So who heard me on the radio? Aren't I a rockstar? That was really fun being on WAYFM. Go NYC mission trip ( Read more... )

I almost got hypothermia. For real ( Read more... )

So I would love it if Wallace and Mac would transfer out of Hearst College and come to Western. Just a thought ( Read more... )

okay so life has been good. It's funny how I didn't really like college all that much until this year. My freshman year was mediocre at best. It got better though. As I moved off campus, turned to God, and made Christian friends, life got better. This semester overall was a good one, and I'm excited to see what's in store for spring (so ( Read more... )

This semester has been insane. Never again am I taking 9 credit hours in a summer term. That's like taking 18 credits during the year. I understand that many people can handle it, and they don't mind the craziness. I can handle the stress, but I certainly don't want to repeat it! I'm sure I'll do well in my classes, but it would be nice to not ( Read more... )

Soooo I just received a $50 check in the mail today from MSU. All because I took an hour long survey at Western about math education. That's right kids, I filled in bubbles based on my opinion and got paid $50 from the university that may or may not be bankrupting your parents ( Read more... )

So this morning I coached a softball game and I talked to the other coach (who was my English GA last semester). She was telling me how she subbed a third grade class yesterday and that it went well. I asked how many credit hours you need to be a sub and she wasn't sure but thought it was about 85. It's actually 90, but I'll have 94 at the end ( Read more... )

Ugh. Cindy Shehan is in Kalamazoo. I understand that she's got the right to express her views, but I personally think she's a manipulative, annoying woman who's using her son's heroic and noble death to advance her own cause. I can't wait until she leaves.

So I saw United 93 last night and I can barely begin to explain the range of emotions that it stirred in me. The September 11th attacks were a few weeks before my 15th birthday, meaning I was pretty young when they occurred. At the time, I did not truly understand the magnitude of the situation and it took me a few years to realize the extent of ( Read more... )

It has been so long since I last posted. I guess the biggest thing in my life is that I'm working on my faith A LOT. I started going to the Gathering (college worship) and Bible Study in January and it has been an amazing experience thus far. I grew up Christian, but church always felt like an obligation and I never felt comfortable there. ( Read more... )
