| Hey,
Today was one of the most rollercoaster days ever. I was having a pretty good day, but then other people weren't, so that had me kind of down. Finally I got something to actually be upset about, and I almost broke my four year streak of no crying. I was late to Bible, but I hadn't wanted to go to class anyway. I left early, and ended up going to the bank to cash the check my mom sent me. I had dinner with Emily Saffell, I kind of adore her. Dinner was really good too. I headed over to Chelsea's apartment afterward and we headed to Hideaway to meet up with Emily. I'm glad I finally had the chance to hang out with Chelsea. Her and Emily crack me up, and it's just so what I needed. When I came back to my dorm, I set out to read the rest of Chapter 12 in Psych and then take my quiz. I realized I probably didn't have enough time to read it, so I figured I'd try to take the quiz and see how I did. WebCT was not cooperating and I wasted like twenty minutes trying to get to the quiz. Jordan came in while I was taking it, and she was asking me something and I said, "Jordan, I really just need to focus on this quiz." I think I was kind of a jerk about it, but I told her last week that I'd be super crazy this week, and I talked to her a little bit throughout the quiz. I ended up with a 4.75. I only missed 1/20 =] I read Mere Christianity and then took another shot at the quiz- almost all the questions were different, so I didn't spend a lot of time looking them up, I just took it and got a 4.5. I finished reading book two of Mere Christianity and headed over to Twin. It was really good, Aubry and Lizzy discussed for a while, and Rachel and I just listened. When they were done, Rachel said that was one of the beautifulest, vulnerable conversations she's ever heard, and I totally agreed. I actually talked about the book tonight...and it totally related to St. Anthony too. After we were done, I stayed and talked to Lizzy for like twenty minutes. She's so awesome...
Just a thought, when am I ever going to figure out what to say for my philosophy paper? =[

| Hey,
Today was pretty great. I got up this morning and worked. I came back to my room and slept. I laid in bed for about ten minutes battling myself whether or not to get up and go to church. I finally got out of bed, and I'm really glad I did. We had a guest pastor preach today, and I really enjoyed his message. I came back and ate brunch in the caf. I ate with some people that I haven't eaten with in a while. I came back and slept until I went to work. Work was actually pretty amazing; I didn't get a whole lot of work done though, hardly any actually. I talked to Caitlin for a little bit at first along with Alyssa who sat behind the desk with me for a little bit. Caitlin left me cookies, I'm hoping it's a good thing. After everyone finally left me, I read a little bit of St.Anthony the Great; it's actually so inspiring but still a little tough to make myself read. It was actually mostly silent in the lobby =] Then the staff meeting was in the lobby, so it was a bit louder. Then everyone left to go pick up their prospective students, it was quiet until they got back then it was just loud forever. Alyssa came and talked to me because her student didn't show up and she was sad about it. Lauren came to talk to me behind the desk, said she's been feeling sad the past couple days. It surprised me that she came to talk to me, she even skipped dinner and we just sat and chatted and ate Ritz crackers. Then I did a little bit of work and talked to even more people. I got McDonald's for dinner and then read for a long time. I went to Jam it Up and helped out with the pancake making and then helped Ellen and Alice clean up. I read a little more, and now Jordan is finally home. Time to catch up- I haven't seen her since Thursday morning, and her flight was delayed by like two hours, so she didn't get home early-ish at 11:00 p.m.

| Hey,
I love my life, it's awesome =D
My Thursday night consisted of many great things. CRU Bible Study was canceled which made me quite sad, because I won't see Emily for quite some time then, and I really just enjoy the ambiance there. It turned out for the better though because I did laundry, picked up the room, worked on homework, showered, and got ready for the evening. I headed to Gateway which was good. I sat down and Rachel told me I smelled really good. Then after worship, Ben asked if he could sit next to me, and I said yes. Michael's getting ready to start speaking, Ben sits down, and immediately says oh my gosh, your hair smells amazing. It made me laugh a whole lot. After Gateway, I got some hugs and then headed to my car for Hurricane Thursday bowling! I jumped in with Alyssa, Ali, Yuxuan, Buffy, and Stephanie since I was late. I had a blast though. I love the Lottie staff. I drove Buffy and another girl back. Then I headed over to Twin South to hang out with Lizzy at the desk. As we were talking, she said she'd have to share her testimony with me sometime. Then like ten minutes later, I asked her a question. She looked at me, then put her head down into her shoulder and then was like...oh come here, and I'll tell you my testimony now. I wasn't expecting that at all; I was just asking a simple question. She has an amazing story though. I emailed her mine..She got off work at 1:00 a.m., so I headed back to Lottie, finished homework, studied a little bit and went to bed.
Today was pretty good. I don't think I did that great on my French test, but it's all good. I went and took care of my financial stuff in the business office. Then I ended up standing around at the desk talking to Alyssa and Dwaina- then Caitlin for a bit. I forgot I said I'd call Ellen back, but when I pulled out my phone, Lizzy had invited me to play frisbee, so I rode my bike over to Harwell and we tossed the frisbee around. I talked to Ellen for a bit anyway and watched them play frisbee. Then we all went to dinner and then went to Twin South and watched Good Burger. I didn't stay for the whole thing, but I had a good time anyway. I cleaned up the room, advised Kayley on her life, and vacuumed! Then, since I'm picking up a couple hours from someone, I had to go to work. I've had an enjoyable time, but I need to be getting some more work done. I'll be seeing Kira in ten hours!

| Hey,
Today was a pretty great day. I woke up really early this morning for work and did French homework and played on Restaurant City. After work I headed to the caf and had breakfast, then I went to the chapel to print something off, which took me a while. Then I just had a little peaceful time in front of the blazing fireplace. I came back to my room, changed, and went to Psychology. Professor Cromer still wasn't feeling that great, but she taught anyway. I took a whole lot of notes today, and then got really sleepy near the end of class. I went to the Financial Aid Office to figure out where to get loans from exactly. I came back and applied for a loan, talked to my mom, and then took a nap. I went to work shortly after and it was good. I ate lunch really quickly and headed to Musical Horizons, Dr. Ryan just went over how to register for classes, which I'll be doing next week. We got out early, so I headed back to apply for the loan I need. Then I looked over some stuff for French. French went well, we have ANOTHER presentation tomorrow. I didn't pay attention in philosophy at all....and Emily wasn't there. I had dinner with Katie, Ali, Alyssa, Ali, and Laura. I read Philosophy for a while, sorta napped, and then watched Biggest Loser while I worked on the French dialogue. I went and worked out for a little bit, and then went to the library and printed off some stuff. Now I need to memorize this dialogue and read Psychology and Philosophy.

| Hey,
There hasn't been a whole lot to write about these last few days. Gateway wasn't normal this week, we just hung out and played games. Michael and I were on a team for tri-bond and we won! I talked to Stephanie for a while in her office after class on Friday. I went shopping at Walmart to find sweatpants for my costume. I went to the bonfire with Olivia which was pretty cool. We ate some food and then headed to the volleyball game; it was a rough game, but they won. Afterwards, Jordan, her parents, and I went out to eat at PF Changs as usual. Yesterday was the homecoming game; it was a LONG day. I had practice at 9:00 a.m. We got done around 9:30 a.m. and then I headed back to my dorm to start getting ready. I showered and blow dried my hair then tried to figure out how to do my hair; it took me like 35 minutes to do. I got dressed in my costume and headed to the band room. Christine sprayed my hair blue and I was ready to go. We ended up losing the game which sucked, but apparently now that means no bowl game, which makes me happy for the sole fact that I should definitely be able to go to the Passion Conference. I had dinner at the Rushing's house last night and it was wonderful. I laughed really hard for the majority of the night. I also found out that Katie is going to the Passion Conference as well, which is awesome. After dinner I was exhausted so I headed back to TU. I got on the computer and read for a bit, then I crashed at like 11:15 p.m. I woke up in the middle of the night, went pee, and got on the computer, then went back to sleep. Church was good this morning. Work went pretty well. Ellen and September stood around the desk and talked to my for like an hour....then like three other sets of people distracted me. I barely got any homework done. Then Ellen called me, so I talked to her for the end of my shift. We lost our volleyball game, but they subbed me in at the end to serve, and I brought us back up, and we almost won, but then we messed up and lost. I came back and saw that Stephanie was in her office, so I talked to her for a long time. I have SO much work I need to be doing....
