Yup

Yup. It's definitely the end of the semester. Things are winding down and I am finished with three classes. I didn't go to Cp for work this weekend and that was a wonderful break. I was able to go to a Rally, host an After Rally, join in making gingerbread houses on Saturday, and throw my roommate a birthday party on Sunday. It was all and all a good weekend. We had a movie night last night and we watched Superman. There was more making of Gingerbread houses and some great fellowship. I forgot just how much I missed being around my friends.

One of my high school youth leaders has finally made it down here to visit me. It was great to have him around and to show him some of my friends.

I have begun reading Pride and Prejudice. I am a big fan. I had read some of it before but I was lost in the language. However, after 10 hours devoted to watching Pride and Prejudice on Monday. The old one (6 hours, borrowed from a friend, amazing) and the new one twice (2 hours, owned by myself, and equally amazing). I am officially one of those girls. Those girls who are completely enamored with the idea of catching their own Mr. Darcy.

In talking with my roommate who is also a lover of the book. We love the witty, ornery, and almost trouble-maker aspect of Elizabeth Bennet. We see a great deal of her in ourselves. We also are amazed with the lengthy perusal of Mr. Darcy of Elizabeth. (The movies do no justice to this. Read the book if you want to see perusal.) I love this era in time and I feel as though I was born a great many years too late. (My feminist brother will be disgusted with that statement.)

That's all for now. Dinner Time.

Check

Thanksgiving is over. Is it odd to be thankful that Thanksgiving is over? I went through a large range of emotions last week. Not that the break was terrible. It wasn't. However, I do feel a certain amount of relief that the first holiday as a divorced family is over. CHECK! I feel a sense of peace that I haven't felt in a long time. As if eventually all this crap will actually go away. It's a good feeling. Happy Thanksgiving all.

Lexapro

Thoughts from the girl who forgot to take her anti-anxiety meds last night:

This is all very surreal. It feels as though.... This cannot really be my life, right?

We all got so very skilled at pretending everything was alright. Then for brief moments, we were allowed to show the truth.

However, now I find myself trying to once again pretend that everything is alright. Unfortunately, this seems to be having a negative effect of my psyche.

These are the unspecified and archaic thoughts of a girl who forgot to take her anti-anxiety meds last night.

Thanksgiving

I like my bed. It is nice and big. I like my room. It is pretty and I enjoy the colors I picked. Black is so soothing. Not really deep. Just looking for some positives.

Waves

Trying to experiment with some new blog settings.

Picture

I'm trying to add a picture. We are going to try this out.

Providence

God's providence is seriously amazing. God put a woman in my life (Mindy) who knows me inside and out, purely because she is the same person. God is great at making you see his provision. Ask me about her sometime.

America

4 Days until my brother comes to America!

Countdown

5 Days until my brother comes home.

Temporary

In a movie I saw a long time ago, there is a quote that says, "Until the effects wear off, you should probably just consider yourself temporarily insane." Today, I am anyone but myself. I have a huge range of emotions. I hope this wears off soon. I pretty much know when it will end, but there is just too much going on right now to add the joy of temporary insanity.

Sorry, purposely vague. I just don't want to go into the detail of the emotions.
