Today

• I woke up 45 min. late but still made it on time to class. I told my clock to wake me up at 8:15, but I forgot to set it. God blessed me with the few extra minutes of much needed sleep and woke me up with plenty of time to get my pants on (thank you God!).
  
• I got to walk to school with my friend Anastasiya today. We don't talk enough.
• If I would have gotten one more question right on my math test I would have gotten a 9 (10 is the best).
• I called Becca "mom" today. I still owe her money.
  
• I finished the chapter on Love in Blue Like Jazz. It makes a lot of sense and I'm going to read it again. It scares me though.
• I was reading my devotions in the sun and realized that I over read by quite a few verses. This is a good sign.
  
• I read through friend's old blog posts. I can't do it without thinking, "Where do I fit in?" so...
  
• I took a nap.
• I made coffee to make myself feel warm. Chris has lent me his French press coffee maker. It's a one person deal, just like the one that Sara gave to me (I have two). I miss my grinder because the coffee here is too fine. I don't miss my grinder because I don't need more junk in my life right now. I miss making coffee for friends. I almost always got stuck with cleaning up their mugs, which frustrated me at times. I've changed my mentality to: if I can't do that menial task, how am I going to serve people with big things (Oswald Chambers has a lot to say about this)? I now make coffee for everyone at Bible study. :)
  
• I need to study for a Bible test, which I have very few notes for. I'm meeting with Anastasiya and Sasha at 8 to study (I hope their notes are better!).
• Swing dance at 7!
  
• Potatoes, cheese, and a raw cucumber for dinner. They are going to taste better this time because Amy sent some spices to put on them. I've been eating oranges for extra nourishment. Mom, I really miss you papas doradas and milanesas.
• I'm listening to Keith Green's worship cd. If you ever get a chance to read his biography by his wife, you should. This man was nuts about God (plus he had a sweet afro, harry chest, and a beard!). To read it you just need to be able to look past his wife's awful writing skills. If you live anywhere near Upland, I might be able to sneak it out of Jujuy for you.
• Two and a half weeks until I go to Russia. That's in 18 days.
  
• My tongue still hurts like crazy. I ate some spicy spaghetti Sunday night and it just completely destroyed my tongue. My respect for Amy and Ruwe for drinking my boiling maté has increased a lot.
