    The weekend...ah : )

    The weekend ahead looks very promising! Georgia State National Fair tonight, AU vs. Florida tomorrow, and who knows what else. I am just glad to have a break from school. Relief! I love the atmosphere of the fair: the smell of the food, the music, the rides, even all of those "interesting.." people that usually attend. And actually, the only one I have really ever been to is the Peanut Festival, so this might be kind of different, which just makes me more excited about it. New experiences, I need to expose myself to those more often. Not that going to a fair is that much of a new experience, but it made me think of them.

    I loved Crusade last night. I always do, but it was an especially good topic. We just finished the sermon on the mount in Matthew, which we have been studying since the beginning of the school year, and last night we talked about being selfless - dying to self. This is one of those really hard things to do, for me, and I think for pretty much everyone. I mean even as I am typing this, I am thinking about ME, what do people think of ME that are reading this, how do I sound, how does this make ME look. We do a lot of things, so much we don't even realize, out of self-ambition, instead of just regarding others as more important than ourselves. People need people. We can't just keep holding on so tightly to the "my time", "my wants", "my routine", "my life". After all, it's not our own anyway. Don't mean to preach, just thought it was cool.

    I haven't seen a really good movie lately and I'm craving one very badly!

    i can have a title now? is this new?

    I just feel like writing. I don't feel like going to bed just yet. I am listening to one of my new musical loves, Ben Folds. I am also really into a new song by John Legend, called "Save Room". I am loving this year, it is so different than last year, which was good in it's own way, but I feel like I am growing a lot more this year. I don't feel like trying to impress anybody on this thing anymore (that goes for all internet sites: myspace, facebook...), which I think I tended to try to do a while ago.

    I went to this informational meeting/dinner last night at the art museum (it had nothing to do with art) about a new minor Auburn is offering in the business college called "Information Assurance". Riiight. I wasn't interested really, but I feel like I need more experience with professional events. I always get nervous about going to those kind of things. But, God provided me with one person to talk to the entire time so I wouldn't feel completely uncomfortable. After getting my name tag, I looked up and saw groups of people talking, who all looked like they knew what they were talking about, and I thought, "yay...." Then I saw a girl I recognized from my accounting class, and she was just delightful! I enjoyed talking to her so much. What I didn't enjoy was the actual meeting. It made me really question my major choice. No, I don't want to be an accountant. I am majoring in accounting, but I am not sure it is for me. Dad just says that if I get my degree, I have a lot of options careerwise and will most likely have the assurance of a job straight out of college. And, as I am saying quite a lot these days, law school is always rolling around in my mind. We will see, we will see, it's all in the plan. As for now, I am just enjoying school, loving getting to know people better, and every day is just like a new adventure! Semiformal is this weekend, and I am just going to go crazy on the dancefloor, because life is too short to settle for the awkward "yeahhh, i'm having fun! but not really..." standing on the side deal. Yes, I think I'll just embrace it.
