Ok...so for real this time

Its been so long since I've blogged, in fact almost a year. I guess some things have changed and some haven't. I'm senior now (which I can't believe and which most of the blog will probably devoted to). I'm still at valpo, still in a sorority and still a met major. I am the director of a met club, VUSIT, now. Life is still just as busy as it was in previous years.

But this year I find myself being more reflective. Maybe I'm older so feel as though I have to or maybe its b/c in less than a year I will be in the real world. *breathe...breathe* Whatever it is, i realized that some of the stuff i want to share and if you want to make a comment thats cool but if not thats cool too. I'm just thrilled that you are reading this. well...thats it...welcome back to my life!


My life in a nutshell: "what the heck to i do now?!?!"

Life

This week my life have been crazy. I two papers due and a test tomorrow. It seems I spend all my time not doing the things i should. i have probably gotten a total of 18 hours of sleep over the past 4 nights. I'm very frustated with myself because of this. I should be doing so many other things, but instead i hang out with friends or just waste time. I know i need to change but it just doesn't happen.

This morning when i came back from breakfest with Ben i received an email that shocked me. My pastor from back home passed away last night. I don't know the details but i don't remember hearing about him ever being sick. He was a great man who loved the Lord. i know that he is up in Heaven right now looking down at us. We are still going to miss him very much. It will be very different going to church and not seeing him there.

Having this happens makes me look back on my life. I look back on this week alone and see how much time i wasted. Just time not doing anything. This is very frusterating to me. I want to be very productive with my time. I don't wasting things, espacailly time.







My life in a nutshell: sobering up, i guess

Snood!

So, recently my roommate has started playing snood. Now, everyone who knows what snood is knows thats its very addicting. I have held off downloading it on my computer. But I find myself watching my roommate's game. so, i've decided that if i'm going to get addicted to watching it, i might as well play it. I just got down loading it. No good!!

here's the link if you want to have it to

My life in a nut shell: My aren't I studying now?!?!

Just some quotes or saying that seem helpful now.

"Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get
your attention!" God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts.
Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's
our choice to listen or not.

I guess I chose not to listen, now what do I do?

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning.

Face it, friend - He is crazy about you!
God didn't promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow,
sun without rain, but
He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for
the way

Thanks for the strength!

My life in a nutshell: What do I do now?

I'm BACKKK!!!

Hey all,
I know its been super long since i have posted. I don't even know if anyone will check this again. But it's back now. I promise i will post more often. So in this post i think i'm just going to give the run down of whats been going on.

This summer: this summer, as you couldn't tell from the posts, i went storm chasing. It was bunches of fun. we saw some pretty cool stuff. Finally got the shirts ordered for that the other day. Only a few months late. However, i'm still working typing up the trip log. I do love to procrastinate. My goal is to get it done before the chase shirts come out. So, i have two weeks to finish up what i have been meaning to do all summer.
Other summer news, i worked a lot this summer. i assistant mangered at two different pools and also taught swimming lessons. That was fun. I miss teaching little kids. I got involved with my youth group. I really miss hanging out with them. It was nice to just take a break my problems and my reality and spend time in theirs.

Life at college: if could describe my life at college in one word, i would say...BUSY!! On top of classe, i have my sorority, Greek IV (intervarsity for greeks), VUSIT (valpraiso university storm intercept team), and just hanging out with friends. It seems like i have no free time. And unfortunitly, my studies come last sometimes (just kidding if my p's are reading this). Its been hard to adjust, but i think i'm getting there, i think. Ill let you know when i get my next test back.

speaking of which, i need to go to class. I will try to post whenever i can. I want to put pictures up, but my stupid computer won't let me download the program. my computer has been screwy latly. I've had two hard core viruses and my CD drive won't work.





my life in a nutshell: I'm so tired...i just keep going and giving and going and eating and going....

The day after tomorrow...

Well, Since i'm dork i saw that movie tonight. It was ok. Very korny at parts but aren't all movies. As far as metoerology goes, well...I don't think we need to stress about a "super storm" forming over Canada and come down over north America. Yeah there is global warming. The world wide temperature has raised 1 degree over the past 100 years. Thats a big change for a realivily short time period. You see, weather changes, but not that quickly. It takes it a long to time to make any big switches. So bottom line...the movie couldn't happen. But whatever! It was still entertaining.

I started teaching Lifeguarding certifacation classes today. It sucks! teaching CPR is just so boring. Yet so important. I teach classes tomorrow and sunday 9-5 and then i work all day monday. Well, at least i have tuesday off. Its going to be a busy weekend.

well, sleep is good. so thats what i'm going to do now. Have a great weekend everyone!






My life in a nutshell: Does anyone want to clean my room? That would be great!
