Numbers?

So the second week of classes has ended. It was a long week! And I only have class three days out of the week. This semester is going to be very hard I think. Not class wise, but jsut intense. My classes are all squished together into three days and that's tiring. Then I have lots to do for IV and it's just overwhelming. OUr second week of NSO stuff has ended and I feel like we've met a lot of people, but how many are going to come to IV and small groups? Did they jsut sign up for free stuff? I don't want to get too caught up in numbers, even though it's important. I feel that as soon as we focus on the numbers and not the people, we're going to lose sight of what a small group or even IV is all about. Where's the happy medium?

Today I had to take the ferrets to the vet for their last distemper boosters. It was expensive but I'm glad they only need to get their rabies shots and then they're done for a year. Hooray!

So I'm slowly pluggin away on my STIM application. I hope I get accepted. I really hope I get to go to Bolivia too. I gave my reference part to Laura today and I'm so thankful that she's going to fill it out. I have to give one to Shane, Andrew, and the priest at church. I just became a member there so I don't know if he'll be able to answer the questions entirely. Maybe I'l set up a meeting with him and talk to him and then he'll know where to go from there. But I've been going to the church for about a year and I cosnider mysefl a member. Is that all that really counts? I don't know.

Tonight I think I might do some homework and read. It'll be a nice relaxing night.

Well that's all I've got for now.

PEACE
