I've had a wistful feeling today, partly feeling life is beautiful, and partly being really annoyed at the mundane un-beautiful obnoxious things. Like this office. But right now it's raining and gray, and "Bon Iver" radio is playing on Pandora, and life feels a little more beautiful. Also, a barista at Starbucks today told me I looked like Scarlett Johannsen, so that made me feel better. I thought, "Wow, and I'm even having a 'bad face day' today!"

Also, my beautiful cousin is getting married in less than two weeks! I am thrilled. Bachelorette party this weekend!

I've been accepted into CSU Long Beach! Wahoo! This is an answer to prayer. I cannot say how thankful and excited I am. For the past 5 years I have been floating around a bit, waiting for my path to manifest itself. I have had a couple "false starts" though they weren't really; they have brought me thus far. I've learned a lot and experienced a lot. I probably would not have been an Anthropology student if I had gone straight into a 4-year as a potential nursing student. I wouldn't have been able to dabble in floral design, either. I am thankful for the time I've had to experience these things, through which God has been guiding me and
Now I have a path for at least the next couple years. (I'm assuming, that is, that it'll take me approximately that long to take my upper division Anthro classes.) I feel like this is the beginning of a new chapter in life. I'm going to get my BA and graduate! Then I can get a job and help people (I hope)! I am so very thankful to God because I had been losing hope and coming so close to giving up at several points during the process. But He is good and got me through, and got me in! I am not going to take this for granted. God has blessed me in this area, and I only feel like His good will is going to be done in other areas of my life. I have hope! Christ is risen!! How can I forget: Christ is risen and death is overthrown! Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen! Chris is risen, and the angels rejoice! Christ is risen, and life reigns! Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the tomb!
