I came up with this title halfway through my post.

With the amount I've been writing, you'd think I'm doing NaNoWriMo. (go google it) But alas, although I'm signed up I'm not, because I don't have a big enough plot bunny or motivation to crank out 1667 words a night. Maybe someday, but not today.

Life is...back to good. Well, it was always good, I know that. Life at the Mount is beautiful, even if it gets "take a screwdriver to my temple" boring and routine. (go look up Pi on IMDB) I broke the monotony by celebrating my first roundless weekend with a few bad life decisions, only to have God smack me in the face and remind me that I'm always an RA, especially on nights when I just want a few hours off.

Fall out here is beautiful. It literally looks like the hill I reside on is on fire, towards the end of october/early november. But right now the leaves are thoroughly about their business of falling, and I can see Emmitsburg pretty clearly through my window, and not just tree and parking lot.

I know I'm tied to this place for at least four more years after this one. It might be longer, depending on what life throws at me. I admit it, though, it's all starting to really grow on me. Well, spend enough time anywhere and that'll do it. But...heh, well, we'll just see what direction God wants to throw me in.

Speaking of God, prayer is a good thing. A very good thing. I think I'm going to take a break from asking someone else's opinion and try to figure out God's. We'll see what happens. Especially if I can even manage to accomplish that. :) Get my marching orders, and hope that I can follow them right.

Oh, I declared my major. Not a huge deal, it's been in the works for a while. I just feel like I should raise a private toast to the fact that I'm no longer Undeclared, but listed under "Theology". Philosophy will soon come to double that, then hopefully an English minor. Yeah, might as well put that APLit 5 to good use. :-) And yes, I know I'm bragging.

And along those lines of classes, I think I'm going to take a summer session or two out here. I'll see what's offered for teh second session, and see if I can be the RA for it. I talked to Jess (yes, the Steinke Spawn number 2) for a little bit yesterday, and mom, and Mom told me that Jess has been having trouble finding a job in the area. So either Jess is picky and/or lazy or it's more proof that the job market really isn't all that great back home. Which, on top of everything else, is an even better reason to spend a bit more time east side.

I do miss home, though. I really miss my family, and I'm a bit surprised. Distance can do wonderful things, lol. I think next year I'll go home for Fall break, stay here for thanksgiving and go home for Christmas. It feels like I've been here forever - spending fall break in Camas might have been a good decision. Oh well. Life moves forward, both here and back home, and it won't wait for me. The Camas I know and love is slowly evolving, and even the woods I grew up in isn't the same. I feel like it's all the more reason to cut the cord connected to my home state.

Anywho, I'm hungry, so instead of being emo and not eating, I'm venturing out of my den to hunt.

Rawr.
