Crash

Well, welcome to the blog of the "new and improved" Tanya. It's taken quite a bit to get me here. I've always been a rather blessed person with great opportunities, and an ability to avoid trouble. God's saved me on more than one occasion and I've taken it rather lightly.

That is changing now. Yesterday, I could have died. Yesterday my car hit a semi-trailor. Yesterday, I totalled my car. Yesterday, I walked away from the accident. I don't know why God chose to save me, but he did. Now I have to face the consequences of my actions. I have no car, which is a big deal for me. I've very independant. I like to be the one driving. I'll have to spend money that was yes set aside for a car, but not yet. Instead of taking my time and finding what I really want for the best possible deal, I'll have to get whats avialable. I don't know how I'm going to get to work or if my parents will even let me stay at home.

What will I do? The only thing I can. TRUST in God, wholeheartedly, not just on the surface level, but with all I have.

College Life

Right now I'm sitting in a coffee shop at midnight working on homework, listening to the odd combination of music they are playing. I'm drinking a caffe latte with two good friends. This is what college is all about. It's not the homework that I'm doing that I will remember in 10 years, its the fun I'm having with my friends. Its the way we pause, to make a random comment about our homework. The way that Hannah mouths the words she is writing as she writes them makes me smile. The way that Daniel stops and stares at his laptop for a moment or two before beginning to go back to work, is funny. I wonder whats going on in his brain. How about the way I sit here over-anaylizing this. I want to just enjoy the moment. I have to write about it, I don't want to forget. My life is so influenced by these people, they make me who I am, or who I will be. In highschool this is what I thought college was really about. Now that I'm here its almost surreal. It's sad to think that in only 4 months this will be over. I don't want to grow up. I want to stay at this point in life forever.

Touring

So the other day I was giving a tour to two baseball players from Iowa - the land of nothing. It was a fun tour, although they didn't hear about as much of the school as i usually talk about. I don't think they minded. In fact they stayed the whole day and I saw them again at dinner. Afterwards one of the guys asked for my e-mail. :)
Then he actually IMed me. How cool is that. It never happens! Although he lives in another state so that may be why. Oh well, we'll see what happens. We've been chatting for a really long time tonight. We have a lot in common. Hopefully he'll come to MoBap and I can get the opportunity to know him in person.

Blah, blah, blah

I'm in class. We had test. It was boring. Okay enough of the three word sentences. I got back to school late last night, when I walked into my room who was there go greet me? James Dean and Elvis. They startled me, then I set my stuff down and turned around, once again I was greeted by a dead celebrity. Marilyn Monroe was in front of the closet. My roommate makes me laugh.

I fell on Elvis today as I was getting out of bed. If someone had to catch me at least it was someone cool ;)

Today we hung out most of the day, its cool. I'm just sad that now after living together most of the semester we're finally becoming friends. I still don't know where I'm going to live next semster. It would be sad to leave my roommmate now that we're getting to be friends.

Thanks

Thanksgiving was today. It was really nice, my whole family was together. We haven't been for a couple weeks with me at school. I didn't do any of the homework I had intended to start on, but thats okay. I'll do it tommrow. I love my family. I'm finally mostly an adult in their book. Now my parents offer me coffee. Thats how I know I'm grown up. In a family that doesn't drink,coming of age happens in other ways.

Off to bed now, I've fallen into the trap that is "Day After Thanksgiving Sales", which means a 5 am wake up.
