busy week...

While I procrastinate a little more...at 1:37am...

Thursday I went to Chicago with some friends. I got to hang out for quite a while with an amazing friend I met in Africa who just happens to live in Chicago. It was a great time and I am so thankful to have a friend who I connect with so well after knowing her just a short time. It was really really good. I was not ready to come home.

Then we went to a Missy Higgins concert. I don't expect you to know who that is, but I am still sad that you probably don't. Cuz you should know who that is. To summarize the concert in three sentences: best. concert. ever. =)

Friday I flew home and went to a Keith Urban/Carrie Underwood concert in Omaha. It was really good and I got to hang out with some more awesome friends.

Saturday I attempted to do homework. It did not go well. I have nothing else to say.

Sunday Rachel and I talked to the high schoolers at my church about our trip to Africa. I heard today that we did well. It was pretty cool.

Then we went to a Natalie Grant concert. I'm kind of a big fan of Natalie since senior year of high school. She's a Christian artist, for those who don't know. Anyway, it was cool to see her in concert.

Tonight I had a phone interview with the mom of a family I could potentially nanny for. I'll be going to their house sometime this weekend to meet them and their kids and just check it out. Tres cool. And I applied for tons of jobs today. All kinds of them in all different places. We'll see...

Tomorrow my 30-pager is due. Scary. I'm finishing it right now. Then early tomorrow morning I'll throw together the PowerPoint. And I'll totally improv the 20-minute oral presentation. Not like I haven't done it before---at least I'm going to class knowing there's an oral presentation...Anyway-that's at 4:30-5ish. Then I get to come home and research and write another paper that I haven't started yet. It's due Wednesday at noon. As well a couple chapters worth of homework and two article summaries. I'll be doing 3 oral presentations on Wednesday. At noon. That's a lot of talking for someone who probably doesn't say that many words in a typical day. Which probably explains why people are so surprised that I can whip out a 20 minute speech with no preparation. Someone told me once that I pack a punch. Don't really know what that means, but it's kinda cool.

Anyway, Wednesday at around 1-1:30 pm I'll be able to breathe again. I'm looking forward to it.
