re-le-vant

So it officially is Friday, the day I venture central Florida to pursue everything relevant. What makes me laugh is all summer semester I have been trying to get up at this time to run, yet the snooze button seems like a better option at the moment, and the last day I am up. Too bad it is cloudy/rainy/angry looking outside. My online course is complete, my interpersonal communication class is meeting at Shoneys for breakfast/discussion/the easiest final ever, and then my Biology exam. The Bio exam really might determine my happiness, but going by the amount of studying I put in, its a wait and see. Wait until the last minute and see the mind of Ashley do olympic style gymnastics to complete the test.
I read the newly updated internblog @ RELEVANTMagazine.com with an excitement I haven’t felt since I was in the fourth grade and I found out my mom was visiting after 5 years. It was that nervous, “omg”, adrenaline, heart pounding, makes you want to run long distance experience of excitement. I am a little concerned, they all seem way cooler than me. Like, each person is unique in the way that everyone has a story. I am really excited to meet Hannah and Jen, only because they are the ones I have been in semi-fluid correspondance with via facebook. My director has the coolest tattoo up his arm, its a t-shirt and jeans type of atmosphere, and I have a strong feeling that I am going to sweat an unattractive amount.
I admire the cinder block room in Inez Spence Hall that I have called home for the past month. I smile because for the first time, I don’t feel like my life is cluttered with stuff. I can physically see everything in my ownership that is traveling with me. Two body-sized bags filled with clothes, books, and dvds. One medium sized duffle overflowing with shoes (75% of which I know I will not wear its a choice factor). Two overflowing tote boxes of my Health and Beauty supplies. A backpack full of books and cds. My computer and all his companions. My bedding and my pilates mat. All of this to say, I do have a plethora of stuff. Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed by stuff that I long to simplify it. Its kind of like how I feel about life. Life can become cluttered with stuff that can become overwhelming. What is great as Christians, we know that God is simple in an aspect. He is simply the alpha and omega, and we accept him in his state of greatness as if he was simple. Then again I am no philosopher, just a well-adjusted student that is ambitious and tenacious.

I will update from the road!
