5 more weeks of undergrad ahead...

current mood:


well, today i kiss reading week goodbye... i was blessed with 10 days away from waterpoo, but how fast time flies. it's now only a matter of time before march creeps its "spring-like" self upon us, which means 5 more weeks of school. HOLY MOLY where did the time go?!

just checked my exam schedule - i've managed to luck out with one exam. after april 9, it's pretty much "so long undergrad!". however, this kinda dampens my plans on participating in the 30hr famine with my youth group... unless of course i just grin and bear with the hunger pains while writing about the hebrew prophets and their significance to biblical history - perhaps i'll be needing some divine intervention? :oP *sigh* but even with the simple joy of having just one exam to prepare for, there's still a whole bunch of other shtuff i gotta cram in before march 31, including class seminars, more fiction writing and editing, over 5000 words of essay-delight, sermon and church camp planning, and a whole lot more...

but on a brighter note, i received an e-mail from the head director at ViUS - the teacher-recruiters that looked after me in vietnam last fall. looks like in 2006 it'll be vietnam part deux from january to august pour moi. i'm quite excited! :oD

so this is what i have lined up for me in the next few months:

• march: muster up all my remaining energy and finish 4B
  
• april: write that sucker of an exam on the 9th and then speed off to moffat to join the rest of the hfbc youth for the 30hr famine, goof around in waterloo for a week or so (just because i can), and possibly fit in some weekend visiting plans to kingston and michigan in my not-so-busy-anymore schedule
  
• may: a little unwinding, a little chillin', turning into veggie tale status and being a pirate who doesn't do anything, except for a 1-2 week road-trip to the maritime provinces avec erin :o)
  
• june: attend convocation (cuz mommy and daddy say i have to!); plan, plan, and plan some more for our church family camp in july
  
• july: church family camp from the 15th-17th, followed by an adventurous trip to the PHILIPPINES starting on the 23rd
  
• august: come back nicely tanned and stress-free (and hopefully still single? lol) from the philppines on the 21st, send jandrew off to saginaw valley in michigan for university
  
• september: find a decent part-time/full-time job that i can occupy myself with until december - or at least long enough for me to get enough money for january and to pay off usual expenses
  
• october: hopefully still at the same part-time job i got in september
  
• november: hopefully still working...
  
• december: quitting my job gracefully, applying for teachers college or possibly a masters in education (?!), attending the joshua revolution 2005 conference with my youth group and chaperoning the younger folk
  
• january 2006: pack up my bags for yet nother teaching adventure in vietnam for at least 7 months
  

whew! dang. of course, somewhere in between i plan to make room for a whole bunch of chillin' like a villain and catching up on my sleep :o)

sumpin' tells me that these next 5 weeks are going to go by pretty quickly. and considering that reading and writing weren't much of an option this past week, and also realizing that i have another essay due tomorrow, back to the grind-stone i go!
