Life in the apt.

So! I have energy and time, time and energy.. so I decided to blog again. :D


The most exciting news of my life the last few days is that I've been rather ill. Well.. really horribly sick to be honest. Probs one of the worst sicknesses I've gotten since the food poisoning that landed me in the hospital the summer before my Jr. year of High school. It was so very miserable. There was not much sleeping involved in my being sick, except for afternoon naps after sleepless nights, and a very terrible large amount of head pressure and upset stomachness and sore throat business. Oh! And a fever. Lots of the fever stuff actually. And that was my life. But I still managed to make it to all my classes (perhaps I've gotten all my classmates sick) and am not too terribly behind on readings. 


So.. not all the way better yet, but PTL I'm getting close. Phew. 
Anyways.. I live in an apt. now. :) It beats the dorms by a long shot. 


A quick tour.. 

The kitchen! Cute and Concise. :)

Our dining table (next to the kitchen)

Our very sad looking living room.. 

The hallway to mine and Amanda's bedrooms.
(mines on the left :])
ALSO! the bathroom and a closet are in that hall way too..

Yay my room!

  :) So.. all these lovely pictures are taken at such an artistic angle because I accidently left my camera at home in Storm Lake and thus used my mac book to take pictures which is a little bit awkward to angle and such.






Our dining area is rather small.. as you can see the size of a card table ish.. but! There are only three of us living in the apt so it's perfect! :)






And the living room
<----- so very sad looking. The futon is not yet put together because apparently the bolts and screws or whatever you call them are misplaced (not by me) and thus we sit on the floor... :( 
We will fix this problem soon I hope.


And decorate! We def could use some color. 




Oh! And you can't see it but there's a door to a bedroom in the living room as well. My other apt. buddy lives in there.
----> The little hallway :)


On the left ( the bright room!) is mine! Also.. the other door on the left is a closet.. 
And then Amanda's room and the bathroom is also to the right.. but you cant see it. 


Woohoo! This is where I spent the majority of my miserable existence. (being sick)


It is also very plain like the rest of our apt,


 but perhaps I will one day feel artistic and change that. It's very nice to not have a roommate tho. I like it very much.  

That's basically it.  :)

My study area 

Randomnesses

So,  it's the first week of class and I find myself sitting outside of Burge market place waiting for my friends to show up so we can eat lunch together. I don't feel particular inspired for a blog or anything, but as it turns out I still have 20 minutes of waiting to do and I drank coffee for the first time since Sunday morning and I'm shaaaaking like crazy and I'm just so jittery that I decided typing would be a good way of channeling this energy since the people around me were getting sick of my repeatedly tapping my phone against the table really fast and drumming on every such object I could find. 


Phew... so I guess I could talk about my life. It's been crazy lately. I changed my major the second day of classes and found myself on a long and glorious scavenger hunt collecting signatures of professors on my drop and add slips for classes. There was one such professor who was disappointed when he signed my drop slip and told me I was a good student when I left. I was terribly sad I had to drop his class also since he is my favorite professor and I had to drop on account of a pre-req that I didn't have.  Apparently, after I left that class he told the class that a class that i *had* taken of his counted as a pre-req. So.. the next day i was back to scavenger hunting for signatures and met with him in his office. He told me he wanted me back in his class and made me feel good about myself for 20 minutes before signing my add slip. How lovely. I look forward to his class. It's called HEL. And so he shook my hand and said "Welcome back to HEL.. glad to have you back." How nice of him. It made me smile. I've never been so excited to be going to HEL. 


Ah... still jittery. I would not suggest chugging coffee in the morning if its something that you haven't done in a while. Blah. It makes me feel rather uncomfortable. I feel like I could run 10 miles and still have energy. Granted I know I couldn't run 10 miles on account of me not being a fan of distance running. But if Kit were to challenge me in a sprint race to the mailbox today.. I'm sure I would win. That couldn't happen tho.. cuz he's in Storm Lake and I am in Iowa City and I suppose he would win on account of him being closer to our mailbox than me. Stink. 


Ooh! I'm going to a Phil Wickham concert tonight! I'm very excited. I like Phil Wickham. I've sseen him 2 or 3 times before.. but worshipping Jesus never never never gets old. I like Jesus. He's so wonderful. 


:(.. the lunch line is getting long.. I suppose that's to be expected since it's lunch time..siigh. 


Oh! I didn't say what I changed my major to! Social Work. I don't even know exactly what that is. But i suggested it to my advisor cuz I over heard the words 'social work' while riding the bus on my way to campus that morning and all the sudden that's what I was. Sounds fine to me. I don't know what I want to do with  my life anyways. Kind of a bummer. I feel a great need to be secure in my life and know exactly what my life plan is. I also still feel a little bit young. Granted.. I am still a teenager.. but I wish I knew what I was doing with my life. Spontaneous living is fun for a time.. but there gets to be a point where there needs to be some sort of plan. I feel like spontaneously going to another country for a few years. But I know it wouldn't be the most fun thing i ever did. I mean.. I've been to other countries. I didn't quite enjoy it. Both times. I mean.. seeing new places is wonderful and going on grand adventures is good too. But going to a place where people don't understand you, the cultures different, you feel out of place, you have to make new friends and find out a way to survive somehow all brand new is a bit of a challenge. Kinda like when you first get to college and there's a certain way of carrying about life so that you don't look like a lost freshman but you don't know it so you're just a lost freshman. Yeah that's a bummer. Nothing like being lost in another country.

Yes, I do still exist

So, it's been a reeeeeeeallly long time since I have blogged at all. Summer is just a difficult time to keep a blog because, for real, who wants to sit on a computer and tell the world about their adventures when you could actually just be having *more* adventures? :) 


I've drafted a number of blogs since camp ended... I don't really feel a need to post them though. But, I am truly glad that it's over and also very thankful for the way God stretched me over the summer.
