In less than 168 hours I'll be home. I should be home late on Saturday, April 29th. My last final is Friday from 10:30-12:30. Wednesday I have an 8 AM final (speech) and a 10:30 final (environmental ethics). On Thursday our theology paper is due and then on Friday I have my Spanish final. I think I could potentially get all A's (as in NOT A-'s) but ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a great day. Had an ethics quiz that I think I did well on, then went to Stephanie's church to help from 11-12 with the Rome Community Kitchen. There's a soup kitchen everyday in Rome and this is Steph's church's week to do it. The man who was cleaning off the plates gave me his card and another card with a picture of his wife and ( Read more... )

This is so crazy. I'm so glad that we have freedom of religion in this country... and hopefully the same ideal spreads all across the world.

So it's been a fun spring break. I haven't done any of the homework or errands I meant to do, but oh well. Have spent a lot of times with good friends and have been coming home at like 2 AM every night, haha ( Read more... )

So whoo hoo we got the supersuite townhouse! We're in B2. What's even more awesome is that the coolest people in the world are around us! Last night Jen Adams was telling us that her and her roommates are across from us in B1, Alison & Amanda and their roomies are above us, Kim & her roomies are in C, and that Nicole, Deana, Nina & her roomie are ( Read more... )

I thought about waiting another week and then it would have almost been an entire month since I had last updated, but ah well. It took forever for that last illness to go away, and then two Fridays ago I woke up early to study for my first speech final, but I threw up about 5 times. Luckily I haven't been sick since ( Read more... )

I am so sick. I started feeling kinda bad on Thursday night, felt really achy and tired on Friday, and wasn't really able to do much yesterday. I figured today I'd wake up and feel much better, but I feel worse. I have a really stuffed up/runny nose, a sore throat, and all of the mucus is draining into my throat, making me have to cough a lot to ( Read more... )

Oh man yesterday was amazing... last night an official P.O.D. e-mail was sent out, and it was a big deal e-mail because the album came out today. It's also a fairly large e-mail list; out of the Warner Brothers' label they have the second-largest e-mail list (second to Metallica) with 200,000+ subscribers (as of several months ago ( Read more... )

During the last theology class, we discussed the Trinity. The Trinity is a pretty basic part of Christian theology, so I never have really thought about it too in-depth. The author of the book pointed out that many people are guilty of regarding the Trinity as a being that has submissive parts, and it hit me like a ton of bricks in that I have ( Read more... )
