Of course I'd have to be the one making a blog for you all.

Ok! Go! Post interesting things! Now! Do it! Now!

I'll start. It's looking like things are falling into place for me to live in Tokyo next summer. I don't know anything about what I'd be doing, but the missionary I emailed totally skipped the initial phase of "Well here are some programs you can look into" which is designed to keep overly excitable people like me from going into shock at the endless possibilities that actually exist. Nope, he was sort of a jerk, basically telling me that I could pretty much do whatever I wanted over there, even creating my own nightlife ministry just so long as I gave them the contact info of all the crazy kids I meet so they can follow up. Anyway, I have a bunch of praying to do before I email him back. I'm currently leaning toward just working in their church and asking for freedom to roam around. I dunno. We'll see what God does with this.

Prayer request: Besides wisdom for the above, do y'all remember that sinus infection I got a week or so before we left? I still have it and it's been absolutely wrecking me these past few weeks. Antibiotics didn't get rid of it and it's morphed into a really unfortunate cold/sinus monster that feels like it's trying to finish the job that the lawnmower couldn't. I hate that lawnmower! I've been having random other health issues, from multiple rounds of crazy infected mouth sores (over 3 weeks straight now) and a bruised/maybe broken nose that makes blowing the 30-something gallons of snot out of my brain cavity moderately painful. I'm soooo tired. Like, sooooo tired.

School's been great though! It started out really rough but it's progressively becoming what I was hoping this year would be like.

Anyway, I gotta go. My old dorm floor does a thing called Chill Day where they take a bunch of couches and put them outside and we play with legos and have a root beer keg. Crazy kids.

Love you all.
