to do those things that make you happy. Perhaps you will find a job that would let you do that. Just have to keep your ears open for them. Other people do so can you. I love you and was just thinking of you. My bathroom is almost done. Just waiting for a few replacemnet parts via UPS. They sent the wrong ones. Surprise. Your Dad tried so hard to make sure everything was just right when he ordered them. But it doesn't bother me. It will get done. We love you and hope you have a great week. Love Grams
