Huh....

Don't know why this quote hit me so hard today but here it is.

"My friends, I don't want us to think of prayer as a last resort. It is not just something you do when nothing else works. Prayer is an absolutely essential tool."

-Mark Hanlon
Senior Vice President, USA
Compassion International

You know when....

So I just asked my roommate if it was okay that I was gonna be on the computer typing my paper while she went to sleep and she replied "Oh, so you want to watch me while I sleep? That's cool. I'll just pretend you're Edward".

BAHAHAHA! It was perfect.

"Happy Winds-day!"

It's a blustery day in the 100 acre wood (okay this campus is ten times that size but whatever).

Last night as I was discovering the most innovative and wonderful websites of my small insignificant life (stumbleupon.com) with the most wonderful person in the whole world (yes... Becca :)) and the wind was shaking the windows to the point that we thought they were going to bust in. Very cool.

Sometimes, luck is on your side and when it is, you take full advantage of the situation because chances are that your luck will run out fairly quickly.

Today I had a paper due in English. I had done the research last night and spent this morning working on it. Needless to say it was a pretty freakin' crappy paper. I got to class today and my teacher walked out of her previous class and looked at me working on my computer. I thought I was busted! She told me class was canceled and that the paper was due on wednesday because she wasn't feeling well. Alright! I'll take it! I will not be procrastinating that much ever again because that was too close for comfort.

There is a story from those four days of my life I decided to ignore but I now realize is a great story that needs to be told.

So Dave was interviewing Razzi about where he is most often inspired. Raz said the bathroom is where he has had the most epiphanies and meaningful conversations. I said that was super gross and asked him who he had the meaningful conversations with. He said he would be on the phone or on skype without the other person knowing. I was freaking out about how gross that is. All the other guys at the table were agreeing with Raz. Josh in particular said he used the computer while he was using the restroom and I said that is SO disgusting! He responded with "What? I put a towel down first" I died of laughter. It was the uncontrollable laughter when everyone around you looks at you and thinks "Wow. It probably wasn't even that funny". But I was laughing so hard that I literally had to leave the cafeteria and was dying all the way out to the lounge. It was great. And if you have ever seen me giggly or laugh really hard you know exactly what I'm talking about.

It's a beautiful fall day. Perfect temperature, nice, blustery day and the leaves are finally falling after turning into awesome shades of green, orange, red and brown. I love Fall!

Ec-pic Fail

Yea... I haven't blogged in a while and I don't want to try and recount the past few days so I won't.

Basically, I stayed up till about 2am at the bonfire which was super nice (at the retreat) and I got back from the retreat at about 3. I had SO much fun!

Now I'm back to reality and doing some homework before Becca comes over!!! Woot! Sleepover! haha Well. Homework time

Later :)

P.S. It's Google's 11th Birthday!! Happy Birthday, Google!

Uneventful

Like I said. Uneventful day. Last night, I turned in early because I had the worst headache ever and I got a great night's sleep. I woke up and got some breakfast and went to class and some other teacher was there. I don't know why he was teaching but he just walked in a started teaching the class. Then I had my Physics Lab. It was pretty lame. Went back to the dorm and had some dinner.

During dinner, my friend Eric decided to show us this secret thing he can do. So his mouth is apparently really stretchy because he fit the whole mouth of the cup in his mouth. BAHAHA! Whenever Taylor puts the picture up that he took, I will definitely be posting it on here. It's hysterical.

Then I had small groups which was really cool. We had it in my room tonight which is now awesome because everything is set up! We look super sophisticated. It's awesome. Then I had a good conversation with Max and I think I'm gonna head to bed. Sweetness. Later!

Quote Out of Context for the day

"For the multiple choice part, there were definitely multiple answers!" - Some guy talking to another guy about the class they just left.

Food.

That is where I am at. The Watterson Food Court. First of all, they have an ingenious way to deter people from coming back to Watterson drunk. The stairs going down to the dorm are on an angle. You can barely get down them while sober, so you can imagine someone intoxicated. They will be laid out in a heartbeat. I guess that's why all the parties are in the Watterson commons.

Watterson food contains the 4 major food groups. Fruits and Vegetables, Grains and bread, Meats, and Milk and Dairy. Let's see how the majority of college students are filling their daily requirements.

Fruits and Vegetables: Fries seems to be a staple vegetable here. Along with strawberries and grapes (okay those are good for you).

Grains and Bread: Pizza and cookies. Today they have Fruit Loops Rice Crispy Treats.

Meats: Fried Chicken Sandwich. Sometimes of the spicy variation. Need I say more.

Milk and Dairy: Mozzarella Sticks looks like a popular contestant and let's not forget the unlimited Ice Cream bar!

So you see. This whole freshman 15 thing is not our fault. Companies just know what kids will eat. Personally, as I sit next to a guy who is dipping his pepperoni pizza in nacho cheese (holy crap!), I'll stick with my vegetarian diet of salad and rice with the occasional tofu or peanut butter sandwich involved. Okay, I eat pizza sometimes. But that's why working out twice a day is in order. I am determined to lose weight in college. Stoked. Ha Ha. That's just what I was thinking about now. Later

Quote out of context: "Well, if you're going to do it, make sure i don't see anything" -A guy saying this to a girl walking on the quad.

And that is how excited you people should be to read my blog :)

Alright, I guess I have to start with Friday. Katie came to visit me this weekend and she came on Friday night and then we went to Tri for dinner and then to see a movie at my friends house. We watched Cinderella Man which is actually a great movie.
Then we went back to the dorm and we hung out with other Katie. We ordered D.P. Dough, the pesto calzones and they were ec-pic! Then we watched How I Met Your Mother. While we were watching it, we heard a knock on the door. Katie yelled "Come in!" and in walks these three guys. They go "Ummm. We got a noise complaint and they said that it was coming from this dorm" I asked who complained and they said the room above us. I was like oh, the boys floor complained about us? And they were like yea! the boys floor. and then they were like are you guys playing twister? and Katie was like does it look like we're playing twister? and they said no i guess not and then they left. We were just shocked. Clearly they weren't RA's and they were just trying to pick up girls. At first I thought it was super lame but then I really thought about it and that was a brilliant idea! So for all you guys out there. That is a great way to meet women. So we fell asleep in Katie's room watching How I Met Your Mother.

Then on Sat. I had Women's 1st and 3rd. It was a great breakfast and then I came back and Katie was eating lunch with Jackie and Kenny came for a college visit. It was kinda stressful but oh well. We went to fusion brew and got some yummy coffee and decided that our movie we wanted to make will be called Mission to Brew. Yea I was pretty giggly that night and kept doing weird things. Story of my life. That night we watched Finding Nemo. I totally forgot how amazing that movie is. It's sooo funny. "I'm gonna getcha. I'm gonna swim with you. I'm gonna be your best friend..........good feeling's gone." Bahaha. So then we went back to Katie's room and we decided to watch a bunch of episodes of How I Met Your Mother in order to fall asleep. We reminisced about old TV shows and Disney Channel movies like Beetle Juice and Halloween Town. So great. Fell asleep and cue Sunday! Oh and quote of the night... apparently I am a failure with a side of home-wrecker.

Today I went to the last Sunday church service that Cornerstone will be having in a while. What Mike talked about really hit home today. It was pretty cool. I decided to be nice and sit by a new guy. His name is Jeff and he was nice. Right after church I had warm up for my first choir concert as a college student. Then went to lunch with Katie and my Dad called me. Turns out my family came down as a surprise to see me! It was awesome. We did alright but the other choirs did awesome pieces and were very good. We then went to Olive Garden with Katie, Becca, and my family and Becca and I realized that we seriously live like 15 min away from one another walking. During dinner, my Dad decided to embarrass Katie and we told the waiter it was her birthday so they sang to her hahaha. It was great. Then I went to get my futon and stuff so my room finally feels complete now that we have our carpet and futon. It's great. After that we went to visit Jackie and meet Brian and now I am here. Talking to people on skype and doing my homework for tomorrow. Oooo! Jazz tomorrow night. Who's excited???? I am.

Well, until tomorrow!

P.S. Everyone needs to go to Youtube right now and type in "a very potter musical" watch it and download the soundtrack from http://teamstartkid.com . Trust me.

Hope for Heartbreak

Convenience is not love, convenience is a hookup. A relationship should not be formed simply out of convenience because then it has no meaning.

Love is never easy but that is the beauty of it. Would love really be such a blessing if everyone could have love at the drop of a hat? Definitely not.

Love is struggle. Love is giving up a part of yourself to allow someone else to be themselves. Love is making sacrifices, getting messy, making decisions with your heart, not your head.

Love cannot be expected.

Love is rewarding. Love is reciprocal. Love is emotion, on top of emotion, on top of emotion. Love is selfless. Love is letting yourself wholly trust another human being and still accepting them for all their faults and weaknesses and helping them through those.

Breakups hurt, but if it's unbearable then you had something called true love. And a love like that is worth every ounce of heartbreak.

So love everyone with all your heart because you deserve nothing less in return.

Crazy Ever After (Acoustic Version)

Yep. Great Song.

Anyway. So yesterday. Yesterday I only had one class (Physics) cuz my lab was canceled. So I had my whole day to myself. and I actually got a ton of homework done.

I also finally made David's CD so I am sending that in the mail sometime today. And then 9pm had small groups and yea just had a really great night.

So I was sitting under this pretty tree on campus writing this blog until a nice big spider decided to climb on me so I had to relocate. And now I am sitting on safe, man-made, cement. Today I have almost all of my classes which kinda sucks. But it actually hasn't been that bad. It's a gorgeous day outside today. 79 and cloudy so it's not too hot especialkly with the nice breeze blowing through. Just perfect. I love perfect days.

The only thing that is not perfect about today is these little bugs that are swarming everywhere on the quad and getting all over everyone. You literally have to pick them off of you when you walk inside and they are tiny. so gross.

Well I have class in about 10 minutes so I should go. Until later!

Another Wonderful Day!

There are so many good things about today I don't know where to begin.

Well to start it off, I didn't have class till 2pm today. Quite unusual for a Monday but I am not complaining. Then I just had nice easy classes and the real fun started after I was done with class.

Today, I got to go to dinner with Heather and her roommate Gabby. Heather is awesome. We had a great talk and dinner ended up lasting about an hour and twenty minutes. I am very excited that I get to keep getting to know her. She reminds me a lot of Sam Duda. Love you, Sami!

After that I went back to the room and I saw I had a package in the mail. It was my Compassion Information Packet. I am now sponsoring a little girl named Zahara. She lives in Tanzania and is currently 5 years old. She is so precious and I am excited to make a difference in her life. With the money I send to her through Compassion, she will be able to have food and fresh water daily and go to school. Yay!

I also called Papa back because I had missed his call because I accidentally left my phone in the room. We got to have a very nice conversation and he is doing well since his surgery. He still is not feeling too well but I'm sure he'll be back on his feet in no time.

Finally, the jazz group we started here had it's first practice!!!!!! GAH! It was sooo exciting. We are learning Alice in Wonderland. Once we have a couple more practices, it is going to sound great. I am very excited for this group and cannot wait to get into more complicated things and really start rockin' some awesome music. The members are me, Katie, Eric, Jeana, Taylor and Matt. We started practice at about 8:30 and Katie and I stayed until 11 praticing and trying to teach me how to belt. It was awesome.

Well, I am going to sleep now. Laters!

P.S. Last night Megan and I went on a walk and we sat on the bowl fountain (you just have to see it) and she almost fell in trying to get off... funniest thing ever.

This one's for you...

Well since Robby told me my blog was getting weak, I decided to dedicate this entry to him. So here you are Robby, an ec-pic awesome and huge blog post for no reason!

Well for starters last night really was awesome. I ran errands for the first time since being here and got some stuffs that I needed. And then I got a coffee table for my room which will look awesome when I get my carpet and my futon in here. CHYEAH! Then we came back and were supposed to go to this open mic thing but we didn't go and instead played Mario Party 4 which has the worst mini games ever. They just stink. I won even with the broken controller and ended the game with 5 stars. Yea...totally rocked that. The we decided to watch Moulin Rouge which was an amazing movie by the way. I got back to the room and put my itunes on shuffle and what comes on? My most favorite song in the entire world In the Wee Small Hours sung by Kurt Elling who is wonderful. And then John Paul sent me some new music :)

Then I went to sleep.

Got up this morning and went to church and then went out to lunch with everybody which was a lot of fun and came back here and painted my nails and organized my room. It was shweet. and Now I am attempting to do some homework and start my analysis paper. It's actually going to be an interesting paper since we got to chose our own topics. My topic is whether or not we can actually prove that Noah's Ark existed and was used. I'm expecting it to be a pretty crazy topic with a ton of research but I'm excited. Ooo almost forgot. The church is have a recital tonight that I am going to so that should be fun. And then I'm going to come back, finish homework, read my book and crash early which will be so nice. I don't think Meredith will be home till tomorrow during the day but whatever.

There.
Happy?
Good.

Sometimes

Sometimes you think you have it all figured out and then life throws you a curve ball and you don't know whether to try for the home run or just strike out.

P.S. Just saw Moulin Rouge for the first time, incredible.

:)

I'm sorry! we can't date because we live on different floors..... BAHAHAHAHA! i love Katie Wolf.

Well how are stars made? They shoot apples in the sky and light them on fire.

R & R

I was going to spend the past 2 and a half hours sleeping but instead I turned off the lights, turned on the light above my bed and read "A Short History of Nearly Everything" while listening to all the classical music on my itunes. It was absolutely amazing and very relaxing.

Well, this weekend is definitely a "me" weekend. Meredith left yesterday randomly. She walked in a was like I am leaving this weekend to go home and I was like oh that will be fun and then she was like bye! and she left sooo yea. It's nice to not have to be quiet as a mouse when I walk in at late hours of the night.

Now Katie and I are listening to Jason Robert Brown which is SO good. I love that the recordings of his songs are so.....rough. It just raw voices instead of synthesizers. It's so beautiful.

Well, we are going to see Nine, the Tim Burton movie, tonight with some people on our floor and then after Will and Grace marathon. Stoked!

It's Been a While

Sooo I guess I can just do the highlights cuz that's always fun.

On Tuesday, I took a 3 hour nap. This was AWESOME and I think I might just start fitting a nap into my everyday schedule. Scientific study shows that napping boosts creativity and memory. I'll take it.

Then on Wednesday I was walking back from Tri with Katie when I found this really cool looking leaf. It is green orange red and yellow all on the same leaf.

Then we watched Glee which was amazing

and now it's Thursday, another laundry day. All socks accounted for.

I am so ready for the weekend.

The Ec-pic: Once Upon a Time

Sooo. Once upon a time there was this guy named Alfred walking down the street. He was walking to get groceries. But since he didn't have a car, he had to carry all of his groceries back to his house in a skateboard. As you can imagine, this is very difficult to do. As he was riding, Alfred hit a bump in the sidewalk and went flying into a very pretty lady. He was dumbfounded by her beauty and completely forgot about his groceries. They talked for a while and Alfred foudn out that she really loved the movie Dan in Real Life. It was love at first sight! So he worked up the courage and asked if she would like to go bowling with him. You see, Alfred was a pretty quirky guy and enjoyed activities like bowlling with no shoes on. So he asked her and she said she totally loved bowling! Bu that she thought it was a little creepy that Alfred like to bowl without shoes. Alfred told her that he was just kidding and that he was just being quirky again. He realized he was growing really close with the girl when suddenly a fight broke out and the girl was whisked away by some guy. Alfred was heartbroken and set out to find her. He decided to start skateboarding across the country to find her. He soon realized that she must be close by deductive reasoning, and located her only an hour away by automobile, wheter it be car or bus. So he rode public transportation to her only to find that she was already looking for him. It's just that the guy who took her took all of her money so she couldn't afford the bus. So she had resorted to waiting for him everyday at the bus stop. When Alfred heard this he jumped for joy! they decided to watch dan in real life together and they both thoroughly enjoyed it. After the movie though, alfred had to go back to college haha. and they never saw one another again.... JUST KIDDING. they saw one another all the time. the girl found herself missing a name. BAH were her initials and her name was brittany ann holander. So the girl decided that she was lonely without alfred. she missed him terribly, and wished she could see him all the time. so she moved to live right down the street from him and they often went on night walks. but on one such night walk something very strange happened. alfred told brittany to look up. they saw shooting stars! they were very awesome. brittany told alfred to make a wish. he did. then she asked him what he wished for but alfred wouldn't; he knew it wouldn't come true if he did. instead, he grabbed brittany's hand and told her to come with him. he led her to a little cave where he had set up a candle-lit meal. they dined together on some picnic food, and brittany especially loved the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. it was the perfect meal and the perfect ending to a great night. alfred looked at brittany and said i guess wishes really do come true. brittany said why do you say that? and alfred said "tonight, i wished to just spend time with you, the two of us. and here we are." brittany realized that his wish had come true, but still wanted her wish to come true. to try to get her wish to come true, she leaned in closer and they totally kissed! it was definitly a night to remember. as alfred was walking her home he said "brittany, i know we've only know each other for two weeks, but you are the one for me." he bent down on one knee and proposed. brittany said yes! and was overjoyed. they got married and watched dan in real life together everyday. it was ec-pic. After their marriage, they decided they wanted to grow as a family. so they had a cute child and named him Nate. So Nate, Alfred and Brittany moved into a larger house together, finding their neighbors to be rather crazy. They enjoyed pastimes such as skydiving and deep sea fishing. On the weekends they went to underwater basketweaving with them and became state champions. After they found out that they won the chamionship. They went to celebrate by going to Baskin Robbins and eating many buckets of ice cream but they got super fat and they had to go on a diet which consisted of bread and water. After getting back into shape, the Holander Family decided to move to New Mexico where they would raise Alpaca. But they decided that Alpaca weren't for them and decided to instead sell all of their Alpaca and start a company that makes plastic penguins which are quite popular in the New Mexico area. But that failed as well so instead they moved back to the town where they used to live and then Brittany and Alfred decided that Nate needed a sibling and lo and behold nine months later SARAH BZ WAS BORN! Thinking that they were very saavy and creative, Alfred and Brittany wrote her a rap/poem for her birth, relating her to her brother. It went something like

My name is SB-z
I like my mac cheesy
Nate is my bro-zezy
and he likes to keep it PG-z
Waiting for the ellipses

After writing that riveting poem, Sarah performed it at a poetry slam and was discovered by a CNN reporter. They wanted Sarah to replace them, so they offered her the job on the spot. Sarah decided that it would be a great opportunity for a baby, and took the job. At her first day of work she had a ton of fun being the spokeperson for Pampers which was a booming business in their day. Nate was very jealous of Sarah's success and decided to take up gambling. He learned to count cards and roll die perfectly so that he would always win. He won so much money so quickly that he was able to retire at age 22. This allowed the family to go on an all-expenses paid trip Japan where they spent their time eating fresh made sushi. A delicious treat. They visited the emperor and enjoyed watching tai kwon do masters person in the moonlight. It was the perfect vacation until Sarah's friend who is a boy called her and told her that he had just almost kissed a guy at college. Sarah was confused and decided to never talk to him again, claiming to be in a relationship that didn't really exsist. Nate, still jealous decided to do something spontaneous and blog about all of his adventures in Africa. There he went on a safari where he saw all of the awesome animals that live in the Sahara. While Nate was daydreaming about home, tragedy struck! Brittany was suddenly taken ill with a deadly strain of the common cold. You see, she was somewhat old and frail, having been held captive many years ago had weakened her immune system. She was on her deathbed when suddenly, In through the front door walked that jerk who had stolen her years ago. He came to apologize but Brittany called Alfred over. Alfred decided to take matters into his own hands and avenge his one true love by giving the man a hug. You see, if the man hadn't taken Brittany years ago, then Alfred never would have known how much he missed her and how much he loved her. He allowed the man to be forgiven by Brittany then swiflty escorted him off the premises. Alfred went back upstairs with his wife's favorite drink, strawberry milk, and found that she was miraculously healed by the power of Arizona Iced Tea because of it's superior taste which Sarah had brought her while Alfred was talking with the strange man. After Alfred made this discovery, they watched a youtube video about this black woman with red highlights in her hair. she was a goofy lady, and the video improved the mood greatly. they decided to blog about their family adventures online, and their story turned out to be the biggest internet phenomenon since lolcats. they then decided to take their little family show on the road. Since they were all very musical, they decided to sing the sound of music soundtrack at various venues around the country. Their most favorite venue by far was House of Blues. One day while they were singing for the President and the First Lady President lincoln was assassinated by john wilkes booth. it was devastating for the whole country, but especially for brittany's family since they were part of the reason lincoln died. they felt so bad that they wrote the first lady a letter apologizing that it was at their performance that this tragedy occured. The First Lady knew that it was not their fault and was very appreciative of the fact that the Holanders' were so kind and thoughtful. She gave them $1000 to buy themselves a time machine to travel to the present. they were surprised by all of the technological inventions, and especcially liked the george foreman grill. they were able to find many new friends in their new neighborhood, and loved their new neighbors so much that they decided to share their favorite way to get out of awkward situations with them. It was putting their pinky on their nose. Since their neighbors were pretty awkward, they found themselves using it all the time. One exceptionally awkward situation was when they were over at their neighbor's house and all of them were just sitting, trying to guess each other's favorite music. this got pretty boring and potentially flirtacious, so they used the pinky trick to peace it, only to find out that they had nowhere to go especially since the kids were asleep at home. As Brittany and Alfred ran out of the other building they decided to go to this music building called Nella. While they were at Nella they talked about people that they knew and brittany and alfred realized exactly how similar they are, despite having been married for so long. they missed their time together since having kids, and decided to go out once a week, just the two of them. however, this proved impossible because the next day Brittany's mother decided to visit and we all know how mother-in-law's are. She wouldn't let them spend any time together because she was always butting into their business. that's when Alfred and Brittany decided to pull a romantic move and run away together because their kids were now in college and could take care of themselves. They rode their bikes through the cornfields of america, finding great views and scenery. they rode so much that their tires began to wear out and they decided that there were better ways to travel. so they rented a hot air balloon and took off into the sky. It was so beautiful up there and they could see for miles. They actually saw the first place that they kissed and a flood of memories came back. As they sat remebering their beautiful life together they were interruped by a plane flying 50 feet above them. they were saddened that they couldn't hear each other talk, but knew that they both were completely happy in that moment. they began to ran out of gas, so they brought the balloon down to a reasonable height and jumped out and let the balloon float away. Now they were lost together in the middle of cornfields and they didn't mind at all. After sitting around talking till 7:30am they decided that they should probably find some sort of civilization before night. They walked hand in hand and found the beautiful city of peoria. it was not really the type of civilization that they were looking for, and decided that it was more fun to keep walking than suffer in poo-oria. so they left at 7:36 after grabbing some food and kept walking until they found a walgreens. While they were there they decided that the only way to stop their boredom was to create a giant slip and slide. They gathered all the materials and went up to check out but it was WAY too expensive. They didn't know what do to and thought about it for a while. Suddenly Alfred had a brilliant idea as always. He decided that it would be a fantastic idea to ride the buses for a long time. however, it turns out that the buses that alfred wanted to ride wouldn't allow women like brittany on them, so they had to rethink that plan. they found a way around it by sneaking brittany onto the bus. After getting on the bus they rode all the way to Glenview where they decided to go back to where they had first taken their night walks. they repeated that fateful night, and this time again they saw a shooting star and once again each made a wish. They sat in silence together and just enjoyed one another's company. It turns out that they made the same wish that night. This wish was that they would always have each other [insert sappy awww here]. And they did for as long as they lived which was quite a long time.

The End.

....

So I just chilled for the past 4 hours at random places around campus.

I went to the library. They didn't have the book I wanted to read so I read The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Good short story. I don't think I'm gonna see the movie anymore. I heard it was pretty bad.

I then wanted to find breakfast so I looked for a Starbucks. Google said there was one 4 miles away. So I went to the Rec Center across from the dorm and got food there at this Cafe. I tried to get back into the room and got all the way to the second floor without an I-Card and then Zach and John weren't there so I chilled in the commons and Danielle and Kaitlyn rescued me eventually.

Unexplained Phenomenon Day!

Well it's finally labor day weekend and I am at U of I with my wonderful friends from High School. YAY!

I slept through my alarm yesterday and got to Physics 20 minutes late. I almost didn't go because I didn't see the point in being that late but we had a quiz. Good thing I went!

Well, Alexis kicked me out, just kidding! She has rush so I left the room so she could lock it and I walked to the library all by myself! I am so resourceful. Now I'm just waiting for somebody to wake up and say "Hey come hang out!" We are all teenagers so it will probably be a while.

As I was trying to get into the library a spider literally the size of a quarter (see picture) crawled up the handle. I sucked it up and knocked it off so I could get in and read my book. I didn't walk this far to be stopped by some stupid spider.


In the meantime I will be reading A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson if I can find it in this confusing underground library. It's a very interesting book. It's pretty much about the history of scientific discovery since the 1800s. Pretty cool. Well, I'm gonna go try to find that book now.


Oh, and fun fact, it's "unexplained phenomenon" day on Google. Super fun.

Laundry Day

Yep, Thursdays from 2-5 is my laundry time so as my last load is drying I figured... might as well blog. I have realized 2 things as I have been doing my laundry and chowing down on my delicious kettle corn (thanks mom!).

1) I love the fact that I never lose a sock. At home sometimes my mom would do my laundry so you never knew what was going to happen to your socks. They would get lost in the abyss of the sock bin in the laundry room and never get paired again! I have successfully washed and dried 3 loads of whites with no sock left behind. I intend to keep this record through the year.

2) I am obsessed with keeping my room clean and organized. I clean like every day. And Thursday is my super clean day. I even fold my underwear now... I'm sure my parents are happy about this.

Well it's another typical crazy day here at college. I took a wonderful hour long nap after class. Now, there are two guys making an action movie on my floor. I got really excited and asked if I could be an extra. They said no... clearly they didn't look closely at my credentials (lead in musical, starring role in Katie's senior project). They don't know what they are missing out on.

There is also some guy singing beautifully somewhere below August and Briana's room. They went to check it out and report back to me.

I get to visit U of I tomorrow and get to see all my buddies!! yay! :) And that's about it.

Later!

Just Another Wednesday

Last night I went to small groups and we were talking about if we could ask God a question what would it be. My question was "What is the difference between taking matters into your own hands and giving god complete control?" My friend Heather found an awesome verse about it.

"We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall." -Proverbs 16:33

So cool. It's good to know that God will direct my path no matter what choices I make. I like that.

But today was pretty uneventful. I realized that it makes me SUPER angry when teachers erase the board and they leave that one little line or dot that they miss. I spent most of my physics class holding myself back from getting up and erasing it myself. Yes, I'm strange. Well I'm headed to the Leadership class at Cornerstone. So excited! More later.

I Found Pictures!
