For the past couple of weeks, I have been feeling like Linus... after someone took my blanket away.
Having a plan, having a major in school, is such a security item for me.
It makes me feel safe, gives me status.
And now, I don't have one.
I am realizing that I hate being in school. Don't get me wrong, I love to learn. But school...eugh. I have no joy, passion, or energy for it. I do it because it's work.
Is it wrong to quit, despite all of the benefits of school/degree, if I have no desire, passion, or interest in spending that much money, time, and energy on it?
At the worst, I feel stuck, directionless, unsafe.
At the best, I know that I am not an incomplete person. I will find my direction, and I am not going to settle for something that I hate. I know that I have a purpose, and will find out how to apply what gives me joy to my life.

Maybe the Swede's really do do it better...
I can't stop listening to Cloud 8's album "The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Dreaming." It's like aloe vera for the soul! It is the perfect album for driving through the countryside, or curling your hair, or making breakfast.
Speaking of food, I made a delicious, recipe-less dinner earlier this week!
*Roasted Rosemary Red Potatoes (rrrrr!)
*Lemon-Basil Chicken
*Greens with Cherry Tomatoes and Caesar dressing
Oh happy Friday :)
This weekend will include:
Making tasty coffee drinks for thirsty people,
Delicious vegetarian dinner at Nearly Normal's with my old roommate Laura,
Spending time with Tribe,
Playing indoor soccer!,
Hopefully seeing my family.

There is nothing more exhilarating, more freeing and more natural than being able to be yourself. When you can laugh with possibility of snorting, cry with a chance of getting all drippy around the nose, speak freely and openly, express your opinions and expose your deepest heart cries with never once having to filter a single thing because you know that you are fully received--it is then that you are able to experience a huge, integral part of God's heart of love, grace and freedom. - Elizabeth Pham

First Blog Post!
It's the first day of spring term, and the weather has been very discouraging.
10 mile an hour wind gusts, a chance of thunderstorms and 100% precipitation all day!
Ugh.
The only place I want to be is in my cozy bed.
