6th

tonight, i went with bee to watch the 6th sense at a friends apartment. it was fun making him jump. now i'm back at my dorm typing away. I had 2 classes out of 4 cancelled today. so the only classes i had to go to were an 8 and a 9 o'clock. well, i woke up at 7:20 to get ready to go. i looked at my clock. and thought "i haven't used any of my cuts this semester yet...and it's almost over...i'm going back to bed" and so i did. i've used 4 cuts so far from all 6 of my classes. i have around 18 total. so tomorrow i'm gonna get up and go to OT survey, then chapel, then go to lunch, then to work, then to maybe watch a movie with friends. gnite

Had a cool weekend

went to open house. the theme was football. we had to costruct something footballish with football snacks: hot dogs, buns, toothpicks, ketchup, mustard, chips. then we created a halftime show. 'twas fun. going to go eat at Chipotle now. God is good. tomorrow, i only have 2 classes. the others were cancelled. so i'm done after 10 am. whee. then to PCM. i might go to england for 2 weeks. i'll find out tomorrow. THAT would be fun.

God is AWESOME!!!!

So last night....was one of the (insert words)* nights of my life. I had been trying to get a hold of missy for a while and we finally caught each other online. I asked her after some small talk if she'd been thinking about "us" and she said she had. She said that she didn't see it going anywhere. Completely ok because of the distance situation and a lot of other stuff. she then told me that she had met someone. She told me that she was so scared to tell me and that she didn't wan't me to hurt. The fact is that my feelings for her have been slowly fading into the background and dissappearing. There's someone here that has caught my attention. I told her that and she kept apologizing, but we both had a sense of peace about it. She's still a good friend and she's still gonna come out here and visit. I was gonna go home for spring break and surprise her but i think i'm gonna try to go to england on a mission trip with my PCM. God'll let me know. So now missy has a boyfriend and i'm hanging out with someone. I'm not even going to talk about that at all for this year at least. Rebounding is BAD!!! So i signed up for classes next semester. I'm only doing 16 instead of 17. HA my second semester junior year i have to take 19 hours. i'll die. but God's always there. I'm so glad that i can rely on him for absolute truth and clarity. Not everything will be clear to me and i'm ok with that. He's the one with the plan and who am i that i could possibly try to change or alter that. In his perfect timing and in His will, i have never been happier. Just sitting here, watching him work in me and in the lives of others. I'm awestruck at his work. Totally blown away. please pray for my decision to go to europe and that if He wants me to go, He'll provide the money. it's not as expensive as going to the philippines but it's still up there for me. well huh I'm done. Thanks to you all for praying. You are so awesome. May God pour out his spirit on your lives to enable you for great things. May he open your eyes to your mistakes and break you if you need breaking. Always remember that YOU need to sit back and relax because HE has everything under control no matter what!

*cant even describe the feelings i had

Registering

The process of registering for the next semester's classes has begun. I have to wait till thursday to register. They sent everyone an email saying: when you regiser, be sure to leave yourself time for lunch. Now when they gave me the slip of paper saying that i needed to go to all my classes this semester, there was no room for lunch at all. isn't that ironic. i'm gonna be switching rooms and living with some other guys on my floor. i skipped my class today because i was tired. i only have one class on tuesdays and thursdays. i had a good PCM last night. the kids were responding and behaving because ...ha haha i've gotten the secret to a kid's heart. Candy!! would tell them they had to finish 10 problems before they got any. they were very good. so next week i'm buying a bag of candy to help them learn. HA well i'm gonna go and take a nap. i'm going to office max today because i need ink for my printer. I went to target last night to get another one but completely forgot the ink cartrige. HA so yeah going to take it with me this time. well gnite

Almost

Almost lost my computer today. It came up with a command prompt for you PC-ers. But it was a FTP screen for us others. So i'm taking my baby into the Apple store a few blocks down to get her checked out. just to make sure she's ok. My iPod decided to die today as well. It made funny noises and erased all of the songs off of it. My iTunes library is full but my iPod is not. sandess ensues. I went, on a different note, to Target today and got a coat, hat, and some other stuff. Smart as i am i took a couple girls with me to make sure i got stuff that wasn't dorky. and i didn't get dorky stuff. i got nice stuff. sigh. eventful day. 'twas supposed to snow. VERY cold today. i'm starting the book series "A series of unfortunate events" i love it. well gnite

There's the chicago marathon happening today. whee. lots of bells. like at the olympics. yeah at 6 in the morning. It was friggin too cold to go to church today. Plus i dont know where it is. so i'm just gonna listen to the sermon on iTunes and sing some worship songs too.

Almost a month

Ha i haven't written in a long time. Wow. So it's October 13th today, yes friday the 13th. And a lot has happened. Going back as far as i can remember between bloggs, the first thing was the open house. 4 times a semester there are open houses for guys and girls 2 per. the first one was a casual [no planned event] open house for the girls. so the guys would be able to go over and see what the girl's rooms and floor looked like. it was fun until soneone pulled the fire alarm and all 10 floors had to be evacuated. Yeah that was fun. The next open house is the one we just had. A planned OH for the guys. So we have to come up with something for the girls to do. in tha past there has been a formal and progressive dinner. this year we did luau. We made a slip 'n' slide in the hallway on Dryer 3. we put heavy duty plastic on the ground and baby soap and water. it was a blast. Then I had midterms and it went pretty well. I'm getting low Bs or Cs. I just want to learn. I'm thinking of joining gospel choir and working on campus so it's easier on me. I am taking 17 credit hours this semester and i am a little overwhelmed. nex semester I'm hoping to only have 14. I went to a friend's house last night and on the way back at 10:30 my ID must have fallen off my person and blown away. So today i had to go get a new one and I like the picture a lot better. Now I'm the only one in my room and 1 out of maybe 10 people who are here and not going home this 5-day weekend. So i'm just gonna do homework. Last week after church I went to Koreatown and had real korean food. it was spicy but really good. well i have a 7 page paper to write by thursday so i'm gonna start on it now. cya
