We've had some excitement the last week, I'd say.
First, I've almost completely finished the lecture for one of my classes... THAT, my friends, is what we call "front-loading" a course. The first two weeks of a nine week summer intensive... lecture = finished. Now all that awaits are my labs, due July 2nd, and one credit will be behind me. =)
Wednesday, I celebrated a quarter of a century of life. Thank you to those of you who sent cards, called, texted, or emailed. =)
Thursday, during my very last class of the day: Ethnographic Methods, the tornado sirens went off and we all stepped outside our "basement level" classroom and congregated in the hallway where we finished up the lecture. An hour and a half later, we were given the all-clear and walked to supper under a beautiful, clear blue, cloudless sky. North Dakota weather = odd & spastic.
Friday evening we put on the returning students' "Skit Night" which was themed after High School Musical and re-written with ridiculously nerdy linguistic-y words. If I hadn't been in the final scene, I'd have video-ed it for ya'll to enjoy... alas. But fun.
Thank you all for your prayers, little notes here and there, and encouragement! The stress level is surprisingly low despite a busy schedule. I'm thankful.
Enjoying Oswald Chambers' "My Utmost for His Highest" devotional lately... longing for a steadfast heart and a calm, confident spirit. Feeling His arms around, even in my weakness and insufficiencies. His constant love is a beautiful thing.
