London Calling.
I recieved a job offer in London today.
Everything is falling into place. My passport came in early, I found cheap flights… All thats left is obtaining funds and a visa…
I think a lot of people dont believe I will actually do this. Myself included. But I want to so badly. When I think of everything I would get to see and do there.. it just makes me heart stop with excitement.
I just...

Happiness.
When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life

A Little Sad Tonight..
So I have been sitting in a fridgid cold Subway using the internet for a few hours now.. and before that I was at the argo tea cafe.
Im not sure why tonight I feel so down…
I need some cheering up.
WiFi
And why is it called that anyways? I am now forced to sit in different locations around Chicago to check up on the world that I am now so detached from in my tiny little apt. I like it. It forces me out and about and I get to try new teas at the same time! Well today I went with an old favorite.. Chai. Seth just left after another visit, it was sad to see him go but I think we all had a really...

"That was like taking a bullet"
So I have been cleaning up my apt. Giving it a DEEP cleaning. Its like a rejuvenating spa day for my apt. But this brings up more than a few problems…
1) It has to get uber messy before it starts to look better.
2) Trash bags everywhere.
3) (and the most devastating one) I have found several things from my past that Im pretty sure I burried for a reason. Love letters, photographs, even...
Education vs. Learning
Is there a difference? I think so. We can be educated but not learn anything! Every math class I have ever been in would be perfect examples.. Sure I was getting an “education” but I learned nothing.
This concept is what kept me out of school this past year, I love to learn and think and debate and analyze but for me to put in that kind of effort it needs it needs to be something that...

Great(or not) Expectations
As I expected the boys did not react well to the news of my possible trip… They came up with every reason in the world why I should not leave.. Illness, uncleanliness, horrible weather, disgusting bugs and animals, uncomfortable situations, lack of showers.. everything! And with every reason they said I shouldnt go, I was more determined to overcome these obstacles that, they were right,...
Calcutta...
After reading the Irresistible Revolution I have been searching both in my heart and all around me for my “Calcutta”. My place to be, my calling, my area of service. As a kid I was moved beyond words when I read George Muellers book, and since then I have known that I want to work with children, more specifically orphans. I thought strongly about spending some time in New York,...

In Response to Ashley's Note
Ashley. My dear. I think you know that I agree with you 100%. i know how you feel ash, its frustrating thinking that what one good person thinks or does doesnt make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things.. and sometimes i get so down about it, but lately i have been reading this book by mother teresa and she has done some really amazing things in her life and so much of what she says...

Frustration
ah. So I am so frustrated these days. I just want to be out there living life, making art, learning new things about myself and the world around me, creating and living and just being. But I feel so trapped.. Like there isnt anything I can do untill I do this or that.. and I just want to Do. Trapped is the worst feeling. Suffocated. I want to move to NY and just start working somewhere at a...

Lost Points
So as I mentioned in the Amish Photo post I am in Indiana right now. And I cant tell if I lost some IQ points or if I am just being pretentious… Danielle wants to rush in a sorority *rolls eyes*, and her rush activities started last night. Being the up-for-anything friend that I am I agreed to go with and see what this huge sub-culture that seems to attract so many young women was all about....
