As we represent Iraq, I've gotten a chance to learn more about politics and foreign policy in Arab nations. As a member of the Iraqi environmental committee, there has been some interesting finds in my research regarding water problems and energy alternatives for the Middle East. Best of all, it's been helpful in me developing a more global view of politics.<br /><br /><br />Besides the conference, it will also be fun to tour the capital and hang out with fellow delegates and good friends :))<br /><br />Tonight, I am attending a dinner with some fellow UH honors students to hear <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" >the former Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney, speak on "<span style="font-style: italic;">The World and American Leadership</span>".<br />I'm so glad to have the opportunity to hear from a potential 2012 presidential candidate. Spring break has given me some free time to do a little research on the 2012 arena for possible presidential candidates. Research is pretty much one of my favorite things to do; it's a little bit of my academic life I can do wherever and whenever!<br /></span><span style=";font-family:Georgia;font-size:14pt;color:gray;" ></span>Adrienne Reneahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04989390435423114771noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804385843193800393.post-41352259809226710002010-03-16T17:37:00.003-06:002010-03-16T17:47:35.238-06:00i need a perfect day<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIyohr8H2twNkOxfIasZxMzmrxgKfn8v45K1PLFoah4Ha5RplB9dKc6lJuJseR7KHn9GvPwHLWAsQctDK_C-WGKeVStFBWeF8ow0JnzFCvo_gqaesElQwwd8SzLzKiPKBLHF6EQGlSRL1a/s1600-h/picnic.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 158px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIyohr8H2twNkOxfIasZxMzmrxgKfn8v45K1PLFoah4Ha5RplB9dKc6lJuJseR7KHn9GvPwHLWAsQctDK_C-WGKeVStFBWeF8ow0JnzFCvo_gqaesElQwwd8SzLzKiPKBLHF6EQGlSRL1a/s200/picnic.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449380431255556050" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">People moving all the time<br />Inside a perfect straight line<br />Don't you wanna curve away<br />It's such it's such a perfect day<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">So I have declared a need for a picnic.

Me posting? Eh, not that specifically.<br />No.<br />The day I move in!<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Tomorrow</span> morning I will be moving out of my house and on campus at the University of Houston.<br /><br />A BIG change, that is slowly hitting me as I clear things out of my room.<br /><br />I've always been around my family and we spend a lot of time together, so not sure what I'm going to do when they're no longer a stone <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">throw's</span> away.<br /><br />As I think these things...and figure out things in life, in between each sentence of my thoughts I mentally have to tell myself, "The Lord is good!". And it helps. a lot!<br /><br />This summer was beautiful in it's own weird way. I don't have the normal summers of many vacations, lazy days by the pool, or even devouring a long book list!<br /><br />Instead I:<br />rediscovered my Savior, Jesus at NEXT,<br /> grew closer in several relationships,<br /> found friendships in people I never would have discovered on my own<br />spent time with people from church, especially women older than me, trying to learn and grow<br />saw <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Coldplay</span> in concert!<br />rode on an helicopter<br />earned my associates degree<br />saw two friends marry<br />earnestly began to think of Law School<br />read many articles at <a href="http://www.boundless.org/">http://www.boundless.org/</a><br />ran the preschool program at my job<br />struggled to trust God with my life.<br /><br />It was good, I learned, grew, and am still learning and growing<br /><br />Now it fall and my life is about to go into full force ahead!<br />I'm excited about what God is doing in my life and am grateful those events, thoughts and people He uses to do His work in me :)<br /><br />Now to more things about school:<br />School begins August 24.<br />I'm still pursuing a degree in Political Science, if I can keep up my grade point, I hope to graduated with honors!<br />I am taking 15 hours this semester, my classes include: Spanish, Comparative Politics, Honors World Lit, and a Poly sci class about Liberalism<br />I am temporarily working at the UH bookstore, just a few hours a week :)<br />I am living on campus in the Honors housing, though I haven't meet her, my roommate seems really sweet!<br />One of the best things about going to school in Houston is the ability to continue to attend church with my family! So I'll be there every Sunday, but I'm going to miss <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">caregroups</span>.<br /><br />Not sure when I'll post again, but I thought I'd put a few thoughts down :)Adrienne Reneahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04989390435423114771noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804385843193800393.post-69668149787467908872009-07-05T15:16:00.003-06:002009-07-05T15:25:35.908-06:004th of July picturesHere are some pictures from the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Hern's</span> party, last night!!

As I interacted with people at the conference: God revealed my need to rest in HIS plans and revealed sins that I will be looking to be held accountable for.</div><br /><div>God was also gracious to deepen my desire for heaven and eternity. I long for the day when Christ will call those he has saved home. I pray that this will further a passion in me for the Lost and that my boldness to declare Christ to those around me would be evident.</div><br /><div>No words can <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">describe</span> the feeling that you get when you are around so many strong young brothers and sisters-in-Christ for four days. I can't help but see it as a small taste of how heaven will be.<br /></div><div>These are just a few thoughts. I will be posting more in upcoming days.

<br>
<br>The last week of school has started and I can start counting down the days! I wiil have four "test" finals next week. This afternoon, I'm holing myself up in the library to finish up a paper and get some important studying done!
<br>
<br>It's kinda bittersweet cause I'm going to miss sme of my classmates; they've made some of my tougher class pretty fun. I can't wait to meet more people this summer and at UH in the fall.
<br>
<br>Need to finish up some reading for a paper!
