biola biola :)

i'd like to just start out saying that blogging is stressful haha. seriously it gets me stressed just thinking about it. but i love it too so its so hard.
anyways haha
i'll give you a preview of whats been going down in la mirada.
all of last week was super stressful. so much reading!!!!
i am getting involved with a small group here on campus and i'm LOVING IT!
we had a dorm competition aka so much fun... for dodgeball! all the dorms were different colors and horton was black. we were such beasts. we didn't win, freaking hope did... but still we were so hardcore. after dodgeball all of us OLIVE girls (my floor) went to the store and bought tons of ice cream and ate it on the grass infront of it haha. so gross and fatty.
on friday we had a fashion show for the 100 year of biola. people designed all sorts of cool clothes for the centinial year!!! and there were rapperrrrs there haha SOO FUNNY... everyone like stormed near stagged and just started dancing- which is one of the things we shouldnt be doing here at biola, but i feel like they are becoming more layed back about that issue. and thennnn after the fashion show there was another band...not rapper, they were kind of like the strokes. it was so freaking fun. and then i went to downtown disney!!!
and get thisssss. i saw melanie and the whole binzoni family!!! so crazy. ah i love God's timing. i was so hungry so i walked out of espn where all my homies were... and then bamb there was melanie. i pretty much tackled her i was so excited, but still it was so overwhelming. it was so comforting too.
yesterday i kind of layed around until my mom came to see me. shes going to palm desert for a week. we went to downtown disney again and i got my disneyland passport!!! so i can go to disneyland whenever i want haha. and oh man i am so stoked about that. and then last night there was a soccer game... the girls won against oregon tech. after that i layed on the field and talked/laughed with people forever and then returned to my room to do anthropology hw (which i LOVE).
this morning i was suppose to go to church but i woke up as they were leaving. which was actually a total blessing. i woke up and holly micheff called adn was like angela i need to go to biola, i feel like god has it on my heart. and all this crazy cool stuff and we had such a rad conversation. and the cool thing was that yesterday i texted her being like holly this place is totally for you! and she was like ehhhh maybe... because her heart has been set on davis. anyways it was cool.
after that i went to the prayer chapel on campus and just had an amazing time being with God. its kind of hard being here in the sense that everyone is a christian or says that they are. i love talking to nonchristians and being around them. i just love it. and its also so important to have fellowship with christians but when you are a chrisitan school sometimes you don't realize how fortunate you are. it was cool though just reading through John adn then psalm 96. it was rocking me. just glorifying God in everything you do! thats all he wants first. for us to give him glory. and then i saw a girl playing the guitar. shes an ICS maybe too and shes from compton. anyways we had a really encouraging talk about what God was doing in our lives. ah i loved it. so it was good i didn't go to church this morning. i needed alone time with God.

things to prayyy:
a job- i'm desperate and i've applied all over the place on campus. i didn't get one of them so i'm praying about the others.

yuppp and just to focus on Christ always.
p.s. i have this rad class called foundations of global studies that is totally changing the way i feel and think about things. its crazy. i'll write a blog just on that haha.

p.s.s. i miss you guys and thanks for your prayers!
