*Doing my best impersonation of a Little Rascal*
I have the internet, I have the internet, I have the internet, hey hey hey hey!
While this does not necessarily mean that I will actually be blogging more, it does mean I will have the opportunity to.... Which means, maybe I will! Of course, maybe I won't... I guess you'll just have to keep checking back to find out... that is, if anyone even still keeps up with this blog after my long vacation from it myself........
The holidays are so different now than they used to be... Or maybe it is just me who has changed.
It seems that instead of looking at Christ during Christmastime, everyone is looking toward what they can get for themselves. Christmas is such a self-serving holiday! Has it always been so? Maybe I was simply filled with too much wonder to see it before...
And where did that wonder go? How is it that Christmas is just another time of year now? It used to be magical and reverent... Truly a Holy time... Now it's just a season.
Yes, I guess it is just I who has changed. I mean, Christmas does become more and more commercialized every year... But, I'm afraid, so does my heart.
I want to get back to how I used to be! I want to be like a child again! I want to see the magic and the mystery all around me... Oh to be full of wonder and joy again!
California, here I come!
In only four short days, I shall be in CA! What a thrill! I have never been west of Alabama in the US (except in airports), so I am quite excited... Ok, no, the real reason I am so excited is because I get to see Bill! :)
I haven't seen him in over two months... Not cool!
Anyway, what a wonderful Thanksgiving I will have this year! I have so much to be thankful for!
Life, could you be a little softer to me?
Life, could you be more gentle to me?
Yeah, I know this is a selfish plea,
Because Christ sacrificed His flesh on the cross for me.
But this world is hard,
And I wish it would be
Softer, softer, softer to me.

Only 28 days left!
Anyway, school is going pretty well. My roommate is student teaching in her hometown (which is 45 minutes away), so I hardly ever see her... I am missing her terribly! We have always helped motivate each other... and so the past two weeks I slacked off. Now I am working my butt off to get everything caught up with.
I am so tired of my Physics class, I could just... Well, I really don't know what I could do... But I am terribly tired of it! My teacher does not teach...instead he sits behind his desk and tells vulgar stories. How annoying!
My Critical Thinking class (which is not critical and requires no thinking) is pretty annoying, too... At least it's not vulgar, though!
Calculus and Chemistry are going pretty well. I am not sure just how well I know how to do the problems, but I understand what is going on and they are both quite intriguing!
I am going to go to a Halloween party this Thursday, which I am hugely excited about! I miss the people there so much! I was looking at the pictures from last year's party the other day, and I couldn't stop cracking up! What fun we had!
Anyway, there are only 28 days left! :)
It's such a beautiful fall day! The wind is blowing and the leaves are piling up... I wish I were still a kid and had nothing better to do than fly a kite and roll around in a pile of leaves!
Guys always say women are so difficult to understand. I can see where they get this from, because women can be... But (nothing personal fellas), guys are more than just difficult to understand! In fact, they are near to impossible to understand!!
Don't get me wrong, though... I'm not complaining! I kind of like the mystery...it just makes it more fun.
Well, I'm alive... I'm not too sure how hard I'm kicking, though...
Today was a tough day to say the least! This morning, I had a Calculus III midterm, and two hours ago I took an Analytical Chemistry exam. Whew! I am glad to have it over with!
The calc test was actually very easy... I guess anything is easy compared to Calc II, though! The chem test was much tougher. I am really not sure how I did on it... I really needed to do well on it, since I did so poorly on the first test in that class. Hopefully I did!
And now it's time to just sit back and relax for a while... Ahhhh! :)
Wow... I'm blogging again... twice in a week... can you believe it?!
Well, unfortunately I don't have anything too intriguing to tell you about.
I would appreciate it if you would be praying for my church. We are starting our eight-week long building campaign next week. Building campaigns have proven to be a very stressful and hurtful time in other churches, and we are going to work very hard to make sure that we co not suffer any casualties. If you wouldn't mind, I would be very appreciative if you would pray that we reach all our goals without suffering.
