THAT was easy.

june 4 - june 10th = a loverly little experience called student project.
(a week long campaign helping out mr.dean scontras who ran for congress.)

now If i described to you the things we filled up our time with during student project you might think something along the lines of "wow, that sounds like a load of fun......NAWT."
but,see, we would only feel that way about all the work we did during SP if we were doing it for ourselves.
for our own pleasure....amusement....etc.
and you wouldn't think things like that if you were doing it for someone other than yourself. someone bigger and better and stronger.
and we had prayed that we'd do all our work for God.
i don't know about everyone else but i know that i did.
because everytime i think about SP i think abotu an amazing time that i miss. clearly, if i were doing all that work for myself, i WOULDN'T miss it whatsoever. I'd be like "wow that was hard and tiring and just blaaaaa."
so, i guess, now ive experienced the difference between how you feel when you accomplish stuff for yourself and when you accomplish it for God.

(btw, i am NOT saying that when you do things for God its NOT hard and tiring. beleive me, student project was tiring.=p
but it was great fo sho.)

another pretty nifty thing is....
no matter what happened it was a win-win situation.
if scontras lost, which he did, you can still know that your work wasnt in vain and you did your very best (still going along with the whole do-it-for-God thing.)
and if he wins....than GREAT. our candidate won AND we tried our best.

i wont go off about summers winning.
cause like i said, this is indeed a win-win situation, so to speak.
so "winners" shouldnt complain.
if you follow me ...?

but anyhow...

here's a link to an album of pictures from the campaign.
dude, how the heck do you spell campaign anyway...?
whatever.

change

whoa. whoa. whoa.
I have to distort my brain into a weird position to grasp this.
okay, lemme backup....


I have been homeschooled since I started school.

this spring my parents decided I need more structure and motivation and challange in my schooling.

I decided that I agree fully.

they decided that I'd either end up in a more sructured homeschool program or a certain private school that is about 10 minutes away.

as of about 20 minutes ago.....I will not be homeschooled next year.
