That sounds great, Kaida. :D It's definitely a good sign when you don't mind the end of your Christmas break!

I had a busy but overall good day, and then a wonderful evening with the ladies in my Bible study group. :D We had a big answered prayer to be thankful for. It's great to have those reminders that we serve a great God!

It really is! =D

Today was a hard day, but there were some good in it too. Either way, "This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it."

I'm exhausted though. I need a nap. =p

I've decided to pop back in for a bit, who knows how long this will last, I'm not known for being consistent. Anyways, I'm in high school now, stressed out but surviving. Life is okay, I had a snow day day today, which was amazing. I actually joined a SPORT this year, cross country, which was great and horrible. I met some amazing people, made some great yet unexpected friends. I improved my fitness a bit. The team was really laid back and friendly, and the coaches are pretty chill. It's killer, and hurts like heck, but the people and the snacks (and the Chinese buffet at the end) made up for it. I'll probably do it again next year. So yeah, things are fine. Hope everyone is doing well around here!

Hey Joy, it's great to see you posting again! Cross country sounds like a lot of work, but it sounds like it's been worth it for you. :D

I had a full day with work and then a meeting after work. It wasn't a bad day, just a full one! It's amazing how the evenings fill up with this or that. (Yes, I sound like an old person. That's because I am one.) ;)

I had some outdoor fun time today! It was a chilly day, but I just bought new ski pants and a jacket to match (since my usual winter jacket is nice, but not great for playing outside) so I was nice and toasty warm! The coldest part of me was my nose.

I had a better day until the evening meeting I was attending went more than an hour past the listed end time. :mad: I finally left before it ended because I had to be somewhere else before they closed, and I just barely made it as it was. Oh well. If that was the worst thing that happened to me, it was still a pretty good day. ;) I just hate leaving early, but sadly, I can only be in one place at a time, no matter how much I wish for magical powers. :(

*pats Catspaw*

One of my profs assigned a presentation as the first project of the semester D: I had to present today and it didn't go as bad as I thought. I prayed that morning, on the way to school, and right before I started speaking. I went pretty rapidly with it but that's because my prof only wanted us to take 7 minutes. =p We still went over time because I was presenting with two other guys and they went somewhat slow on their parts. I think still went great. :)

Today went pretty well... Til towards the end of school. Most of my students were really hyper today and some were tired and cold. And then some drama happened during the last class.. sigh. But we were able to pray about it so that was nice. I'm crazy tired now though. I still need to look up some ideas for a class or two. I hope I stay awake long enough to do that.

But I still liked today. A lot of nice things happened even if there was some drama at the end.

Drama happens. ;) I'm guessing that you're at a Christian school if you can pray about stuff as a class?

I had a great morning at church, first attending the service and then helping with the three-year-olds. Never a dull moment there. ;) I spent a bit of time with two little girls who are cousins and normally get along very well, but today they both desperately wanted to hold the same doll and were having trouble sorting out how to share. ;) Sharing is tough stuff!
