Have I mentioned that I LOVE Phantom of the Opera?? :D I just finished watching it... Again. All 2-1/2 hours of it!

As my mother would say, "Oh, I can see you've been being very productive."

But I DID get a couple job applications done today. I would've gotten more, probably, but it was my first time since I've been back driving the Jeep, and let me tell you, it is WAY different than my little blue car! (Which, by the way, we got hauled up here yesterday. My grandpa's sick so we won't be unloading it from the trailer for a while, but at least it's here�home.) I almost drove to Mem'ries and Wal-Mart and Albertson's, but I got too scared. Driving that huge, modern thing really takes some getting used to. :P Tomorrow I'll go to a couple more places.

I applied at the library, and after my *interview* (exciting!!) for a position at the NNU library, my hopes are high. :) You know, I am really glad my first interview was at NNU. The people there aren't so cold and unforgiving as people in the "real" world. It's good to have an interview like that to start me out. It gives me hope. LOL.

ISAAC'S BACK! Well, sort of. :D He e-mailed me to tell me he was still alive, LOL. He's super busy unpacking and such. Hence the reason why his latest diary entry is dated March 3, 2005. :D

I have an accountability partner now. A real one. :) At NNU, the week before finals, she asked to borrow my book, Every Young Woman's Battle. Without really thinking, I agreed. It's such a great book! Why would I think to refuse?

Later that night, stirred by vague worry, I thumbed back through the book which I hadn't looked much at since January. I saw I'd jotted some very revealing notes in there�and in pen, no less!

I didn't take back my offer, though. Not out of a sense of duty, but somehow I knew I had to give it to her anyway. It was a major act of trust...

I warned her a little before giving it to her in French. "You'll discover some things about me," I said. She seemed not to think much of it. I guess she didn't realize how serious I was.

What a blessing it was when she gave me a note saying she didn't think any less of me for some of the things I wrote in there. She said I was very brave in giving her that book... That I sure knew!

She offered accountability to me. At first I thought she was just saying the "right" thing, and asked for clarification. She said she meant every word she said. :)

So she's my accountability partner. It's scary sometimes--knowing I have to tell her whenever I mess up. But goodness knows (and I do too) that it is going to help me.

I'm not sure what on earth made me think of all that. But anyway, I've said it; it's worth saying.

And now, I'm going home to talk to my Father. I haven't talked to Him in a while.

Love always,
Stephanie
