Emails

I just got a comment from someone who was not happy with an email I sent. To that person: I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone, ever. But I would like to know who you are so that I can apologize and we can talk, so if you want to, you have my email address, please email me. I would like the chance to defend myself, and discuss this situation with someone who is not at the other end (the vicious end) of this spectrum. Please contact me. Thanks.

Um. Yeah.

Hola. K. Well. Sorry it's been so long, but I've been REALLY busy!!!

I've been working for two weeks now, and I really like it!! I understand he cataloging system now, and I know where almost everything is. It's really fun to be able to help people!!!

The baby (Maddie) is 22 days old, and still as cute as ever!!! The 19th was my daddy's 66 birthday, so I called him and sang Happy Birthday over the phone!!! Jocelyn and I came home this weekend; I have a wedding to go to ( Duane and Corinne are getting married this evening), and we wanted to see the baby and we're having a Birthday party for Dad.

I have TONS of homework to do, and laundry and stuff. BUT I got to go shopping yesterday!!!! And that was really fun, Becca and Jocelyn and I went to Old Navy......my weak spot. But it's all good, and very cute!!!!

I'm still in all those classes, and actually doing a fairly good job, I think. It's extremely crazy, but it's getting better, a little more of a routine. My favorite classes are my Music Theory and Music Theory Lab class!!! I know some of the stuff, or at least know the surface stuff. But to get down into the why and how and be able to build up what I know about the language of music is AWESOME!!!! Then there's English, we just finished Twelfth Night, and I actually liked it! World Civ would be my second favorite class. There's LOTS of notes, three pages typed per day, and a fair amount of reading. But it's so cool to look at the historic world from a Godly point of view. And then...let's see....what else? Studio and private lessons...interesting to say the least. It's fun, but kind of embarrassing. And then, on Thursday, I went to my first practice with the Shasta Band, and it was AMAZING!!!! Like over 100 people!!! Think about that and then think about the fact that last year we had 15 in my High School band. And we're playing great stuff, like Seventy Six Trombones from The Music Man, an arrangement from Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Somewhere from West Side Story. I got the Freshmen Rep position, only there was two spots, and only two of us ran, so. I won't start actually working for athletics until basketball starts, but that's just around the corner. And honestly, I can't wait!!! I actually like stating, and it'll be fun to not have to run the clock AND do the book.

I think that's all I'm doing.....I'm not really sure, I can't remember.

Anyway, I miss you all and hope to hear from you!!! Leave me a comment (and your name!) or send me an email!!!!

Luv In Christ,

Natasha

P.S. TIM!! We sang Be Thou My Vision in chapel on Wednesday!!!!!

Updates of the general kind part two...

K. Well. Lets see. I start my job in the Start-Kilgour Memorial Library today in about 11 minutes. I got out of class and came straight over here because class was supposed to get out at 12:50 and I had to be here at 1. Only to get here and realize that it was only 12:30. So I decided to come check my email, browse through some blogs, and post.

So, yeah. I start my job in 10 min. And I'm nervous, because I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing. I'm excited, money is always a good thing when the bill on my Simpson account is more money than I've ever had (not counting financial aid). AND, I have another job, only it's seasonal. I'm going to stat for the Basketball Teams. I don't know for sure which ones, or when. But I signed all the paperwork and got all the stuff done, so come season, I'll be back doing what I love!!!

Quick side note, I know I mentioned this earlier, but when and if you leave a comment, please sign it. I just want to know who you are, so I can either harass you about what you said, thank you, or defend myself. And if you have a name that lots of other people have, give me a last name or some sign as to who you are please. Thanks!!!

In other news. I am currently enrolled in 17 units. With 10 classes. Yep, that's right, 10. 6, count them six, 1 credit courses. 1 two credit course. And three 3 credit courses. That's 17 units. PLUS I'm the student rep for my floor (IRWIN 2nd FLOOR ROCKS!!!!!!) and I'm running for Rep of my Freshmen class. And I'm still practicing with the volleyball team. And I'm working for Athletics and the Library. And I will shortly be part of the Shasta College Band (that's one of those units), and I'm in private lessons for my clarinet.

And I still need sleep and food, not to mention actually going to those 10 classes and doing the homework for those 10 classes. It's going to be a BUSY semester!!!!!

So, if you have the time, please pray for me for patience, diligence, and rest. And if any of you have a prayer request, simply leave a comment (include your NAME, or don't, I mean, you don't have to, but at least leave a call sign or something equivalent so that I can have something to call you) and I will pray for you. Everyone who asks me to pray for them, will be prayed for every day, I guarantee it.

Love always,

Natasha

P.S. This is a VERY long post!! And don't forget to check out the pictures of my great neice!!!!

Comments: To the person who left that anonymous comment about how cool my site was, thank you. I'm not trying to be rude, but your site needs help if my Simpson University Internet blocked it for content. Check out the 10 Commandments, Exodus 20, and if you wanna meet this really cool guy I know named Jesus, lemme know.

Classes.....

So I just had my first college class!!!! Music Theory Lab I. And, I must say, I liked it. Dr. Foster is an understanding guy, and he's going over the basics first!! So hopefully I should be able to get back into the groove before we start hardcore stuff. There's also some people in the class that aren't musicy people, so I actually know more than they do, (which sounds horrible I know, but I was really worried about being really stupid, and here I am supposed to be a music minor!).

So far life at Simpson is AWESOME. Yes, I'm sleep deprived, but what's new there? My roommates are awesome, and I'm meeting new people and learning new things.

I hope life's going great for all of you, lemme know what's going on!!!!

Roommates.....

It's okay, though. I have okay roommates. Actually they're better than okay. Well, at least right now they're better than okay. In a few weeks I might not think so, but at the moment, they're all right. Sheng, Jennifer, and Melissa. Irwin 208. That's us!!!!!

I just went to see the movie Coach Carter at a local movie theater with a WHOLE bunch of freshmen. It was one of those "MANDATORY" orientation activities that aren't really mandatory. It was actually better than I thought it would be. Jennifer and I went with the intention of sitting in the back and making fun of it. But then we were both really tired so we didn't. Her and I played a game this afternoon called Kick Ball Slip-n-Slide. Yep, you kick a big bouncy ball, run the bases, and, you guessed it, slide into home via the tarp sprayed with dish soap and water. (Anyone remember the slip-n-slide at Mount Hope that left that HUGE mark in the grass on the hill?)

Anyway. Tomorrow is chapel and good stuff like that. We're going to the Turtle Bay Muesem, I'm actually looking forward to it, and I don't have to pay, which is exciting. And then Monday we meet with our Advisors, and plan our four years at Simpson out a little bit. I'm excited about that, getting to meet my Advisor and see if my schedule is TOTALLY wrong, which it probably is.

Anyway, I'm leaving now. Nothing to do and lots of time to do it in.

Later,

Natasha

Room MATES!!!!

You'd think with a title like that that I would be using this to whine and cry and moan about my roommates. But I don't have any yet. That's the point, actually. They will be here tomorrow. And I'm nervous. These are the three girls that I will be spending a good chunk of the next 8 months with, I'm really nervous. I won't even me here when they get here!!!! I'll be at the tournament. Isn't that exciting? Anywho, just like that last night in my bed at home, tonight is the last night that I have the room all to myself. Which I think is a good thing, I was starting to get lonely. And I was starting to feel too possessive over 'my room', it's not 'my' room, it's our room. The 'our' just isn't here yet. But, they'll be here tomorrow for better or for worse.

It could be that in the very near future I will be posting about my roommates, the question is, Good Post or Bad Post? That is the question. Or is it? (PBJ)

Love in Christ
