Update time!

Okay...
This post is going to include some random updates about life. If you are one of those people who doesn't like to read semi-boring facts about another person, then this post probably isn't for you. Continue on at your own risk ;-)

For the rest of you:

Read on...

Summer has gone by so quickly this year! I can't believe I have just one short month before I go back to school.
School. That is a different matter entirely.
For one, I'm really excited that my roommate Amy is able to come back, but I'm pretty dang upset that one of my best friends isn't going to be able to come back, and that another one of my good friends won't be living on campus for the fall semester...although, that one could be useful...because I can always raid his house for Sunday dinner *innocent grin*
As far as academics go, it's going to be a pretty intense semester. I'm taking two four credit classes, and I'm also co president of the drama club, plus co head of the costume department.
I don't like to keep myself busy...no...not at all.
Of course, I need to make time in all of that to continue writing. I recently finished up a project which I'm pretty happy with, but it is now time to get back into my novel. I'm both excited and terrified about that hehe.

Okay, so about summer...because really, I don't want to think about school too much at this point.
I'm not sure who all reads this, but most of you probably know that I have trouble with migraines. They had gone away, but this summer they have returned with a vengeance. Now, I've done a couple of things to help them, such as cutting waaaaaaaaay back on chocolate, and barely drinking any caffeine, but...I need to start taking some vitamins...and honestly, I don't like doing that. Now you may be saying "but Alysha, it'll help you" and I would have to agree that yes they probably would...I just...I'm not good with keeping up with things...guess this is one of those "I need discipline" moments hehe. Yeah, prayer for discipline would be very much appreciated. :-)

Hmm...well, I'm off on a trip to Croatia this Friday! I'll be gone for nine days with no Internet or phone which will be interesting hehe.

A couple more things that I've learned this summer...God's sovereignty is astounding. I was reading over my "Letters to God" journal, and a couple months ago, I wrote about something that was weighing me down, and it was so cool to see how much He had been working in that short amount of time, even when I couldn't see it.
Another thing, how so very valuable the people around me are. I'm so thankful for the people God has brought into my life and the different roles they play. I've been supported and encouraged so much and I can't express the joy that has brought me.

So anyway, there you have it...a rather long update about life. Hope it wasn't too boring for you.
