Just a Day in the Life.

Since there hasn't been a whole lot of activity on here, and I need to kill some time I figured I'd let y'all know how my Saturday has been.
I spent the night at Anna's for her birthday, and we crashed around 1 a.m. We woke up at about 10, and then I hung around there till close to 1.
Then we cleaned the house, and I did college applications. I hate college applications. There is nothing more dull than college applications. I'm just ready to be done with the whole process and to know where exactly I'll be headed next fall.
Well that was pretty much my day up until now. Later I plan on hanging out with my friends. We try to all get together on Saturday nights, and play a game or something. It's usually pretty awesome. The down side to having an awesome weekend though, is it generally feels reminiscent of summer, which makes me really miss summer. It also make Monday mornings really hard.
But I love the weekends, and I basically live weekend to weekend. My trick to get through the week is to make sure I always have something to look forward to. For example, Mondays I have Young Life after work, Tuesdays are usually Terrific Tuesday, Wednesdays are church and senior Bible study, Thursdays are pretty bland, and then Fridays the weekend!
I am also a huge fan of countdowns. In my school planner, I have a countdown to each break (currently 10 school days until Thanksgiving break), a countdown to Christmas (49 days), and a countdown to Passion 2012 (57 days). I just love countdowns.

Well that's about it from me, but I'll leave y'all with some songs I like right now.
Toodles,
Holly


"Give Me Faith" - Elevation Worship

"Never Let Go" - David Crowder Band

In Recent News...

So I figured I ought to post about what's been going on for me.... hmmm let's see. I got a job at Kumon learning center, and all I do is grade for the most part while wearing a fairly unflattering polo. But it's a job, and a job pays money. So for 7.50 an hour, for 8 hours a week, I can't complain. Especially now that I realize how much money I need in order to do all the stuff I want. Earlier me and Jordyn were talking about all the things we want to do this next year, and it all involves money! Ugh, things should just be free, or money should just be more abundant.

Some of the things that I'm factoring into my budget:

Tithe (I should start that habit early)

Compassion International (I sponsor a little girl, Lulu, with other girls in the youth group)

Passion Conference (I AM SO PUMPED FOR THIS.)

California Spring Break Trip (With Jordyn, Matti, and/or Haleigh. It's just an idea right now, but it sounds pretty fantastic)

Youth Camp

Young Life Camp (Me and Jordyn just started going to Young Life this week, but it's super cool and camp seems awesome!)

Mission Trips and other Youth Events

So as you can see, I'm gonna be saving up as much as I can. I will probably still ask for help paying for some things from Mom and Dad, but I'd like to try and pay for most of it myself. I already have envelopes marked for each category, and I have a total of $42 in my Passion envelope, and that's 'bout it.

In other news, I started reading My Utmost for His Highest, as like a daily devotional thing to pair with reading the Bible. Ummm and I have probably the worst case of senioritis ever (I'm putting off work even as I'm typing this.).

That's about everything new with me, so I guess I'll just leave you with a song I am OBSESSED with right now, and that'll be it from me, for now.
