Been a Long Time!

wow, i haven't posted in forever!! Things have been crazy since school started back, shane now has my job at the hotel, working graveyards on the weekends so we can pay the bills, i am family housing coordinator at UAM, which is working out pretty swell thus far, and i just got the position of music librarian as a work study job, and according to the band director, i'm in for it cause that place is a wreck!
School is going great, i love my music classes, as usual, biology is okay, the lab is a drag, and i'm taking japanese as my modern language. I think it's awesome and I love it, but most everybody else thinks i'm crazy for tackling a whole new culture instead of one i'm a little more familiar with like spanish. me, on the other hand, is estatic to finally be able to start reading all the background text in anime films! ;)
While on subject of school, Lady Knights are up and at 'em again, we are giving out our membership bids this week, and hopefully by next week, things will be getting into the swing of pledging season! :D I'm excited about all our new girls coming in, and i hope they make it through until the final night of pledging!! :) i wish i could do it again *sigh*. Oh, and speaking of joining new organizations, alex is trying to get me in to tri sigma. I'm not so sure about it.....
Church is going okay, i haven't made a wednesday night service in forever because those 7pm meetings are lasting longer than they are supposed to! i'm ready to get back in the swing of church again, with the wedding and everything this summer, things got crazy for a while and we missed a lot of services, and my job didn't help any because i couldn't stay awake through sunday morning...now i'm not on graveyards anymore...and i wish my husband wasn't either, but we need the money right now...the people here mean well, i know...but having little old ladies running after my moving car yelling "where is your husband?!" gets old after about the first time. Shane still comes, but he's so discouraged because everyone comments on his absences. "and just where were you?" like i said, they mean well, but some of these old biddies are gonna peck the young ones to death if they don't quit. and to top that off, we were both "born" spiritually in Smackover, AR. If you've ever been there, it's almost like being in revival 24/7, because everyone worships instead of sitting on the pew looking around waiting for someone else to take the dive...sadly, its not the case most of the time with just about any other church. I'm not saying that there aren't churches like that around, just none around here. He came from being able to worship freely to having people come up to him afterward "i sure did enjoy watching you worship tonight" his reply? "why watch when you can participate?" its like a whole different world worship-wise. he has never really been somewhere where just a few are the "leaders" in worship service...and it's been terribly discouraging to him.
anyways, i'm babbling on and on and i have homework to do! i'll catch you all later, and God Bless!
