Sry, didn't have time to finish the word for the title, haha. Anyway, I'm blogging because Julia told me to. She threatened me with my life, just so you know. So, Julia, this one's for you!

Busy, Busy, Busy.....
Hey ya'll!
I know it's been a while, but we have just been so busy. This past week I have had Bible Studies, papers, lots and lots of homework and I was trying to be social.
I started going to a Bible Study on Monday nights with my "big sister" called "A Call To Die" and I am really excited about it. There are about 10 people there, so it wasn't too big, but it also wasn't too small that we never got around to what we were supposed to be doing in the first place.
I have been trying to go to CRU, but it just hasn't been all that excited not being able to go to the whole thing. Because of my English class, I can only go to the last 20 minutes. I am going to keep note of it for next semester and I am not going to take a Wednesday night class. Hopefully I won't have to take any night classes, but we'll see.
Yesterday I turned in 2 papers and 6 paragraphs for English and I feel really good about them. I am not too excited about my next paper that I have to do though. I just feel so overwhelmed with stuff I have to do this week, that slapping a paper on top of all that almost pushes me over the edge.
I have a math test tomorrow, that he just told us about yesterday. A religion test on Monday and all my lab assignments (20) for Intro to Computers are due by 6 on Tuesday. Plus I have a lot of reading to do. I can't wait for fall break.
This past weekend Donna Lynn and I adopted a new pet: Mickey. It took us a little while to decide if we would actually name him, but we did. We were trying to decide if he would count as a loophole in the 'No pets except fish" rule. He visits us every once in a while, only at night though. He is very cute and he lives in the bathroom. He's also a little shy, but what do you expect from a mouse!?
I am also very excited about the weekend following fall break. Eszti, my best friend from Hungary is going to be visiting me for the weekend. She is attending Sewanee University in Tennessee and so she is going to be visiting me during her fall break from the 16th to the 19th. We are going to try to go to the Cheesecake Factory in Raleigh and Sunny Ski's. Sunny Ski's is supposed to be a really good ice cream place, but Adam, Donna Lynn and I haven't gone yet. Going with Eszti gives us an excuse if we haven't gone by the time she gets here.
Well, I need to go work. I am manning a camera for the soccer games that we are streaming live from 5-9 today. I am hoping that I will have fun!

Long Time No Post
Hey all! I know it's been awhile since I last posted, so you can thank Donna Lynn for keeping you up to date.
My weekend was pretty awesome because my parents came on Saturday for Parents Day and that was a lot of fun. We got to watch a Campbell football game, (We lost 7-34, but hey, they haven't played in 58 years!), we ate dinner at Shouse Dining Hall and we watched parts of some movies on television in the lobby. (My dad fell asleep...) I decided last minute to go home for the rest of the weekend for a few reasons: I wanted to go to Sam's Club and get my long awaited iPod, I wanted to go to church and see some of my friends, and it's just plain boring here on the weekends when your friends aren't here. So my weekend was pretty awesome.
I have been doing well this week, but I haven't been going to sleep when I should. I didn't have anything I NEEDED to do last night and I didn't go to sleep until 1:30 anyways. It's okay though, I didn't get up until 9:30 this morning, so I got about 8 hours of sleep. :/
Yesterday I had to get up 2 hours earlier than I usually do on Wednesdays because I had to go to the Alumni Convocation at 10am. It was required for our business class, but it also means we don't have class at 10am on Friday!!! WOOT!! So at least I will be able to sleep in tomorrow.

p.s. Chuck Norris doesn't sleep...he waits.

Ellipsis and Chuck Norris...
Hello everyone...
It's Wednesday, yet again. Which is a good thing, in my opinion. My busy days this week have passed *giving myself a mental high-5*. I'm just really tired, because you see, it's almost 1:00 in the morning, and i should be asleep... 'specially when I have a 9:30 in the morning, but oh well.
For tonight's (this morning's...) post, I have decided that I will examine my love of the ellipse.
I love an ellipse. Why? I have no clue. I don't know if it's because it makes me seem smarter... no, that's not it. Maybe it's because it makes me feel like I have more to say, but I'm leaving it up to the audience to figure out what it is, like a mysterious kind of thing... see? I'm leaving it up to the reader(s) to decipher what I really mean. So it's like a James Bond thing, yet not half as cool. But hey, whatever, I'll take all the cool I can get... (see? more ellipses)
Anyway, I thought that was going to be more complex than it really was. I think though that my brain has given up on me, and that's all I came up with. Oh well, who am I to fight my brain? Wait, hang on... nevermind.
By the way: If Chuck Norris got in a fight with himself, he would win.
Disclaimer: I am in NO way comparing myself to Chuck Norris!
I've had enough...

Terrible Tuesdays...
Okay, so, today wasn't that bad, I just really like alliteration. Anyway, um, not much has happened here lately, and I'm really tired, but I felt like I should check in. Just so everyone knows, I am still alive and stuff...
I hope that Wednesday is better, and I can't wait for Friday!

A Weekend of Tremendous Proportions…
In case nobody has realized, I had an amazing weekend. On Friday I came home and saw some family and went to eat with my cousin for her birthday, then came back home and just hung around. On Saturday, I wanted to sleep in, but alas, I could not… anyway, I ran errands for my mom, and hung out at my grandma’s because she had a family get-together, then went to Greenville with Reid, and spent time with him, then spent time with my little cousins that spent the night with me ( too many “spents”??). On Sunday, I went to Tarboro and watched Trash being made, lol, it’s like chex mix and stuff, which is totally awesome. Afterwards, I came back home, and we took my dad out for his birthday tomorrow, which leads me to where I am now.
I am staying at home tonight (Sunday night), because I don’t have class until 10 tomorrow and I wanted to go out to eat with my family to give my dad his front row Sugarland tickets!!!! I am also totally excited to be going to the Sugarland concert on October 11, and I am even more proud to announce that I will be sitting on the front row. I’ll be sure to take a lot of pictures, rest assure…
But I digress. So I am going to bed early tonight, probably the only night this week, but whatever. It’s 11:00, and I’m actually kinda tired. I hope tomorrow is not going to be too hectic... all I can do is pray.
Have a great Monday, ‘cause if you don’t, it’s going to suck… a bit redundant, I think...

Me, Myself and I don't know.
Time flies, when Chuck Norris tells it to. Man, I wish I had that power, except it would be the exact opposite. I feel like I am going, going, going but I don't know where the time goes.
Today I went to lunch with my Big Sister from CRU at Quiznos. I had a really good time and got to know her pretty well. At some point we are going to get together and make crepes. (It's a long and random story). We hung out for about an hour or so and just talked. I am really excited. She is really nice and I think we clicked really well.
Today I also went to the Physical Plant to get my schedule and I started working. I learned about a few of the different sound and video systems and then burned some DVDs. From 6-8 I handled a live feed video class. I set up the cameras and then sat there to make sure it didn't freeze up or shut down and then turned everything off at the end. It was pretty simple. It sounds like a lot of the jobs I might be doing I will be able to do homework after I get everything set up and started. I think I will really enjoy this job, it's something I have always wanted to try out and I am getting paid to do it!
I am going to try and attend a Home Fellowship Group with Grace Community Church. I might also babysit for one depending on what my schedule looks like. I have so many things that I want to do. I want to go to 2 HFGs, attend an all-girls Bible Study and a coed Bible Study, hold a job and keep up with school. I would also like to have some sort of a social life. But you know what they say:
Welcome to college! Pick 2:
1. Social Life
2. Sleep
3. Good grades
I feel like I have so much to do, but I don't know what I'm doing. Hopefully I'll have it figured out by the end of the Semester! :)
