If you follow this blog, you should also take a look at my new blog, A Year in My Life. I know it may sound crazy that I started a new blog when I don't even regularly update the two I already have. But this new blog is different. I've always wanted to try Project 365, which simply means I take a picture every day and post it. Some of the pictures are symbolic of something that happened during the day. Others are my attempts to improve my photography skills. Still others will be fairly random, just because I've already found it difficult to find something to take a picture of every single day.
Our first assignment in my writing class was to write out an interview with ourselves. The questions come from a newspapers article. I just supplied the answers.
Rebekah Childers is a senior Biblical Text major at Abilene Christian University. She spends much of her free time reading, escaping to far-off places both real and imagined. When she gets a chance Rebekah makes some of these trips a reality, traveling around the country and the world.
When I grow up, I want to be … a curator in a museum. I love history, particularly British history and that of ancient civilizations.
We hear you create illuminated manuscripts. Yes, that’s one of my hobbies. Using ink and paint, I intricately write out scriptures and decorate the page with designs and Celtic knotwork.
You also ride horses frequently. What is it about horseback riding that you enjoy? Horses are beautiful animals. I enjoy the freedom that I feel when I’m on the back of a galloping horse. Horseback riding is fun and it’s actually good exercise as well.
What would you rather be doing right now? Playing the piano. I’m not very good, but I find it to be very relaxing and peaceful. Musical instruments help me unwind after long days full of work and stress.
Shhh! Don’t tell anyone that … I worked hard to invent an Honors capstone project as an excuse to go to Egypt this semester. Now I get to write a forty-page paper in the next few weeks, but I also get to climb Mount Sinai.
What was your proudest moment? Possibly when I went paragliding in the Swiss Alps. I don’t often try new things and I was very proud of myself for jumping off a mountain, even if I did have a paragliding wing and an instructor attached to me.
It really stinks when … people chew food with their mouths open. This unfortunate and uncouth habit is possibly my biggest pet peeve.
In the dictionary, my face is next to … introvert. I am a very shy person and one of my greatest fears is speaking with people who I don’t know very well.
The worst advice I ever took was … to pitch a tent on an RV site, at the bottom of a small slope. Torrential rain later that evening ensured that I was in for a wet and cold night.
They’re burying a time capsule. What are you putting in it? The photobooks that I’ve made, a DVD of The Office, a can of Dr. Pepper and a dollar bill.
I would drop all my plans tonight to … fly to England. Oxford is my second home and I visit as often as I can. I would go back to Oxford at the drop of a hat.
Invite three people to dinner. Who are they? J.R.R. Tolkien, the apostle Paul and Sherlock Holmes.
If they gave me a million dollars, I would … give the first ten percent away and then pay off my college loans. I would set enough aside to also pay for my sister and brother’s schooling. I’m not sure what I would do with the rest. Probably save most of it and then travel a little; I’ve always wanted to go to New Zealand and Australia.
Even if they gave me a million dollars, there’s still no way I would … fly to Vegas and gamble. There are a lot of things I would never do with a million bucks, but that’s the first thing that came to mind.
So, what’s so great about you? I’m very trustworthy and a great listener. My friends always feel that they can tell me anything. People know that I will listen without judgment and I won’t share their secrets with others.
If I’ve learned anything at all… it’s that I tend to place artificial limitations on myself. When I don’t want to do something or am frightened to do it, I can almost always come up with a relatively viable reason why I cannot.
