sorry for the lack of posting, friends. i've been really busy with school and work and such lately, i just haven't felt like writing. but i am indeed okay.

and i'm going to alaska in less than a week. i was going to try to make it down to texas for spring break, but i decided i should wait until summer, because it would take me a couple of days to recover from the ridiculous drive both ways, and that would be no fun for my texan friends, nor would it be fun for me. so, alas, i will wait until may. i will miss you until then.

in other news, i saw ara yesterday. his work and home are so close to my school you'd think we'd drive by each other a lot more often, but yesterday was actually the first time ever. i was turning onto rand from isabella, and he was just getting off work. he smiled some goofy grin, held my gaze until i turned away, and waved at me. i waved back but i don't think i smiled. i didn't mean not to smile, it's just... well... i dunno. whenever i see him it's always at least a little premeditated, and it just caught me off guard. i found myself feeling really nervous for about 10 minutes after the two-second encounter, i guess just wondering what he was thinking as we passed each other. it almost made me angry. how dare you look at me like you love me and then never call. that sort of thing. but i'm over it now. obviously.

back to my biblical exegesis paper.
