Bored.

Well, I'm kinda bored at the moment, so I think I'll tell you what's been going on today.....

• I woke up late this morning! I didn't get out of bed 'till about 8 o'clock!
• After waking up late, I went downstairs and ate breakfast. I had blueberry bagels and chocolate milk.....yum!
• I finished some stuff for my speech class.
• Worked out with my sister, Soaring Amongst the Clouds.
• Wahsed my bed sheets and pajamas.
• I ate lunch with The Warrior.
• Watched Home Improvement.... (very funny show! You should watch it sometime.)
• Washed my comforter and pillow cases.
• Took a shower.
• Painted my toe-nails. (I even put little sticker flowers that are meant just for painted nails! I have to admit, my toes look very cute!)
• Got ready to leave for the University. (Soaring Amongst the Clouds needed some textbooks, and we both wanted to find out where our classes were.)
• Left for the University. 2:30p.m.
• Arrived at the University. 3:20p.m. :o)
• Purchased her text books.
• Waited in the breezeway for the rain to stop coming down so hard so we could go back to the car to get our umbrella.
• I volunteered to go get the umbrella while Soaring Amongst the Clouds waited. (What was I thinking?)
• Went to get the umbrella. (I didn't get very wet at all! YAY!)
• Found Soaring Amongst the Clouds in the breezeway.
• Went to the Student Union to get a map. (I couldn't remember the name of the buildings where my classes were....oops.) :o)
• Found the building on the map.
• Went to the building where my first class is being held.
• Struggled to find the second building.
• Found the third building pretty easily.

By this time, it's already 5p.m., it is really pouring, and we're soaked from trying to share one umbrella while walking across the campus to find my classrooms.

• Waited in the breezeway about twenty minutes before deciding to make a run for it to get to the building where her orientation was being held.
• Got to the orientation room very easily.
• It was still early, (her orientation didn't start 'till 6p.m., remember?) so we went and found all her classrooms.
• We waited outside her orientation room for around fifteen minutes.
• She went into orientation, and I braved the pouring rain to come to the Library.
• I activated my Library card. (Which is just my university I.D. card. It just had to be activated before I could check anything out of the Library.)
• Logged on to my facebook account.
• Poked a few people on facebook.
• Checked my mail.
• Took another quiz for my speech class.
• Read some articles from Fox News online.
• Started this blog entry.

Well, I've got you all caught up! I'm currently still waiting for my sister to get out of orientation. I'm still very wet from the amount of rain water I've collected on the pant-legs of my jeans, and I'm absolutely freezing!!!!! Oh well, I'll just keep on thinking of my sweet-heart: Steps..... :o) a nice warm dinner waiting for me at home; my nice, warm, clean pajamas; and the comfort of being in my own home! Yeah..... I'll just keep holding on to those thoughts.

O.k., that's all I've got for now. Adieu!

Until next time,

Wake up..... wake up.... wake up!!!

Well, I'm not waking up because this isn't a dream. I wish it was, but it isn't. Summer (summer vacation anyways) is coming to an end, and the hum-drum routine of school is going to hit full force in two days.


NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't wanna start college!!!!!!!!!!!!!


O.k....... I've had my little pity party. I'll do my best to stop complaining. :o)


However, as I've thought about classes starting, I've realized that I'm quite fortunate. God has truly blessed my sisters and I. Still Waters has no classes on Fridays, which is great because last semester she had to go to her university every day! Yup, that means Monday-Friday....not fun! Now she won't have to. YAY for her!!! Soaring Amongst the Clouds and I were able to get all of our classes on Tuesday and Thursday. YAY!!! I only have to be there twice a week (minus any extra labs I might need to be there for) but, I'll think about that later. So you see, God can bless us even when we aren't expecting it! :o) That is such a comforting thought!


Well, I don't know what else to say at the moment. So, to keep from endlessly rambling on about silly little nothings, I'll get going. :o) Because I will you know.....ramble on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, yeah. It can get pretty bad. :o) So I will bid you all adieu!

Until next time,

Entry one..

Tonight Youth-I-Versity started. YAY!!! This has to be one of my most favorite youth events. Every night we get together in the youth building and go to classes, play games, watch movies, and have snacks. The schedule was something like this:

1-First class
2-Snack
3-Class two
4-Game time
5-Movie

Tonight there were 4 different classes. Now, we only get to go to 2 of them so we have to choose carefully. I went to Mr. Geico's class and Mrs. Redhead's class. Mr. Geico taught about anger management. How we have to be careful and control out tempers. Mrs. Redhead (who happens to be our youth minister's daughter) taught how each member of the church is important.

We had ice cream for our snack. You could choose between an ice cream cone, or a waffle bowl. The ice cream choices were: chocolate, vanilla, or chocolate & vanilla & strawberry.There were all sorts of toppings to add! There were gummie bears, cherries, sprinkles, crushed oreos, and hard shell to put on top if desired. I selected an ice cream cone with chocolate ice cream and hershey's hard shell to go on top. It was amazing...... :o)

After that we went to our second class. It was neat because this year The Warrior is moving up to the youth. For the second both my brothers and I were together. We didn't plan it, it just ended up that way. It was a great class, everyone had a good time.

Next was game time. Tonight they had a jump rope contest. Not only was it a jump rope contest, it was a doubles jump rope contest. You had to be in teams of two and be able to jump into the swinging rope and then jump out after 3 synchronized jumps. As the teams moved up, the more jumps they had to make. We started with 3, then 5, 10, 15, and the last one was 20. Two guys ended up winning. The grand prize...... 20 dollars! It was so much fun to participate and watch. Steps and I were on a team. We got all the way to the third round, but once we hit 8 jumps, we somehow lost it and got eliminated. It's all good though, we had a great time!

After the jump rope competition was over we watched a movie that our youth pastor had picked out. It was a bit corny, but it was funny. We watched half tonight and we'll finish the other half tomorrow.

Well, that wraps it up. A fun time was had by all. Adieu!

Until next time,

Well....

Well....I told you I was bad about this blogging thing! I have a hard time putting my thoughts into words. I'll start writing a post then I'll get stuck and not know what to do. I have a ton of saved drafts just waiting to be published..... Oh well, I'll just give you a quick recap on these past couple weeks.

V.B.S ended and I was off to summer camp. I haven't been to one since seventh grade. We went to Bryon College in Tennessee. There were a few mishaps while we were there, (there's always those few kids who do things they aren't supposed to do.) Anyways, a lesson was learned by all, I hope. I cannot speak for the ones who did wrong. O.k., after I got back from camp I had one week to rest, wash my clothes, and pack again for the mission trip.

For this mission trip we went to Elvis' birthplace! It was an amazing experience. I was on a crew with my sweet-heart. :o) That was something I was not expecting. It was a pleasant surprise
though. We were on a crew with other older high schoolers and some older college students. We had a roofing project. There were quite a few holes in the roof that needed to be patched and the chimney needed some work too. We had a great crew though and we were finished before lunch on Thursday morning. Since we were done we got moved to a new work site. They had a more difficult roof and needed some extra help. We were the third crew on the new work site. Imagine, over 20 people working on a roof and painting......it was interesting! It went well and we were finished by 4 p.m. on Friday.

All in all it was a fantastic mission trip. There were 31 projects and they were all completed by Friday. The most important thing however, was the number of people who accepted Christ. There were over 10 people who became Christians. It was an amazing experience, I can't wait for our next mission trip...

Once we got back home I had college calls to make. It was no fun let me tell you what! Those professors are horrible at returning calls and e-mails. In fact, I'm still trying to reach one of them regarding sign language stuff. I went this past Monday to the college I'm attending to get my books. :o) I feel like an official college student now. I've got my books, my backpack, binders, tons of paper, pens, highlighters, pencils, and erasers. I'm ready to start....maybe. ;o)

Oh, G.I. Joe and I also went to a baseball game with our youth group Monday. A fun time was had by all!

This Friday the high school girls Sunday School class is going ice skating. I haven't been ice skating in forever! I can't wait! It's going to be so much fun....

Next week is Youth-I-Versity. Basically is a V.B.S. for middle schoolers and high schoolers. But don't tell them I said that, they'll get offended! Instead of it being during the day, it'll be at night from 7-11, or something like that. I have to check the schedule and make sure.

Well, I think you're all caught up. I'll try to get better at this blogging thing. It may take a while though. Now, I will bid you all adieu!

Until next time,
