i am nothing

FYI - \"the whitis\" is the head of the english dept here at olivet.  i love her, but she is a very strong, powerful woman.  we all think she deserves a \"the\" for that.  kinda intimidating...
i am now officially done with my practicum!!  today i don\'t have class until 1230 - that is unbelievable!!  i didn\'t even set my alarm!  this is gonna be great...
fall weekend was amazing!  i am SO glad that i finally went!  i don\'t know why i ever feel llike i can\'t do things.  God is just really showing me that He can literally be my strength - in so many situations lately. 

Don\'t panic. I\'m with you. 
There\'s no need to fear for I\'m your God. 
I\'ll give you strength. I\'ll help you. 
I\'ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.
Isaiah 41:10

ps - i\'m going home this weekend.  i can\'t believe i haven\'t been this semester!  it\'ll be a real quick trip... but i cannot wait!!!! 

11 DAYS TIL ARUBA!!!!

first and foremost - i\'m going to wisconsin in about 30 minutes for YoungLife fall weekend!!  this is a kinda big deal for me - and definitely big for all these kids!  so prayers would be AWESOME!

\"the whitis\" (you can imagine the emphasis) came and observed me teach at school today - nerve wracking!!  i think i\'m just now calming down from it all - but overall it went pretty well - its a tough class, but they really got into my lesson which WAY excites me!  so what if they were a little rowdy?  at least they spoke!!

AND i just found out that kankakee is getting a walmart SUPERCENTER!!  woah!!  no more being a trader and going to k-mart for me!  party with aubree!  :)

so have a good weekend... i\'ll be back sunday afternoon... just in time to start another insane week!

(((it\'s gonna be cold in wisconsin... with all my winter clothes in tennessee...)))

so... last friday, darin and i went to the
  WHITE SOX   
parade and rally downtown!  it was awesome!  don\'t get me wrong, i\'m a  cubs fan.  i don\'t generally follow much baseball, especially the sox, but i did go to a game this summer and i did follow the series!  you gotta get excited when your city\'s team makes it big!  (and yes, i\'m claiming chicago as mine)  and i figure, some day i\'ll be able to say \"oh, i was at the celebration when the white sox won the 2005 world series!\"  not a opportunity i wanted to miss!  it was crazy... but good times!
then we went to a graduate school fair at UIC... very interesting.  lots and lots of choices for darin... fun stuff.  the future is a scary thing to think about...
saturday i took tests all day - total poo.  that\'s all i wanna say about that...
sunday we took the cornerstone youth to laserquest!!  i haven\'t been since my own youth groupin days... i forgot how aggressive it can be!  the first round, our 10 high schoolers (and 4 of us \"adults\") played with like 50 little boys from some birthday party.  they were intense!  one kid just randomly kicked me!  what the heck?!  screaming \"i hate you!  i hate you!\" in my face (or as close as he could jump to my face anyway!)  anyhow... it really was fun...
this week is not quite as stressful as last... but it\'s still up there.  i\'ll hopefully be finishing my practicum my next tuesday!  my life will be SO much easier!  i cannot wait!
so... how was halloween??  we went and saw SAW 2 last night - great movie!  they\'re so disturbing and disgusting but yet intriguing to no end!  blows my mind.  seen it?  thoughts???
oh the life of a grad office worker.......
