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!
