When I say... "I am a Christian ( Read more... )

First of all, let me apologize for the horrible formatting of this text. I'm not really sure what I'm doing. I am going to comment further on why I think Saved is such a great movie. I do have to admit that the ending is very light-hearted, considering that the movie deals with some heavy issues, such as teenage pregnancy, homosexuality, ( Read more... )

The past few days have been really great. Machada, who was my roommate in New York, came to Houma on Thursday afternoon.  We just kind of picked up right where we left off in December, and that was great.  Unfortunately, Houma is not the most interesting place, but we made the best of it.  We actually went bowling on Friday night.  It seems like ( Read more... )

I have to comment on the Terri Schiavo case. What has happened to our value for human life? This woman is not dead. Sure, she can't speak and she can't eat, but she can smile and she can cry.

Thankfully, my honors literature midterm is over. The eleven essay questions took two hours to complete, but it was all worth it (well, hopefully it will all be worth it). It is hard to believe that half of this semester is already over. It feels like I just got to Nicholls. Don't get me wrong; I am not sad that it is half way over. I am ( Read more... )

I just realized that I only have 24 days until I see Machada (my roommate from Fordham) for the first time since December. I have a lot to be thankful for when it comes to that girl. She has helped me to become a more honest person and has taught me a very important lesson about friendship. She says that it is important to make the effort in a ( Read more... )

My friend Alaina has convinced me to join LJ. I just finished watching the Oscars, and I have to agree with her that these award shows are such wastes. She says that the clothes alone are worth enough to feed a third-world country. If you think about it, isn't that crazy? This just puts everything into perspective ( Read more... )
