Wednesday marked my final class for this Spring and the end of 5 hour classes for me! You have no idea how hard 5 hour classes can be. I have had about 6 now in my Masters work(6 separate classes meeting 10 times per semester. I don't even want to think about how much time that adds up to. Wait... that's easy; 300 hours) Ugh. I have one class to take this summer and, baby, I am finished. Then I will Stephanie, BFA, MA. Yes! It will be good to be done.

Last night I went to dinner and a movie with a friend from church. We decided to see Friends with Money. It was pretty good; very realistic. These people have relationships like I have never had and hope I never do. The annoying thing to me is that it used one particular curse word over and over. No matter how much I hear that particular word, I can't get used to it (not that I need to). It must be my good, old-fashioned upbringing.

Tonight I watched The Constant Gardener here at home. This is a truly wonderful movie. Don't let the title fool; it's not slow paced and boring although it's not an action movie either, it's just... good and very compelling. It makes you wonder how much of it is based on facts. It wouldn't surprise me.

On a different note, Haiti has been weighing heavily on my mind lately. For those that don't know, I went there in 2004 with a group from my church. It's indescribable. The people are just beautiful and they have to live in such horrid conditions. I had been on many mission trips in my life but this was my first true experience in a different country. Life-changing is the only way I know to describe it. Life is never quite the same inside your head. The orphanage that my church helps support is possibly trying to move the kids out of the country. It's really bad there right now; I keep reading about it on news sites. Please please pray for this orphanage. They are the most wonderful kids in the world and they need help. I just want them to be safe. Pray that God provides a way.
