at the end of some days, i still want to be a teacher. at the end of other days, i desperately want to run far away from the profession. i kind of wish i would have kept track of how many days i felt like one or the other. if i did, i think today would've counted for at least 5 votes for running very far away.

nonetheless, 3 cheers for abbey, katie, and elizabeth, the women of 2J, who apparently have tons of people over every tuesday night for dinner. last night was my first night attending, and i filled up on some really good vegetarian chili. the food was incredible, the fellowship enjoyable, and it was much better than eating grille food and doing schoolwork. those girls will receive quite a few crowns in heaven for their hospitality.

in case you forgot, i leave on october 30th for bolivia. it's approaching quickly. make your plans now to say goodbye.
