I'm Back!

As is very apparent, I took a very long unannounced break from my blog. First, school just got so crazy that I didn't really have time to keep up dating. Then, when I actually had time, I didn't feel like writing and I didn't want to burn myself out by forcing it. So, I just stayed silent for awhile. But now, the writer in me is waking up again. Maybe it's because winter is (hopefully ending) or maybe because last night was the first time in ages I have stayed up till 2:00 am (don't worry, I got up at noon yesterday, as well, so it's fine). Anyways, here is an update for you all:

School:
 Even though last semester was crazy for me (never take a 8:30 am class the morning after a night class that goes till 10:00 pm and speech practice that often goes till 9:00 pm), I had a lot of fun. So far, this semester isn't as fun. I love my debate class and English Lit is pretty fun. But World Civ and Human Geography are boooorrrring. The subject matter is kinda interesting, but there is really no intellectual stimulation involved. There aren't any papers in Geography and very few in History. All that's involved is listening to lectures and taking test. *sigh* I miss paper writing.

On the other hand, forensics is going very well. I think I am finally getting into the swing of things.

Personal:
I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!!! Yes, I am very excited about this fact. Not so much because I have a boyfriend (honestly girls, they are often more trouble then they're worth), but because it means that I get to have the most amazing guy I have ever met be in love with me. Bryan has been one of my best friends for a long time and the fact that he can be more than that makes me very happy.


God:
I have discovered why so many college students fall away from God. It is very easy to push Him aside when life is busy. I've found myself kind of doing this. Especially because traveling to tournaments means missing church a lot of the time, it can be very easy to lose sight of Him. So, right now I am working on making time for him every day by doing devotions and stuff. So far, I have not always remembered, but I'm getting better, so that's good.

Thank you all for reading my blog and hopefully I will get back into updating on a more regular basis.
