Ello.
Lola is done! I finished training my rat named Lola, for those of you with whom I have not conversed about my dear furry friend, last night, at approximately 1:15 am. She did not complete her last exercise. Alas, I tried for hours upon hours, petting her, yelling at her, sining to her, tapping on her cage, banging on her cage, covering her cage, uncovering her cage, but no. She did not do it. But that, is ok. Because I have 91 documented attempts and that has to be worth something. And I have some lovely graphs describing the 91 attempts thanks to my dear Ben Slade who stayed up with me until the end.
I have only to take a test on Monday, finish my Psychology Notebook, write one more paper, and then it will be time for finals. Honestly, I think finals will almost be a relief in comparison to the papers/tests/rat/etc. At least I can know what to expect.
At Covenant of late, we have been discussing who looks like what type of animals. It has been determined that I look like some sort of cat, Joben looks like a turtle, Hope looks like a horse, Nathan looks like...I don't remember, Aislinn looks like a squirril or something to that extent (the cute kind), Ben looks like a golden retriever, etc. So, I would like some imput on who ya'll think I look like as well as any of the aforementioned people, as well as yourself or another mutual friends at home. This is of course, a non judgemental, non threatening, and non insulting sort of exercise, to please curb your comments in that general direction.
I am exceedingly hungry at present, but there is no food to be had other than the granola bars which are approximately three inches from left hand and which I will be partaking of quite soon.
If only writing essays went this fast, life would be so much easier. I think that I shall go now. I love you all!!!!
Hi! It's midterms week and I'm writing a paper. I just finished another paper. Does anybody know who wrote "I'd Rather Have Jesus?" I thought it was Robert Murray McShayne, except that's obviously not how you spell McShayne, and I can't find it online. The internet has failed me. I am disappointed. So why am I choosing to write now? Not quite sure. Just gathering my thoughts before I proceed with the paper writing process. Everybody is freaking out here. It's ok though. We'll all live. Strange things keep happening with me and Hope, and some of them shall never be repeated to another human soul, but if you mention the fact that they exist we will both pretty much die laughing. It's that funny. So anyways, I'm done for now. Come home Heather! Call me back Micah! Claire, have you ever considered owning a rat named Lola? Joben, you're sleeping. Hey Aunt Donna! Nathan, keep working on the T shirts. I look forward to their production. Caroline, I almost called you earlier because I couldn't remember msconfig. But then I remembered. And my phone was missing at the time so it's good that I remembered. Bye guys! Love is eternal.
"I bought organic shampoo!" *sob* "It smells like mixed greens. and I bought some gel that smells like citrus!" So, everyone smell the random readhead and see if she smells like like a spinache-citrus smoothie with a hint of wet dog. (That'd be the Burberry perfume. ;)
Random Wal-Mart runs.
Climbing shelves to sit in random chairs.
Getting covered in pink fuzz.
Nathan getting covered in pink fuzz. (even better)
Black t shirts.
Scenic drives.
Calling 911 to report fallen trees..."no i don't know what county I'm in. no, i don't know if I'm in tennessee or ga. Yes, i'm sure that's the road. Well are you sure? I mean that's what the sign said...". Yeah.
The various drivers forcing the truck to have random convulsions at unexpected times.
Informing the girl in the fabric department that we were going to staple the curtains together.
The chipmunks version of dragostea din tei.
Heck Yes.
Hey! So, first post from college! I'm having a lot of fun, but this is definately not the way it's going to be all the time. It's like summer camp, times 10. lol. Plus some like random lectures and a bunch of tests about "general Biblical knowledge," you know, about all those important facts like Ahab and Jazabelle and all that good stuff. Ahab was Jazabelle's husband right? lol. The weather is ever so unpredictable. That's always fun. And the chapel is arctic, at all times. But I like our room, and Esperanza is working now, except she's not supporting firefox which is making me upset, but w/e. I'll get that worked eventually. We have like the "O-Teams", and we do everything together, which is actually pretty fun because I'm getting to know all these random ppl who I never would have otherwise. There's this one girl, and she's 4'10". It's awesome. lol. So yeah, i'm happy, but Hope...you need to get your butt up here. But as I said before, You'll come, and then I'll never be lonely again, so I'll just enjoy it while it lasts. ;) I miss you all! Much love.
There is far too much to be done before I go to school, and I feel completely overwhelmed by it all, but the scary thing is that before I know it, I'll be lying all alone in some room at school in a bunk bed. And I won't even be able to stare at the ceiling kuz I'm on the bottom, but at least I won't be able to fall off and permenantly damage myself in the middle of the night. Well, I suppose that's still not out of the realm of possibility, even from the bottom bunk, but I'd say the risk is significantly decreased. I'm going to miss all my friends so much. It's dreadfully sad. I've been spending so much time with them that I can't imagine living a whole day without them. I'm very codependant based on my last statement. lol. But still, it's sad. Life is so small when it comes down to it, but it seems so big all the time. But then there are the moments when it seems suffocatingly small and eternity is staring you in the face...I don't know. There are far too many thoughts in my head at 12:40 am. I need a diary. I keep typing things and then deleting them because I don't want the whole world to read them. That's the trouble with writing. Once I start, I feel like I might as well spill and get all out there on the page. So much for that idea. If I had a post for ever major mood I went through during the day, it would be quite remarkable. Ok. I'm going to sleep now. Life is too short to live half-heartedly.
"All truth is God's truth, no matter where it is found, and we can thank him for it all." Do we like this line?
I definately don't like that the author uses the universal "she" instead of the universal "he." That's just ridiculous. I mean, if you're going to be all pc about it, do both genders (he/she), or avoid using third person singular when a gender is required, but taking it all the way to "she?" Pssshh. "In a word, if she is to act creatively and to speak with cogency and clarity to the minds of her fellows..." and again, "Every parent feels protective toward her youngsters..." I think it may actually be switching back and forth between genders in certain parts, which is even more stupid and confusing. So my first impression of Covenant literature is definately not positive, but hey, who judges a whole college by one book?
Hope, I found yet another strand of your hair. It's going to be like wound around me forever, interwoven in my clothes and in my backpack and everywhere by the time next semester is over. That's ok though. I love you.
Goodnight all. :)
