Ok, Kendra... I had totally forgotten about smunk, but now that you've reminded me, I'm going to deliberately find ways to incorporate that amazing word (and it's context) into my everyday vocabulary. Starting now...
hey girls, I feel all smunky. You know why? Well, today, I received the list of the people who are going to live on BASE this year. Don't get me wrong, I am very, very excited, but my excitement was suddenly replaced with anxiety, fear, nostalgia and finally, hunger. So then I ate a fried banana with some honey (smelled smunky good) that my mom conjured up, as if sensing that her offspring was in need of sustenance.
anyways, where was i? oh yeah... the realization that I am going to be the RA...not Erin. And I realized how weird that is. I'm sure that the new girls of BASE will be great, but really, the comraderie (Carissa help, I can't spell) that we had last year is irreplaceable. I know deep down that I cannot recreate something that came so naturally.
Ultimately all this anxiety is pointing in one direction: up. Once again I'm reminded that I certainly cannot depend on myself, but I have to depend and fully rely on God, otherwise, I am going to lose it. I am so nervous and sad and happy and excited. If it wasn't for the LORD and for prayer, I would be torn apart by all these emotions that I'm feeling. My mind is reeling from the profusion of emotional stimuli.
Anyway, a BASE reunion is due...and soon.
Also, can someone get somebody to post our beloved quotebook?
toodles,
Linell

comradery is the english spelling;
camaraderie is the cooler, french spelling.
