Missing Guatemala

…this will be short. my health book is staring at me beckoningly (actually the thought of my midterm sunday is what’s really beckoning) …

as the title suggests, i am indeed in a pining state, for “native” Guatemala. i met a new co-worker today who has a good friend from Guatemala and my first thought was “una Guatemalteca? i want to meet her!” maybe it’s the weather, it’s so cold and windy/chilly here and it’s been a little annoying around campus because of that. or maybe it’s that everything’s been steady and vaguely familiar for a little too long, and i just want a change of pace. then again, i’m content here, just a teeny bit of me wants to be there…. i don’t know what it is. probably more the idea of Guatemala than anything, but some days i could just pack up and leave it all behind! no plans for that happening, but you’ll hear about it if anything surfaces.

as stated moments ago, my health book is staring me down. i must attend to it’s reading. if you think of Guatemala, think fondly people: it’s amazing!

:: estudiar a español es la vida maja - así es la vida yo he escogido. ::

sí, una mas semana ha venido a nuestros brazos. y por que? que podemos hacer con siete días, veinte-cuatro horas en cada uno, sesenta minutos en cada hora . . . hay cosas por nosotros hacer.

por mí, es estudiar a español, la salud, y la comunicación; gozarme con mi familia y amigos, trabajar muy duro y servir como si yo estoy sirviendo a Jesucristo. yo deseo que mis días podrían estar llenados con viajes misioneros, pocos preocupaciones, mucho sueño, y otras cosas mismas . . . pero esta es la época que estoy en, y este tiempo tiene valor porque hay cosas que Dios quiere hacer en mí y (quizá!) con mi vida.

aquí son solas muy pocas cosas que yo estoy pensando de, yo no tengo tiempo escribir todas, pero necesito mucho practicar las estrategias que estoy aprendiendo.

100th post . . . i wish it were special-er

well well well what do we have here. ? . huh.

my afternoon activity got canceled, so now i am slowly drifting into a state of calm relaxedness. . . helped there by low responsibility and a warm blanket.

So yup, this is the 100th post as a blogger here on, well, Blogger. how ironic. 100 times i have typed out words on this site, more for my own remembrance than for the sake of people wanting to read. but i've really enjoyed this blog, and maybe someday it will be on the Lord's heart for me to write more. if not, then what you've seen is what you'll get: random posts.

i guess i missed the new year mark, so happy new year everyone! i'm back in school, studying spanish and enjoying the college life again. somehow this quarter just feels so easy, i'm hoping that it doesn't come crashing down around me. yesterday was the first spanish test, i think that it went well....we'll see next wednesday. exciting-ness: no school monday! happy MLK day!

monday is also the first culture day at pediatric associates (the office), i'm really excited. i'm thinking i'll do some sort of eastern european country and make a sweet neon poster with cool pictures on it. it's taking me back to my homeschool-ed youth.

tomorrow another settlers night. yippee!

wow. i really have nothing to say.

going on a date with Jesus saturday, to do something that He is passionate about . . . i'm so stoked. i've loved the idea of going on dates with Jesus for some time, but it's normally things like walking and coffee shops, things that i like to do. but it seems only fair and right to investigate the passions of the one i love. so the small group is going with the vineyard downtown to visit some awesome people who live in the parks in columbus. the least of these? it could be Jesus underneath that bridge. in the words of Mike White (who is indeed a delight), hug God's kids! i don't know if physically i'll have the honor of hugging someone saturday night, but to spend time with Jesus and some people that He really genuinely loves like crazy, that itself is breathtakingly exciting! i don't have any more words about that.

so, until something strikes the mind! have a great great great thursday night!!!
