I still don't know what an Ide is, but I thought you should be warned...

Greetings and salutations all,

I'm 3 days away from spring break and holding out quite well actually (we'll see how I feel about it after my tests on Friday). I had a bunch of papers due this week originally, but they got postponed. This means that I'll be writing papers all break, but at least I'm breathing normally this week. Good enough....

I spent a lot of last week hanging out with people who were home on spring break...Jacks and Andrew were back in town...it's always great to let that trio re-unite and hash things out thouroughly. We had a great talk about everything from churches to the love lives of all the people we know. Great talk, good coffee, amazing friends...what more could I ask for?

Friday night I had a clash of my worlds...had a ton of people over for ice cream and fun...some MU people, some high school buddies, even a few church friends....it was kinda fun to introduce them to each other and then make them have fun. :) No, actually we had a blast...even when the basement flooded and put about 7 of us in our bare feet mopping up water and moving furniture. Fun times.

Sat. AM the Costerisans made a waffle breakfast for a bunch of the college kids...that was a great time of relaxation. Some of the MU girls sang in church on Sunday too...that's something I'd definitely like to do again, we had a blast. After church some of us went to stuff ourselves with Chinese food at Sakura. Believe it or not, squid is not too bad. We also had a massive spit wad war. I saw a quote this week that said, "you can only be young once, but immaturity lasts for a lifetime" ...hehe

Monday was my 19th birthday...crazy to think I could possibly be that old!! I had lunch with the girl who sits next to me in choir since we are birthday twins. Got a lot of cool stuff (including a frisbee, clothes, a CD, and a cigar...) and had mom's amazing peanut butter ice cream pie. Who needs a cake? I thought my birthday was done but at 11:15 my doorbell rang and my friends from IV were there and ready to kidnap me. They whisked me away to steak N shake, despite the fact that I was in my PJ's. They had compiled a binder of embarassing photos, birthday quotes, things people had said about me, etc. They also made me cards and etc...it was so sweet! Thanks guys!

Last night I went to a Ben Folds concert here at MU...that was pretty amazing. He is a GREAT musician...so talented, but unpolished and fun and relaxed. His lyrics are interesting, his style is so broad, and his voice is great. But man, I had trouble getting past his language and the way he flippantly used the name of Christ. One of his songs must have been submitted in a competition to see how many cuss words would fit in one song. Unfortunately that's the song he had the audience sing along to. As my classmates and hundreds of others lifted their voices I was greatly saddened. So I'm thankful for the musical element but reminded once again of how easily the devil takes the good in this life (like music) and twists it all around. hmmm....

My birthday got an unexpected extension today when I got to have breakfast with Laura Cos...always a treat and a half dearest! Anyhoo, much fun and celebration...now back to real life and tests and papers! That's all for now, gonna head out and hit those books.

Blessings on you all...keep on keeping on, and keep an eye out for those Ides...
