Busy Weekend

Busy weekend! I had work Friday morning, then I had to prepare myself for the Nike+Human Race at midnight. After 1 hour and 20 minutes (just about), Noreen and I finished. Success. We met up with our carpool buddies, Krissa, Kuya Joem, and Steven, and Julius and Lani. Peniel met us up for a bit, too. It was a wonderful time running the streets of L.A. at midnight.

Later that day, I went to work. Yay. When I got home, I had to study for my midterm that had to be taken and finished by Sunday. Done.

Sunday, the Lord's day, my family and I went to church. A lovely sermon about the importance of the family's role in church and Christian living was preached. As the doors of our house were unlocked, I raced to my room to handle this midterm. 12 out of 15--not bad. My dad was super excited for me to hop on and try his newly used ATC--is that what its called? Anyway, it's some three-wheeled, off-roading type vehicle that is usually ridden in the dirt. F-U-N. Then it was off to the Land of Disney with the Mom and the Mitch. They were sick, but I don't know what happened when I mentioned Disneyland. We had a good time, like always.

After all this, I realized I forgot to do one measly assignment that was due earlier today. Regardless, I feel accomplished. What's another 10 points, right?

Finally

I am finally registered for the Nike+Human Race--Oct. 24--and the Surf City (Half)Marathon--Feb. 07. They are all for good causes. Nike will donate $5 of each registered runner to A Better LA. Surf City (Half)Marathon will be run on behalf of Faith Community Church. Their purpose is to raise awareness and support for Project Greece--it is a missionary project set in Greece to put an end to human trafficking.

Please contact me for any support you are able to give towards Project Greece. Thank you! Much love to you!

OH! And did I mention that the sweatshop made its first sale last month!? Take a look, spread the word, and tell me what you like!

Back in the Groove

If you didn't hear, ptL! I decided, after many hits to the heart, that I needed to change my major from the Finance to the Communications. The decision wasn't finalized until the end of Summer, so that meant that I had to hustle for the classes that I needed!

For the first day of class, I scrambled into the room of my first petitioned class. Yikes, no room. Bustled on over to the next 8:00 class--yess, a COM class. Success.

Then I moseyed on back again to the classroom prior--it took three days to finally make the add. It was worth it. The third was a bit of the same drama.

It was after U-Hour, and most people are sluggish then. I was one of the first ten students in the room, and I was sitting in front of a computer too. As the minutes passed, the bodies of registerd students began to trickle in. "Oh, no" is what I say over and over in my mind. It was at that moment that I realized, "Hey! God is going to give you what you need. Don't trip Choco Chip!" I did just that--left my worries, wants, and needs all at His throne.

God mos def blessed me with some real helpful professors. Most of them added more than they should have, more than what these budget plans allow. And here I am, a testimony of God's great Grace and a full load of Grace to come as I tackle these SEVENTEEN units. This ain't nothin'--nine weeks and counting.

School, check. Work, next time. Everything else, we'll see. Well, I'm off to make my groove in the books! Give a hoot and a holler, and maybe we'll catch up on things.
