The Final Stretch

Please forgive my absence this past weekend. I was in San Clemente with my Bible study, on our annual retreat. Did I go to the beach? No. Did I hang out outside and run around? No. Did I retreat? Yes. Did I love my time there? Absolutely.

This year's theme centered around the local church - how we fit in, why we do, what happens if we don't do our jobs, etc. It was refreshing to be re-introduced to this topic. We had 31 GOC-ers crammed into a house and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

At the present, I'm just organizing my room/school stuff. I'm pretty exhausted from the weekend, so I neglected going to the gym this morning. (womp womp) But in other exciting news, I bought myself a 5 cup coffeemaker with an auto-program option. THAT means that I can program it to make coffee and when I wake up, it'll magically be ready! That also indicates that I won't be buying coffee - therefore saving myself some serious cash.

But all of that is superfluous compared to the fact that I start classes on thursday. I'm anticipating work up to my ears on the first day. It's not that I'm lazy, I just like to know/have expectations for what lies ahead of me. So.... I have all of my books, all of my supplies, all of my pens/pencils/etc. I'm in the gate and ready to go.

Ready, get set...
