right now it's 27 degrees.

it was 17 degrees when i woke up this morning and i thought my weather bug must have been messed up, so i had to double-check with lindsay.

i'm not a fan of cold weather at all, but hey - at least we're finally moving into another season of the year (which = spring's that much closer....haha).

i've been asked to do entertainment for sga again. the thought of that makes me excited, especially since i have some ideas that we could use this semester that i think could really work well on this campus. since my last bout with entertainment, i've really learned a lot (especially being out of sga for a year). i've definitely learned that my grades are more important at this point, and i hope that i have also learned not to take things so personally and just to enjoy it. i'm still not sure whether i'll be doing it this semester, but it looks like there's a good chance.

in other news, nick's birthday was yesterday so we went to the cheesecake factory last night. good times, wonderful people.

fiddler on the roof is friday and melinda's 21st is saturday. we're going out of town and it is sure to be a good time. ;)

also, this semester i have already had the chance to write for a college devotional that is being published by professors from biola university in californ-i-a. i have already submitted two entries, and they have replied to one and asked for a few revisions, but they want me to send more. i'm really glad about that b/c it has been really encouraging to see these opportunities popping up out of nowhere.

the last week in january we are having a tsunami relief week here at campbell to raise funds for a relief organization. there will be a 3-on-3 tourny, variety show, candlelight vigil, coffee house, and end with the basketball game that thursday. just to let you know. i think it's a good idea if we all go ahead and set an amount we want to contribute individually because that way we won't be caught without any money to give. so here's a heads-up!

i'm really thankful for all the people i get to know better here. even just talking to some people for a few minutes each day makes me happy, like toni and josh today at lunch. i literally saw them for 3 or 4 minutes today, but they're great to be around. and i get to see katie, melinda, kt beck, jeanna, and gretchen more this semester than before it seems and i intend to keep it that way. :)

i guess i should get ready to go to envs lab. and work on controlling the excitement oozing out of my pores.
