No.. think of it this way. A furry beast with claws dwelling in the hall; he hears a sound and realizes that there is someone behind the door. The door is closed so he tears and rips with his claws at the ground pulling the carpet and carpet padding out from under the door hoping to somehow find a way through that door.

Unless I get married from now until August 2014 and *willingly move out of the Nordic, I am definitely pursuing a master's degree on Sept 2014. Lol

Top two choices: University of Roskilde for Social Entrepreneurship
and Lund University for Strategy.

Will start to apply next week. Yay!

You could do both. Get married and get your masters.

Yay I got a job interview!   I can't remember when my last one was.

I thought I wouldn't get called back.. but apparently I got a phone call this afternoon when my phone was in the other room.

Woo!    

Sharon, I expect you'll do whatever it takes to be healthy for that wedding. :)Enjoy it.

I just got myself some raw honey from the Amish folks. And strawberry jam. And, of course, apple cider

That is awesome. When is the interview?

And that's great about the honey and stuff. We got our honey from an organic co-op. Same co-op where we get our raw milk, eggs, and other produce.

Too bad there aren't any co-ops nearby, as far as I can tell. Oh well, we have a secret weapon: the Amish!  No technology means no processed food...

Well, if I get the house I want, it'll have two bedrooms so I can have visitors anytime

One of my co workers (26 age) recently announced that he was moving in with his GF. Everyone, cheered and congratulated him for this big step in growing up.

Though, that moment made me feel weird and alone. One the one hand I didn't know what to say to him. Should I say "Congratulation" ...... I just said "Good luck".

Additionally, the moment made me feel like a weird creature, who was all alone. Moving in with his GF was being looked at as the normal part of growing up. Yet, here I was the only person who prob dosnt believe in moving in before marriage. It was strange to be in a world where I was the one who had never lived with a woman and prob never will (before marriage).

Yup, it was strange.

I do think it sounds odd that your coworker announced and people cheered. I never would have thought that would be something people celebrated

I wouldn't say anything nor congratulate him. If asked why you aren't happy for him, just state you don't believe in living together before marriage.

Everything is backward these days. Avoiding responsibility and commitment is seen as "growing up."

Apricity - I hate when that happens. I will keep you in my prayers this week so you can get through things and maybe have motivation to not procrastinate as much later. It's hard for sure. Procrastination is one of my "skills" as well.

Good will become evil and evil will become good

My cousin moved in with her boyfriend not too long ago; families just aren't family anymore. It's really sad how things have changed so much in our culture. But I think that the foundation was swept away some time ago. It seems that when people learn things more out of tradition rather than the reasons and purpose behind it, sooner or later, the values will be lost.

Thank you very much Dandelions! I really appreciate that!  
Haha! I like how you call it a skill! xD

But if you think about it, being "weird" makes you stand out. Not that you should try and be weird just to stand out, but if people are think you are weird as a Christian, it does make you stand out more. They become curious, and wonder why you don't believe in living together before marriage. Then you have a chance to explain why, and maybe even an opportunity to share the Gospel with them.

So being weird, while it seems to feel like an outcast at times, can be a blessing.

Finally my landlord is coming over in the next hour or so to bring me a space heater for my room.

Just got meds in the mail, so I'm assuming that financial thing I applied for went through. That'll save me $200 a month.
