Realization and lightning have spontaneity in common

I just talked with a fellow january. It's hilarious when you talk about somethings you don't understand. We came to this randomly: We are at a boarding school. I eat here, sleep here, live here, can't leave here, and pay to be here. Realization can be hilarious.

I never thought I would go to a boarding school. Ever. Thought Tibet was too cold.

I enjoy HA. Don't get me wrong. God called me here. I will look for Him here, because He is here. Just a fun realization.

HA UPDATE!!

Ok. Long while since I updated. Current: Week of the Ring. THe week we celebrate to get our rings of honor, symbolizing our commitment to a lifestyle of honor. Pretty fancy huh? The ring is very cool. The principles are good, but I won't forget why Im doing it (JESUS!).

Hmmm...We had a talk today about "appearance of evil" and hugs. I didnt say a word to the speaker, but I sure did in my head. Appearance of evil: hanging around someone tooo much. For quality time people: your toast when making opposite gender friends. haha. And for some reason, most of the female friends I make here are indeed...quality time. Hugs. The havent outlawed frontal hugs, but you can be confronted if it looks like your getting too involved....I thought "my foot I will let it get there". What most of the people who complain fail to realize is this: Most of the people "guilty" of giving frontal hugs are physical touch love language. I am included. I say this "I know the difference between a hug from a friend, and a hug from someone who I like or likes me. There is a BIG difference in them". people ignore what I say, but thats their choice, as is mine to keep doing frontal hugs. I don't give them out all the time and when I do, it's never more than two to the same person that day. It's uncommon. Grow up and face the fact: Hugs can be read like a book! Some people are just gifted.

*sigh* food. I have eaten a variety of food here. Salmon, burgers, french toast, etc. some good, some not, some are drop dead amazing. I have stocked up on oreos and ramen. Life savers. My favorite candy is now Linder's White Chocolate with he smooth filling...like eating pudding cake. *shivers* so goood!

Work. Work here is not work. its free labor. haha. because we are considered a non-profit organization, we are called volunteers. Ha, i lauhg everytime I think about it. It's not very motivating and its monotonous (you try calling people who have no idea why your calling them for 8 hours...then we will sit and have coffee together). But its rewarding...to receive the few calls from people who are genuinely interested in the program. OH THE CONVERSATIONS ARE HILARIOUS! I talked to this one girl for 1 hour once. Best thing about it: it was considered work. I talked to this girl, interacted, asked about her school and so on. Refreshing.

SOW UPDATE
I am playing a lot. learning some coool chords, the importance of an amp over pedals. the importance of a delay pedal and metronome. learning creativity through simplicity from Paul Baloche (He is ADD by the way...very funny to watch him speak)

I don't practice as much as I should. I know, shoot me. But Im busy. They know I am busy. Everybody is busy. But its nice. I play when I can, practice for about 20 min. catch up on some sleep (regardless of what research says...you can catch up!) I sleep 8 hours over the course of a day. 6 at night, 2 after breakfast. its nice.

PEOPLE UPDATE
Zech (Zack) is here with me. Funny dude. Helped me mature a bunch. Very grateful, and he is very good at guitar. He understands a lot. Helped me solidify me view of "Amps over pedals". Amps are expensive, but less things to carry :) and better sound.

Zach (Zach) is my Acountability Partner. He and I have some great times of worship and share a lot of views. He encourages me and I him. He sleeps above me and I wake him up for breakfast every so often. We take naps in the room together as well. We eat ramen together too. And he drinks tea. SCORE!

Danny. He is the room leader. funny. He sleeps on a double mattress bed. I didnt know this until...two days ago. Its comfy. Im claiming it when the Augusts leave. :)

Kayla. She is leaving sooon :( Her family and her feel like God doesnt want her here. She feels hindered spiritually and is scared. So she is looking homeward. I would stop her, but I feel the Spirit saying no. SO I let her go. She leaves soon.

We are about to lose like...20 people in about 2 days. Its scary. Reaosn: $$$$$ funds are expensive and it scares people.

More updates later, LOVE YOU ALL!!
