God provides in ways beyond what we we expect or imagine. That's all that's on my mind right now.

Whoops it's kinda been a while. As I predicted though I never did update from home. And that's not at all because I was busy, because I wasn't. I spent most of the week relaxing and sleeping and watching tv. I got some homework done too, but nothing too complex. Had a great time seeing the fam and the rolling green hills of nor cal. I always forget how beautiful it is there.

This past week has been a load of stress trying to finish up a term paper, only to find out it wasn't really due yesterday. It was, but it wasn't. Basically my prof doesn't care when you turn anything in and will still give you full credit. Since finding that out I've been as happy as a lark. Last night was a vocal competition on campus. Fifteen singers, about 6 original songs. I went second to last. Made for a bit of a nervous night but it was tons of fun. It was so good to play with a band and just get up there and do my thing. Had a guy who does recording with his roommate walk up to me and give me his card and tell me he liked my style. I feel inspired (yet again) to start writing music and performing. I've been slack on both, and now unfortunately I'll only be down here for one more month so I couldn't really get any gigs. Next fall I'm going to have to hit places up right away. Doesn't mean I can't start writing new stuff right now though! Hung out with some friends afterward, watched a funny movie that was meant to be serious, and ate great homemade cheesecake. Definitely one of my favorite nights in a long time.

I also got to talk to one of my friends from Oz on the phone yesterday afternoon. First time I've heard her voice in almost four months. The accent was a bit strong. It was so good to just hear her and be able to talk with her, even at times when I didn't have anything to say. I miss the people there a lot. I found out another one of my friends will be coming out here later this year, and yet another should be able to come out within the next year. I can't wait to see these people.

That's all for now. Probably the worst post I've ever written but I'm just exhausted today. Probably has something to do with my extreme lack of sleep this weekend...and the gas that's leaking into my apartment...
