My hometown Youth for Christ organization asked me to create a graphic for their new building, called “Crosswalk”. They wanted something that was more of the intersection crosswalk, than overtly Christian but also hoped a cross could be incorporated. I came up with the graphic you see on the building. One is facing the highway and the other is facing the parking lot. A few volunteers painted it by hand this weekend, and did an excellent job if I do say so myself.
Phew! I just barely made this post before a month had past since my last one. I don’t want to turn into a Debra or Jackie. I also avoided being pruned!
Well, as most of you know, I’m home from camp. There’s still another 5ish weeks left of camp…but alas, I will not be there. I got back on June 30th. That Monday, I started class and went back to work.
I’m taking Zoology this summer. We have 19 class periods that run from 8-12 every day. So one day is pretty much equivalent to one week in a normal semester. I hate science, but I really enjoy this because when we talk about boring or gross stuff (like protozoans or parasites), I only have to bear it for a day. We have our first test tomorrow. I’m feeling pretty confident about it.
Today we dissected our first organism. A roundworm. SICK. Its insides reminded me of ramen noodles. SICK!
It’s been eventful since the last time I posted.
Yes, it’s quite busy on the Madison front. But at the same time, I’m often bored. Come visit!
Maybe I’m the only one who does this…but I’d like to think I’m not. It seems that every time I travel back home, I am back to my old habits. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s just that these habits have since disappeared while being away at camp in the summers and college. Here’s a few to further my point:
Well, I’m home for Easter break and it’s below freezing with the wind. My parents are on vacation right now…in 87 degree weather. They were supposed to go a few weeks ago, but got blizzarded out.
I’m in the house alone, because Marissa went riding around and I am a scaredy-cat. The washing machine was unbalanced and making loud noises. It sounded like a monster.
On the bright side, here’s my dad playing Guitar Hero!
Tomorrow, I’m hosting a bridal shower for my future sister-in-law, Cari. It should be pretty fun, but has been a lot more work and money than I expected. The theme is Around the Clock, where each guest is given a time of day and are to buy a gift fitting for that time. Example: if you had 6:00PM, you’d probably give some sort of gift that has to do with cooking. Get it?!
Sunday, Marissa and I are going to church and then going to Sioux City with grandma and grandpa to meet up with other family for lunch. Then on Monday, I’m stopping in Sioux Falls on my way back to Madison and then my break is over…!
I’m bored. I have been for a lot of the break. I’ve played at least 10 games of solitaire every day that I’ve been home. And I’ve still done some productive things, too. Over break, I have:
Here are the before and after pictures of the room.
It doesn’t look like much of a change, but trust me - it is. It began as a bright yellow that didn’t cover the walls very well. When I was done, it was a carmel/latte color on three walls with a “Lucky Penny” color as an accent wall. The picture doesn’t do it justice. Also, disregard the bedspread and curtains. They will be replaced to match the rest of the room.
I will return to Madison tomorrow. School does not start until the 17th, but I’ve got plenty of things to do in the mean time, plus RA responsibilities. Sorry that it’s taken so long for me to post!
