Picture time, yay!

Man, okay let me set up the scene for you bloggers (all three of you). This morning, I had a heavy day in front of me. I had two tests to study for last night. It was kind of difficult to do because I also have plenty of assignments that are due on the day of the tests. Arrgh!
So we had dorm devotions last night, lasted about an hour. And my room had prayer time, lasted about just as long. So I was looking at starting my studying at 11:15 p.m. No big deal. Studied until 1 in the morning (how was I able to swing that?) I'm not sure. Everything was fine until Cameron started to act like a lunatic. Basically keeping everyone up. I woke up 6:45 this morning. What so bad about that? I usually leave the dorm at 6:45 in the morning. I had to take my shower, and get ready. I didn't leave the dorm until 7:20 and my class started at 7:30.
Made it to class on time, Praise God. And the test I spent studying for all night last night was the easiest test ever! Out of class early and here I am...so yeah, coolness. Just by reading, it doesn't sound so hectic but it was. But I'm fine now...yesssssss.

It's been a whole month being here this semester. It feels like an eternity. I have to wait one more month until fall break. However, I'm not coming home. I've decided to go over my friend Scott's house who lives about an hour outside of Nashville. It'll be fun, I can't wait! He still thinks that I'm going to drop out on him at the last second. I've already made up in my mind that I'm going; that is of course something serious happens. But that's the plan. Well, that's about it. Later ya'll.

Why do I look so depressed? Because I'm in the stinkin' lodge! That's why! You'd be as depressed as me if you were in the stinkin' lodge! Ahhh!

Hey, if any of you are wondering why you can't post any comments on my blog, it may be due to the fact that I'm a Blogger Beta user and the rest of you just use the regular blogger. I believe these guys are working on it so I'm just being patient.
Girls are awesome!
Peeth out.

I just got Mozilla Firefox as my internet browser. I don't know why I got it. Maybe it's just my rebellious spirit against Microsoft. Oh well, time to waste time...er...uh, I mean study. Peeth out.

Okay, so here's the thing. I have two laptops: my rinky-dink Gateway and my manly Gateway. Both have pro and con to accompany them. My rinky-dink is small, loud, and slow but it can connect to the internet. My manly laptop is fast, and sweet lookin! But it cannot hook up to the school's internet. So I'm on my little rinky-dink laptop posting this entry.
Oh yeah, sorry about the whole "no picture thing." It's kind of complicated but I'll try to post some soon. Well, until next time.

Hey, guess what? My laptop has a camera card reader! So I can take the memory card out of my camera and put it in the laptop and put pictures on that way. Isn't that sweet? Of course it's sweet! Yes! Awesome! Ahhh!

Hey, everybody. It's been a while, I'm sure. Just a bit busy with classes starting and what not. Funny thing, my internet doesn't work at the school anymore. I think it's because they don't have my wireless address. I don't want to give it to them but I think if I have to in order to get on the internet there at school. But right now I'm at Halftime Pizza. It's a cozy little pizza place. I felt kinda bad coming in using their internet with no intention of buying anything so I just ordered some fries to tie me over. Being considerate, ya know. Nothing bad about that. I still love Buddy's BBQ though. I'd probably go there more than here because it's never crowded there. I've heard stories that this place on game nights are chuck full of people.
Heh, classes are going...uh...they're going. A lot of readinig. I'm taking three Bible classes: Minor prophets, poetic books, and pastoral epistles. And I'm taking a class called Christian Workers Library, in which I have to read Pilgrim's Progress, Foxe's Book of Martyrs, and two other books; along side several assignments. (sigh)...Oh well. There's nothing to it but to do it. Well, I gotta eat these loaded cheese fries, catcha lata!

That's right folks! A new laptop! Eat your heart out Toy!
Good news:
Today, I just purchased a Gateway Platinum edition ML-37 with a AMD Turion 64 X2 processor with a 1GB DDR memory and 100GB hardrive. Platinumberg! And don't forget about the intergrated WLAN card.
Bad news:
It cost $937.91 and I put about $490 down. And I paid for it with...with...my...credit card. I liken it to Egyptian bondage. You get the fish, and the cucumbers, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic(Num. 11:5), but you still get smacked upside the head by an Egyptian if you don't make your own bricks...I'm not making any sense, am I? Oh well, makes sense to me.
Well, I'm going to enjoy this for a while. All ya'll have fun and keep smiling. I know I will be...

Okay, so my computer says that I'm not connected to the internet but here I am posting something...strange, right?
Anyway, here are my classes: Theology of Christian Ed., Poetic Books, Homiletics, Greek III, Minor Prophets, Christian Workers Library, and Pastoral Epistles. 18 credit hours, fun fun fun.
I haven't posted in a while but be patient. Internet IS faulty and time is crunching on top of me, so to speak. So, if I don't text anyone often...I'm kind of in a bind. Just bear with me. A lot of work so I appreciate your patience. I'll have pictures next time, Lord willing. Well, keep smiling ya'll.

Hey, feeling down? Need some motivation? Then go to www.pathtoeternity.googlepages.com if you need some, you pathetic, low self-esteem having chump!

Yeah, I preached tonight. I wasn't nervous at all, despite how I might've sound. I don't stutter badly, but I did do it on a couple of occasions. Not because of nervousness but because I wanted to stay on point but there were different things I wanted to say, and they jumble together sometimes and then bleh, bleh, bleh comes out. But I praise the Lord for being with me, I couldn't have done it without Him and without people praying for me.
Now that the hard part is out of the way, more packing. (sigh)

Okay, this will be the last time in a long time that I'll title an entry like this. But there was a reason why I had to go to the mall this morning. One of the Superman shirts I bought had a terrible defect on the back. And I needed to go exchange it and bring the car right back so my father could go to work on time. I guess it wasn't so bad exchanging the shirt because I actually got the right size this time. My skinny wee-man of a friend wears a medium shirt. Wow, I wear a XXL shirt. I could wear a XL but if I don't want to look like a freak, I'll wear the XXL. Anyway, I exchanged the shirt, picked up some chicken-n-biscuits for me and my dad, and got back in plenty of time for him to go off to work.
I've been spending the last couple of hours packing and cleaning and packing. It's happening again. Some of you I'll be leaving (yay) and some of you I'll be coming to (yay). Now that I really want to bring my iPod to school, I know I'm not going to. Maybe I'll bring it after a break but for now, it's just going to chill in the house.
Preaching tonight. I'll post something to let you all know how it went. Gotta go, peeth out.

Actually, they weren't errands at all. I just wanted to go to the mall one last time before I left for school this Thursday. I spent a lot of money today, though. I bought another Superman t-shirt for another friend of mine (because he said he wanted one. It set me back 20 bucks, just to let you know DSD), some shorts for recreation, a John Coltrane CD (classic jazz, you cats know nothing 'bout dat), a whopper jr. and a medium drink. I spent a total of about $50 or so. And no Toy, I didn't use my credit card and no "girl who likes to refer to herself as 'Me'," I didn't buy you any food. Besides, how cruddy would it have been if I burst into your classroom and chucked some chicken nuggets at you? It'd be pretty weird; fun but still weird beyond all reason.
(sigh)...I still got some packing to do and I still need to brush up on my sermon before tomorrow night. But before I go, let me tell you this story of what happened today. I was coming out of FYE (buying my Coltrane CD) when this guy came up to me.
"Hey, my man? I got this movie ticket for Superman and I want to try to get a refund but I'm not really supposed to be on the premises. I was in there but some girl spotted us so me and my friends had to leave. So could you go and get my money back for me?"
Okay...several things wrong here and all these things were going through my head. First, if you weren't supposed to be in the mall then why are you even here? How on earth did you get a ticket if you weren't supposed to get one? Second of all, I saw you walk out the exit and you had NO ONE with you. What friends? I even saw you walking around the mall several times by yourself and you're by yourself now. Thirdly, that's what you get for not using your brain. But all that came out was, "Don't you think that's a little dishonest? I wish I could help you but I just don't feel right about doing that. I'm sorry."
How's that being dishonest? I don't know but he left me alone. I really felt like helping him but something told me that he was trying to hustle me for some reason. Heh, oh well. Gotta get packin. Until next time...

Well, they weren't really errands per se. Let's see:
1. Went to the mall and bought 2 pairs of dress slacks and 2 t-shirts (Venom for me and a Superman for a friend.
2. Got a haircut with extra long sideburns...yeah buddy!
3. Went to McDonalds and bought a McChicken, Dbl Cheeseburger, McValue fries and large sweet tea
4. Picked up my sister from her 1st day of school.
That's about it, I guess. Just a couple of more minutes and then it's off to work. Peace E-Z err'body (everybody for the laymen)

So, I had to leave in between services today because I got light-headed. My head was pounding, it took effort to do everything, and I couldn't pay attention. So I drove myself home and told my sister to take the bus home. I took a 2 hour nap but that didn't help any. When I sit up or stand up it seems that all the blood leaves my head and I have to lay back down again. But when I lay down, my head starts to pound again. I don't know what it is but I hate it. But the good news is that it only lasts for about a day and I'm already feeling better. Maybe it's because I needed food in my system. I ate a few chips and a bowl or cereal.
Anyway, I do plan on going to church tonight though. Hopefully, I'll feel better tonight than I do now.
