The End.

P.S.

Onto other notes, school is going well. I love all of my professors. I am especially interested in the Greek Mythology that we are studying in World Literature. Its interesting to imagine that people at one time could believe in a god who would turn into a swan and rape a mortal. When I am going through the list in my head of attributes that what would make a "good" god, for some reason that one just never really enters my mind. Nonetheless, it is terribly fascinating.

I have also fallen in love with the Russian language. It is beautiful, and insanely difficult. It took me 15 minutes to learn to write my last name in Russian. You see, Karolina is a decently popular name and very easy to spell, but Singletary? When I finally figured out which letters were equivalent, I had created a terrifying word. I feel sorry for anyone who has to read it, frankly.

Another interesting note, a rumor wiggled its way back to me, as rumors somehow always manage to do. Without naming names, someone thought that from a "conversation" (I'm assuming this conversation occurred in this person's head) with me (again, I'm not exactly sure how I ended up talking to this person in their head, but I'm an open-minded person, I won't really question this too much) that I was pro-choice. Now, if you actually know me, you might find this humorous. I admit, after I was appalled at myself for being pro-choice, I had to laugh. Oh, the irony. I have done a lot of volunteer work at a few local pro-life crisis pregnancy centers, and I am a member of Bound 4 Life at Kennesaw State, a non-violent organization that protests at abortion clinics. I cannot imagine how shocked and disappointed they will be when they find out that I am pro-choice.

I might be considered a moderate (and I secretly wish I was a hippie), but there is one thing that I am resolutely conservative on, and that is that I am very pro-life. It disappoints me that someone would feel the need to create this rumor and spread it to important people in my life, but it doesn't really matter. It has not achieved any agenda that they might have had. I really pity them for feeling such desperate measures neccesary. It really only reflects onto them and their reputation rather than onto mine. (What goes around comes around.) Not to mention, it is just bad karma. Did I mention this girl does not even really know me? Nonetheless, I am praying for the grace to treat them with love next time we meet.

I enjoyed a beautiful day today. I finished the book, "Blue Like Jazz" by Donald Miller. I must say it might be my favourite book on spirituality. I highly recommend it to anyone who has not read it. I really had a moment where I "grasped" the idea of loving people. I want to love people, and love all people, unconditionally. Not unconditionally the way religious people use this word, which I think is more figuratively or in reference to only Christ's love, but unconditionally as in, I want to literally love people without any conditions. No matter what religion, sexual orientation, financial background and situation, no matter what marital status, or gender...I know, completely radical. But I think it can be done.

I am still job-hunting. Nothing is looking very promising at the moment. I have applied at several places, so we will see if anything surfaces.

I do not mention David much in this blog, but just to let you know, we have now been dating for fourteen months and are still incredibly happy. Our relationship never ceases to remind me of the beauty of life and that their is someone much bigger out there than me.

"I am thinking its a sign that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images
and when we kiss they are perfectly alligned
I have to speculate that God himself
did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzles pieces from the clay"

I wish you all a beautiful weekend.

Peace, love, happiness, and truth to all of you.
