I just finished reading a wonderful book called The Poisonwood Bible. Barbara Kingfisher is an amazing author whose style of writing fairly flows off the page and plays before the mind's eye. I enjoyed it so much that my eyes practically devoured the words and I had to fight with myself to even set it down. It is a fictional novel about a missionary family that is dragged by their overpious father to the jungles of the Congo to convert the "heathen" tribes but each member inevitably ends up adapting to the beat of Africa's heart or falling to ruin. The ways of the world truly is a religion that runs stronger and more deeply then any words set on a page by man could ever hope to emcompass. To feel the breath of nature or look into a child's innocent eyes is to know what God's plan truly is.

Thank you Emily for recommending this book to me. It has definitely found a place among my favorites.

I am wearing the most confused outfit at collee today. It consists of my purple flowered ankle length skirt with a long sleeved shirt borrowed from Asher with skulls across the front and the finishing touch is the black pants under the skirt to keep me warm and comfy. And that I am! Lol I scoff in fashion's face.

I think I have finally completed my schedule for next spring. There are a few details I need to check with my counselor for authorization because I slightly flubbed a few things to make them work such as scheduling the juniors session of honors colloquim instead of the sophomore but I think it will be alright.

Alright, just finished my psych paper in record time. Go me! Right off to chem lecture now...

So busy!

I am so looking forward to this thanksgiving vacation! Even if it is only four days and two of them consist of driving... I deserve a break. =)
