como te va?

so i guess its my turn to update all of you on my life since the quarter started.

well, its been good. i’ve just been reading a lot of books about capitalism, speaking some italian, and learning about what being deviant REALLY entails (according to my class, ANYONE could be deviant… it all depends on what the norm is and what your definition of deviance is… weird, right?).

i’ve recently become a lot more structured. i use my planner a lot more, sticky notes are my new best friend (sorry tiff…), i find myself planning my day in my head… it kind of goes like this “ok, marsha, when you get home you’re gonna go on facebook for a bit, then take a shower, then cook dinner, and then study… and then maybe go to the IMA…” and it continues. or ends. depending on the day.

i’ve also realized my OCDness over cleanliness. and its hard, especially living in a house with a bunch of people who are also as busy, or busier than me… and sometimes i just gotta give it up and kind of realize that i won’t die if there’s a little more dust than i would like on the floor. all i know, is that my own household will be ridiculously clean. living with people takes a lot of giving up, because i can’t demand constant 100% contentedness… is that a word?

so, er, new hobby. swing dancing! i love it! one of the best things i my life, currently… and ya know, i’m getting better every night! so, come dancing with me sometime and i promise you’ll have a good time… as long and you know how to laugh a little and can rock-step.

as for God. God is good, all the time! but sometimes the life as a Christian isn’t always the easiest. i’m honestly not a very insecure person… i consider myself relatively confident in the things i do. but lately i’ve become increasingly insecure about the silliest things, relationships…. other things. and i’m just so much more sensitive about the things i do/say… i mean, i think its important to always become a better person, but at this point i don’ know if it’s God’s way of molding me into who i should be. or if it’s just one of those weak stages in life… that happen. all i can do is pray that God may have his will. its tough sometimes… i shouldn’t expect constant approval from the people around me, but sometimes its good to hear that i’m ok…

music-wise
theres this song called “Hologram” by Katie Herzig. HA! its amazing!

anyway. that is life currently…  i’m gonna go upstairs to see who lurks in the kitchen…

hope you are all well.
