I love Wednesday!
Sometimes, it's just a wonderful day.
My day really didn't start out all that great, to be honest. I mean, sitting down in Big Al's (the "restaraunt in the basement of the campus center) at midnight working on a take home Greek test really isn't my idea of fun at all. Especially when you are walking people through it... It's good for me though, I suppose, to try to work on stuff more slowly and have to explain it to people. I mean, I work on it better and I learn it because I'm teaching it at the same time. But still... I worked on it til one, not at all enjoyable.
I walked Michelle back to her dorm since I was working with her on it (and had been for... Ok, we technically started at 8:30 because I was in and out to Ryan's birthday party) for a while, so I did the whole polite chivalry thing :-) We got to the front door and I saw another one of my friends working dilligently at her computer, and I thought "That's gotta stop." So I threw a snowball at her window and scared the heck out of her... It was hilarious.
I came back down to my room in a decent mood, but still a little out of it (Greek does that to me). I walked into Josh's room since Alec was asleep and talked with him for a while. We watched the PETA commercials for the Super Bowl that were (rightfully) banned from being shown. After we talked for a while, he said that he wanted to finish watching I, Robot because he'd never seen it (we'd watched the first hour the night before). So we stayed up until 2:30 watching that before either of us went to bed.
I got up at 8:30, after the third or fourth time an alarm went off in our room. I showered, put my sweats on (I almost never wear sweats to class... weird) and walked outside with Alec. Seriously, it's a freaking nice day outside. Like really, it's just absolutely beautiful. I could be outside in shorts and a t-shirt no problem. I stinkin love it a whole whole lot.
I got to Intro to Christ and class was ok, we talked about Henry VIII who of course I know nothing about... right.
Literature of the Western World with Dr. Bressler is just an amazing class. He and I are really comfortable with each other because we have personalities that are somewhat similar... We both make fun of each other in class :-) The last book we read was The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Well, the class read it, I didn't... I still got 20/20 on the quiz though. Last class after we talked about Lewis for a long time, I asked him if he was going to talk about the right order to read through the Chronicles. He said we'd talk about it last time...
So today that's all we did. He went through the different arguments to read them through in which ways and talked about lots of different aspects of them. If I didn't have class in half an hour I'd go more in depth, but they tell me that class is a good thing to do around here :-)
Then at chapel Nickole Braddock, the founder of OneVoice ministries talked about sexual abuse. It was clear that because of some personal history with it it was s difficult subject for her to talk about, even after years of traveling and speaking about it, but it was an excellent chapel. At one point she was talking about audiences she'd had in the past and she pointed to me and started talking about a guy "like this fella right down here in the front" who was really energetic and loud... My friends and I all got a kick out of that :-D
So I'm a little hyper with the smileys today :-) But it's ok, because I'm in a good mood! After chapel I walked to the campus center for lunch and hung out with Sean Read, Matt Gibbel, and Sarah (I won't embarass myself by trying to spell her last name!) something or other who yelled at me for not getting out of the girls dorm fast enough last night. Then I went up and ate lunch with Sean and Matt and Ben Valentine, a guy I kind of know from ROTC because Alec is in it. We talked about random stuff until we finished eating. It was exciting.
This post really should stop now, because I'm sure it lacks any sense of coherence at all. But I'm in a good mood, so you should read it anyways. If you havn't already stopped. Why am I still talking?
I walked downstairs after hanging out with random people upstairs for a while and I talked to Sean some more about random stuff like a Youth lock-in that I might help out with. Sean wanted to know if I'd for sure be able to make it through staying up all night... I laughed.
Then I went over and talked to Rebecca Crouch, who I don't really know how I know. I know she is good friends with Paul and Katrina and Sean and the seniors that I hang out with, but that's about it. But she works in the Athletic Department and so I talk to her every time I go up to the gym for anything... Speaking of which, I really need to start working out again. Or doing anything physical. After being sick last week, I feel lazy and lethargic and I have energy that needs to be burned! HEHEHEHE.... BE SCARED!!!
sO REALLY, i HAVE NO IDEA WHY i'M STILL TYPING. aND i'M HAVING FUN PLAYING WITH CAPS LOCK.
bUT i GAVE rEBECCA A BACK RUB (AND WAS THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED BY THE RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF HUGE KNOTS IN HER BACK) AND TALKED WITH HER ABOUT SOME STUFF INCLUDING HER RECENT BREAKUP AND HOW SHE IS HANDLING IT AND ALL KINDS OF STUFF LIKE THAT. tHEN pAUL ENDED UP IN OUR CONVERSATION AND i TALKED WITH THEM FOR LIKE HALF AN HOUR. tHEN i WALKED rEBECCA UP TO HER OFFICE BECAUSE i DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO COME BACK DOWN TO sOUTH AND CLEAN LIKE i WAS GOING TO.
Are you annoyed with my playing with caps lock yet? I sure am! On my way back down here to grab my music for voice lessons (among which is the song Stars from Les Mis) I saw my friend Joe Stempert (who is maybe one of the most quality guys I have ever met) driving back down so I got into his car and drove down with him and talked about our mutual getitn screwed out of RA/HR positions. I have to admit though, his situation sucks a whole lot more than mine... He had it all locked up until some crap happened that is totally not fair to him at all and shouldn't have affected his hiring in the least. But he is definitely taking it well and realizing that it is the Lord's plan for him and so that was good.
So I don't know why at all. Maybe it's just the incredibly wonderful weather that God is blessing us with here at Houghton (although I have been assured it will drop below ten degrees this weekend... Hurrah!), and maybe it was that yesterday also was a stellar day (I'll save that conversation until I get to call my parents and tell them about it, because it was freaking awesome!!) but I'm just in a crazy good mood. It's also because I don't have Greek class today:-P I have a ton of energy even though my body is tired, I am just really happy and in a good mood. For some reason, I thought you all might like to know :-)
Well, I suppose I have to go to choir. I really do.
TTFN, Ta Ta For Now!

I am so glad you've had such a tremendously, wonderfully, fantastically, fabulously, crazy good day. :)
Sounds like an awsome day. I am under the impression that you really need a day to go well. I will keep praying for you and hope to hear from you soon.

Glad you're having a good day or two running!
Just posted another poetic form psalm. Give it a lookie-see!
It makes my heart smile to know that you are living so joyfully. Keep a smile on your face and God in your heart and always sing! I miss you.
it is those days, the good ones, that remind us that things may get hard but in the end its alright. in the end, it will all be days better than our best of days.
when all is said and done, it will be good. it may not be good at the time, but it will be.
im glad to hear that everything is going quite well right now. those are the kinds of days that i think we as college students live for. we have all gone to new places, where everything has been stripped away. we don't have our friends, our family, or any of our former reputations. we have nothing left of who we were, but rather 4 years to shape who we will become. at times we wish to return to the places where we had grown and learned; to be the person we had once been. the faces are so different, the people have all changed, and we begin to doubt the life we had lead. what it all in a book that we had read? its true, all of it, it all encompassed our lives for so many years. and then its gone. we start again. some days are good and some days are bad, but we have learned that one thing is always constant. despite all our changes, despite all the pain, the strife, the heartache, and the growing, there was a constant. no matter the day, God is still the same. He has walked the road, and he reminds us that there is nothing that we could ever do that would never make him love us less.
remembering that fact, the good days come and come and come. we will never be the same. we will never be who we once were. we will be better! we will come out stronger, harder, much more rooted than we ever were. we will come out as the people that he meant us to be. we will finally become us.
may the good days continue.
glad you approved of the picture on the Koins screen tonight. :-)
I hope you are doing well and you can enjoy spring break.
