"Australia"

I don't know what people's problem was...I thought it was a fantastic movie. I understand the "it's too long" bit, though I think that's an issue of it feeling like it could totally be over and be a complete story halfway through.
I have, however, spent the last few hours cursing white people from here to...well, there.

Panel at Church Last Night

I'm leading a small group at University UMC on Wednesday nights focused on LBGT issues in the Church. We had a panel come in from the LBGT Resource Center on campus last night. Unfortunately, this week we have a huge crew from church down in New Orleans on a mission trip. And some other folks had to teach other classes. So we had as many panelists as audience members...oops. But it was a really good discussion, and the folks that were there got a lot out of it.

CLEP

So, many years ago, I took a Chemistry CLEP test in an attempt to take Organic Chemistry at CMU during high school. I didn't get a high enough score to get the full prereq. HOWEVER...I did get a good enough score to earn 4 general chemistry credits at MSU when I send in my scores. And those four credits will help me to get a fourth degree in four years since I need a total of 210.
There's a purpose and use for everything...

State Retreat

This past weekend was the Wesley Foundation State Retreat. Drove to Grand Rapids Friday night and stayed at GRASP (Grand Rapids Area Service Project) in their barracks. Saturday we painted at La Nueva Esperanza, the only Spanish-speaking United Methodist church in the West Michigan Conference. It was good to see all my darlings.

"Young Frankenstein"

Mel Brooks' New Musical "Young Frankenstein" is in town! Mom and Dad came with a bunch of friends and we went en mass to view the raunchy hilarity. Mom, Granna, and I saw this in New York Summer 2008. Was fun to see it again. Bailey enjoyed it quite a lot (or at least enjoyed watching my reactions to "Please Don't Touch Me" and "Deep Love").

Hello!

Darlings, I am so sorry to have forgotten you. Well, not you, but communication...
The blog used to be my homepage, reminding me to post often. But my International Relations class requires me to have some idea as to what's going on in the world, so now it's the NY Times frontpage and I'm a freak. Prepare for an absurd number of fresh posts to bring you all up to speed!

Grade Comfort

That's comforting...got back my first two assignments today.
