Senioritis

Yesterday somewhere between 34 and 37 tornadoes touched down in my area of the world. I'll be honest, I got scared at one point. My boyfriend and I were driving to our friend's house who are older and have a basement and a great outlook on life. He had the radio on and would turn it down occasionally while his mother called with updates she was watching two hours away safe in her basement. Then the sirens started and the rain hit. And that's when minor panic set in. I didn't do anything, I just looked at Kyle with something resembling a scared rabbit look.
"Don't worry, we'll make it there in time." he said, holding my hand. I still put my head on his shoulder tho as it seemed a more safe position than sitting up ;-)
We made it to Pat & Dudley's basement and our friend Amber was already there. We squeaked in between the two massive storm systems and while we waited to make sure no more fronts were headed our way watched the devastation of the areas around us.
We were still able to go to a party that evening that some of his friend's from college were hosting. It was really fun. They all went to the same Christian college. To be honest, they make me kind of envious. They have all been out of school for about three years and still meet up every month, sharing food and stories and having fun times. They are all laid back but still trying to live the Christian life. Obviously they aren't perfect, but it was such a different feel from any of the gatherings that I've ever gone to with people from my school.
Anyway. I stayed at one of their houses and Kyle went to his buddy's cabin in the woods for the night, and then we drove back to the 'Ville this morning. I had to work and he graciously waited for me and rescued me from eating cafeteria food. Instead we went and got Cajun.
He left in the evening after we got Amber and got some Italian frozen yogurt. Mmm. They let me pick it over DQ, even though I know they preferred the pure unhealthiness of ice cream with cookies and chocolate instead of bizarre plant-flavored yogurt ;-)
Aaaand then he left and Amber is Skyping some good friends of hers and I have been trying to wade through my theology homework. I rewarded myself after each chapter I read by watching a segment of Iron Man 2, which I haven't seen yet.
I feel like such a horrible Bible College student: I hate the Theology classes. I LOVE the Bible classes, but I detest studying Theology as a formal discipline. The reading is boring and the professor I'm taking right now is ALL lecture. And its not funny engaging lecture, its like the theology book narrated type lecture. *sigh* And I ought to enjoy it. My soul should delight in such things. But honestly I'd rather read Ecclesiastes straight through five times than read a chapter of my Theology homework or have to sit in the class for another 3 hour segment. Which is all very terrible of me.
And my boyfriend and parents keeps reminding me: you are down to counting just WEEKS until graduation, just a few more WEEKS! You can make it! This too shall pass!

Yeah... and then what?
Still don't know.
I know I know. NO ONE does. But still. I went into this with a plan. All that has fizzled and I haven't any explanation for it other than, "God isn't leading me that way right now. He knows what He's doing, but He hasn't let me in on it yet."
*sigh*
So yeah.
I guess I"m about to be introduced on Skype to Amber's friend. More later.
But yeah for all those concerned, I am FINE from the Tornadoes!!!
