March 17

Waking up in a hotel makes for a better Monday for whatever reason
And then comes the impending art show set up
Pep talk from friends to talk to the scary gallery man
Talked to the guy...didn't go over so well
Toxic resin + plant galls + crazy wind storm = my afternoon
Thanks mom and grandpa!
One more week - these missionaries have to survive!
Hey, can someone help me carry eight cinderblocks, two TV's, and a bunch of other stuff?

What. A. Day.
Early Saturday at the good old training center
Is that bad that my missionaries and I have insane amounts of fun??
Obligatory grocery shopping for the French House brings back the grumps...
Good friend notices I'm a little overwhelmed, assures me its going to be a good day
I'm not convinced, but I'll go with it
Lonely times, some tears, get the idea/feeling to pray to meet someone
Good friend (same as earlier) offers me her car to get my art done
A million things in my head + driving = not a good combo:
'Obviously I should just cut through this parking lot since its faster'
'I have so much to do'
'Where will I live in the fall?'
'How am I gonna get this show up next week?'
Look left...coast is clear
Look riiii.......BAM!........oops...........hey that kid looks vaguely familiar?
Hand shakes:
'Hi I'm Sarah sorry I hit your car I promise I'm not a bad driver this isn't even my car because mine is in the shop and oh man this is bad but oh hey as it turns out you helped me with my video last semester so thanks a bunch!'
How is it possible that we are laughing right now?
How is it possible that this kid is so nice?
Oh cool those broken pieces of your car will go quite nicely in my art show! Can I have them? You should come!
Not exactly how I planned on meeting someone new...but I'll take it
Sorry good friend. Sorry new friend. Sorry dad. Sorry bank account. Sorry future plans of Europe.
Nice people abound....still a good cry was in order
Resolve.
What do I do now?
Hello temple, thank you for existing especially on days like these.
Maybe I should actually eat a meal today (11:30 PM)
Becoming Jane
Time for a new start
