| Hmm ok so two very random thoughts that are completely unrelated: 1. Snow: we used to LOVE snow. Loved everything about it, the cold, wet, snowball, falling down, snow angels, snow all over you. When did it become beautiful and yet annoying at the same time? I still love to look at it and love being able to play in it.....BUT (of course there's a but) it's a hassel to walk around campus in. Is that bad? When is the point where we grow up and don't love it anymore? I know we are supposed to put away childish things but snow is one of God's creations and I realized today how beautiful it is even if you can't play in it and it makes you really cold. So I guess my point is although we don't have time to play in it anymore (or think we're too grown up to) we can still appreciate it. 2. Projects: I have discovered something. It is so much easier to work alone on papers than in groups. It's a great thing to work in groups and be around other people. But when you have to meet together to write something, correct it, etc, it gets old in a hurry. Being the impatient person that I am I would rather just fix it myself, I suppose that's bad but sometimes it's just easier. Maybe thats the point huh? Ok well enough for random thoughts  . I had my first test today. It was in New Testament, which I don't like nearly as well as Old, and I was slightly nervous because I thought the test was easy. For me that is never a good sign....it usually means I did not do well. But the professor sent us an email this afternoon after the test with our grade for the test and I got an A. I was very excited  | |

| So this has been a crazy week! On Wednesday the advisor for my Senior Research Project decided that he did not want to work with us because of the problems that we had getting one of our projects together because we have 2 different profs for the project. So then my prof became the advisor for it which I am happy about because she is really on top of things.  Then Thursday night my mom called and was really excited about something. One of our friends from FL had found my brother and I on facebook. Well because of that I started looking up some other people that we had known when I was younger. I ended up finding one of my best friends till I moved to AZ. She and I used to hang out ALL the time. I am so excited about the fact that I found her again. I also ended up finding one of the guys I used to know. He ended up moving a lot too and is about to move again. We've been emailing a lot so that's been neat to get to know him again. I am still sick with the ear infection and the sinus infection, they still aren't going away and it's starting to get frustrating because it's been 2 and 1/2 weeks, but hopefully I'll be better soon. Tomorrow night's hopefully gonna be cool cause hopefully Kelsey and I are going to re-arrange the room while the computers are down. I think it's weird that we won't be able to do anything on the computers or get any email even on the laptops. But thankfully it's only gonna be around 12-14 hours or so. | | |
| Ok so i just have to rant for a little bit..... So I've been working for 15 and1/2 weeks at Chucks sweeping (with a broom) and mopping. Tonight for some odd reason one of the girls that also works there decided I wasn't mopping right. She literally took the mop from my hands and showed me "how to do it right." Even though the way I did it was how my manager told me to. I wasn't mad..... I thanked her and then did it her way until she left and then I went back to doing it my way. I really am not that frustrated I just think it's funny that she waited til I only have 5 days left to show me how to do it....but whatever. On a happier note, we are over halfway done with our last week of classes! In one week and 2 days I will be out of Cedarville and on my way to Chicago. That's really exciting cause we're stopping in Chicago on the way home so that we can visit the window that are decorated there....I'm really excited! | | |
| We talked about Ecclesiastes in OT today.... we talked about how life is "vanity" because of the fall and what that means is that none of us can get away from the effects of the fall no matter how we try. we have to take pleasure in the moments that we have. we never know what tomorrow will bring so instead of living for the weekend or breaks (which i know i am guilty of doing) you have to enjoy each day as it is....even if it's raining and icky there are still things to enjoy in that day. now the pleasure that you are supposed to find is not worldly pleasure, because it says in the text that God will judge us based on what we have done, so God wants us to find a joy in the things that he has created for us in a manner that will glorify him. i think it's pretty cool that our God is so big that he created us and even though we mess up every day he wants us to find joy in living life. | | |
