| The title says it all. It's a quote from one of my favorite tv shows growing up. This past week has really got me thinking a whole lot. I had one of the more challenging academic weeks and on top of that some work related stuff and home related stuff. I'm kind of in this fog now, where I don't know how things got the way they are, but there they are. I came to the conclusion that I don't feel like I can go home for extended periods of time, but I can't stay here in Berea either. I am so burnt out that I can't keep up with everything I used to be able to. I am so ready for this semester to be over. I won't be getting out of Berea for winter break really, but I will get a break from classes. I'm going to stay and work here in Berea so I can make some money. I'll be leaving on Jan. 6th to study the Protestant Reformation in Germany and Switzerland. I'm super excited, but can't get too excited yet cause this semester isn't over.
I was promised a car in January, but I got a phone call Friday saying that Tim rear-ended someone and his car couldn't even drive away. I have gotten used to expecting little from home, but it still sucks. I was excited, and that's just another broken promise.
I've gotten to the point where I feel numb to everything. I have gotten used to being scared of the nursing department here at Berea...i've gotten used to disappointment from home....I've gotten used to being let down. Why does someone have to be used to that though? I don't know.
A very good friend put it into perspective for me on Wednesday. She asked, "so Danielle. How's your relationship with God?" I couldn't really answer that question cause I got to the point that I was comfortable. That's never a good thing. I don't want to be comfortable. That's what I'm going to work on.

| Well it's been awhile since I posted again, so here's a little of what's been going on...
I have had one of the most demanding semesters ever imagined. It's been absolutely ridiculous. I've been exhausted more this semester than any other. But right now things are great! I'm on spring break, and although I'm stuck in Berea working, I've had fun. I've made closer friendships, got things other than school work done, and had plenty of alone time...lol. My roommate is spending the week visiting her boyfriend over in Germany. She's been having fun from what I can tell. I love the fact that the weather is finally getting warmer...hopefully me saying that doesn't jinx it. My parents are going to come visit me in a couple hours. They got a new car...well it's new to them. Apparently it's really nice. I'm pretty excited! They said if I learn to drive a stick shift I can borrow their other car. I know what I'll be doing this summer...kinda. I'll be at Aldersgate Camp! I'm extremely excited. Most likely I'll be taking care of the first aid job, but I might get to counsel a week or so. I can't wait! I can't really think of much else to update you on....I'm dreading this week coming to an end...But maybe I'll be more on top of things once we start again...
Much love!
Danielle

| it's been a long time since i posted...mainly because life has been pretty hectic. last semester was very busy, but i got through it and am looking forward to short term. i'll be spending half of january in berea and the other half in colorado. i will be downhill/cross country skiing and snowshoeing. i'm pretty excited and am sure it will be tons of fun. most of my break has been spent in my house, and i'm pretty ready to go. i love being home, but sometimes 2 weeks seems too long.
well...my guess is i probably won't be posting again until after my trip...so everyone have a great new year! i hope you had a merry Christmas. love you guys!

Tonight was the most beautiful night! The moon was big and bright. The stars were out. The temperature was warm but not hot. And I saw my first shooting star!!!!!
