Copeland, making me feel like missing home.

Hello all, internet, friends, countrymen, fellow apostles, brothers, sisters, starbucks partners.... ect.
School has started for pretty much everyone that I know now, and I hope that it is all going very well.  I'm thinking and praying for everyone to have super productive semesters.  Lord knows, I need that in my life.  School is so different; it's so good, and it's so weird.  I spend more time not in class, and in the prayer room--for a grade.  This is weird, because I have a super short attention span.  I mean, really God is wonderful, He really is, but I get so distracted.  Do you know all that's going on in the GPR (global prayer room--here at IHOP-KC, we are all about initials.)?? Soooo much.  Like, there is all these cameras that are taping for GodTV, there are people pacing, there are more asian people than I've ever seen (and I've been to China Town NY) there are worship teams, there's Lou Engle, and Allen Hood and all these other people I've seen my mom watching on TV. There are cute boys.  There are little kids.  There are so many interestin people.  There are so many people doing stuff, and I just wanna look at it. 
This is what I get to do for school--sheesh! It' really weird.

(so, sidenote: my keyboard is sticking like you would not believe, and if there's a letter missing from a word, I apologize.  I'm trying to pound the stickiness out of the keys, but I can only type so hard.  It kind of hurts.  But, I digress.  What I mean to say is, sorry if I miss letters sometimes.)

Anyway though, school is so different because it's more Church than school, though it's way more school than church.  Okay, okay, it's only been one and half whole weeks.  I don't really know what I'm talking about.  Bear with me.
How is school for everyone going though? I really wanna know, I wanna be all up to date with you all.
And if you aren't in school, how's the end of the summer? How's jobs? Life? Good? I hope so.

But other than school, I've been doing plenty of things; KC is such a cool city.  I have been around more hipsters than I was when I was at Cornerstone, or Clifton or anything.  It's really weird.  They're all so pretty...
I've eaten such good food.  I've been in cooler places, with awesome people, it's been really great.
I live in a house with 4 other girls, and they are all blessings to have and know.  We also have a dog (well, my roommate, technically, has a dog.  But we all love her.) her name is Hayley and she is the prettiest golden retriever ever (well, minus my good ol' Lady [RIP]) and if you know me, you know I'm eating that up with a spoon.  Seriously she is the coolest.  She's like a dog on TV, you know the pretty healthy goldens who just want to be petted and play ball; if you throw a frisbee in the air she can run and catch it before it hits the ground.  Lady didn't move unless there was food involved, and sometimes not even then; Winston doesn't know how to sit on command--you can imagine my joy.
Other than the dog, I'm also getting along with my roommates, as I said, they're all pretty great.  Janae and Tori are sisters, they have the lease on the house, they're from California; they are the sweetest girls ever, and so funny.  Janae is genuinely one of the sweetest people I've ever met, and is so interested in people.  It's wonderful.  Tori is hilarious! She has the greatest giggle I've ever heard.  Renae has the room right next to mine, she is from Kansas (about three hours west of here,) and she works as a day care.  She is funny and great to be around--tomorrow we are going a-job hunting together--and she is so grounded and on track with the Lord.  She's great to be around and get to learn from.  Also, she's just super fun. Then lastly (and maybe not much longer :( :( which I'll miss her a lot!)  is Jordan.  Jordan has been pretty much everywhere, and done like everything.  She lived in Florida, she went to Asbury for awhile (so she lived in KY!) and then went to Simmons College in Boston (and took classes at Harvard! Holy crap! Who does that?! Rivers Cuomo, Natalie Portman...Rory Gilmore... Seriously.)  She is the coolest though, and I'm so happy to know her.  She's pretty much the funniest person ever.  And I feel super cool that she likes me.
I live in a pretty great house.

Grandview (the suburb of KC that I --unfortunately, technically--live in) is totally creepy.  Totally.
There is an entire abandoned shopping mall, along with all the other shopping on the road.  It would be if Mall road, and Houston were completely deserted. (If you are from Florence, or NKY, would that be relevant, but yeah)
Super creepy, right? Yes.
And you kinda feel like you're going to be attacked or somehing.  Thank God that IHOP-KC is based here, other wise it would stupid to live here.

Um, I can't think of anything else to talk about right now (it's so late.)
Starting tomorrow I think it'll be more day to day, less general, entries.
But I kinda just wanted to talk a little about vague stuff.

I hope everyone is sleeping right now.  And getting plenty of rest (it's almost 4 in the morning! eek, here, which means it's almost 5 for most of you, in eastern time!) and have great weekends.

talk more tomorrow, I'll be more organized.
love love love, hannah
