life anew

I am such a slacker. Let's just start out with that. And let's also make a prediction that it will again be another month before I post again...
having said that, here is the update from the last month:
I went to Orlando with my roomie... and that was about the last time that we got along. Living with people is so complicated! I think the best roomies I ever had were Noell, Amy (and Teri). Where are more people like you guys?!?! I need a new roomie! So, that is a little stressful... but just a couple more months and then the lease is over... so just pray for us to make it through the next couple of months without killing each other.
I heard from Princeton... didn't get in. I know God has a plan for my life, I'm just really starting to wonder what it is. I know Princeton isn't it, after being denied twice. Although they do say third time's the charm...
Was thinking about applying to San Francisco... but...
I got a new job! I am really loving it so far, even with the getting up early in the morning part (shock of shocks, I know). I am working for Fidelity Bank, at a branch in Roswell, and it is superb. The people that I work with are wonderful, the customers that come in to the bank are wonderful, and I can have a social life again! I had orientation the beginning of the week and then was in the branch for the rest of the week. And then next week I'm back down at corporate for official teller training and then I'm back to the branch as a full-time teller starting on the 1st.
I am still attempting to work a couple of nights at the restaurant for some extra cash. We'll see how that goes.
I am looking to buy a home... more with that as it progresses.
So, right now, I'm just going to be a regular person in a "regular" job and volunteer at the church and see how it goes...
So, that's the skinny for now. Hope all is well with you all!
Blessings, kates :)

long lost blog

I talked to Noell last week. And it suddenly dawned on me how important writing about the nothingness going on in my life really is to my friends out there who worry about me. So, here I am, blogging to let you know that I am alive.
The quick update is this. I applied to Princeton Theological Seminary and am awaiting the response. I visited the campus a couple weekends ago and really liked it and could see myself there. We will just have to see if God sees me there too.
Ever since the whole MCA thing I have been kind of wondering around in a fog about life. Well, I want to get out of the fog. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated (as would enabling comments on my stupid blogger page!).
That's about all I know at the moment. I am going to veg out a little longer before going to bed. Tomorrow begins a long string of shifts at the restaurant. Gotta get some zzz's. Night.

Ferris Bueller said it best...

... life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it. I guess I stopped for awhile and that's why I haven't been blogging. Truth of the matter is, life came to a screatching halt back in October when I had my MCA. MCA? What is that you ask... well, it stands for mid-course assessment, which is basically Columbia's way of making sure you come out a shining star. They told me that they would not let me graduate at this time and told me to take a year off... not an optional year off, but a mandatory year off. And that was the end of Columbia...
In other news, Ted's is going well and I moved into an apartment over the weekend with my friend Staci, whom (that's for Ter) I met at Ted's. It's a pretty sweet apartment. I like it...
Well, I would love to say more at the moment, but I must work on stupid exams for my stupid classes at this stupid school...
