Writing

So last night, three of my podmates and I decided we were going to start writing the whole New Testament, starting with Matthew. We set a goal of writing one chapter every day. I think this will be really cool, because #1, I love writing things. #2, I will actually read the Bible every day. #3, It is something we can do together as friends that is encouraging and fun. We were talking about how it makes us feel like monks who used to write the entire bible with a quill and parchment.

It is freezing outside today! What is with this weather? 40 degrees in the morning to 80 degrees in the afternoon. What is a person supposed to wear?

Craziness.

So today I got my class ring in the mail. It was kinda weird because it made me realize that I really am graduating from college next spring. I will have to get out and find a real job, not just working at Dippin' Dots or at the library on my campus. I will also have to make the final decision about where to go to graduate school and arrange all of that. I'm not really worried about any of it, its just weird to think about because I still feel SOOO young, and I am.

Random thought: While scrolling through random blogs, I noticed most of them were in a foreign language. How socially unaware I was to assume that it's mostly Americans who use sites like Blogger. Going to Europe and learning about so many different cultures will be so good for me.

Doesn't this look delicious and remind you of summer?

Spring!

I am so glad spring is finally here. My mood always gets so much better when it is not cold and all of the trees look dead.

I've decided that even though I have to work today and do a ton of homework, today is going to be a good day. I got to wake up and get pretty for church, go with a good friend, and it is just beautiful outside! I can't wait to go about my day and see what new adventures it brings!

Christmas

Today was the last day of classes! This semester actually went by really fast, and I have finally gotten used to being away from home (after 3 semesters of college. Ha!)

I live in a "pod"- four rooms, each with each two people, all connecting to a living room. And the past couple of weeks, we have all gotten really close, mainly because of a "competition". We started decorating for Christmas in our pod, and then one day, we saw that the pod adjoining to ours had copied our ideas and was trying to have more decorations than us. Well, we definitely could not have that. So for a week now, me and my podmates sit in the living room every night coloring christmas things, making paper chains, and cutting out snowflakes. I feel like I am in kindergarten again. haha. We have garland around all of the doors, 8 stockings on the wall, and lights everwhere. We have definitely won the christmas decoration contest.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

Cold

So as my first post on a new blog, I would like to start with a deep, and profound question:
Why is Barrett Hall so cold? You shouldn't have to wear sweat pants, hiking socks, a long sleeved shirt, a robe, house shoes, a scarf, and gloves inside. That seems a bit ridiculous to me.

Registration for the spring semester is tomorrow at three o-clock, which works out perfectly since I have a class at three o'clock, and a very important class at that: Walking for Fitness. Awesome. And why is it that out of an intermediate accounting class, a business statistics class, operational management, and walking class that my lowest grade is in walking? There is something slightly wrong with that.

Quantum of Solace was definitely a filler, not a thriller. I don't know exactly how to put it, but it lacked the substance Casino Royale had. Hopefully Twilight will be less disappointing.

Thanksgiving is in 10 days =)

Reading back over this blog, it sounds like I am complaining about several things. But I'm actually not. I'm more remarking on the ironies life seems to present at different times.

God bless
