Even my little sister is happy with the arrangement because now I can go with her to Costco in the middle of a Friday to fulfill her meat needs (chicken and salmon).

The best part for me though, is the fact that I have no excuses for not doing QT's now. I have a feeling this may be why God allowed what transpired to occur...I was making all these excuses (tired, busy, etc.) for not studying His word and working on my relationship with Him and now I have nothing but time. I'm really enjoying doing my QT's in the morning when I first wake up, it really sets a great tone for the whole day and helps me to feel refreshed and energized...ready for whatever comes my way.

Anyway, more and more it looks like I will be going back to school in the fall. I have been in contact with a couple of the professors in the program I will be applying to and they are being absolutely incredible in terms of helping me figure out what courses I need to take and even offering to tutor me via email and phone! This is the first opportunity/idea I've presented to everyone (parents, friends, etc.) where everyone is like "GO FOR IT!" And it's weird but it feels like everything in this past year has been leading up to this for me. All these little things that worked out just right (like working for the shady property management company for four months is directly responsible for the size of the unemployment checks I will be getting...cause they paid me the most).

As for politics, I have no excuse for not writing because I watch Brit Hume EVERY DAY NOW! I promise to get back into the swing of things next week though. Promise!
