| So remember the last time I blogged on Tuesday, July 1? Well that was over a month ago. I am now a month closer to school starting and I never thought this would be the case but I'm pumped. A lot of people have been making lists of what is going on in their lives, but I'm going to make a list of the things I'm looking forward to: 1. Jordan being back for good! Jordan has been here visitng for the past week, and it has gotten me really excited about him being at school again. He is my favorite person in the world. And he's really hot. 2. My new roommate...I can't wait for Marlee to get here and add new excitement to my life. She's great. And our room is gonna be beautiful. 3. Other people living on my hall. I moved into my new room last week and right now I'm the only one on my hall. I'm not gonna lie, sometimes it gets creepy. 4. Cafeteria!! It will feel so good to have my meals taken care of for me. I will definitely have a new appreciation for cafeteria food. 5. Friends coming back to school. I feel like so many people are coming back and I'm so excited to get to be within less than a mile from them all the time. I've missed them all. 6. Believe it or not, chapel and classes. I've never been this excited to learn, but this year I am really looking forward to my classes (excluding Speech) and growing both as a person and spiritually. I can't wait to figure out what I need to do in life. Well that's basically all. I just am excited to get on with life. This summer has been good but I've felt pretty restless. Thanks for reading this even though its probably not as exciting for you as it is me. But that's what's coming up in my life. I'm sure I will update you again in the near future. Ok back to work! | | |
| well i'm sitting here trying to think of what to do after eating microwavable chinese food. this is what my life has come to. but no, its not really that bad. so i guess i'll tell you a little about my weekend. i got to spend some time with Jordan at his house and it was really nice. its getting harder and harder to wait until he comes to knoxville for good. i miss him heaps. but, for a little while, we got to hang out and it was great. they have a sweet hammock, and we might have watched an entire season of the office in basically one sitting. might have. i was glad too that i got to hang out with Charlie, since i rarely ever do. friday was the day Jordan, Charlie, Phillip and i went to columbia, sc to see mewithoutYou and i'm not sure if i can adequately describe the show. i cannot recall the last time i felt so free in worship as i did when they played. i love the music and everything but i think the words in their songs mean more to me than in any other songs because they are so true and pure and scriptural and they challenge me. i'm so humbled before God when i listen to their music and it challenges me to live more humbly before Him. i just wish i could explain. even if you don't like their music, i recommend reading their lyrics. they were one of my like, top 5 favorite bands before but i just appreciate them so much more since i saw the show. i've been pretty much listening to them non-stop, and i hope that doesn't make me lame. if it does, oh well. there was another band there called maps and atlases and they seriously blew us away. i would try to explain but i'm writing way too much. thank you for tolerating this :) "i do not exist," we faithfully insist while watching sink the heavy ship of everything we knew if ever You come near, i'll hold up high a mirror Lord, i could never show you anything as beautiful as You | | |
| so this summer i decided to learn to speak Pidgin. it's totally useless at this point in my life, i know. but if i ever go to PNG i would know it and also i just really enjoy learning languages. that also should tell you how bored i must be to try and learn a new language this summer. but anyway, Jordan has been teaching me a little every day. i just made some coffee and i'm about to settle down with this book. i've read like 3 pages and i already feel like i'm going to love it. i'm not going to lie, it's kind of hard to find things to do on the weekends here in the summer. but it does give me a chance to relax, which is something i need. i'm really looking forward to Crossings tomorrow, since i missed last week. Crossings might be my favorite thing about Knoxville. well in my next update i will probably be telling you about the mewithoutYou show in Columbia, SC! i'm super excited. its supposed to be in a really small venue and i've just always wanted/needed to see them. anyway, thanks for reading this. ps: if Savannah Eaton is reading this i want her to know how thankful i am for her support of my friendship with Betsy Wolf. | | |
| wow so the last time i wrote was almost 2 years ago! i was prompted by Betsy and Heather to make a new post. i'm in Knoxville for the summer working at school. this week has been good, but tiring. and very bitter-sweet because it was Heather's last week in the office. it was so good spending time and bonding with her but that makes it even more sad to me that she's leaving. i think something about knowing someone's leaving soon makes you all the sudden become closer to them. so this week i've been making collages/paintings. i'll show you.  
anyway, yeah. i've been all about that for like 3 days straight. i just thought i'd share it with you. nothing super interesting is going on in my life at this point. however, i'm really excited about next semester. it's crazy that i want the summer to go by fast so i can be back in school again, but i really am looking forward to everything about the fall. especially Jordan being back. it'll be so good to see him every day again. and i think we'll be able to appreciate life here a lot more. so that's a short update. i hope it will satisfy my readers. since i have so many. but i'll write more later. -emilee | | |
