Life is going suprisingly well... I have a social life again. I know, you guys never thought I'd recover in your absence, but I haven't slept in about 2 weeks. I love my life of seclusion, and sometimes it's even easier, but having a support network here again is wonderful.

This DRIVEN thing has really taken off. Our numbers have been down the past 2 weeks (20 instead of 30), but we're not discouraged by it. It seems that this is really fulfilling a purpose on campus. We can only hope it will continue to grow, but if it doesn't we won't stop. As long as a few people are gathering, I think it will continue. It's been stressful at times, but for the most part it's one of the best nights of my week. I've seen myself change a lot this semester and get back into some things that I needed to get back into. My sabbatical from God is coming to an end...hopefully.

I had a conversation with Adam Jones Monday night about seminary. All year I've kind of thought that was out of the picture for me, but now I just don't know. I was leaning hard toward just doing my Masters in Social Work, but now I'm thinking about finding a joint program. And it feels right. But who knows. I'm glad to be taking a year off to prepare myself for whatever kind of program I enter, but a little anxious about it, also. I have NO IDEA what I'm doing in August. I know that I'm graduating May 11, going to ASP May 16, and coming home from ASP August 8. After that, no idea... The idea of me going to Birmingham to live has come up again, but I just don't know. I guess my two options are either Birmingham or ASP year-round. Both have their pros and cons, but either would be okay. It sucks not knowing exactly what I'll be doing, but having two solid options makes me feel a little better.... But there are other options out there that I should probably be exploring.

Between now and March 29th I have Spring Break, Easter, and a crap-ton of stuff to do. Mainly I mention March 29th because it's comprehensive exam day....AHHHHH!!! HELP!! I haven't had hardly any time to get that together, but it's on my list of things to do. I'm sure Spring Break will be filled with fun, and by fun I mean days of studying!! But I'm that much closer to May 11th!

Blair! I heard Driven is awesome. I am glad you have found something that works for those on campus who want to meet with God in a laid back kind of way. How Cool! As for comprehensive exams, no sweat! Trust Ellen and me! haha! Remember?
