dun dun DUN!

I am officially done with the first semester of my senior year! :) Two left! (Actual courses then student teaching in Fall of 2009!)

The end is near!

Fear In Our Eyes

So, looking at Charlie's (my doggy relative on Mom's side) eyes...

It just simply says it all... the stress of finals looming over the students' heads and realizing what we have yet to accomplish before the time is up on December 18th.

....or in poor Charlie's case, it was his uncle's ability to terrorize him.



Yet, these fears can be pacified by our trust and faith in Jesus Christ, who overlooks us and holds us close to Him. Phil. 4:6-7, "6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

Closing of Fall Semester '08

Fall Semester are coming to a close, less than a month before I move out from the first apartment that I've able to rent on my own. It is a very sad realization for me as my roommate, Alissa Ver Steeg (Ver Stegg is how you pronounce it, take it from this deaf person!). But, it is pretty exciting at the same time, as we both are embarking on to bigger adventures that lay in front of us: Africa student teaching for Alissa's hearing placement! If you need anything more to pray about... pray for her safety and for her horizons to be broadened big time for the next few months! She leave in beginning of January and return mid-March. For this other "half" of apartment 308, I'm getting married in 185 days and counting dowwwnnn... May 30th! :) I'm just a wee bit excited. :)

The overused question people ask me, "So, when will you graduate? What will you do after graduation?"

The truth is. I don't know. I have no idea. Typical college student's response, I realize that. I mean, who would have a "fake" graduation from Augustana in May, then take a summer course, then student teach for 20 weeks in Fall and finally get her diploma signed in end of 2009 to beginning of 2010.

Yes. That is yours truly.

Pictures will follow the next post. I'm getting hang of this. :)

Happy Thanksgiving! Remember to count your blessings! A friend just said, "Thank goodness you use ASL, because you can count with one hand, as you will run out fingers and toes to count your blessings!"

Testing 1..2...3...

As a person grabbing the mic.
First thing the person will do is "test 1...2...3..."

You get the idea what I am doing. :)

Looking forward to see how this works out. :)
