Today was another beautiful sunny day. After my first class, I went out on my balcony and read for a while. I'm reading the book Ryan got me for Christmas. (Thanks, Ryan-- it's really good so far!) It's called, "If you Could See Me Now." It's totally different than I thought it would be. It's a lot of fantasy, but for some reason I have started really getting into those kind of books recently. I read all three "Twilight" books over Christmas-- they have vampires, werewolves and other crazy things in them that I would usually avoid-- but for some reason, these particular stories suck me in. I think maybe I am boycotting the fact that I am growing up and I am returning back to fantasy worlds to keep me from facing reality. Haha. As long as I am falling in love with vampires, I don't have to remember that this is my last summer to be a kid. When I'm worried about a werewolf, it doesn't sink in that I am fixing to graduate and get a job-- a job with no one-month summer vacations and Christmas breaks. Nevertheless, it was great to feel the sun shining down on my face while I escaped into a world with Ivan, who is invisible and makes it his duty to change the lives of people who desperately need him. I haven't quite figured out yet why the sun revives me so. I just feel like a different person when I'm out on my balcony. I look over at the mountains, I feel the breeze and the world is right. I feel independent, yet totally in tune with everyone else. I feel carefree, yet I can clearly think about the cares my heart bears. I guess you could call the above paragraph an "Ode to Balcony"-- didn't mean to get all mooshy. It's just a balcony-- goodness.
Sara Montgomery and I got a girls' pick-up basketball game going. It was so much fun! Some girls had experience, some didn't-- but it was good to get up and down the court again. Sara plays ball for Abilene Christian University-- she's quite the baller, but she is fun to play with and makes me better. We eventually drew a crowd of boys, who cheered for us and played referee.
Tonight is pizza night and I am so ready! We have to watch the second part of the Masada video tonight as our movie so that kind of stinks, but oh well-- we all have to endure it together. I guess that basically covers my day. Love you guys!
*Don't worry about the situation in Israel. We have been assured that we are completely safe and away from all the terrorism.
