So I have stumbled my way past a little roadblock earlier encountered: the issue of actually getting myself TO Chico. Of course, if all else failed, I could just drive... it's not like I'm going to Australia or something! But, that said, I did get into a bit of a pickle with my arrival.
1. Booked a flight to S. for the day my DTS starts... Realized that "starts" is literal, and though the 3pm flight sounded divinely lax in it's midday timing, I'll be missing the start of my school.
2. Looked into the shuttle that was to take me from S. to Chico... Realized that the last shuttle out departs 50 min before my ETA - no chance of catching that. Researched a little into Amtrak, city buses, and Greyhound, and found my best bet was on the Greyhound, though I wouldn't get to the Chico station till just before bedtime. Shoot.
3. Google Map'd the distance between the S. Airport and the Greyhound station... Realized that they're 12 miles apart from one another. Was counting on a pricier-than-desired taxi ride until I discovered a $1 bus from the airport to downtown S! Yippee!! Only four blocks to walk with 5 months of luggage, and I'm golden.
Good enough for me!! PTJ :)
I am going to love this!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Grace! 4 blocks is only half a mile. You could probably do it with all five months of luggage balanced on your head! Just make sure to go in the right direction!
ReplyDeleteHey Makaela,
ReplyDeleteIt seemed like Dad wanted people to post on here things they said, and I don't know if you want to invite people to do so, or make another post for it, or what, but here's the Bible verses I quoted:
"When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen."
Greg Smith also quoted the last two verses from the Message for you:
"God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.
Glory to God in the church!
Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus!
Glory down all the generations!
Glory through all millennia! Oh, yes!"
Maybe it's important that we both got it, I don't know. Hopefully it is a strength and blessing to you in the next 6 months, and beyond!
I love you a lot!
Micah
