With my cats....

Sometimes I get into my "loner" modes. I long to move away into some mountains somewhere with a bunch of animals...you know, be one of those weird people with cats..

I get into moods where the Christian circle feels so....judgmental. And it's not....I can't put my finger on why I feel that way, no person has ever made me feel judged....but sometimes I just feel like I'm not good enough, like no one wants me there....

And then I realize what my problem is...I'm not focusing on Christ Himself. I am focusing on me.
Gosh I suck sometimes.

Counting Down To Tuesday Evening...

BREAKING NEWS: I am currently really enjoying school. I like my classes, and I'm pretty sure the feeling will remain throughout the semester.

History 105: Nice prof, despite the fact that it's an 8 a.m. with mandatory attendance...I am excited. I love American History though, so I guess that makes sense. He gave up a job in the oil business because he believes in the importance of teaching history.

Islam and Politics: Aside from this one realllllly annoying girl who is also in Middle Eastern Politics with me.....it's going to be interesting. No tests either, just a paper and an oral presentation. And the subject matter is relevant and interesting.

Criminology: I will disagree with most of what she says in this course, but her approach is excellent. She has it set up as a critical thinking course....what motivates crime, reactions to it, etc. Thought-provoking. Annnd we get to watch Bowling for Columbine....hahaha. If it's anything like Fahrenheit 9/11...gosh I'm in for a real treat. haha.

Middle Eastern Politics: Ditto Islam and Politics....take home exam and term paper. I can handle that.
***********************************************************************************
So, for your entertainment, I would like to share some of the corniest lines that I have ever heard....collected over the weekend.

Ghetto Black Dude: My compliments on your perfume....whatchu wearing?
Me (in head): Sweat and cigarette smoke....mmmm.
Me (out loud, cause I am too polite for my own good, but adding a bit of snottiness to my tone): Armani.

Ghetto Black Dude: I'm just gonna give you a black bear hug and you do your thing.
Me: (dead silence)

Ghetto Black Dude: I'm just gonna lay some black sugar on you.
Me: No thank you.

Wanna-Be Ghetto White Dude: Lil Mama, you got some moves! You the first white gurl I seen that can move like that?
Me: Hahahahahahaha!!!
W-B GWD: Can I have the next dance Miss Julie?
Me: Actually I already promised I'd dance with my boyfriend. *elbow Cody* (side whisper) Cody, save me.


Why do people feel the need to talk when dancing, really? Just shut up. It's too loud to talk anyways.

In case you couldn't tell, I loooove dancing...but boys are really bugging me right now. This poor guy next to me in class kept trying to talk to me, and I was kinda apathetic. I have decided I need to work on being nice enough to talk to people...the Lord may give me some openings!

Anyways, love you all, pray for me...I'm considering going on a mission trip to the Middle East this summer....I don't really want to go, but I feel like God is laying it on my heart to apply, and I want to be in His will....

Ice Ice Baby

Ohhhhh yeah baby.

First day of school: scheduled for today. Annnd due to ice cancelled. And due to more ice, cancelled again until noon tomorrow. Annnd no work for those two days....yessss. Life is good, happy and cold right now.

You know that hell is freezing over when in Texas you have to spend twenty minutes in the HEB parking lot scraping ice off your windshield with your fingernails. I am thankful that I live in Texas...I would die if I lived somewhere that was this cold all the time...and yet I want to go to grad school on the east coast? Hmm.

I am re-inspired. Re-inspired to learn. This comes as a result of making all of my courses this semester liberal arts courses. Yessss. Life is good....as long as I don't get evicted or arrested...but that is another story for another day.

Stay safe, drink hot chocolate, and prosper

Oh My Lawd...

I have had an epiphany. You know what? I don't hate college...I am in it for a reason.

What I do hate is my business minor. Why did I decide to do a business minor? No reason really, other than I thought it sounded good. I'm not even interested in business. Stupidity. Removing the business minor courses should remove a significant amount of dread for the upcoming year. I like liberal arts courses. And that's ok.

I'm switching my minor back to film or something....

Will I ever make it out of college? I think I should go back to my high school plan of being a starving actress... :-)

A New Year

It's 2007. Wow, hard to believe that a whole year has flown by just like that. It's encouraging to know that a fresh start is just around the corner, and that our God is a God of new beginnings.

2006 was a really tough year. There were a lot of challenges, some of which I overcame and learned from, and some of which I failed. I learned more about myself than I ever really wanted to perhaps, and through that I learned more about my precious Lord.

It was the year of the totalled car, the workaholic summer, and much more....what will 2007 bring? I know that it will bring the end of my teenage years *gulp*. What else does God have in store? Can't wait to see....


Well, hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! My Christmas break thus far has consisted of a few days of serving coffee to make a little extra moola, sleeping late, watching way too many movies, and seeing friends that I miss like crazy when I'm at school...being stupid with Becca and Michelle, stalking *ahem* with Mers,, and drinking lots of coffee with whoever will accompany me.

I have to go back to College Station the 8th for work, even though school doesn't start till the 16th...oh well, that way I'll get back into the scheme of things in increments. And that will give me time to complete the heavy task of finding the millions of books I will need for my 18 hour spring semester.

Anyways, love you all, and I'll probably update more often now that the madness of Christmas shopping is over.
