aleigh is watching SNL and every now and then bursts into loud fits of laughter. and according to my wellness for living class, i'm soon going to feel depressed from my abnormal circadium rhythm. maybe i should get a light box. damn the fact that i don't have class til' 10am, and i'm probably going to be asleep until 15 minutes before then, and Pedrito is leaving for Jamaica in the morning - and I asked him today if he'd fill out a recommendation for me to be a student missionary next year, which revealed that I'm not going to be able to work for him next year - he frowned and said he'd fill one out, but he'd give me a lousy one, so i'd have to stay at wwc, but I told him I'd miss him, and that I loved him and he grabbed me and hugged me, and it was my favorite part of the day - because Ellie and Emily laughed so loud, kept whacking the graying in his beard, saying they've never seen him have such a serious face. He calls me his daughter and every now and then, says some cheesy comment like: he can't start his day without my smile. Sometimes work can just be another thing on the long list of obligations. Some days...I love my job, the things that i do, and the people that work alongside me, + the person I do it all for. He says i'm going to come back from Africa and become a minister. I just want to work with the children, and make a few real connections. I'm a behind the scenes kind of girl. But I think that it carries just as much weight. we've all been given gifts, that are real and different and useful in their own way.
life just means so much! thank you jacob, for texting me this message this weekend. and thank you, for local organizations, like lifewater, one truth - who help me realize that life is so much bigger than myself - and that who knows what God has in store for me. life is an adventure. I want to be willing to let God take me to the ends of the earth if in His plan.
sorry for the lack of substance in recent posts. i can't guarantee it'll get much better.

now you know miss yeo
p.s. it's been fun seeing you on my study outings :)
its a long weekend. i am thoroughly looking forward to sleep, spending time with the sketchbook, and reading. but its only mid-week. aargh!
that office really has a great atmosphere. i went to be interviewed tuesday and the people are just cool. i think i spent more time laughing than actually answering questions.
adventure. i love it. the word conjures up pictures of lewis and clark, rifles, climbing mountains, safari hats, and uninteligible languages. i am pretty excited about next year. especially the part where God takes me on a crazy adventure. snap
but i gotta hit the hay.
pleasant thursday living, or happy thursday, if you prefer.
peas.
i forgot an apostrophe in the first word.
gosh. i hate that. a lot.
