I'm sick today. I went to work anyway. I feel like crap though.

So I received my first sepina (please excuse my spelling). I have to go to court for that break in that happened awhile back. Fun stuff. Oh yeah, the house next door to us burnt down last friday. It's wierd, one day people are fixing it up, the next day it burns to the ground.

I've been thinking about the future. My roommates and I were talking about an idea we have. We may be able to stay at our house for $200 per month (each). That's cheap rent. But that means I'd be staying here in Atlanta. I know I've been going back and forth on the idea alot (and this is probably driving some of you crazy) but it's a big decision to me. It'll be the first time I perminently move out of the state (NY). I know alot of you guys want me back in Albany, and I take that into consideration. I want to be near you all. I'd miss you terribly. But if God opens up a job for me here I'm going to stay. I'm speaking to God as I type this. So, God, if you want to to stay here, open the door for me to do so. If you want me back in Albany, close the door to Atlanta. I need to make this decision by the end of May. So, there it is guys. This is a tough choice for me. And let me know what you think about it. And if you could answer this question for me: Will you still love me if I decide to stay in ATL? Be truthful. Don't use it as a pressuring tool to make me feel bad. I will take your answer seriously.

...If I stay in Atlanta I can ride my bike almost all year long. And no I don't mean bicycle. I'm looking to buy a motorcycle. Don't try to convince me otherwise about the bike. I'm stilling looking to get one even if I came back to Albany. I just will need a second vehicle.

I baught my first pair of sandals. They are one size too big. Oops. I baught 11's but 10's would fit better. I like sandals. It's good for my feet too. They need to be aired out. Keeps the stink away.

The laptop is an IBM thinkpad (I'm getting a warning about a trojan virus on the library computer). It has windows 98 on it. I could upgrade to 200 or even XP but my roommate informed me that IBM's run slow with anything later than 98. I trust his judgement. He's good with computers. I'm probably going to reinstall everything. There's alot of unwanted garbage on it. It's nothing big, just stupid small programs that I don't need. There's like 6 gig of free space. And here's the cool part. I was wondering how I would take my digital camera pictures with me. They were all on Jenn's labtop. I had nowhere to put them before, but now I do, my own labtop.

Man, God is such an awesome provider. I needed shoe's awhile back and I can't buy decent shoe's on a sixty dollar a month budget. And so, someone from my church gave me a few pairs. And one of the kids in our neighborhood, that I've come to know well, gave me some Nike Air's and Timberland boots. They're all used but I don't ever care about that. As long as I have what I need I am satisfied. The same goes for the labtop. It's old but I can still use it. I am satisfied knowing I have what I need. It may not be the best, but hey, some are far less fortunate...and we need to think of them if we have more than we need. For example, I have more shoe's than I need now. So I'm going to give the extra pairs away.

I now own a labtop. I went to a Impromtu Cafe for one of the students I teach. Ryan and I did a skit similar to those seen on "Whose Line is it Anyway". I baught three raffle tickets for one dollar each and put them into a drawing to win a labtop. My name was called. It is now mine.

...and the prayers keep being answered.

Spring Break was cool. I went to Albany. It was fun. I missed everyone and they missed me. It was fun. So now I'm back in Atlanta. Things change so fast. My friend Charlie no longer lives in our neighborhood. I have no idea where he went. All I know is that his house is boarded up and he's gone. Or laundrymat was upgraded and there's a new Target down the road from it and a new gas station next to it. Things have changed for some of the members of the team. Some good, some not so good. For me, other than Charlie being gone, everythings going well. I'm still doing all the same things, volunteer-wise. I think my future plans have changed a bit. I think I may either go back to Albany or go to Valley Forge Christian College after my year in ATL is up. Valley Forge sounds good but I wonder what the deadlines are for applying for financial aid and registering for classes. If I missed the DL then I guess I'm going back to Albany, unless God shows me otherwise.

Spring Break

I'm glad to be home. I really needed this break. It's good to see all my old friends. I'm at Joe ans Beth's house tonight. We're watching con-air. We're having pizza. We're watching a dvd later and playin' poker. It's going to be fun.

I missed my first flight. I was put on the very next flight. But instead of going to Pittsburg airport I went to Washington D.C. I got there at 11:30. (Keep in mind I was supposed to be in Albany at 2:30) I waited there in D.C. for 4.5 hours before we left for albany. We didn't leave until 4:00. I got to Albany until 6:00. But at least I got here. I'm glad to be here. I missed alot of people.
