Hey! So this is my latest:
i'm in Cali and i'm kinda bored. But everyone here is doing finals and getting ready to go and i understand all that. but i kinda feel cheated. like, i'm in CALIFORNIA! and i'm on campus everyday. let me explain campus, three buildings: two dorms (boys and girls, apt style) and an ac building that has two classrooms, two offices, a small chapel, library, and a lounge with a kitchen, complete with a field that makes me feel like I'm in the Lion King, and a parking lot in between the dorms and the school. sometimes people are generous and they let me tag along to trips into town. but yeah, so i feel kinda stupid for being here because i'm not doing a whole lot. but...on the other hand i am getting quite a bit of reading done, i've been reading the Bible everyday, my devos are getting done, and i think i'm warding off my hayfever by relentlessly being outside and next to windows! hah, that'll teach my allergies...hmm..anyway...so i am learning to see the bright side of things and to make the best of it here. i don't want to be a whiny baby and make a big deal out of things. i want to make the most of this that i can, because it may never happen again... but for a few minutes everyday i am kinda stupid. than i remind myself that it doesn't get any better than this. all those times when i was at school and wanted to be that person with nothing to do so that i could read or spend time with God, hey that's me now! so i remind myself of that and get peppy and happy again. and i understand what it's like to try and finish in the last week, trying to get packing, cleaning, finals, studying, papers, friend-time, next year plans, summer plans, job stuff, travel plans, and so on, all finished in the last week. (writing that out makes me feel like a louse while i sit here and complain about not going anywhere.) so even though there's not alot to do on campus, there is alot to do...if that makes any sense. i like it here. i have fallen in love with california and the people here are so great and God-filled and crazy. it is funny to hear what they think about canada though...=) just thought i would throw that in there. i am learning so much. about who i am, what i want to do, what God wants me to do, how to relax, how to grow up, how to be that P31 woman, and so forth. God is so good, so good.
on another note: i am now looking at another school...San Francisco Culinary Institute...yes, i may be going to school in cali next fall! MRR! anywho...yeah...today......(those dots...are so in...) Mrr! please pray for me. i don't as of yet have a peace about the Chicago CulinaryInstitute, we'll find out about that school on may 11th when i have my meeting...
Stats on the schools: SF: 7 1/2 months= certificate and possible job, in Cali, def. not living at home, guy called me until he got ahold of me, explained about school and what they're looking for in a student, sent me an info packet, complete with video, overnight express, made a phone date to call me again, was patient as i asked questions...
: C: 15 months = degree and job, in Chicago, not sure about living at home, guy really just sounded like he wanted me at the school....?, but was really nice and answered my questions...
yeah, so that's the dillio right now...i really like the peeps here...but if you remeber me...please pray that i am in God's will whatever i do. Oh, that's so important! mrr! i love and miss y'all! keep in touch!

sooo, what do they think of Canada? (I'm curious) and already am praying for you!
and in Chicago they can guarantee you a job but in Cali they can't?
