I don't even know what I was looking for the other day but for some reason my search lead me to looking on my student profile for Pacific Bible College (PBC). Because I have graduated there was no "Register for Next Term Here" buttons, no active classes showing, no homework reminders. I almost cried! What used to be so active and bustling and stress causing, was so cold feeling. Like going back to an old childhood haunt after years of being away, all the wonderful memories and hours spent there are beautifully preserved, but something is missing and you can't put your finger on it. Only in this case its only been two months. The year I spent at PBC was absolutely amazing! A year that I will always cherish. I learned so much and grew so much in that one year, preparing myself for not only the future but for the season that I am currently in. Portland Community College (PCC) is a good school also, and I am really enjoying the program I'm in, just also gigantic (at least it feels so to me) and has a different culture then PBC. (And no I didn't choose my schools for their acronyms on purpose, it was a complete and utter accident, one that confuses me all the time.)
It was sometime after my search for who knows what anymore, I received a care package! That did make me cry. But they were tears of joy (for once). I haven't received very much mail up here and so to have this surprise show up after a very long week was really nice. (I think I can count the junk mail I've gotten on two hands and I know I can count the fun mail on one. The Fun mail is the only mail that I hold onto ;) ) I always like fun mail, it brings a little bit of sunshine.
And for the costume, well I'm wearing my favorite hoody for Halloween today. That's it. Well, that's it as far as my costume planning went. But to redeem myself, I included a picture of when the other interns and I from Joni and Friends Cause for Life internship East Coast dressed up as farm animals. We did pretty good if I say so myself. We had two cows, two pigs, a sheep, a mouse, a duck and of course a Farmer. And we did it all on a budget and away from home. And just to clarify, we didn't run around D. C. as farm animals, it was part of a competition that was happening where we were serving. It is a memory I will always hold onto. PSA those plastic table cloths can get a tad toasty.
This was basically my weekend, all of these various things and lot's of work. Quiet, long, lot's of work. By the time Sunday hit I was exhausted. Stay safe tonight peeps. It's a wild world out there. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
