learning to blog

yes, hello. who knows if anyone is even reading this. well, in case you are - please excuse my tardiness with making another post. but here i am again. i really will try to do at least one a week from now on, i promise.

today is going to be a random thoughts/happenings blog. here goes: i went to st. julian's at lunch today and met some new kids. that doesn't always happen so that means it was a good day. two girls put in an entry for the free trip to the service project that we're giving away (a friend of mine offered to sponsor a kid to come with us - SO AWESOME!).

also, i've had it on my brain that i want to move lately. i think i want to live really close to the school, and that neighborhood is also super close to a beach, a market, the train station...it's kind of awesome. so who knows. something to think and pray about.

i'm about to give my first club talk in portugal tonight. i feel really cool and calm about it which is wonderful. two friends (my age) are coming - emily and anniina. emily is a missionary here from the u.s. as well and anniina is my finnish dance student friend.

tomorrow i get the day off :) not sure what i'm going to do yet. possibly go into lisbon tomorrow night. we'll see.
