Squeaky clean

Hello one and all!

Well, let's see...a lot has been going on. Besides classes and whatnot, I am in the process of organizing a t-shirt order for YES. My visit from my mom was a great time this past week. :-)

I just took a seat on my couch, still wrapped up in my towel from my recent shower. I'm home alone this weekend as all my roommates have gone home for Easter break. It's been an interesting time. Let me just say this: I don't do well when I'm alone.

I know beyond a doubt that God has created me as a tremendous extrovert. I have realized over the past year that my desire, dare I say need, to be with others almost constantly is not immature, nor is it a sign of lack of faith. Two years ago, I was led to believe that this was the case by a certain someone in my life, and that the loneliness I felt when I was not with other people was very unhealthy. My extroversion is a gift. Fellowship with other believers is a gift. When I am without people, I can't concentrate and I get anxious. My difficulties in being alone point out to me all the more how much my personal need for community is tied into how I relate best with God.

In light of this realization, I am a little worried. Yes, I know I shouldn't worry or be anxious in anything. But I am a sinner, and that is that. So anyway, I am a little worried about my housing situation when I return from Spain. None of my friends will be on campus, and a good number of them will be married. It is hard to find a living situation off-campus mid-year. I could live on campus, but that comes with a few complications as well. It would likely be difficult to get into the apartments in January, unless I find someone who will be leaving or who will have an extra spot available. I could fairly easily get into the dorms, but I would really only want to live in Pickitt, and I don't really want to live there that badly. And living on campus is more expensive than living off campus, but if I live off campus I would need to make sure I had a reliable car, plus I would have to pay for more gas and more groceries than if I live on-campus. Oh, Mylanta, this is complicated!! I think I will probably just live on campus when I return from Spain, but where or with who I don't know, and that bothers me. The end.

I think I will go get dressed now! Adios!
