Pretty Lights and Knitting

I love college. Cliche phrase, I know, but it's oh so true. Life is great right now. I'm growing in the Lord. I love my classes. I have great friends who I absolutely love spending time with. More time for rock climbing would be good, but I can't complain.

I'm trying to learn to not let my stresses get the best of me. Just one day at a time. :) It always works out in the end so why do I let the worries in life depress me?

I was watching rock climbing videos while working the dorm desk the other day and came across this pretty cool one that had some good music too. In the end credits I saw a website for the music called Pretty Lights. Turns out its all free to download and there was some decent stuff in there. Yay for free music!

I've also started the wonderful art of knitting. ;) My grandma taught me when I was little but I wasn't very good and gave up quickly. Over break I had her teach me again and now I've made 3 scarfs! ha ;) Maybe I'll get some pictures up soon.

Words.

Work. Work. Work.
Bleh.
It's not just the "work". It's the minimum wage and not so nice or fair bosses.
Once books are bought and I buy stuff for my room since I won't have a roommate this year (on the bright side... that is quite exciting!) I don't think it will look like I worked this summer at all. Can someone say BUUUMMMEEERRR!?!?!?! haha

Other than work I've been trying to rock climb when I can. It's just soooo stinkin hot! But I do think I've improved some. :) Can't wait to climb with all my friends back at school. :)

Yesterday my friend Bethany and I were hanging out and she played this song in the car on the way to lunch. It was called Rocks and Water by Deb Talan. I absolutely love it.

I love how simple words and phrases can take the mind so many places. It doesn't take much does it? One word can mean so many. Add art and color to those words and it can be channeled, expanded, and detailed. Not only are word and meaning present... did you notice? Feelings. There is emotion in words too. Even when not spoken. And they can be completely different for each person, making the meaning of the word different for that person also. Amazing.
