I really should be sleeping right now, but I'm wide awake. I've been terribly undisciplined in my sleeping habits lately (well, I suppose terribly is an exaggeration, but I've been undisciplined nonetheless), and it's been taking its toll on me ( Read more... )

 Sometimes I wish life was easier, but then I realize that then I would never learn anything. As much as it hurts sometimes, I like learning things. If life were easy, that would mean I already knew everything and didn't need to learn anything. And clearly, that's impossible. There's something about knowing I'm wrong and imperfect that makes me ( Read more... )

 I bought a sketchbook today at Barne's and Noble. I'm really excited about it. I really shouldn't be spending money on stuff like that, but it was ten dollars- I couldn't pass it up. It's blue and has brown flowers and birds on it and it's like humongous so it will last me a while ( Read more... )

 "try and expect nothing,
but be OPEN for anything.
Don't look far for happiness,
but never settle for anything less."

i like this quote. :) 
i need to work on not expecting things.

"I believe love is primarily a choice and only sometimes a feeling. If you want to feel love, choose to love and be patient."
i like this one too. so true.

 Can I just say that.. I love it here? 
I love my classes. They're amazing. Well, one's kind of boring but still good. I <3333 my Jesus and Christianity class. SUCH a good class. The president of the college teaches it and he's an awesome professor. It makes me feel good to be right about the one most important thing in life to be right about, and ( Read more... )

I got my class schedule yesterday. I'm taking Old Testament Survey, New Testament Survey, Jesus and Christianity through the Ages, Christian Doctrine, and The Struggle for Religious Liberty in Colonial America. My first class on Monday morning isn't until 10 (sweet!) and on Friday I only have one class and it's at 11. The only days I have class ( Read more... )

I had a dream that I went to Africa and fell in love with an African man. It was the sweetest thing. Then I got to thinking, what if, when I went to Sierra Leone, I met a guy? And after I left, we started corresponding through letters, and fell in love? Doesn't that sound romantic? I'm not getting my hopes up or anything, though. I'm just saying ( Read more... )

 I realized that I complain too much. I'm a much angier, more impatient person than I thought I was. That bothers me. Sometimes I say negative things for comic effect. It's harder for me to be positive than I thought it was. I don't know. Maybe I'm confused. I mean, I know it's really hard when I'm sitting here in pain after having my tonsils out ( Read more... )

So my new current favorite song is "Learning to Breathe" by Switchfoot. I love their old stuff so much better than their new stuff. There new stuff, though- I don't hate it as much as I thought I did. I just miss the old Switchfoot.

I got my tonsils out on Tuesday.

On the drive to the hospital I was all freaked out that I would feel the whole ( Read more... )
