Long day. Fun day. My-feet-are-ready-to-fall-off day. Even though I stayed mostly indoors and in two buildings today, I must have walked a marathon today. 
FSU had its last round of auditions for next year today. 450 applicants signed up, thankfully they didn’t all come. Had they, I would’ve ran a marathon in the opposite direction.
It has been such a fantastic week! The weather is beautiful, I didn’t have class on Tuesday or Thursday. I actually got ahead with some of my homework, a miracle. Spent a lot of time outside. Went to Starbucks and DIDN’T drink coffee. Started singing again. Went to chilis with some amazing friends who I used to hang with all the time during freshman year. We had a “reunion”, even though most of us see eachother every day. Rarely do we get to have fun/meaningful conversations, so one guy had the great idea to spontaneously get together. 10 of us sat at a table that was meant for 6. I had so much fun, and then was overwhelmed by the fact that I haven’t been keeping up with Ugly Betty episodes…so roomie and I had TV time ( or ABC.com time).
What a cool week. I think the biggest reason for it being so spectacular was because I was conscious of God being in the midst of everything. I caught my thoughts and words cutting Him off, and started listening more. He has really beautiful, profound things to say, but for some reason I like to listen to my own voice. Heard some new things this week. I think we miss out some really amazing blessings sometimes, because we’re so busy trying create our own blessings (I say we, first meaning me). I also remembered that facebook is a life-sucker. I can’t believe how much time I waste on it! I’ve been better the last few days…but for real, it’s a problem. It’s nice to stay connected and catch up with long distance fam and friends, but I find myself mostly talking to friends up here, and then avoiding homework (yikes).
Alright. It’s early. But every muscle/bone in my body is yawning.
Happy Saturday Night!

Hey there long time no blogging!!!!
Sorry I have not called but I got the FLU along with everything else. I’m feeling miserable and taking is out of the question cause the coughing becomes hurtful. I just got off the phone with my Dr. and he said since I have the breathinng problems that’s is going to take a couple of weeks until this goes away. So the prednesone and antibiotics are going to be with me for a while.
Get lot’s of rest and enjoy every day.
Love ya…..

Here’s a solution to your dilemma. Spend less time on Wastebook (Facebook) and more time here on WordPress. It’s been way too long since your last blog entry, and your Life Pointe Church family here in Homestead wants to hear from you more often. Even if you just write a few sentences then that’s good too !

Hey Ela, I’m sorry to hear you have the flu! May it GO AWAY quickly! Definitely rest your voice, but keep me updated via blog, when you are feeling up to visiting the PC.
My Mom asked about you recently, and I still haven’t given her your e-mail address….will do that in a few minutes. She’s hasn’t been feeling too swift this week, so it might be a little while till she shoots you an e-mail.
Chris, great idea. I will try! But my trying is definitely not very promising, as my previous blogging stats will testify. How are you doing? I do skim everyone’s blogs more than I blog.

You say you spend tons of time on Facebook? Then I must be an addict, ’cause I’m always on when you do get on. D: I need a life. I don’t get enough homework to keep me occupied.
Take care big sis.
