God has been gracious...

i feel like the Holy Spirit has been good to tell me stuff before it happens. not so much in a fortune-telling way, but in a "this is a possibility i must deal with emotionally" kind of way. i can think of 2 instances recently where it has been good to think things through the day before they became realities. it's good that i don't have to freak out in front of people that way. ;-) in college, i had a friend who would dream about things in much the same way.

i have a french test today. i am delaying studying for it by writing here. eek.

i went camping this weekend! finally! neal and i decided we were going to go and invited anyone who wanted to come along. we had 14!! only 9 stayed the night, and 4 of those were a surprise, but it was good fun. the hot dogs and s'mores were awesome, canoing was fun, and the weather couldn't have been better. yay!!

i'm leaving next week for new england/montreal! as it turns out, i'll be going by myself, so plans may change... i'm not sure if montreal really will be on my itinerary or not. i'm not sure if i can afford an almost 2-week trip on my own. but i'm so excited!!

yup, still avoiding french. ugh.

i realized the other day how much i really do enjoy my job. i thought business was going down and getting slower, but as it turns out, i'm getting better!! when we're busy, it doesn't seem like it, and it doesn't stress me out anymore. and it's more fun as i get to know my coworkers better, too. one of our regulars asked me if i'm always in a good mood, and i thought about it - i just like what i do. some days it stinks. and i get tired of opening, but it's all good in the. it turns out i'm working 38 hrs this week, so we'll see if i still say the same thing by saturday afternoon! (i usually work 25-30).
