It's been a wonderful past two days. Here's the fun that's been had with the new camera. Too tired to think of anything intelligent to type.

Working through a lot of things. It's rough times in Willetts 258.
Highlight of the day: Godiva chocolate and a new camera. And getting to use my pink + gray umbrella.

This post regards my roommate, Krysten Joy Clark. Because she deserves it. Krysten is a fabulous roommate for many, many reasons.
- She jumps up on my bed to participate in Brock to the Rock with me.
- She keeps the frappuchinos cold.
- She asks me at least three times a day how I'm doing.
- She doesn't let me get too down.
- She lets me cry when I need to.
- No matter what time of night, and what's going on back in the hall, she will drive out to be with me when I need her.
- We laugh together all the time, even though we spend so much time together.
- She's not afraid to ask for advice.
- She is gentle when giving advice.
- She watches movies, but only when it doesn't interfere with my quest for good grades.
- She has a heart for the girls in our hall.
- She doesn't hold anyone to higher standards than she holds herself.
I love you K-Baby!!
I just had cold potato wedges and I think they made me catch Crystal Missler's food poisoning. Ew.

It's early in the morning and I can't sleep. I can barely breathe. Maybe that's the overwhelming scent of hazelnut in our room.
Big management test in the morning. Megan went to bed early. I thought about going to bed early. Krysten may stay up all night. She called me "what's her face" tonight. We live together. If she should know anyone's name, you'd think it would be mine. But, alas, it's not. It's the boy who's taped to her computer.
At least he's cute.
I want to go to bed because I was told to go to bed. I was told to get more sleep and not rely on caffeine pills. I am tense and happy and hyper and tired and upset and genuinely content at the same time. If you don't think that's possible, trust me, it is.
I want to make him proud of me.
I want God to be proud of me. I want to be worthy of being His daughter. I want to bless His name.
I don't think I'm saying anything that makes sense anymore, and I don't care. I'm too busy thinking on overdrive. Big, deep thoughts that I can't translate for the world.
I can't even translate them for one person. I feel so inadequate right now.
There is so much to share, but I can't share too much. It's terrifying to share. You never know when something that you share might be rejected.
There should be a rule against writing on here after midnight. I think I just created it. I won't follow it, but rules are made to be broken, right? Or at least, this one was.

"You've got to get your act together
You're stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it.
They say that nothing is forever
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it."
Suz and Libby and I were thinking about China, and Lib came up with the first line of an amazing poem.
"It's always tomorrow in China."
Profound, I know. And Suz is adding onto it, so for best results go
here.
I should be getting ready for church, but the next step is putting on makeup and I really don't feel like putting any on. Maybe I won't. Maybe I'll read ym and eat a Tootsie Roll pop instead. But probably not. Probably I'll go attack the eyeliner with a vengeance.
Last night, Krysten and I yelled things out the window past quiet hours. Okay, actually, only I did. Krysten made me, though. She encourages me to live on the edge. That's why we sing "Vindicated" at the top of our lungs and sometimes run around the halls of Willetts with Cale, our ex-pet dustmop greeting everyone.
Today is yesterday in China.
