So first, an UPDATE:
I have officially dropped 2 of my 3 classes for the rest of the semester. This is to allow more time to spend with family and friends, and to help out whenever my mom needs me. I kept my 3rd class because it was just logging service hours and writing one 3-page paper. I plan to return to a full time student in January.
I am still an intern at Proskuneo Ministries and am working all of my hours. This has been an amazing opportunity and a great distraction, and I am definitely blessed with this job!
Also, it is Christmas.
So now, NEW THINGS:
First a brief explanation, I always try to do something new everyday, whether it is try a new food, or try paint on a different canvas, or with a different medium. So here are a few new things I have done over the last few weeks:
- I fried a turkey by myself for the first time. It's name was General Arthur Fitzgerald, and it was delicious. Yes that is him in the picture. He is awesome.
- I bought an Advent Calender. Willy and I are going to do this for the first time this year.
- I tried a new salsa that the lovely Jan Pepe brought me and it was amazing. It is called Zapata fire roasted Salsa Roja. It is soooo good! Also, I have a slight obsession with Chips and salsa. Slight.
- I read over 50 chapters in the Bible in 1 week. I am reading the Bible in a year and got behind while I was away in Guatemala and when I returned for obvious reasons. So, I have been catching up and because of that I have been able to spend a lot of time in God's Word. I am grateful that I have that freedom.
- I scored a goal with my head in an indoor game. I think this was the first time, i can't remember if I've done it before :)
- I taught one of my tutoring students 3 different algebra concepts. I am not sure whether the new thing was teaching them or actually looking at algebra :) Also a note: I haven't done any math since I was 16, and I haven't done algebra since I was 13.
So that being said, I want to know what you have done new recently, and if you haven't done anything, why not? I challenge you to do at least one thing new today, if that seems too short of notice, than this week, but I challenge you! I want to hear about it though, so post it here or on Facebook where I can see it! Also, since I challenged you, I want you to challenge me. give me a challenge. Anything. Everything! I want to be extra creative over the next month because for once I actually have a little extra time! So PLEASE!
