Fall Break

Fall Break is finally here!!!!!!!!!! Ok so it actually started Friday for most and Thursday for those extremely lucky people but for me I could not actually consider it started until after I had finished my ethics paper by 3am Saturday morning. Friday was still fun despite remaining at Tech and spending several hours writing a paper, I know I'm lame. Saturday was ok, until I finally made it home then things got better. The cookout was ok, kinda stunk that we didn't make it into the game until 10 minutes(Football clock) had passed in the first quarter. I must say I understand in part the whole swipe the buzzcard system BUT you need more than 2-3 machines out there so students don't have to wait 15 minutes, our games aren't that amazing yet it's still frustrating to miss part of the game (this problem also occurred at Six Flags Night costing each student at least one good roller coaster ride aka Batman/Superman not Ninja or Mindbender who's lines are significatnly shorter) also make the machines faster and more senisitive to those of us students with their orignal buzzcards.
Anyways, I left part way into the 2nd quarter after the touchdown, so I could finally go home. I know some may say I'm a fairweather fan but the jackets simply weren't playing well and I wanted the chance to ride when I got home. Thus far I've been able to get a lot of what I wanted to get done accomplished.

Here's an interesting verse which I've heard before yet it always pops up around the best time for me to rediscover it: “Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise. Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.” - Provers 19:20-21

Avoiding Work

Oh man, I'm trying to find things to do to avoid hw/paper. I'm succeeding so far without much effort. My brain has decided it's the weekend and it's very hard to focus when I get like this, I become extremely ADD almost hyper.
So, things that I've been thinking about:
- I really like the new Knight Rider(tv show) mainly b/c of Kit (an amazing AI Ford mustang) plus this week's episode(the 2nd of the season) had several absolutely beautiful cars! (I'm talking hot exotics and classics: Ford GT 500, FerrariS, LambourghiniS, etc.) Makes me want to drive one even more, I miss driving. I wish I could race cars, and had more time to work on/drive them.
- This weather makes me miss my horse sooo much! It's perfect riding weather, I'm so ready for fall break.
- I'm excited for a random road trip to the beach this weekend!
I am DEFINITELY in a hyper, random, dancing/singing, crazy mood.

Another thing that has been on my mind a lot lately has to do with last week. I'm not sure how much I'll delve into things on here, feel free to ask me in person and I may let you in on more. Anyways, I had an extremely rough week, probably one of the roughest of my life, at least here in college. Start with I had 3 tests all in 2 days, stressful in and of itself especially when my grades are already struggling but then again I've never been an A/B student. Then Tuesday I had a challenging conversation(one-sided, essentially a lecture and was given an ultimatum). Needless to say it doesn't really matter who was involved or what was said, I was just extremely upset (enough to make me cry I almost completely lost it and I don't cry very often it has been years since I've cried, which in a way makes me more upset). Then I woke up Wednesday morning sick which again does not happen often it's been years and I believe it was at least partially due to stress and Tuesday. Well, as you can tell it was rough I felt attacked from all sides. All this to say God is amazing, He provided friends who I could talk to, who were willing to share my burden and pray for me, He healed me, He gave me encouragement and direction. He is my love and redeemer who I am not worthy to serve. He has blessed me so much and I don't thank or talk to Him enough. Know that God loves everyone of you!
