The Stuff of Life

Well, I finished out the semester with pretty decent grades and a sane mind, although it was questionable towards the end. I've officially finished my first semester back from Costa Rica, and let me tell you, I really was on vacation while I was down there. It was incredibly difficult to get back into the swing of a university in the United States. Hopefully I'm prepared for next semester now.

I'm currently doing a lot of relaxing, working, sleeping, music playing, and more relaxing...yep, that's the stuff of life. I've played two gigs during this Christmas season and paying gigs at that! It was pretty exciting. I have a band again that consists of me on guitar/piano/singing, a bassist, and a drummer. Our name at the moment is The Monotones, but who knows when that'll change, lol. When I'm not playing music, I'm a-working. I got a job at a local coffee shop about 5 minutes from my apartment, and it's pretty awesome. It should be a good one for a while.

I'm also preparing for the mission trip I'll be leaving for in about 2 weeks or so. I'm really excited, and a little scared at the same time. I've never been on a mission trip, so I'm not 100% sure what to expect. Say a prayer that all goes well if you think about it. I think it will go well, and I'm excited to be able to use Spanish again. I miss hearing those native speakers...

Well, that's just a little update for all of you out there still reading, lol! Hope all is well, and that everyone has an amazing Christmas! I'm still working on buying presents, lol...

Amor y paz,
Amelia
