the dreaming tree

well, i just had a wonderful evening of packing up my room for the move across campus, and hanging out with my new friend emily. she experienced many things…most of them proving how much of a dork i am. lessee…i backed over a curb and side-swiped a tree. a small one, though…so don’t worry, my truck is ok. heh. also, i got insanely and unnecessarily excited about explaining what a balk is. of course i acted it out. and, i told many anti-climactic stories. i had fun, though. especially when i found out she has two mickey mantle baseball cards and a willie mays. now, how cool is that? quite chilly.

tomorrow i will be back home after a long semester. and even though i’m on break, i have a lot of things to accomplish before the beginning of next semester. i’m pretty intent on getting stuff done this time, too. i’m tired of wallowing in mediocrity, and so, God-willing, i am embarking on a new chapter of life in which i actually go to class, do my homework and finish projects before the last minute. it’s exciting to think of the possibilities…but also sobering to realize the many pitfalls that await me. i pray that Satan is kept at bay, and that the strength of Christ fulfills my every ache, desire and need. i can’t decide if that’s correct grammar there in that list, but oh well. you get the idea. and more importantly, so does He. i’ll see ya on the other side.
