…until you take the first step, as they say. Well, I took a step… and I didn’t fall! I got accepted to the Oklahoma Baptist University, and things are looking up! I’ll have to go in and meet with the financial aid people to see what they can do to help me, and I’ll try and get scholarships to cover the rest.
That’s pretty much my chance of college. My family lives, quite literally, day to day money-wise… I can’t expect them to help me with college at all. So keep praying for me, guys, because I really want to be in college next fall!
Today I:
Pray, guys, pray. I kind of lose my car if I don’t have something going for me by Friday. Pray hard.
I’m a happy camper. I have a new theme that I actually like [HECK no I did not code it, it's totally by Beccary], and so it’s going to stay for quite some time.
No services for me last night because of lack of gas money, and so we had shabbat at home. Dad actually went freestyle on all of the family blessings and ending up crying halfway through. It was very peaceful and very different, being a planned home sabbath instead of a “we’re not going at the last moment” sabbath. We got out the good plates and had a nice dinner and then we had a torah study afterward.
Very, very nice.
OH! Camp Yeshua has been announced, so head over to the Lion & Lamb site and sign up! You must. I’ll be there, junior staff this year. Though I think we’re the sole kitchen cleaners again this year, hey, it’s camp and it’s worth it.
And on other notes, I have chapter four completed. I’ll see if I can upload it directly on here [the new wordpress rocks]. If not, you’ll see it soon enough, because I’m working on a Wordfolio subdomain that has just writing. It’s up but not up, if you know what I mean. > Seasons: Chapter Four
And my anonymous commenter who has not commented in a while: this is an official note that you do indeed hit “leave a comment” or “# comments” to leave a comment. Love you!
So, the day that Narnia came out on video, we went and saw it in the theaters. Story of my life, really… wait until something comes to the dollar theater! I don’t mind… it was really good. I mean, I thought they were going to butcher it, but they didn’t, so I was impressed.
A week from now, I’m going to be finally performing those two dances for passover. I’m kind of nervous, and not because I’m afraid of messing up the dance or anything, but because we haven’t completely finished choreography for Redeemer, and Jessica won’t be there on Friday to help us finish. We’ll have to finish without her. I don’t know how we’re going to do it.
I’ve been graphically exhausted recently… no inspiration for anything. Thankfully, there will be a giving thread on my favorite forum, and so it will force me into making things. This is a good thing. Especially how I’m helping Jessyca get her site redesigned, and I must say, I like the design. Shh, she can’t see it yet!
Other than that, same old, same old.
I’ve thrown away
so many things that could’ve been much more
and I just pray
my problems go away if they’re ignored
but that’s not the way it works
no that’s not the way it works
Guys, you need to yell at me! I need to get back into this. BIGTIME.
Boring Internet Updates: I took off two of the CYF themes that nobody (not even ME) used, and added another, really pretty one and set it as the default. And I’m working on a subdomain that’s actually going to be a writing porfolio, instead of having separate ones for separate things.
Semi-Interesting Life Updates: n/a. HAHA, just kidding. Actually, the thing right now is still the passover dances. Only the three of us in my family that are dancing are going to the community seder, because the elders of my congregation very obviously do not have children under thirty, and they don’t realize that a four or five hour seder starting at seven or eight at night, with small children, is a recipe for disaster. But our home seder is the night before, so it’s fine.
Tomorrow: dance practice at the Dupler’s house. The next day? Only time will tell.
Random Update: I’m learning how to make music videos from DVD’s from a friend of mine, and so I’m teaching myself to use Windows Movie Maker. Well, I can use it now but I’m not the greatest at it, but as soon as I have the video uploaded I shall post it. It’s a Dance video, taking clips from old camp CD’s, and set to music. Kind of lame, but thoroughly satisfying for ME anyhow.
