*ONE person I want to see right now

1. Oh wow, one person? That's crazy! I decline.

I hope midterms aren't making y'all crazy! Mine probably should be making me stressed or something, but hey, life's too short to be worried about silly tests :-) (this is perhaps not the best philosophy to adopt on this particular day- oops). Please, please, please pray for me, y'all. I have some hefty decisions that have to be made pretty soon, like this week, and I really want to make sure I'm doing what God wants. It's kind of risky (ok, big-time risky), but if that's what God has for me, He'll make it work, right? Right. Ok kids, time to go do rounds and make sure these psycho Wells kids aren't torching the place or playing golf/tennis/frisbee in the halls or mattress surfing...
