Diane’s World

Everybody’s Changing” is not only a good song, but one of my favorite music videos ever created:

Speaking about changing, I turned into an elf! (No way!)I’ve been checking pretty much every day for the past month waiting for Office Max to hurry up and put ELF-YOURSELF! back online. And sure enough… it appeared yesterday!!! So click on this following link to see me dance and then ELF THE HECK OUT OF YOURSELF!!!

Please feel free to share the results with me!

And yes, I know it’s not past Thanksgiving yet and elf-yourself has to do with Christmas… but this is worth it, trust me.

In school I’ve been doing ok. I’m a little stressed out with all the changes going on in my own life:

1) Applying for Grad School

2) Getting ready for Germany

3) Finishing my wonderfully full load of classes

4) Trying to be a good friend to my close friends and fellow art majors.

5) Packing up my room and preparing to leave

6) Trying to be a good leader / involved with DDL and the community

And I’m not sure how ready my heart is to leave Dordt. It seems like my natural defense is to not think about it – and I forget that in 30-something days I will be leaving what I finally settled in as “home”.

I Decided that I’m really NOT afraid of change… I’m afraid of Transitions. For example, I know I’ll love Germany, it’s just I know it’s going to be a pain in the behind to move there, get my visa, and try and adjust. Does that make sense?

Also, it bugs me that so many other seniors are talking about how they are ready to be done with Dordt and out getting a job, while I am wishing I could stay in this wonderful environment where art (by far the best major ever created HANDS DOWN no questions asked!) is endorsed, taken seriously and the only place where I can truly act myself and fit in at the same time besides at home (in Puyallup).

Someone told me something today that even though it probably wasn’t intended as a compliment, it gave me warm fuzzy feelings. It was this: “Diane, I can’t imagine you as anything BUT an art major”.

For the past year, neither could I.

I don’t have much to show as I haven’t done much art. My life has been writing papers mainly for the past few days… which is really really weird. I’m not used to paper writing. I think I may have forgotten how to do so!

Anyways, I head out to Minnesota TOMORROW! I’ll have so much to share later on! Sorry about the bland post, but my life is one very hectic mess right now.

But I’m still kicking so no worries!
Love yall!
