Let's see here, Saturday I posted. I didn't feel good at all. I think I watched Dinner for Schmucks with my mom. It was actually pretty much. Sunday, I still didn't feel good. I slept a lot. Oh, and I started reading Redeeming Love! It's been really good so far. It's about a christian novel written by Francine Rivers. It's about a girl who is a prostitute and this man who feels God calling him to marry her. I've been told that I need to read it by a million people, so I'm glad I'm finally getting around to it. Later that night I watched Social Network with my mom, sister, and her friend Bailey. Today I didn't do much of anything either. As soon as I woke up this morning I bought my books for school and printed off my lectures from Stat and Chem. That was pretty depressing. Then I watched Knocked Up. I know, sounds terrible, but I am OBSESSED with Katherine Heigl. No joke. I love her. So I really had to watch it. It was cute. Not as bad as it sounds. Later, my sister and I played Just Dance 2. If you've never played....you should! Asap! It's so much fun. It's a pretty good workout too. Not only from dancing, but from laughing :) When my mom got home she asked if I wanted to go to the tanning bed. I'd been turning it down for a while, but I finally gave in today. I'm trying not to go as much as I have been in the past years. I usually tan a lot before prom and such, but since I have nothing to be tan for I'm not going to go as often. I really do love to tan though. It's relaxing. After we tanned, we went to this place called I Do Weddings. No, I'm get married. They also sell prom dresses and such, and since my sister is going to 8th grade dance this year, she's starting to look for a dress. I'm super pumped about this. I've been waiting for this day since I can remember. Okay okay, not that long, but I'm still excited to help her shop for dresses and shoes and jewelry. Once we left the shop we went to get chinese. Went back home, ate, showered, and then headed back to the dorm. So here I am, in my box, watching The Bachelor. Speaking of.....
Who doesn't love this show? I mean yeah, I hate the concept, and it usually never works out in the end, but it's so addicting. My young life leader told me about this website a year or two ago called Reality Steve. Basically, he knows everything about all the reality shows. Like who wins. So yeah, I kind of already know. I can't help it. I can't wait til the end! So I would suggest not reading it if you're one of those people who doesn't like to find out until the last episode. And don't worry, I won't spill anything on here. But I really do love the show.
This is totally random but I am SO excited for Quest this week. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, Quest is a program for people who are interested in becoming high school young life leaders. It is help just like a normal young life would be, it's just for college students. Well the reason I'm so excited is because this semester we spend every Wednesday night training to become a leader. And I could not be any more excited! I have known that I want to be a young life leader basically since I met my high school young life leader, Steph. She is the most christ-like, dependable, caring, loving, beautiful person I have ever met in my whole entire life. To be a high schooler and meet a college student who WANTS to spend time with me and tell me about Jesus and how much he loves me is the GREATEST thing ever. I've learned so much from her, and I still am. Fortunately she's still my small group leader. So I get to spend every Monday with her learning about Jesus and sharing my heart with her. I remember the first time I ever met Steph. She came to a lunch at Central, which is where I went to high school, and she came up to the table I was eating at and just started chatting with us like she had known us our whole life. I thought she was the weirdest person ever. I mean I was a sophomore, so I thought I was too cool for school. Not only was she chatting with us like nobody's business, but she asked me to go to a Smokey's Baseball game with her. Uh...no?? Why would I want to hang out with some college kid I don't even know. And better yet, why would SHE want to hang out with ME? I just thought it was really strange. Not to mention, what would I tell my mom? Oh hey mom I'm going to a Smokey's game with this girl who goes to UT that I met once. I can't imagine that would have gone over very well. Well, I kept seeing this Steph character around school more and more. She was even coming to our cheerleading practices. So I talked to her more and more and more...and voila! Now 3+ years later we're closer than ever. Like I said before, she's one of the greatest girls I've ever met. I've learned so much from her and I don't think I could ever thank her enough for being there for me as just as she has been. Being a young life leader is such a passion of mine for this very reason. I hope I can be half as great of a leader to high school girls as Steph was to me. Also, one night at Sharp Top when I was there a week of so ago we had a Q&A session with girls who are leaders. We got to write down anonymous questions about being a leader and they answered them for us. It was so inspiring and it made me even more excited to get the show on the road. I'm just so glad that I found Jesus and that I get the chance to share Jesus with high school girls.
Well, unfortunately, I have school. So I should probably start getting ready for bed. Sorry for chatting so much.
If you really knew me you would know that I love going to the dentist.
