Well, tomorrow I leave for a week of video shooting and live-production at camp. I’m sure you can taste my excitement. I don’t have much to do today. I drove Dad and Deb to the airport at 4:00 this morning. It was raining. A lovely driving experience in NJ. So, I’ll be at camp for a week while they’re in Colorado. Ugh…
I just finished Captivating, the women’s Wild at Heart. It was really quite good. I recommend it. For men too. It definitely reminded me of my passion for women. Made that whole thesis thing look a little more appealing…that’s going to be a very big project.
I’m feeling rather discouraged. I miss people who know me. I miss feeling normal. I miss talking. I know that it’s ultimately my responsibility to be me, but I feel rather oppressed and persecuted for who I am. It’s stupid. I’m praying against my fear and loneliness, but I’m not sure what else I should be doing. I know my security and worth come from God, but how do I live that? Life…
Um…I want to be back at school. Now. I want to see Israel everyday. I want to knit with Evie. I want to have weekly chat times…of course everyone I had those with is either gone or will be living in my room…I want to live with Caryn. I want to plan At the Well. I want to work on my thesis, even though it’s going to stress me out like nothing else. I want to be back in my life. Isn’t it strange how your life shifts to this place you have to leave every year. And it’s our last year…wow. I won’t think of it now.
So, you should post a comment because I’m lonely…and apparently needy. I’m not ashamed. I’m much happier with you all in my life. I hope God doesn’t take you all from me to teach me dependency on him…well, if he really wants to I guess I’ll be okay.

Dani,
I don't know you very well, but today I discovered Evie's blog and then linked to yours. It feels weird--like I am invading something personal but I suppose thats the way online journals work. Anyway, I just said a little prayer for you and wanted you to know it.

dearest Dani,
I e-mailed you today but I don't know if you'll get it for a while. Should have read this first I guess. I miss you terribly and am very much counting down the weeks until I get to share a room with you. Hope the trip goes well. It's ok to be lonely, I agree with Evie that this time is going to be used by God. My loneliness seems so vast here. Thinking of you and praying for you. Love and hugs!
Dani, I miss you. When you come home, we should have a saimin-and-Friends party. Except it doesn't have to be Friends. Maybe...Gilmore Girls.
Anyway, come home soon, okay?
