living life

I just got off the "skype" with my friend Jesse who's studying abroad in Japan this semester and next. It was so good to talk to her, and so weird at the same time because we are totally on the opposite sides of the Earth. It was very encouraging because I can sometimes get caught up in my own little world...here in Greensboro. It made me reflect on my time in Spain this summer, which is always good because I don't ever want that time to be something I blow off and forget. Thank you Jesse for showing me your side of the world. We're so small, our world's so big, but God's even bigger and He is always with us. Isn't it cool that He is so big He holds the universe, but so intimate that He knows the hearts of each and everyone of us?

Update: I'M GOING TO COSTA RICA THIS SUMMER! I got accepted into the biology course! We will be spending about 10 days in Costa Rica at a field station with the Sea Turtles down there! I'm so excited! Spring semester we will be taking field trips to Topsail Island and the North Carolina coast to help at the rehabilitation hospital there. I can't wait!

Pretty much everything in my life is due on Friday, so I have tons and tons of work to do this week. Last day of classes is next Monday, so we're almost finished! I just have to do a lot of work and concentrate on doing really well. Wish me luck!
