Don't be misled from the title. I didn't actually run in a marathon, nor will I ever.

Today I was thinking about my life in this 2013-2014 school year, and how I feel like everyday is a marathon. I'm constantly going, and there are constantly things I need to be prepping for. I am someone that thrives off of being productive and constantly doing something, which can be good and bad. I just have to make sure I always have my head above water. I experienced a lot of sweet tender mercies that helped me keep me head on straight and realize all I am blessed with.

So now an update on the rest of my week.

1. Remember how I applied for a job as a tutor? Well they contacted me and said they would like for me to come in for an interview!!! Yay!! Happy day! I will be going in tomorrow (Monday). Thankfully, I am not really nervous. If I don't get the job, whatevs. If I do, it will be a great growing experience!

2. Thursday night we were invited to a "weekly movie night"! Although there wasn't much watching the movie because everyone was quoting the lines before they were said. Plus a lot of side conversations. What do you expect when you have a big group of people watching a movie though??

3. I usually have practicum Friday but my partner got really sick, so instead I got to go to dollar lunch, devotional, and watch dance videos on youtube. Later that evening I got a lot of motivation so I whipped out a ton of homework!

4. Friday night everyone was gone (AB at her parents, and Syd in Mesa), so Steph and I watched a walk to remember (my favorite movie) while eating Sonic!!

5. Saturday morning I woke up early to get fit and go caving!! We met some friends at the institute and then drove in a 15 passenger van (with 16 people) to Peppersauce. I absolutely loved it! It had rainned that morning so some parts were muddy, but for the most part it was just really dusty. It really challenged me, which is why I loved it so much. There were times were you had to turn your body to the side while trying to army crawl to get through a "rabbit hole". Other times we would have to jump down a rock/slide yourself down the walls hoping you wouldn't fall. Or pull yourself up on slippery rocks. It was so fun though! I would do it again!!
