Bueno, no sé donde he estado, pero realicé la otra día que no hay TRES semanas de escuela como pensaba. Solamente dos. Y este significa que tengo solamente uno fin de semana para preparar mi tonta presentación de español...
Tengo nuestro prueba sobre la última capítulo del libro de texto mañana, y por eso hoy acabé del libro de trabajo y lab manual en la Red. Después, me trajo al principio - "Ante Todo" - las primeras cosas que hicimos en la clase de español. ¡Hace dos años! ¿Realmente hace dos años? Me sorprende todo que hemos aprendido, pero todavía hay tanto a aprender. ¡Tiempo de immersión!

Well, I don't know where I've been but I realized the other day that there are NOT three weeks of school left like I thought. Only two. Which means I only have one weekend to put together my silly spanish presentation. (In this context, silly means time-consuming and unexciting.)
Tomorrow we have our test over the last chapter of the Spanish textbook so today I finished the online workbook and lab manual. After I submitted the last assignment it took me back to "Ante Todo" - the very first stuff we ever did in Spanish class. Two years ago! Has it really been two years?? I'm pretty amazed with all the stuff we've learned since then but there is so much to learn, still. Immersion time!!

Man, I have had this massive sweet tooth lately. Every night I feel like I could eat 57 cookies - it's really bad. (And I wonder why I have cavities.) But I'm also feeling this sweet tooth for God, which is pretty cool. Especially because a sweet tooth is never satisfied! I love how the more you get of God, the more you want, so I'm hoping this craving will turn into some really good habits. Go get you some spiritual cookies, people!
"How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" (Psalm 119:103)

Cookies, and the Reasons We Eat Them

Hace una semana que tengo agujeros en mis oídos, y nada mal todavía. Me duele un poquito uno de mis oídos cuándo muevo el pendiente. Probablemente va a caerse o algo.
Ayer, di una presentación oral en Español (completo con PowerPoint). Pasé todo el día antes memorizando el discurso de 6 minutos, porque no podemos leer de nuestras notas. Bueno, pienso que el discurso fue bien, pero hablaba muy rápida... así la clase probablemente no entendió mucho.
English Version
I've made it through a week of having holes in my ears - so far so good. One of my ears hurts a little when I move the earring. It's probably about to fall off or something.
Yesterday I gave an oral presentation in Spanish (complete with PowerPoint). I spent the previous day, in its entirety, memorizing the 6-minute speech because we weren't supposed to read from our notes. So I think I did well, I just talked really fast... so the class probably didn't catch half of it.
Stuff I'm Not Going to Translate into Spanish
Somehow I came across these articles today and found them fascinating. (Yes, now I want to be an astronaut.)
NASA telescope sees black hole gulping remote star
Space cuisine: beyond freeze-dried ice cream
24 Hours of Chaos: The Day the Moon Was Made
The little bit of His creation that God allows us to see (and possibly understand) is incredible. What I find sad is that these articles so readily deny His existence. Notice how in that last one, the latest developments which finally seem to show "that the Moon could have formed when a Mars-sized object hit a fully formed Earth" are "comforting." Comforting? They make you comfortable, because now there's not that possibility of a God who formed everything, right? Because now your science explains everything, and you don't have to worry about some Higher Being watching you?
I admire Jenn (and this Jen too) a lot for the Spiritual analogies she comes up with. But now I feel one coming on. ;) Let's be stars that dare to travel too close to the black hole of God's overwhelming love. Often we give Him just pieces of our lives, but with each piece that is no longer ours but becomes part of Him, we get closer to perfection. He consumes us, and He is irresistible. And one day He will have our whole lives - but in the meantime, we'll keep drawing others to Christ through His overwhelming love.
Ok, I totally want to know what it's like to get eaten by a black hole now.
