I'm all alone
Kailey, my roomie, left today... Now our room is so clean and empty... and really sad... I wish I was the first one to leave... But at the same time with her gone it means a) I can listen to country music as much as I want without putting on my headphones and b) I get to go home in only 5 days!

Quick little update on my life for you all... I'M FINISHED CLASSES!!!! I finished last night at 10pm... 3 hour night class... a great way to end the semester... now I'm suposed to be studying for my finals... ewwww... I have 2 this week, 2 early next week and I'm going home the 23rd!!!! That's right in 8 days!!!!
Looking back over this past semester I can see how much God has taught me, challenged me, and helped me along. There were times when I was just sick of it, sick of classes, sick of people, sick of hw, sick of -40 weather, and God brought me through it all and I know that I'm a weaker person becasue of it.... I realize more and more that without God I would never make it throught.
Well I can't wait to see what my sumer holds now... I know that whatever it is God is going to be right there beside me helping me through it and teaching me to rely more on him.
I better be going... I'm still sitting in bed and it's 11:30... LAZY!!! that and I'm going out for lunch at 12!

Something that makes you think
This is an artical we had to read in my Hermenutics class and I found it interesting:
And I submit that this is what the real, no bullshit value of your liberal arts education is supposed to be about: how to keep from going through your comfortable, prosperous, respectable adult life dead, unconscious, a slave to your head and to your natural default setting of being uniquely, completely, imperially alone day in and day out. That may sound like hyperbole, or abstract nonsense. Let’s get concrete. The plain fact is that you graduating seniors do not yet have any clue what “day in day out” really means. There happen to be whole, large arts of adult American life that nobody talks about in commencement speeches. One such part involves boredom, routine, and petty frustration. The parents and older folks here will know all too well what I’m talking about.
…
Worship power, you will end up feeling weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to numb you to your own fear. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart, you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. But the insidious thing about these forms of worship is not that they’re evil or sinful, it’s that they’re unconscious. They are default settings.
They’re the kind of worship you just gradually slip into, day after day, getting more and more selective about what you see and how you measure value without ever being fully aware that that’s what you’re doing.
And the so-called real world will not discourage you from operating on your default settings, because the so-called real world of men and money and power hums merrily along in a pool of fear and anger and frustration and craving and worship of self. Our own present culture has harnessed these forces in ways that have yielded extraordinary wealth and comfort and personal freedom. The freedom all to be lords of our tiny skull-sized kingdoms, alone at the center of all creation. This kind of freedom has much to recommend it. But of course there are all different kinds of freedom, and the kind that is most precious you will not hear much talk about much in the great outside world of wanting and achieving and [unintelligible — sounds like “displayal”]. The really important kind of freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day.
