Today I had lunch on the Promenade with Henry at Barney's Beanery which has a ridiculous selection ranging from breakfast foods to burritos to burgers to stuffed mushrooms...well you get the point. Afterwards I went to Barnes to pick up a GMAT book because it looks like I may be applying for an MSBA - International Finance program =o I also made an appointment with a counselor at West LA Community College so that I can figure out which classes there would fulfill the prereqs I need. Probably going to have to drop by SMC tomorrow as well just in case WLAC isn't offering everything I need. I'm pretty excited but I'm also feeling just the slightest bit overwhelmed because I only took one economics class at UCLA and I'm going to have to take accounting and business finance classes and micro/macro economics all in the next 7 months or so.

Ah well, I think I can handle it...

In Harvest Festival news, the event was a spectacular success and my Arwen costume was very popular with the little girls, one little girl's mom told me she wanted to go through the maze again just to see me (yes, I totally melted). I have tons of pictures of all the booths and each and everyone looked incredible. It was pretty sad having to tear it all down at the end of the night but it's okay, praise God anyway! I really hope last night has a lasting impact on the community...not like I expect people to start coming to our church or anything but I hope that something in them was touched, a seed of love was planted...Seeing the smiles on all those little kids faces made all the hours of hard work and time so worth it. Some of the kids wanted to go through our maze so many times that we started encouraging them to try the other booths! Kids are so amazingly innocent and imaginative...I didn't expect them to want to go through more than once because I figured they'd be like "Eh, been there done that." But they even kept coming through after we ran out of candy.

Pictures to come shortly...
