actually, i guess i might've won ONE battle...
so the other day, i got to school quite early, a good 3.5 hours or so before my class. i was really sore from playing softball over the weekend, so my intention of working out or going running at the track didn't really push through.
so anyhow, because it was such a beautiful day out, i didn't feel like cooping myself up in the ccf office, so i decided to just lie out on the grass at York and just read. after trying to sit in the shade, i got kinda cold so i opted to go out to where the sun was. now at york, there's this commons area and this grassy part that kinda look like steps by this man-made pond. and cuz it's springtime and all, there were geese in that pond... now they were just swimmin around and all, and i was reading my book... we were leaving one another alone.
AND THEN!!! i looked up and saw two of them start heading up to the grassy area, pecking around for food... they were literally at my feet. and so i decided to move over... and continue reading. then i got kinda sleepy so i kinda dozed for a bit, only to wake up to two genius girls beside who decided to FEED the geese part of their late lunch :/ and so as you can guess, the geese came looking for more food... forcing me to move again as they inched closer and closer. so i decided to just go up further on the steps and lean against the concrete wall... but then i was in the shade and i got cold, so i moved back down... again, i commenced reading and within 15-20 mins or so... they were back!!! but seeing as to how i only had about 10 mins or so left before i had to get to class, i held my ground and didn't move even when they came closer... then they just went away. :D
yes.. that's my story of my battle with the geese at york... *shakes fist*
onto other matters. my internship placement's been secured!! *happy dance ... wait no... i don't really have a happy dance* anyhow.. starting next tuesday i will be at Hi-Octane Creative on tuesdays, wednesdays, and fridays, and probably for a few hours on mondays. but the main point is... i have an internship placement!! whoo! :) and i must say that it was truly God who prepared it. cuz in all honesty, my portfolio wasn't exactly up to the caliber i woulda liked it to be... i had to cut a buncha stuff out cuz i didn't have enough time... and i was unbelievably nervous and panicky as i was heading down there. and yet, by some miracle, when i got there, just felt this inexplicable peace, and i just felt as though the placement was already secured, even prior to the first words exchanged between the creative director and myself. God's pretty funny like that.. :)
aside from internship stuff, my summer class has been going pretty well... i've decided to make my project a magazine geared towards young Christian women ideally aged 20-25. it's entitled "Joy" and my prof seems to be cool with the idea and he's quite the encouraging about making sure it turns out to be a good piece. i'm excited about it and hope that making my project about something that's pertinent to me and my life will help it to be more than just another pretty design project... hopefully i don't hit too many creative roadblocks along the way... and yes.. i know i'm a nerd... getting all excited about my projects.. :P
anyhows, things just seem to be falling into place. and as a co-worker said to me tonight, "a lotta good things seem to be happening for you, hazel"... and i agree.. and i can't attribute it to anyone but God.. it really is awesome when you let Him take the pen and write your story. :)
