October 30th

hehe, it's only been october 30th for 14 minutes...i'm up waaaay too late...

well, i haven't blogged about anything in a while so i thought i needed to write SOMETHING, trouble is, i have no idea what to write about...the only thing i've been doing for the past couple weeks is school...well, last weekend we went camping, that was fun! it was so good to be away from mad-made concrete buildings and out in God's beautiful nature! had some good family time just worshiping the Lord...

school's been going ok, had a pretty productive week...
been thinking a lot about getting ready to go to college next summer...exciting!! nervous though, there's gonna be a lot of new things on me all at once, namely DRIVING, haha...if i lived in the states i'd be driving myself everywhere now, since i live HERE, driving scares the heck out of me...laundry, i'll be fine...cooking, good...handling my own finances? scarrrryyyyy...just the fact that i won't be in china any more, haha, it's gonna be so crazy...it'll be comical...
cassie is so much fun, she's like one of the funnest things in my life right now, she's just such a bossy little sassy britches...she keeps us all entertained...the more she starts to talk, the more HILARIOUS she gets...she can say the most bossy things in the most polite way, hold up her hand and say "stop, please" or "go away, please"...it's so funny...she only says "i love you" in chinese, among other things...her favorite thing to watch is "ni hao kai lan", a cartoon about a little chinese girl...the show drives us all insane but she's adorable imitating it...
tonight i went with my mom and our good friend, candice, and we got pedicures...for 7 US dollars we got this ginger soak and scrub that was SO nice, and then our nails painted with whatever-you-want hand-painted flowers, one of the amazing/wonderful things about living here...7$ amazing pedicures...
well, been prayin about a girl's bible study group i'm tryin to get going...really excited with the possibilities! hope the blog can be a tool to help facilitate that...
random: i took one of those spiritual gifts tests, and it said that my (highest, biggest, no. 1, whatever) gift is a tie, Evangelism/Administration...anyways, just thought that was interesting...
i'll attempt to write something with more substance tomorrow, right now i'm gonna get some sleeeep...
