More days I should have posted....

Day 267 (Tuesday)
The clog issue was resolved... I had to deal with flushing it because it was too traumatic for my suite mates. I say this in jest, but it's partially true. Although, one of them did squash a spider for me because I simply cannot handle that.

Day 268 (Wednesday)
I worked in the Writing Center and worked on my first response to someone's paper! It was exciting, and fun to give in that way. There was a birthday bash! That was fun!

Day 269 (Thursday)
I gave two speeches this day. I was able to give people more knowledge about detasseling and also Mormon's view of death. (Don't worry, these were not for the same class.)

Day 270 (Friday)
Writing Consortium day. I went as a writing tutor because Patrick, my boss, asked if we wanted to go. Two of us did. It was fun. I also had to drive home that afternoon to be a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding at home. I got there to find a lot of things left undone. I spent the rest of the day getting the chapel ready for the wedding.

Day 271 (Saturday)
Wedding day. Oh man. So much giving--of time, emotional support, patience, the list could go on.

Day 272 (Sunday)
My Oma bought a bag from me. This isn't really, technically, giving.
I also worked in the Writing Center again.

Day 273 (Monday)
Writing Workshop day with my two attendees. It was another good day. I'm blown away by the feeling of "teaching" and cannot wait to do this everyday.
Also watched Castle with a friend and afterwards acted as a sound board for her. It's a rough part of the semester.

Day 274 (Tuesday)
I did a lot of things at work, which isn't really giving, except that I stayed late for a prof just so he would have his handouts on time.
Drove some friends to Walmart.

Day 275 (Wednesday/Today)
So much...that I can't talk about. So, just know that sometimes friends trust you with things that they're not ready for the world to know.
Also asked the Walmart Lady how she was...and got a very depressing answer. So much hurt in this world.

God Bless!

Day 266

We've had some drama related to a clog in our bathroom. Girls don't handle clogs well. (At least not these girls.) I'm not going to go into details here, for your sake, but know that there was giving.

Today was the first day of my Writing Workshop. Giving a safe place, an open ear, and a willing heart. And cookies. But they're not as profound.

God Bless!

Days 264 and 265

Day 264:
I spent most of the day by myself getting stuff done--which was good. I also chilled out with Heather and Heidi after midnight, which was therapeutic for all parties.

Day 265:
I worked in the writing center today and helped my coworkers get the computer stuff figured out. There was other stuff too, but I'm tired. And need some more sleep. Yeah.

God Bless!

Day 263

I held the door for some girls I didn't know today. (Although, that was kind of accidental and not necessarily intentional.)

At lunch, a friend was sitting by himself at a "date-table." When I stopped to say "hi" as I was walking by, he mentioned that he was hoping someone would sit with him. I already had a seat with some friends. So I told him he should join us. He was reluctant, but finally sat with us at a bigger table.

God Bless!

A lot of days I should have already posted about...

Day 249 (Friday)
Day 250 (Saturday)
Day 251 (Sunday)
Day 252 (Monday)
Day 253 (Tuesday)
Day 254 (Wednesday)
Day 255 (Thursday)
Day 256 (Friday)
Day 257 (Saturday)
Day 258 (Sunday)
Day 259 (Monday)
Day 260 (Tuesday)
Day 261 (Wednesday)
Day 262 (Thursday--Today)

Do you see all of those days? Those are days that I can't really remember much about. I've lapsed. Not in the giving, I still believe I'm giving daily--or trying to--but I've lapsed in posting, and therefore remembering. I barely remember today.

For this I must apologize. I promise to get back into the swing of things. This semester is just proving to be more insane than I thought it would be.

I will say this, I need to start being more gracious and forgiving when people do things that hurt me.

You'll just have to imagine the things I did in the last two weeks. I'll be better about this in the future.

Love all you readers! (Teagan, you're the only one subscribed, but my roommate has been bugging me all week to post again.)

God Bless!

Days 244, 245, 246, 247, and 248

Day 244 (Sunday):
This feels like forever ago now. I really need to get back in the habit of doing this daily instead of weekly--it would be easier.

I called 911 because some cows were out of their pen and really close to the highway. It was my civic duty.

Day 245 (Monday):
I'm blanking out on this day. I don't remember much of anything from this day. Oh! I stayed up late and wrote thank you cards for my scholarship donors.

Day 246 (Tuesday):
I was walking to class and saw a girl in my class whom I'm not terribly close with, but I read on her blog that she was struggling with trust. And I felt that I needed to give her a hug. (Weird, right? Me? Hug someone? Psh. Never.) It was good though, she thanked me for the hug and we talked for a little bit about various things.
Night class. An encouraging email to a friend. You can do this.

Day 247 (Wednesday):
I stayed up way too late talking to some friends about love and life. (Among other things.) It's amazing how funny things become after 2am. So much laughter. And laughter is a precious gift.

Day 248 (Thursday):
I tried to give a cashier a dime at Walmart. I needed to give him another whole dollar. And apparently he didn't want the dime. (This is just an example of my poor reading skills. ha.)

But seriously, today I gave some friends this sparkling water stuff that I didn't like. They liked it better than I did, so I gave it to them.

And I spent some time with another friend talking about what was going on in her life and in my Death and Dying class. (Big contrast, let me tell you.)

God Bless!
