Put on your walking shoes!

Well, even in the bubble we call school no Tiger is unaware of the damage from hurrican Katrina. Although we didn't get much rain, we are watching gas prices soar, and gas stations running out of fuel. Needless to say, most people are staying put, conserving gas, and waiting to see what happens. I am amazed at how fragile the economy is, and how this event has threatened what we once relied upon. Other than our personal focus on the news, life here on campus remains unchanged. Classes, assignments, homework, food, and sleep remain our staples in life as we try to out-last a nasty cold cycle. Two of the roommates have a cough and runny nose, I am hoping that I stay healthy, wealthy (yeah right! Did you see how much books cost this year?), and most of all wise! :-)

I have to go and study, because my first test is next week, and I want to ace it! Leave me lots of comments (all two of you who read my humble blog)...Love ya!

Another week gone by!

It is amazing how fast time flies!

Here I am, and a week has already flown by. School is going to be hard, but so far I like it which is good. The only hard thing is that all my classes resolve around the same topics not allowing me any subject changes when I'm studying. I guess there is some difference b/w the classes, but it doesn't feel like it as if you had math and english.

Anyway, what can I say life is boring for the most part. I study, go to class, eat, study, study, study, sleep, and the cycle goes on. Weekends are the hardest I like school days better, because there is a feeling of purpose and progression.

Thursday is FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) which is one of the highlights of my week, but this week I almost didn't go. Although I'm not an athlete, most of the ppl who come to FCA aren't. Sure there are ppl who are just there to look pretty and find a guy, but there is great worship and teaching, and the leadership has a heart for the Lord, so if you want to encounter Jesus you will. Anyway, I was going to go with the roomies, but they went out, and I really didn't want to go by myself. How stupid is that? Not to go because I feel awkward going alone! Thus, I went, b/c it was time to grow up. I have a cute napkin hanging on my tack board that says "Put your big girl panties on & deal with it", and it was definitely one of those moments! I actually had a great time, and on the walk over met a freshman who was walking alone too, so we joined forces and went together. It was great fun. See how the Lord provides if I would just get over myself and live unashamedly! Hehehe, my life...what can I say in the midst of the mundane God shows up and suprises me. I love it!! :-)

Back to School...

Yeah, so I can hardly believe that I'm here already! Summer flew by!! After 16hrs. of driving, I have arrived and amazingly accomplished all my unpacking. I am exhausted though, I don't even want to move from my seat...

I like my roommate, but I don't think that she's a Christian...we'll see, hopeful there will be no problems. Anyway, I think that it will be a great chance to love these girls, but even though I'm excited my heart hurts as I miss my KC girls. However, I'm am really determined to work hard and do well this semester. I want to live with excellence and that includes school, so pray for me that I will not sway under the pressure of "relaxation & procrastination".

Well, school starts Wednesday and so until then I'll be cleaning and messing around. Maybe I'll do some crafting...Hummmm...I'll try to update soon, love to all!

Mumford & Tinker

Well, it's about time that I update this thing, seeing as Mumford was two weeks ago, and I just got back from Tinker. Mumford was too HOT! As I look back on it I can't even believe that we made it through, because the heat was so bad. Yes, it was fun, and the battle was really good, but the heat index was at least 100! Tons of people come to Mumford, and I was so glad that we got to talk to people and give out tracks.

Tinker was much better heat-wise, actually we had the perfect weekend for Tinker. Tinker is a super small event, but it'll grow. I loved the smallness because we got to fellowship with all the other reenactors. I love to reach out to people on these weekends, only I want to be bolder about sharing the my Hope of Salvation with people. Over all, we had lots of fun! Jess #1 and I are crazy, and are getting better at reading eachother's minds (hehehe :-)). We can entertain ourselves to easily...it's scary...

Yeah, I can't tell everything that happened in two weekends, but use your imaginations it was fun.

Flowers

Actually, my post has nothing to do with flowers, but its a great title, is it not?

Back to my life, I am currently trying not to procrastinate studing for my review tests once I get back to school. However, most everything else around here seems ten times more interesting than memorizing bones and vitamins...well, maybe studing is more interesting than watering plants which we've been doing a lot of. I think that our house alone is depleting all the NY state water resources! Our plants drink a lot, believe me! However, I will say that we've been able to enjoy the "fruits of our labor" as beans and beets have graced our table all this week, and my new herb garden is growing and putting herbs in all our dishes. Yum!!

As for me I miss IHOP like crazy, and although my family is suppose to be here right now things are pretty dry. Maybe it's just me...I guess that it is hard to see individuals growing, but the corporate body not coming together. The Lord is so good though, and He has perfect leadership in all things. Who am I to say that things should be different? I guess that I need to pray more...Next week one of the worship leaders in the area has been to IHOP and is doing a Harp & Bowl night, and I am sooooooo excited about going! Also, the Friday night coffeehouse downtown has been going on, and has been an awsome event this summer. No, not everything is dry! :-) Ok, that's all for now...Sweet dreams all!
