A gift for Five people

I saw this on what, like three, other people's blogs and I like making stuff. A lot of me hesitated to put this up because of different reasons. Partially because I haven't blogged in so long. But I look forward to making people stuff!

The first 5 people to respond to this post will get something made by me! Lucky you!

My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!

2. What I create will be just for you.

3. It'll be done this year.

4. You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story. It may be poetry or an article on properly cleaning your face before a mask. I may sew or paint something. I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!

5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange. The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it!

I'll have time to do it over the summer, that's for sure! I didn't get an internship at WIPP like I had hoped to. I didn't expect to be as upset as I was when I found out, but it didn't take too long to be okay with it. It will be weird not to work this summer. My mom was right when she said recently that I am happier when I have things to attend, work to do, things planned. I have a hard time when it comes to having free time. I really would like to know better how to relax. I'm trusting God to show me.

So instead of work, I'll be going to Mexico City for two weeks from May 12th to May 26th. I'm excited, but I think I'm more afraid of eating or drinking something infected. I have heard stories. But when I realized I was fearing these things, I remembered that I need to give those anxieties up to the Lord since I can only make wise choices and trust that He'll protect me and others as we're there. I mean, really, I believe God wants me to pray for those we'll meet and be joyful about the trip, not in constant fear of the unknown. That's a waste of time and energy.

And I get to go to California to visit one of my sisters, Allison. Anyone who's been around me for a little while lately knows I'm going because I don't fail to mention it, haha. And then I might go to Indiana in July...still need to figure that one out.

The March of Dimes was held yesterday and I was excited to actually turn in support money to them, because I had never asked people for donations before. I mean, in that way and in such short time. 7.5 miles was a good walk to make, whew! I was very happy to run into a friend of mine, Christine, and talk to her the whole walk and make it go by faster. It felt really good to stop walking and to sit down!

Goodness, there's only two weeks of classes left, but I look forward to them, honestly. Hehe, I have to laugh at the subject of the research journal article I'm reading for my Math Bio class...carnivorous snails in NW Tasmania. Who knew there were big carnivorous snails in the world that people have to plan around when harvesting forests? I'm still not sure why they want to protect those rare animals. I've enjoyed the Math Bio class...it made me think and try harder. I'm going to be taking on the two math classes I have been avoiding for so long. Theory and proof classes, here I come. I'm pretty excited to see where I'll be in a year from now.
