I Wouldn't Give This All Up for You

It's officially break! Yay! I don't have class all week! I pray this week is restful but also that I take full advantage of it. I want to work on support raising for project a ton. I also want to spend a lot of time in prayer. That's something that's fallen to the wayside as I've gotten busier the past two weeks or so.

I started reading a new book yesterday - The Great Divorce by C.S Lewis. I think I'm becoming a C.S Lewis junky. Oops. There are worse things to be addicted to, right?

You may not know this, but I have a disorder. Some call it Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I call it that, too, but I just wanted to vary my sentence structure. Anyway, because of this disorder (disclaimer: I've never actually been diagnosed. I doubt that I actually have it, in reality) I make lists. That's one reason why I love post-its. I can make a list and stick it on my wall. Goodness, the day I discovered the "Stickies" application on my Mac was such a good day. Here is a list of things I tend to make lists of:

- Books I Want to Read
These lists tend to have time limits. For example, "The Christmas Break Reading List"; "Books of the Bible to Read Next"; or "Books I Have to Read Before I Can Buy More Books".

- To-Do Lists
These also have time limits: day, week, weekend, month. They can vary dramatically in length. Sometimes they're as long as my arm. Other times they're only two items long.

- Groceries
I never remember what I need while I'm actually at the store.

- Things I've never done that I want to do soon
Right now, I would like to share part of that particular list with you. Because this week is break, I plan on marking a lot of things off that list. While in France, I have a special "Things I Will Soon Do for the First Time" list.

These things tend to be small. But I love going on what I call "Non-Adventurous Adventures". Also known as "Doing Things I've Never Done Before". Two weeks ago, I went to a hockey match for the first time. Yesterday, I rode the red tram for the first time. Today, I had a conversation in French on the phone for the first time. Next week, I will eat sushi for the first time. Things I also plan on doing soon:

- Going to the zoo in Montpellier
- Riding the blue tram to the end of the line
- Getting my hair cut in France
- Going to a club

Exciting, I know. I'll keep you updated on my adventures. I promise :)

Love.
