Sarah and the Adventure of Life

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  Jeremiah 29:11 They say there are two main types of people in the world: Type A's and Type B's. Type A's, according to Simply Psychology , are described as competitive, ambitious, impatient, aggressive, and fast-talking. Oh, and they are also plan-oriented. Ring any bells? Like any "identified" personality, the shoe doesn't always fit perfectly. I possess many traits of both Type A and Type B (which is actually pretty normal), but one thing that I do identify with is the necessity to have a plan . For anyone who knows me, I CAN operate without a plan, but my stress levels are pretty insane. I am much more comfortable with color-coded, highlighted, and precise itineraries.

Last blog post, I mentioned that I had many more adventures planned... well they happened, so here are the SparkNotes of Sarah's life for the last two months!  Almost immediately after my last blog post, a good friend and I drove down to Houston, TX. This was an interesting drive because we started our road trip right after school on Friday, which means we didn't arrive at our destination until about 2 am!! Talk about TIRED! But we made it.

The line-up was full of names I did and didn't recognize (mostly the latter), but that is what makes music festivals so much fun!

"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." -Winnie the Pooh Spring semester of senior year is always an exciting time. The end to assignments, papers, and the drudgery of school is so close we can almost taste it; however, the end to lots of other things are coming too, and that's not always an easy task to accept.  In February, I participated once again in Raider Awakening. This is the biannual retreat held by the Catholic Student Association at Texas Tech that I have been a part of since RA #52. This was RA #58! Needless to say, I've had quite a few blog posts about these special weekends.  Well, Raider Awakening #58 is very special for a number of reasons. One, I was able to be a table leader again, with an incredible partner and awesome retreaters! We all had a fantastic weekend full of love, acceptance, and learning.  Don't ask questions about the costumes Two, I got to see a lot of incredible people do i...
