House M.D.

The other day I was watching House M.D. on USA. In the episode House got shot and was rushed to the emergency room. When he woke up from surgery he started having hallucinations. He was on another patient case, and he continued working on it. His colleagues never questioned his judgment and never argued with him although they knew he was having hallucinations and memory problems. When he talked in riddles his colleagues immediately understood what he was talking about. In the end, the whole episode was a dream/hallucination even though it seemed so real. It was so realistic that House was working on a case and going about his normal job of irritating Cuddy and Wilson. When he woke up he was still on the way to the emergency room.

For hours afterward I thought about that episode. It made me think about how life is like a dream. We don't stay here forever, and so we don't need to store up material things and worry about the trivial things. One day we are going to wake up, and for me, I know I am going to be in heaven, a much better place than I can even dream about now.

College Traffic

I was walking to class a couple of days ago, and I felt like I was driving. I walked on the right side of the road, behind someone slow, and as I got closer I moved to the left "lane" sped up a little bit and moved back into the right "lane." Sometimes, I pass on the shoulder, but hey, what are you supposed to do during "5 o'clock" traffic? And I don't think it's illegal on a college campus. :)

So exams are coming up!!! I can't believe that this semester is almost over. I feel like I just got here! I guess that's good thing though because that means I am having a good time. I am really excited about Christmas break because it's going to be pretty long. :) I don't know what I am going to do with all that time, but I am going to try to take a road trip for a few days.

Today I worked from 3-10. I ran 1 of the 3 cameras at the first soccer game and then I ran the switcher for the second game. I really enjoy my job; I couldn't have been luckier. I love using computers, cameras, switchers, and learning how to use other Audio/Visual equipment. My bosses are awesome; they are encouraging and lots of fun.

I am going home for Thanksgiving, and I am really excited about it. I haven't been home for 5 weeks! Tomorrow a few of my friends are coming to visit me, and I am so happy. I haven't had any visitors yet.

Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table because he only recognizes the element of surprise.

Me............AGAIN

So, yeah, I have been trying to get Donna Lynn to post, that's why I haven't posted in so long. I thought it would be nice to see a post from her before I posted again. But oh well.

Today we just realized that we have 12 more days of school before exams!!! We are very excited! It's hard to believe that our first semester of school is almost over. Next week freshmen get to register for classes, so we'll see what happens. It looks like a few of the classes I wanted are already full. :(

Last weekend, Adam and Donna Lynn stayed with me. We went to see Pippin together, which was a really fun musical. We also went to the homecoming parade and the football game. Then I had to leave after the first quarter to go work. This weekend I won't have to work, because there is nothing going on, so other than homework, I will be relaxing, which is going to be really nice. I usually stay up late doing homework on Fridays and then I don't get to sleep in because I go to work on Saturdays, but as far as I know, we don't have any games this weekend.

The football team is still getting crushed, but I am proud of the team sticking to their guns and trying their hardest. We did actually win one game this year!!! It was an away game though, so we didn't get to watch them. :(

Classes are still going...and going...and going... I am so ready for Christmas break! A couple of my classes might change the exam date, so I won't have to stay over the extra weekend. :) Yay!! That would make my year!

If you have 5 dollars and Chuck Norris has 5 dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you.

*sheepish smile*

I know, I know....

Okay, so here's what's been going on.

This past weekend, my best friend from Hungary came to visit me!!! She is attending Sewanee: University of the South in Tennessee, and last weekend was her Fall break. Because God is so good, she was able to come visit me for 4 days! :D We had a blast! We stayed up late talking about life, watched movies, laughed, had a Hungarian meal, and didn't do homework. So all in all, it was an amazing weekend!

There hasn't been anything else too exciting or awesome to write about. Buies Creek is Buies Creek.... that pretty much sums it up.

I was looking at Google Earth and searched "Buies Creek, NC." The exact center of Buies Creek (at least where Google Earth put the 'dot' on the map) is the center of campus. Which confirms my suspicions about Buies Creek, in that Campbell University IS Buies Creek and they gave CU its own name and ZIP code to fool you into thinking it was actually a town.

My English class was cancelled! Yay! Tonight I went to CRU for real for the first time ever. It was an eye opener. We split into groups to learn about different countries and how they are persecuted for being Christians and what Christians have to go through to worship God in their different countries. I learned about Iraq and how only 1.5% of the 23 million people there are Christians and 97% are Muslim.

I am excited that the week is halfway over! It seems like it takes forever for the week to go by and get to the next weekend, but then at the same time it goes by so fast! I am amazed that the semester is already halfway over. We are going to be registering for classes for the Spring next week!

God bless!

There is no 'ctrl' button on Chuck Norris's computer. Chuck Norris is always in control.

Gansta'

Wuz up yo? I been down to the Wally World 'n' I saw... Okay, I can't talk gangsta', but I tried. 10 minutes down the street in Dunn we have a gangsta' Dollar Tree. In other words, the "r" doesn't light up any more, so it's a "dolla' tree"

Anyway, Fall Break was awesome. I cleaned a lot, but it will be a blessing to my mother.

Thursday I got to see one of my brothers' football games. It was a lot of fun and they did a great job, although it was rainy and blah weather to watch a football game in.

Friday I cleaned out the vacuum cleaner and thoroughly cleaned the den. I went to see my brother's girlfriend in the play, The Diviner. Meredith did an awesome job.

Saturday I cleaned some more, did some home work and then went to the theater with my brother and our friend. We saw Eagle Eye. It was really good. I suggest it to everyone. After I got home at 10, I watched What Happens in Vegas with my dad and then Just My Luck on my own.

Sunday I went to church and then got lunch with M&M and then went home and just hung out until I had to leave to go back to college.

All in all it was a good break, and I did get to relax, contrary to the evidence.

Brand New Week...

Hello everyone, long time, no post... I guess that's my fault isn't it? Oh well, Hakuna Matata... Anyway, so I had an amazing weekend and Fall Break!

Wednesday:
I went home with Adam, then went and had supper with Reid and his folks at Zaxby's, and it was awesome. I also met Ryan's new girlfriend, Asuka (sp?), which was pretty cool. It was really unfair though that ECU has fall break like now, and I just hated leaving him in Greenville :(

Thursday:
I went with my cousin to take my grandma's van to the shop, then I had to pick corn for the rest of the afternoon, then did homework that night. Thursday was not the most exciting day ever, however...

Friday:
OMG! Reid and Ryan were in an accident!!!!!! but it's okay, they're both fine except that Ryan is still sore. The car was towed, but I would rather it be the car than them. I also went with my dad to look at tractor trailers, then Friday night me and Reid went to the cookout where we got an amazing banana pudding milkshake, then watched TMNT, the original at his house. (By the way, your movie is still at my house, :) ) Friday was great and all, but then...

Saturday: (this is where the fun really began)
That morning, me, mama, and Danielle went to Greenville, got my oil changed, and I got a new cell phone. We came home, and I took mama's car to Tarboro to get washed. Why, you ask? Well, WE WENT TO SEE SUGARLAND SATURDAY NIGHT!!!!! First we at supper at Logan's in Roanoke Rapids, then went to Carolina Crossroads. If you've never been to crossroads, all it is is a field with a stage. Anyway, we had front row seats to see Ashton Sheppard, Kellie Pickler, and Sugarland, and let me tell you, it was amazing!!!! I was like 20 feet away from them, and it was so awesome. I don't think that it gets any better than that! I had a great time, except for the drunk folks falling all over the place, okay, so not falling, but still... it was great; the best concert, ever!

Sunday:
Did some homework, had lunch with Reid's family cause it was his grandparent's 54th Anniversary (awwwww). Then we moved junk out of the barn; not so great, but I was wearing my new Sugarland T-shirt :) Later, I came back to school :( I really miss home

Anyway, I hope that everyone has a fabulous week!!!
