I spent Spring Break in Washington DC this year taking a
weeklong course on all things political.
It was pretty balanced politically but basically I learned that big
government, little government, or even compromise won’t create the perfect
solution. This is rather
depressing EXCEPT then I remembered there is another solution that works
perfectly and it is a heavenly government. And some day it will happen and we won’t need healthcare
because there won’t be sickness, and we won’t need to pay taxes because, well,
Jesus already paid all that needed to be paid.
Other things:
The UNM Lobo’s men’s basketball team is really good.
Actually that might not be true but they somehow win a lot of games and one of
the highlights of my semester was going to their home games. On the other hand I’m glad I didn’t get
into this earlier because the stress is just too much for me sometimes. Now is March Madness and I hope I
can handle it, I did just download the app so I can track the team. Go Lobos! But Jesus is better than the Lobos winning.
I graduate in less than two months. WHAT?!? I know time flies, and then you have to
do something else with yourself. I
do have a job currently and yesterday they offered me a fulltime position. The offer made me want to cry (not from
excitement) and that probably isn’t the right response. Basically I have no desire to work
fulltime, and working fulltime from home would most likely drive me crazy. So if you have some other amazing idea
for me please share, it’s called “networking” up until the point when it
becomes “harassing.” On a side
note one of my professors just tried to talk me into going for a PhD, she asked
me if I like writing because there’s a lot of that involved. I wanted to ask her if her writing
requirements are similar to blogging, I have a feeling they’re not. But Jesus is better than the perfect
job.
I’m still working 1) brightening the lives of our children’s
futures with crazy people at MATCHNM.org 2) being a graduate assistant for a
professor on campus, she is actually currently my favorite person because she
rarely has any work for me to do and I still get paid 3) doing computer work
for my old job in San Ramon 4) doing computer work for my parents to cover my
cell phone bill 5) dog-sitting.
But Jesus’ work is better than mine.
Spring Break wasn’t all depressing politics. I got to stay
with my friends the Handfields for most of the time learning all about raw milk
and Curious George’s trip to the hospital. I also got to go to New York for all of 48 hours and force
the Suns to celebrate my birthday with me by eating way too much dessert (if
there is such a thing). We also
saw Spider-Man the musical and, if you can get past the bad music and plot, it
was quite entertaining.
But Jesus is better than Spider-Man and Curious George combined.
I’m attaching a picture of a group of us girls from New
Mexico in front of the Washington Monument. It’s more exciting than my stalker photo of Paul Ryan.
