Tomorrow is the last day of classes of my sophmore year! It has gone by SO fast. Is every year going to go by faster and faster?
Today was a beautiful day! As I was reading my last book assignment for the semester through half-closed eyes, I listened to the wooshing wind outside my window. The warm, sunny spring day was accompanied by pretty strong wind. At least it wasn't cold like last week!
After I struggled to stay awake while reading, I decided to take a short nap ONLY to find that my phone was missing. Great. So I trekked back to the computer lab where my phone was still there (yay!!!), checked out a book from the library for an extra credit book report, and came back to my room. After that came an eight minute nap, bdubs date with Ashley, orchestra, Disney songs in Ashley's car, IHOP devos, and now... a quick blog update before more studying and homework ensues!
Just another day on an ant hill among many.

Late Night
Late nights. My sophmore year has been filled with many nights of poring over my Greek book and notes while filling my homework out carefully. I have spent so much time translating and parsing, omai!
My friends for late night study this year are different. I have exchanged monster for cherry coke, a cheaper caffeinated alternative and discovered my new friend, cheese burger flavored doritos. I love them!
So, up til 3 in the morning, my companions helped me stay awake to finish out my homework. :)

Why "The Ant Hill"?
Welcome to my blog! This is my first step into the blogging world.
I'm sure, by now, you are wondering why I named my blog, The Ant Hill.
As I was contemplating names, a memory from Camp Northfield came to my mind which inspired such a name. The director had assigned the counselors an assignment that at the time I thought was pretty silly. He told us to watch an ant hill for about twenty minutes. We were supposed to do this probably about three different times.
As I observed a little ant hill at a sunny corner of camp, my mind drifted into thinking about what an big God I have. This little ant hill seemed much like how my life must look like to God. But yet, God knows everything about me! I'm just one person, of many, yet God knows every single detail of my life, even ones that I am not aware of yet.
So, as I post different things about my life, I am reminded I am like that little ant hill I watched at summer camp.
Psalm 139:1-3
O LORD, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.
