August 2005


I’m at school, in a computer lab that doesn’t have a printer. boo.I have an english paper due tomorrow that has to be printed. Well, it’s not really a paper…we just had to interview a classmate and then we have to introduce them to the class, and it has to be typed. So that won’t take long, I already wrote it,I just have to find somewhere to print it. Had the other three of my classes yesterday. they aren’t too bad. Had Algebra first thing at 9:30…I like the teahcer, she’s really nice and spunky, and I actually understand the work. Then went straight to English, seems kind of boring, but that’s okay. Then an hour break and then off to what I think is going to be my favorite class – Interpersonal Communications. fun fun. I like it. so I’m done by 2:30 those days and then I can go home. Not bad at all.

Well,I am killing time until my bestest friend is out of class and we can go eat something. I’m starving!!

I’m in that type of mood that comes once, maybe twice a year: the mood to clean. I just cleaned my room. Almost done, too. had like 5 bags of garbage to take out too. Not garbage bags though, the bags you get at the store. So don’t freak out, I’m not that bad..

Twister!!

Sometimes Twister makes for some slightly awkward poses

 

So I survived my first day of college class. had psych 101 from 9:30-10:45. Wasn’t too bad… nothing extremely exciting either though. The professor seems nice, although maybe slightly boring. He’s Italian and wears bright clothes. But it shouldn’t be too hard either..only thing is the grade is based off the tests but I guess I will just have to study… new concept. haha (not really). So that’s my only class today and Wednesday. Tomorrow and Thursday I have 3 classes…algebra, english comp and interpersonal communications. I’ll be here from 9:30 – 2:30, with an hour and 15 minute break, so that’s not too bad either. I’m just here on campus waiting… I got my ID card and parking pass finally, so that’s good.. I guess I will go read the psych chapter I’m supposed to read before the next class. hope everyone else is having a good time at school!

Sooo…I went to orientation today at IUS. I never pictured myself going there, but that’s where I ended up so apparently that’s where I’m supposed to be. The orientation was rather boring though and not incredibly informative either. I saw Faith Williams though and I got a chance to talk to her for a little bit which was cool since I hadnt seen or talked to her since my sophomore year. I didnt even get to pick my classes yet though, so basically it was a waste of 4 hours. I did get my college e-mail address though.. but I still need my parking pass, student ID and classes. those would be helpful considering classes start on Monday. oh well. I am not really nervous yet, but i’m not really excited either. I hope I have some sort of feeling about it before Monday. I hate being so apathetic about everything.

Today was a good day. And I’m proud of myself. And I’m eating Buckhead’s bread with yummy cinnamon butter.

My only complaint at the moment is that I miss someone :(

I also discovered that it’s kind of fun to annoy someone by being really nice to them even when they’re being rude to you. it gets on their nerves when you can still be so nice even when they’re being mean. it kind of defeats their purpose in being so evil. now that can be good times.

Well, I haven’t updated in about forever, so I figured I should probably do that just so you (whoever you are that still reads this pathetic excuse for an online journal) know I didn’t die.
I’m far from dead, actually.. at least I hope so in the literal sense. But over the course of the last few weeks and the events they have held, I’ve come to realize a few things that I need to change about myself…thus making me not dead but rather alive. Alive again perhaps… a re-birth if you will. So yes, things will be changing about me I hope, a few of which you’ll probably notice, although they won’t happen over-night… the rest, which you may or may not notice, are things I’m going to change just for myself, so as I said it’s mostly for me so unless you’re, well, me then you probably won’t notice.

Anyway.

I went to a leadership conference at church last night and this morning… it was called Leadership Greatness, and taught, well, how to be a great leader. Which is good, because I dont think I’m a good leader. But alas, it made me realize once again that it’s not about me, it’s about God.. I’ll never think I’m a great leader if i focus on myself or what other people think. I’ve got to remember to perform for an audience of One as they said.

Here is a nice picture from our last BWA match:

Not the best one, but the only one I had with all 5 of us in it…
