i've been trying to write out my schedule for welcome week to assuage (v. to ease or lessen; to appease or pacify) the work load ahead of me. i just really need prayers that i am able to be the leader that these transfer students need. transferring to a new school is arduous (adj. strenuous, taxing; requiring significant effort) and I know that from experience. i want to be an audacious (adj. daring and fearless; recklessly bold) leader without being too over the top. i hope and pray that God speaks through me this next week. i want to positively impact the lives of these students--i want to be someone that they can come to if they ever need anything. i want my title as transfer peer leader to become axiomatic (adj. taken as a given; self-evident truth).
other than welcome week, i can't believe that my little sister is going off to college. she'll be four hours away from home. my feelings about her being far away are fairly discordant (adj. conflicting; dissonant or harsh in sound). i am so excited for her to be going to college; to finally get to be her own person and experience things out from under the wings of our parents. however, i am really going to miss her and i worry about her. not because i think she is going to pull some chicanery (n. trickery or subterfuge) when she goes off to college, but because she is my little sister! she is so pure and so innocent and i worry about what the world is going to try to persuade her to think and believe. she is so disparate (adj. fundamentally distinct or dissimilar) from most other people her age. she knows what is important in this life, and she does not waste her time with the things of this world. even though she is my little sister, i really look up to her and respect her. audrie, if you read this, please don't censure (v. to criticize severely; to officially rebuke) some things that you will come across in college. although i do not want the world to influence your beliefs, i think that it is important to experience things in life. i know that you can be fairly canonical (adj. following or in agreement with accepted, traditional standards) when it comes to things, but it's not bad to do things in an untraditional way. for example, don't be afraid to stay up late on a school night! or to eat a pint of ice cream for dinner:) that's what college is all about!! (okay, not all about but it's part of the experience) anyway, just know that whatever you are going through in life, i have probably already been through it. so never be afraid to call me, for anything!
so on a completely different note, i just want to talk about kyle and i for a bit.
if you are reading this blog and don't know me--kyle is my boyfriend/love of my life/future husband. we have only known each other for 5 months but that doesn't matter to us. from the get-go, things were completely unconventional with us. when we met, neither of us wanted to be in any sort of convoluted (adj. complex or complicated) relationship (since we had both just gotten out of one) so we started off our relationship as purely and strictly friends. we both presented ourselves in an austere (adj. without adornment; bare; severely simple; ascetic) manner because we were not trying to impress each other, which has actually served us well over our relationship. i knew within two and a half weeks of knowing him that i was going to marry him, even though he was fairly capricious (adj. inclined to change one's mind impulsively; erratic, unpredictable) with his feelings about me in the beginning. after a series of events, his true feelings were finally disabused (v. to undeceive; to set right). 5 months later, we are totally and completely in love. we are planning on getting engaged before december...but that is completely up to him (he is the one asking, haha).
anyway, take note that i used 13 new words from my GRE frequently used words list:) that almost completely catches me up for the 2 days that i missed.
