The amazing thing is...

...that I still love it here just as much as I did when I last posted. I love it in spite of the fact that I have two major exams this week, or that the cafeteria food is only okay. I love APU even though the trolleys aren't as reliable as I'd like them to be and I have to wake up early on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

I have found the nerdiest, craziest kids on campus to be my friends. They humble me and challenge me to believe differently, think differently, and be differently.

I am in classes that I am passionate about.

And there's a little prayer chapel that's perfect.

Thanks Mom and Dad.

Notes on being rich.

I love APU!

I love being a Cougar!

I love all of the people here!

I can't express the deep contentment and joy that I am experiencing, but it is a feeling of being exactly where I am supposed to be. All I can say is that I am deeply blessed to have this. Seasons of life are great because the good parts always come eventually.

Did I mention how much I love it here?

The amazing thing is that I am not feeling completely in control of everything. In fact, the next few weeks and years are kind of up in the air. I could minor in theater, or double major, or go to Yosemite or Oxford, or South Africa. I could go on a missions trip, or work with high schoolers or visit the elderly. College is going to be a humbling experience, and I can't wait. I need to get over myself sooner or later, and I think this is a good time. My world is not the world.
