Favorite Movie: I'm not a huge fan of picking favorites; but I usually like anything that is eclectic, funny, or scary.
What do you like most about VT? There are many things that I love and enjoy about Virginia Tech... but I think the one thing that makes me praise God the most is the beauty. This campus is one of the most beautiful campuses that I have ever seen, the buildings, the air, the flowers, the people - everything about this place is extraordinarily beautiful. My favorite thing to do (when I ever have free time) is to just walk around outside on campus and take photos of beautiful things.
If you could do anything without the possibility of failure and money wasn't a restraint: what would you do? I would take a year or two off and I would travel throughout the world, photograph beautiful things, experience all sorts of cultures and help wherever I was needed.
Are you reading any books right now? I just finished an amazing book actually, but right now I recently checked out the "spiritual disciplines handbook" from the VT library and I am trying to work that into my relationship with God at the moment, and also trying to finish The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis.
How has God encouraged you recently? God encouraged me this weekend despite my self-pity in my sickness. I was sitting alone at home on Friday night, and God came to me and He revealed some things about me and how I was relating to Him about the future. God reminded me that at this moment in time, He has me in a place where I need to seek the face of Jesus, to listen to Him and enjoy His comfort. That I am in a place right now to slow down and listen to my Jesus speak words of love toward me, and not to worry about what I am going to do when I am graduated. So, I did just that, and God poured out His love on me :)
Chelsea, I enjoyed reading your answers to these interesting questions! It's funny how being sick brings out the self-pity. Since I'm currently recovering from the same "crud" you apparently had, I'd also like to add that being sick occasionally throughout the year reminds me to be thankful for the good health the Lord gives me all the other days of the year. Glad you're feeling better (I'm on the upswing, too!).
