Lil' update/Awkwards & Awesomes

'sup ya'll. I just wanted to do a quickie update and let you know that though I feel it on the inside due to all that studying, I am in fact NOT DEAD. Just totes cray busy up 'n hurrr.
I cannot believe that I am more than halfway done with my first term!  

Here are some awkwards and awesomes for the last few weeks:
Awkwards

  • thinking my headphones were plugged in to my computer while I was listening to an australian man teach me the basics of the stretch reflex on youtube while sitting on the silent floor...they were not plugged in...everyone could hear.
  • when people wear sunglasses inside...weird!
  • trying to eat my applesauce without a spoon. Essentially I was drinking it...not the quietest way to go about consuming food (again on the silent floor!)
  • when the automatic toilet flushes whilst you are...ahem...taking care of business.
  • when the worker at the dining hall calls you "sweetie"...
  • sneezing super loudly (on the silent floor of the library)
  • when people who are not from the south say ya'll (kind of like I just did...pot calling kettle black, maybe?)
    • I think it makes a difference when it is said with distinct midwestern accent...just sayin'.
Awesome
  • my best friends. You know who you are. I am continually blown away by the way they show their love to me, even from 2000 miles away!
  • my friend Nina who is also from the northwest and understands my Oregon snobbery. 
  • when people give birth. Congrats Ian and Sarah on becoming parents to little Greyer!
  • my Beavers moving up to #10 in the nation!
  • wearing cowboy boots to school. sorry I'm not sorry!
  • planning my wedding (it's never too early, right?)! I have been going to TOWN on my pinterest wedding board
  • getting my white coat! See? (ps she is from Corvallis too!)

I am thankful for this fall weather, for my church, and for the friends that I have made. The Lord is always good, always faithful. To all my Corvallis friends, I love you all and I miss you dearly.

Day 1: who would have thought the RAIN would follow me to Chicago?!

Image
Well, it has been nearly 24 hours since I touched down in the windy city and let me tell you, it has been NOTHING like what I expected it to be. First off, the rain I encountered upon arriving would have seriously given Oregon rain a run for it's wet money. I kid you not, there was seriously a flash flood advisory for the evening! However, unlike Oregon, the weather was probably 75 degrees--something I was NOT used to. Luckily, I didn't have to spend too much time in the rain because my shuttle driver had arrived on time and was ready to whisk me off to my hotel in the 'burbs. *here is some free advice: when traveling to somewhere you are not familiar with like, say, CHICAGO, check to see if the airport has a shuttle service--that way you do not have to pay up the wazoo in taxi fares.  After a somewhat awkward ride in the shuttle bus,(while taking a shuttle may be the cheaper option, keep in mind that you get what you pay for. In my case, since the driver was not expect...

California, here we come...

Image
Tomorrow morning, me and 3 of some of my favorite people will be roadtrippin' it down to the Golden State of California (specifically San Fran) for 3 days. We have no agenda really which is incredibly exciting. We see it as a ripe opportunity to be lead by the Spirit for a few days as we fellowship with people as well as enjoy each other AND God's creation. Ironically, though, it is supposed to be hotter here than it will be in San Francisco which is sort of counter-intuitive but as my dear friend Alexis says, "It's all good!"
