Random thoughts since I've been home:
-I am disappointed in my grades this semester, but rationalize that they're a little lower because I spent so much time working my butt off applying for (and getting!) an internship of a lifetime.
-My friends can make everything look really easy. I find that I have lower self esteem at home than at school. (probably because I forget who I am NOW and revert back to my middle school/high school thinking.)
-I think about God a lot less at home than I do at school.
-I think the two thoughts above are positively correlated.
-I have some friends who I don't ask what's REALLY going on with them enough.
-I need to get on a regular, normal sleep schedule.
-I want to eat healthier, but am not exactly sure how. I don't inherently know what food is good and bad like apparently the rest of the world does.
-Sometimes I'm jealous of how easy people's lives seem, but then I realize they've taken barely any risks in their lives and with risks come struggle.
-I am really inspired by the blog of one of my future roommates, Molly Akin. Can't wait to be inspired by her thirst for God everyday next year.
-I need lots of prayers about my physical and mental health during my internship.
-I have the best mommy ever for redecorating my room and surprising me.
-I worry about the future way too much and so easily forget all the ways God has provided for me and will continue to do so...
Goodnight.

I say don't stress about these things. They'll all get worked out. As far spiritual and physical health, we should study something together this summer, and we can eat healthy together, too! Can't wait for you to be here!
