Today I kept getting calls from the school all through the day while I was in class and things. I had to keep calling them back during my breaks to get things worked out. But finally just before I was finally going to head to work they said they had it taken care of now. So I only have a couple more things left to do with it now and I should be good to go I hope. But anyway all my classes were pretty normal today, nothing out of the ordinary there. In covocation today though I taped about 10 signs to my back about our sister dorm. They all said "whoever finds a 28-1 finds a good thing" Then all the guys from our dorms had them too and we held them up at random times. That was pretty fun. Other then that I went to classes and lunch just like any other day. Then headed off to work. After work I drove strait over to church and we had "table talk" there tonight. Thats where they have a free meal and we all just fellowship for awhile. Then its kind of a question answer time for the pastor & staff about things about the chruch. It went pretty well I think. I dozed off through part of it though. After church was over I brought Tori back with me and then dropped her off at her dorm and I had to go right to my Prayer Leader meeting from there. After the meeting I went back to my dorm and worked on making a poem for my sister dorm to do a mass e-mail to all of them. If you want to see it click here. After I got that e-mailed I worked on my next speech that I will have to do soon. Then just after cufew, our sister dorm came down as a group and gave all us guys a gold fish (not sure what the purpose of the fish was) and carnations.. then they sang us a song "my girl" except they switched it up as "My Guy" That was a lot of fun, I was sad when they had to leave. After they left I just did some more homework and chatted online for awhile. But now I need to get to bed, I'm going to try and stay awake in Theolgy class tomorrow. I wonder if I'll be able to pull it off. Ok well night for now!

Today was a pretty long day. I had an exam in my first two classes. I think I pulled at least a B in both of them, but I had to rack my brain pretty hard to pull it off. After I had those exams finished I went to lunch and then headed right off to work. Work went pretty smoothly today I think. I was able to take the server back over to the Highschool today too. I hope they are all set up and ready to go now. Then after I finished up getting that setup over there I went strait from there back to school because I had a group project to work on. So met I with my group for about 30 minutes or so and then I had to go back to work. I was at work tonight until around 9:30ish. Then right after work I had to come back to campus and go to my prayer leader meeting (RHLM). We were in that meeting until about 11:00. Then when we finally got out of the meeting I decided to walk over to the sister dorm and go to every window and wish them a good night. I tried to learn as many of thier names as possible too while I was doing that. It will probalby take a couple passes though before I figure them all out. But anyway after I got around the entire dorm (after going numb from the coldness) I came back here and just worked on my computer some and checked my e-mail and chatted for awhile. Today was pretty busy though with the exams and working late and things. So I'm ready to go to bed... so that is exactly what I'm going to go do now I think.Good night!

Today was a very very good day. I had a blast. I woke up and went to my Old Testemant class and found out that the girl that was going to withdrawl from the class changed her mind and wil be staying after all so we won't have to do the presentation by ourslef. That was very cool. Then I skipped my first class ever willingly today. My speech class. They were just doing speeches today today I didn't miss anything. But the reason I skipped was because I had to go pick up my balloon order of 70 helium balloons. Thats what I was working on last night was writing and personalizing 70 balloons. Then I took them to the place so they could start getting them filled up this morning. So I skipped my class in order to get them picked up and brough to Convocation today. I could only fit about 40 balloons in my van though so I had to make two trips to campus from the store. with the 70 balloons I only had 4 casuallties from the store to the campus. (4 popped). But anyway everythign went really well and I handed them all out to the girls today in chapel. I thought they would be distracting though with 70 floating balloons but I cleared it with the RA's and the RD so it was good to go. I will admit they were a little distracting.. expcecially when one got let go and another one popped. But over all it wasn't so bad. It was fun to have them all there floating in our section. So anyway after that ordeal was over I headed off to my marketing class where I had an exam. Since I had that exam I was able to finish early and get to lunch early. So while I was there I sat with the sister dorm. I wasn't able to take any trays up today though because they all beat me to it and took my tray. I said that if they were going to take my tray there would be a condition. I would let them take my tray if they would go on a date with me. She agreed and so, After work thats what I did. But I'll go into details on that in just a bit. At work today I had some luck with that server i was working on. I was able to get the data recoverd and everything is almost back to normal. The only difference was I wasn't able to fully recover the list of users that I needed so those will have to be re-entered I think. But thats not going to be very tough. So anyway right after work I headed to the store and picked up a flower for my date and then I came back and got all ready to go. Bekah Norton (my date) called me once she got off work and I met her so we could go to our destination. We were going to drive to Roanoke and have dinner at the Olive Garden. I had a great time and it gave us ample time to get to know each other better during the 2 hour drive (both diretions). We both ordered lasagna and breadsticks for dinner and just sat and talked for awhile after that. On the way home we stopped at 7-11 and picked up some slurpee's. She was a really great girl and fun to hang out with tonight. She is also a prayer leader for 28-1. I was glad I was able to take her out! So anyway once we returned to campus I dropped her off and walked her to her dorm and then I just came back to my dorm after that. I'm really sleepy now though, its been a long but eventful day. So I think I'm going to head off to bed now. Sleep well everyone! night!

Today I woke up to Tori calling me. I was supposed to pick her up at 7:45 to go to church for worship team practice. But she waited for 15 minutes with no show... so she called my room and I wasn't even awake yet! I forgot to set my alarm. So I just threw on clothes and I made it to church with Tori only about 15 minutes late. Other then the rocky start in the morning, the rest of the day went very well. The service was good too. I chilled after church for a little while and talked with some people then I headed to lunch right after that at the Dinning hall. I sat with my sister dorm again for lunch and I ended up being there for about an hour and a half I think. After lunch I worked on my next sister dorm "project" until 6:00. I would explain what it was but It will have to wait until tommorrow just incase some of them get the bright idea to read my blog tonight before my plan comes into effect. So I'll just leave it at that for now. Anyway once I finished the project I went to dinner and then I came back to my room and studied for a test I have on tuesday. (two of them) Then once I did that for a good couple hours I decided to send out a campus wide popup on everyone's computer excaiming how awsome dorm 28-1 is. I think that went well. I've heard from 5 dorms already that recieved it. That was a fun one to figure out =). After that I just chatted online for awhile and now as you can see I'm getting ready to head off to bed. Which I am doing right now......

Today kind of started out on the bad side.. I was having my "good luck" drained and nothing seemed to work how it should. To start off I had to work at the High School again all day today in that 5x5x10 box again, it was still 90 degrees in there today also. But anyway I tryed all my options on how to get it to work.. nothing worked right. I decided to try our backups and things. We had 4 redundant backups and none of them seemed to work either.. It was just one thing after the other. So anyway after I was there for about 5 hours I decided to just pack it up and bring the entire server back to the shop so I could use our full aresenal of tools there. I was finally able to get it somewhat working after that so that was a big sigh of releif. After I got done at work I came back to campus and went to Will's Dorm and helped him with his comptuer because it wasn't working right.. I was able to get it all settled. So I headed on over to dinner right after that. I sat with my sister dorm for the meal and I got to know two really great girls while I was there. They were Sherelyn and Kristin. We chatted there for awhile and then we fight over who get to take up the other person's tray. I let Sher take my tray up but I told her I was going to take her cup.. she almost didn't let me, but I told her that she could take the cup if she wants but if she does then she has to go on a date with me... She ended up letting me take the cup =). Now I probalby should fill you in with the entire picture so this all makes sense to everyone. --- Our dorm is the brother dorm to Dorm 28-1. We are having a Battle of the Sexes. Everytime someone does something nice for the other dorm they get points. (Racked up about 10 grand last night). But anyway certain things are worth more points then others. Taking up somebody else's tray or plate ect. at the Dinning hall will earn you 20 points. Taking somebody on a date will earn you 150 points. Singing at the window will earn you 100 point ect. --- So anyway she let me take the cup up so I would only earn 20 points instead of 150. But ok now that I'm done digging my rabbit trail, I'll continue with my story for the rest of the day. After dinner I went to a Bon fire with my sister dorm. It was at some people's house that lived off campus. We made smore's and had candy and soda. It was just a good time. We told stories about most embarassing moment. Most Painful stories.. then played some games. I had a good time. I ended up leaving around 10:30ish and brought back some guys (Kris, Chris, Chris <-- 3 of em funny I know, Johnny and Sean) also Three girls from the sister dorm (Sher, Kristin and Gen). I dropped off Chris.. (my roomate) Kris, and Sean. Then I took the rest of the Gang down to drowsey Poet. We all just sat and talked there for a couple hours. It was a fun time for me. Sarah and Brian showed up for awhile too and they joined us. We all ended up leaving there just after 11:50. On the way home I saw 3 girls walking back to campus and they still had a long way to go, so I stopped and picked them up and gave them a ride the rest of the way. I would say tonight was a pretty productive day. I actually was able to have fun for once. That doesn't happen very often with my busy schedule. But anyway I think I'm going to head to bed now! You have a great night everyone! Oh and by the way..... Dorm 28-1 is the Greatest Dorm on Campus! PS. Johnny Vazquez wanted me to put his full name on here so he could be in Google's search engine just like my name (I'm number one if you search for "Jeremy Dillinger") So Johnny.. I hope that in a couple weeks you will be on the list somewhere. (You may have to search for "Jeremy Dillinger" & "Johnny Vazquez" for you to show up though) But anyway I hope this works!. =) You Da Bomb man!

Today was a decent class day, I didn't have any quizes or tests.. I was able to just go to class and sit there.. that was kind of nice. I went to ministry chapel today instead of convocation and that was pretty good. They had a speaker that used a basketball as his ministry tool and stuff. It was nice to see. Then at work today the Glass guy came by and repaired my back window on my van. It turned out being like $285 dollars. It was not fun having to dish out that much cash for a some stupid person that felt it would be nice to shoot my car. Anyway once that was fixed I had to go back to the school and work on thier server some more. I will need to go over there again tomorrow. I hope I can finally get it fixed then. Its becoming annoying somewhat. After work I went to dinner and then went to Wal-Mart. I picked up 60 roses for the girls in my sister dorm. I was planning on giving one to every girl in the dorm. Our dorm is having a contest with thier dorm to see who can do the most nicest things for each other. So far I've carried up their trays at the dinning hall.. passed out 54 Roses each personalized individually... Sang at 5 of thier windows (You are so beautiful to me) and put up signs on their dorm. The contest is going to go until Thursday. If I take one of them on a date thats worth lots of points too.. so I might have to do that too. I don't know yet though since I"m running a little low on spending money now since the window fix. But anyway its been a good day.. I think I racked up about 10 grand worth of points for our dorm tonight... Now I'm off to bed though.. have to wake up and go to the School again in the morning to fix the server. Night!

I think I got the main part of my Isaiah Project done too.. I just have to get it checked over by the rest of the group and we can decided our plan for presenting. Well I think that just about covers it today.. told you it was typical. Ok good night

We have a major group project due in my Old Testament class coming up this wednesday.. we were just about all ready to go and all organized and everything.. but then I find out today that one of our group members decided to withdrawl out of that class. So now we have to re-think our entire presentation. I've been working that that pretty much all tonight. Anyway... after my first Old Testemant class I had to go to speech and do my speech on Thomas Edison. I pretty much just read off the cards though.. but other then that I think I did pretty well. The rest of the day turned out pretty well.. nothing got stolen out of my car or anything with the big gaping hole in the back of it so that was nice to see... work was somewhat relaxing today, we had a chance to play a couple games even. After work I headed over to church and I was there until around 8:30.. and then directly following that was a prayer leader meeting I had to go to at 9:00. So I was in that until around 10:00. But then I still had to go over to Will's dorm and bring him a monitor and a network cable and set his computer up for him. So I was over doing that until around 10:45ish. Then finally after that I was able to come back to my room and start working on this Old Testament project trying to re-think the entire sitiuation. I was able to get the outline done I think though. So I'm going to stop for now and head to bed. Night everyone!

Today was just one of those days... I found out I got a 72 on my Government test so right now I have a low C in that class. Then after classes and Lunch I walk back to my car to go to work only to find out that the back window was completely shattered. A bullet had gone through the window and busted it. After I found it I called the LUPD (Liberty University Police Department). They had to come by and take pictures and just do a thourogh check over of it. I had to fill out a statement saying what I knew as well. I ended up being about 45 minutes late to work because of that. Plus I had to drive with no back window. Work today was pretty much just a standard work day though. I did call my insurance company though while I was there and found out that since I didn't have any comprehensive insurance they wouldn't be able to help me out any with the window. So I was stuck paying for it on my own. I did some shopping around for window repair places and so far the cheapest I've found is about $275 bucks.. so that looks like lots of money that I needed elsewhere going into somebody's idiocy. Anyway once I returned to my dorm I looked around some more for other cheaper places and talked more to insurance companies ect. But it was all useless, I didn't get anywhere as far as cheaper and no insurance company could do anything. Sounds like a great day huh? All this and I still had a major Old Testament project to work on. I would have liked to take tonight to work on practicing my speech for tomorrow some since I had an extra coupe days to work on it. But because this happend I didn't get to do that so I'm just as unprepared for it as I was on monday. So anyway I'm going to just go to bed now.. pray that it doesn't rain tonight or that nobody tries to steal my car or something since it is outside with the window not there. Ok well I"m off to "Z" land.

Hey guys, sorry I didn't get a blog done last night. I was too busy with homework to do one. Thats all I really did yesterday anyway. Now today is another day of hard work. At work I had to go fix the computer server over at the Highschool that I had setup last year. It was down and so was everybody there until I could fix it. So I sat in the 5x5x10 foot server room for 5 hours today and worked on that to get it working. It was like 90 degrees in there the entire time too. That was pretty rough on me and it made me really tired. I'm still seeing little computer screen in my eyes. Once I finally got everything finished there though I came back to campus and ate dinner then went to my room to do homework. I had to take about an hour break and go fix a computer in Dorm 10. That was a pretty quick fix and then I was back here again working on my project. I have to do a 25 minute presentation on the Book of Isaiah for my old testament class. If you have any Ideas to help me out with please send them my way jerdill@hotmail.com. Tori also came by for a quick visit tonight and brought me some cinnimon rolls. that was nice of her. But anyway, I just though I would write this entry right now while I still was thinking about it so I don't get too tired and forget. So I'll say bye for now. My website isn't working anyway right now as I write this so you will probalby not be reading this until more then a couple days afterwards. So anyway. Yeah.....

Today I woke up and ate breakfast with Jessica before I had to go to work. She thought she might be gone by the time I got off work so I wanted to hang out with her one more time. Then I went off to work. Nothing too much to report from that.. pretty routine work day. Then once I got back to campus Jessica called and told me she was still there so I was able to help her pack up the car and say good bye before she left. Once she left I went back and cooped myself up in my room and began my homework again. I think I've done homework a total of about 48 hours this week. Not to mention my working for 36 hours and classes and all that stuff. I haven't had anytime to do anything this week. So anyway, I did take a break for dinner around 6:00 for like a half hour. I saw Aaron Mills there. I hadn't seen him for almost a month now I think. It was nice to catch up on what he's been up to a little. So anyway once I ate my quick dinner I was right back in my room again and did homework. I've been doing it ever since then. I think it's time to go to sleep though. I have early worship team practice again tomorrow at chruch. Night!

Today I woke up kind of late again and I wasn't able to get my shower. I made it to class like one minute late, but it hadn't started yet so it was all good still. My first two classes were just the standard regular class nothing very good to report from those. Then at convocation today I was over talking to a friend of mine and a CFAW (College for a weekend) girl was there listening in. Then she came to sit with me during the convocation service. I kind of stole her from Jessica (She was who she was with). And Ironiclly this CFAWer's name was Jessica as well. So anyway she came and sat with me during the service and then I brought her to my Marketing class with me as well. She turned out to be a good participater and spoke in class a couple times. After that class though I decided I better skip lunch and go take a shower (I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to take one. The last time I had a shower was on tuesday, so I desperatley needed one) I wanted to be able to take Jessica through lunch and everything but I wouldn't have had time to do that and take a shower before work. Jessica said I didn't stink or anything, but I just felt sticky so I just had to go back. 4 days without a shower just doesn't work for me. So I showed her where she could go and then I headed back to my room. Then after my shower I grabbed a take-out lunch and went right over to work. Work was pretty good today, we watched some smallville episodes while we worked. They were all ones I had seen already but still it was cool. I should be able to see some of the newer ones once andy brings those in. Anyway after work I headed back to campus and ate dinner at the dining hall and then went back to my room and did homework most of the rest of the night. I did have a couple breaks though. Casey and Rebecca came by my window for awhile. Then I went and took some munchies to Jessica at her window because she didn't have anything. Then Sarah came by my window a little later and I talked to her some too. But over all I just had another night of grueling homework. I'm really hating this speech if you haven't noticed. There was a Toby Mac concert here on campus tonight too but I had to skip that for the speech. Ok well anyway, its getting late now and I'm going to get to sleep. I think I'll be getting up early and taking Jessica to breakfast. So anyway. Bye for now!

I got pretty lucky this morning. Last night I had parked my car at the dinning hall and was going to move it after my prayerleader meeting. Except at the end of the meeting he gave us something to do and I didn't end up walking back to the dining hall. So I completely forgot about my car being there and I had left it in a spot that it wasn't supposed to be over night. Then this morning one of my classes got out early and for some reason I started thinking "where did I park my car" then I realized what I had done. I ran over to it quickly and to my releif I hadn't gotten a ticket for it. I was glad that class had gotten out 20 minutes early so I was able to use that time to move my car where it could be parked and still get to my next class with time to spare. I thank God that he sparked the "where is my car" question in my mind or I may have had a ticket by the time I needed to go to work. But anyway despite that slight mishap in my day the rest of it was pretty routine. I finished up classes then headed over to work. After work I came right back to campus and went to dinner then, off to my dorm to work on this grueling speech of mine. Then I had a group project meeting at 9:00 tonight so I was doing that until just before 10:00ish. By then it was time for hall meeting so I sat through that then I led my prayergroup. Tonight I did a personality test and talked about how that is part of our SHAPE for ministry. The college for a weekender we are hosting in our room this weekend sat in my group tonight. Once I finished up with the group I started up on my homework some more and I've been doing that ever since. Once again aproaching 3:00 I've had to do that all this week so far. 4 hours of sleep nightly. I've only gotten 16 hours of sleep in 96 hours of time. Its been crazy I'm almost halucinating or something. Ok well I'm going to go get my 4 hours again now so I'm off to bed.. Night!

I only ended up getting 3 1/2 hours of sleep last night. I am so glad today is over though. I had a quiz in two of my classes and an exam in one. That is the reason I had to be up so late last night. I have to write that speech for Comms class which is the thing I'm have the most trouble with. Then I also had to study for the exam in that class that I had today. I also had a quiz in Marketing and a Quiz in Old Testament. I think I failed the one in Old Testament though. By the time I got around to studying for that class my brain was so fried I couldn't have comprehened the word "The". I also had to put together my prayer groups lesson for tomorrow last night as well. That took longer then normal too because I had to design one of those personality tests for them to take. So I was working on that most of the night last night also. So anyway I ended up going to sleep around 3:30 and waking up this morning at about 7:00. I headed over to Old Testament so I could fail that quiz this morning. Then I went to my Exam in Speech class. I think I did fairly well on that one. Then today was the first offical sermon for the 40 days of purpose that Libety will be doing for the next couple weeks in convocations. That went pretty well this morning. After that I headed to Marketing to take the quiz in that class. I know I got a 90 on that one though because we went over it in class, so that was a nice thing. After classes finally finished I ate a quick lunch and then headed off to work. It's been nice being caught up at work lately so I've been able to setup some programs that will make our Job's easier in the futre once I get them all setup. I'll tell more about those later. But anyway right after work I headed over to the Donnenburg's house for our small groups get together tonight. That was a fun night tonight and we played the Hot Seat game where they pick one person in the group and everybody has to write one thing nice about them. They did my name tonight and the two questions were: "This is what I appreciate about Jeremy" and "This is what I 've learned to value in you" I got a whole bunch of nice things written about me. That was kind of fun. I ended up staying there until around 8:40 before I left because I had to get to my prayerleader meeting tonight at 9:00 with the campus pastor. That meeting went until just before 10:00. Then ever since that meeting got over I've been working on my speech ever since... Still working on too. Very much not liking that class. Well anyway, I'm going to stop writing for now so I can do some reading for Theology (about 50 pages). I may be able to get to bed before 3:00 tonight if I read fast. Ok well Good night!

Dude!! Look at the time. I've been up all night so far working on my stupid speech on Thomas Edison. I haven't gotten anywhere. I have all the information I could ever need I just know know what to do with it. I've worked on it for probalby 8 hours now and I haven't made any progress. I did however get my prayer group lesson done and that is ready to go for tomorrow. So that was a plus. Today was a standard class day except we had an exam in Government (we finally had it). Then I also was at work late until 9:00 tonight. Other then that I'm going to bed because I am already only going to get 4 hours of sleep tonight as it is.

I woke up a little later then normal today and I had to rush to get ready for class. I was able to make it on time about 2 minutes before class started. So it was all good. Classes were all pretty normal today, I had to do a one minute speech in speech class, that wasn't so bad. The rest of the day I just went to work and then came back to my room and did some homework. I have to write my big 7 minute speech which is due on monday. So anyway, today was pretty much uneventful. But still overall a pretty decent day. But thats it for now.. a short blog for once I know you got tired of my long ones lol =0). Well anyway.. good night!

WEll, Today I had to wake up even earlier then normal because I had a longer drive to church then normal since I was over in bedford. But I made it on time and was able to get everything taken care of that need to get done. We had a guy sing "I can only Imagine" today at church so setup the powerpoint to display a picture of Melissa from the Utah trip two years ago. And I had it showing through out the entire song... if you want to see the picture that it was click here Melissa Thinking. So anyway, the service went really well today. We had communion today also. After the service was over I went out to mexican food with Brittney and Allie they invited me along with the group they were going with. It was the group that was working with the childrens ministry. Ryan, Katlin, and Kat were there as well. That was a good fun time there. After lunch I just came back to my room and worked on my homework. I had to come up with a short speech for my class tomorrow. I think I got that all figured out now. Then at around 6:00 I went to dinner with Tori, Becky, and Jared. Then we all headed right over to campus chruch afterwards. We met up with Sara and Brian and they came to join us. Toni and Erin came along later. Church was really good tonight, Brian went forward and Re-dedicated his life toinght too which was awsome! After the service we all went to IHOP for a late meal. I didn't order anything though I just had water and hung out while everyone else ate. We were there for about and hour and a half or so. On the way back from IHOP I swung by sara's house and picked up my finished curtains. They turned out really cool.. you can see them on the webcam if you want to check it out - See It Here! But anyway I'm going to go to bed now I think. I'm getting pretty sleepy. Night!

Hey All... I didn't get a chance to write a blog for last night. I was over in bedford Teen-sitting. I went to work as usual but then afterwards I drove to bedford to hang out with Joe and Deborah's kids while they were both out of town. We ended up just watching tv and wresting and playing video games and stuff. Then later we drove back to lynchburg and we to see "Tomb Raider" We were planning on seeing SWAT but it was sold out, but Tomb Raider turned out to be a decent movie though. I'm glad we saw that one. I can just go see SWAT another day or something. After the movie was over I brought the boys back to my room here for a bit while I packed and got ready (I was going to stay the night at thier house). On the way back home we stopped at Wal-mart to pick up some food so I could cook them a late dinner when we got back. We just kind of hung out then until around 1:30 and then I went to bed. Will stayed up a little later and played computer games for awhile. Sonny had already gone to bed before I did. But anyway thats pretty much what my saturday consisted of. I'll fill in what happend today before I go to bed tonight.. so anyway I'm going to do some homework now. Bye =)

I thought I would go ahead and write this entry tonight while I still have energy. I'll probaly be up another hour or so once I finish this. So anyway... I'll start from the begining. I started off with Old Testament today (which I fell asleep in) followed by Speech class (which I fell asleep in, and the teacher caught me and woke me up because we were supposed to be writing at the time). After that normally there is Convocation... but today they canceled it.. I don't know why but since I had an extra hour and a half one of my groups got together so we could work on a group project some. Then I went back to my room and studied a little, I kind of napped a little while I was there too. Once it got close to time to go to my next class I started walking back over to the academic buildings. I was able to stay awake all through my marketing class today. That was good. Once that was over I hurried to lunch so I could get to work ASAP today to finish up with the servers. I ended up sitting with Jessica for lunch. But I was only eating for about 10 minutes today so that wasn't very cool. I also went over and said Hi to Tori for a bit before I went to work. She gave me her Filled out Girlfriend application to me today at lunch, I haven't had a time to look over it yet, but she actually wrote the essay (She is the first to do that) I'm looking forward to reading this one. =). Today at work I was able to get the servers all back to normal once again and we are running back to standard operation again. I ended up staying a little late and closing up the shop tonight while the other guys left right on time to go see a movie. I then had to hurry back to campus so I could make it to dinner in time. I sat with Sara, Tori, and mathew at dinner and they asked me if I wanted to go see a movie too. I had alreay made plans with Brittany and Allie tonight though to go to a football game though. (I would have rather done that anyway since I haven't seen them for a long time). Julie also came along to the game. It started raining though and they didn't want to stay anymore so we all went to the mall instead for about an hour. As we were leaving we found out that Julie's car had the dome light stuck on the whole time so her battery ended up dieing. We were able to find somebody that could help us though and we even invited them to church by the time everything got working again. I wonder if they will ever come. So anyway...Then I decided I would treat them all to a movie tonight. I've wanted to take Britt and Allie to see Finding Nemo for a long time now, so I was able to finally do that tonight. It was a lot of fun. (That was my 5th time seeing it now) It was 11:15 by the time it was over though. I just went back to my dorm once it was over while Juile took the girls home. As soon as I got back to my dorm Tori called and she wanted me to go over to Sara's apartment for the rest of the night until curfew. I didn't really feel like going there for only 30 minutes but I wanted to be able to finish my curtains too so I left and went there for a little while. We left kind of late though and I ended up being 3 minutes late past curfew.. I don't think anybody saw me though, It probalby wouldn't be a big deal if so anyway since I was so close to the right time. But anyway, I have a laptop to fix and some homework to do so I better get started. I hope I can get enough sleep tonight. Tomorrow I will be hanging out with Will (Joe and Deborah's son) all day and then stay the night over there because his parents are going to be gone. So I hope I can get everythign done tonight. Bye for now.

I was really tired once again today and I fell asleep in my Theology class. Kat kept trying to keep my awake but I think she gave up after she realized how hopeless it was. I could only stay awake for like 5 minutes each time and then I would be asleep like right after that. Its really bad I know. Then I had Evangelism class after that all we had to do was take a quiz and turn in a paper and then we got out early from that class.. it was only about 25 minutes long. So that was a nice small break I was able to come back to the dorm and work on some homework and things. I was also supposed to have a test today in Government so I did another once over everything to study for that during the extra time. Then I went ahead and went to the Government class a little early. Erin was there already looking over her notes and things. Sara and Christi showed up shortly after I did. So we all kind of studied together. Now normally this class only has about 150 people in it. He never takes attendace or anything. But today they packed out the room and just about 300 people showed up for class today. But anyway, he only made about 200 copies of the test since only about 150 ever come to class.. he never expected that all 300 people would still be enrolled in the class since they never showed up to class anymore. So anyway since he didn't have enough tests to go around he had to postpone the exam until next tuesday. I would have rather gotten it over with though. He ended up teaching the class as a normal day today. I was really relying on the test today though so I could get out a little early and eat lunch early so I could be back in my room for an appointment with the network people. But since he taught a normal class I ended up getting out of class at a normal time.. so instead of going to lunch I had to just go right back to my dorm and wait for the network people to show up at 1:00. I had already called into work and said I would be a little late but I didn't think I would be really late. They just had to come by and verify that all of my comptuers were virus free before they could hook up our internet ports again. I already had a full time virus scanner installed with the most recent definition updates installed on every machine. But they didn't take that as a workable "clean bill of health" they still were required to run all thier virus checking tools. That was really annoying because my Harddrive are huge and takes almost an hour and a half to scan the full HD. So I ended up having to call into work and say I would be almost an hour and a half late today. Even more annoying is the fact that they found absolutley nothing virus wise on any of my computers and the scan was a complete waste of time. It wouldn't have been so bad normally but the server broke down at work today and they were dead in the water until I could get to work and fix it. So while I just sat here and watched my computer scan; Scott and Andy at work were basicly just staring at the wall waiting for me to get there so I could fix the Server. So finally around 2:20 the scan finished and the network guys left (they shoudl have my ports turned back on tomorrow). And I booked it to work right after that. I ended up getting there around 2:30 today. I was able to get the server almost completely finished but its still not usable just yet to put up live. I still have about an hour to an hour and a half left of work left on it before we can get it all hooked up and be back to normal again. I had to get going pretty much right after work though so I could get to dinner on time before it closed. And I was really hungry since I skipped lunch so I couldn't miss dinner tonight. I ended up eating dinner with Johnathan, Tori, Sara, Becky, Erin Jared and Christy. Then after that I just came back to my room at work on homework and my prayer leader lesson. Then at 10:00 was hall meeting as usual and then I led my prayer group. We talked about the Abilites God gave us and how they are part of our shape for ministry. The SLD on the hall sat in my group tonight so that made me kind of nervous.. but it all turned out really well. I think everybody learned something. Anyway once I got done with groups I worked on homework some more and then chatted with a couple people online. I really need to get to bed now though. I'm running later then I wanted.. I was hopeing for 1:00 tonight.. but its past that now. So I'm going to be off to bed now. Night!

It was an interesting morning this morning. I woke up at 4:25 this morning for no apparent reason and I thought it was time to go to convocation so I got all ready and got dressed and everything and I was about to walk out the door and then my roomate is like "what are you doing" and I said "I'm going to convocation shouldn't you be too" and then he was like... "its only 4:00 in the morning" then I finally realize that it was really only 4:00 and so I just go back to bed. That was crazy though.. Some roomates are sleep talkers... some are sleep walkers.. some make strange noises.. I just wake up and get ready for class extra early. Yeah, I know I'm weird, that goes without saying. So anyway.. once 7:25 actually rolls aroudn and its time to wake up for convocation I go ahead and go there. The schedule today was an 8:00 Convocation and then just workshops the rest of the day.. I went to the small groups workshop. I was really tired though, I didn't sleep well or something. I just coulnd't stay awake. I was out cold in most of the meetings. I had to head to work again this morning at 12:30. So I just ate a quick lunch at the Rot with Tori and Tara (her roomate). Then headed right over to work. We finally got caught up at work we only had one computer left to work on by the time the day was over. It sure feels nice to not have all of those comptuers to work on. Now we can continue working the building and organizing things again. Right after work I went straight to church. I was able to see Allie for the first time in almost 5 weeks tonight. That was exciting. I chatted with her after the service for almost an hour. I didn't get back to campus until around 9:00. Then once I got back to campus I stopped by Erin's Dorm and chatted with her for a little bit. I had to bring back one of those travel cups that she had left in my car so I brought that to her and then we talked for about 15 minutes before I had to go to the RHLM meeting for prayerleaders. WE had a mixed meeting tonight with our sisterdorm and all the leadership from both dorms were together. That was kind of fun, there were lots of good snacks too!! Anyway, I was able to make it back to my room again around 11:00 and I worked on my prayer group lesson and did some reading for homework. I also have a test tomorrow in government so I studied for that a little too. But now I think I am done for the night and can finally head to bed. I'm pretty sleepy. ZZZZZzzzzzzzZZzzz

I'm really pushing a late night tonight. I didn't get back until like 20 seconds after curfew tonight from Sarahs house, and I still had a lot to do so I'm up later then I would like. But I'll just go ahead and start from the begining. We had the last day of required conference meetings to go today. Our dorm was in the Vines center today though and we all had to sit as a group. I ended up sitting right under a huge vent that blew really cold air the entire time. I couldn't really even concentrate because of that. Normally coldness doesn't bother me.. but when it is blowing and fluctuating cold air that is when I get cold. So I was kind glad to leave early and go to work today because of that. Work was just another standard day and there is not much new to report on with that. After work I went right back to campus and ate a quick dinner. I met up with Becky and Jared and Mike and Erin there tonight so I ate with them for awhile until I had to leave for my group project meeting. So I ended up going right from dinner to the Computer Lab to meet with my buisness group. We were able to get everything pretty much acomplished that we needed to and we finsihed up around 7:45. On the walk back to my dorm from the Computer Lab I met up with Pastor Chuck and I talked with him for a little while. (He is Allie's Step Father) So speaking of him It reminded me that Allie had called me today while I was at work to see if I wanted to go see a movie with her and her sister. I sadly had to turn it down though because of the meeting for my buisness project. Oh well.. I hope I will be able to see her tomorrow at church... so anyway thats enough of a rabbit trail for the moment. After I finished talking to Pastor Chuck, I took a shortcut through the Vines center to my dorm. There was a station in there that was selling ties for $5 bucks a piece... I totally couldn't pass up that opportunity. So I bought three. A yellow bob smiley face tie.. a money tie... and an American Flag tie. They are pretty cool. Anyway after returning to my dorm and getting a couple things settled I called up Sarah and asked her If I could come over and work on my curtains some tonight and use her sewing machine. She said that was alright with her, but she had to write a book review and read a book for homework. It turns out that Mathew had to do the same thing so I brought him a long with me and while they both did the reading I sewed my curtains. They will be really cool I think. I picked out the cloth from walmart on Sunday. It is Finding Nemo Material. Its Great! I wasn't quite able to get it all finished though by the time curfew came around. Sarah has a friend named Brian that was there tonight (who is a great guy I might add) that We all talked to tonight That was fun, and helpful... but it did slow down my curtain making process quite a bit. So Sarah might just have to finish them up for me. Anyway. Matt and I were finally able to get out of there sometime a little after 11:30. I dropped matt off at his dorm, but I didn't have a close parking spot and I had to go and park all the way in the pit tonight and I only had 6 minutes to get back to my dorm. I was able to barely make it.. (20 seconds over according to my watch). Then I just had to work on homework and other things once I finally got back. I've been doing that ever since. But now it is apporaching 2:00 and I have to wake up at 6:30.. so it looks like another short night of sleep to wake up to a full day where I won't get a nap. So I'm just going to stop talking now and get to sleep so I can make the best of it...

Well today was the first formal day of Super Conference. It was all of today from 8:00 until 5:00. I enjoyed the first half of it, however I had to be at work by 1:00 so I missed the last half of it. I was able to sit with Erin, Becky, Christy, and Jared for the time I was there though. It was my first time in the new Erikson building that Liberty just acquired last year. They had half of the people in that building while the other half was in the Vines center. Tomorrow my dorm goes to the Vines center all day. Anyway.. after I left at 1:00 for work I was at work tonight until 9:00 then I came back to campus and said Hi to Sarah and Tori and Mathew. I also had to fix the computer in the C-store tonight. They gave me a free drink for it. I would have liked to hang out with Tori and Sarah a little longer (Mathew was working) but I had to get some reading done tonight. SO I couldn't do that for long. After I was at my dorm for about an hour or so reading.. I saw Jen come by and she had a big load of laundry. I decided I would go out and help her carry her laundry and stuff. It wasn't quite dry when we went to do that though, so we had to wait about 10 minutes for it to finish up. Then I helped her get it all in her hamper and carried it back to her dorm for her. Then I came back to my room again and tried to do the rest of my reading.. I didn't get finished though because I had people that were chatting with me on the internet. So I just got about half way through and bookmarked it. But now I"m tired so I'm going to go to sleep now. I am going to wake up and go to breakfast tomorrow at 7:30 since I dind't get a chance to eat lunch today, and I missed dinner since I was working until 9:00. So I"m kind of hungry.. well Good night!

Today was another day I had to wake up early and head over to church for practice. The service went very well and I didn't cause any noticeable messups today. Thats always a good thing. =). We took a personality test today and he talked about how it affects the way we are shaped for ministry. That was pretty cool. After the service was over I had lunch with Tori and Sarah. We ate picnic style today though. Tori brought back Sarah and I some dinner for last night, and we decided to have it for lunch today. It was pretty fun, except a bee came... and then it decided to go get a bunch of friends and bring them back too. They became a nusance. We were just about finished though when they came so it wasn't so bad. Once we finished eating we went to Wal-Mart. Our blinds in my dorm have been broken for awhile now so I went and decided to just get some cloth and make a curtan myself. You will probably be seeing those on the webam in the next day or so. Once we got all the materials we needed I came back to my room and just worked on some homework until the Superconference (Purpose Driven Life Seminar) opening seramonly tonight. I went to that with Becky, Erin, Tori, Tony and Christi. It was great! This week should be pretty good with all that is going on with that. It was basicly just a summary of what we will be talking about mixed with worship and praise. After that was finished up We all went to Ruby Tuesdays for a late supper. I ordered the Cheese fries and they were very good. I liked them better then when I had them at the Texas Roadhouse a couple days ago. After we finished up there, I went ahead and drove everybody back to their cooresponding dorms and then parked my car and came back to my room. I've just been working on homework since then. I think I"m goign to head off to bed now though. Still have to wake up early for the conference. So goodnight!

Today I went to work from 9:30 until 3:30. We played a game at work today for like the first time in two months. I also had to do a service call to setup a computer today, that went pretty well though and no problems with that. After work I stopped by Scott's house and saw his new fish that he got. He got a huge Lion fish. Its very exotic and cool looking. He can also eat an entire shrimp in less then a second. he is like the predator; he eyes it and then pounces in a blink of an eye. Its pretty funny to watch. But I only was able to stay for about 15-20 minutes so after that I came back to my room and tried to get some homework done so I could possibly go to Ronoke with Sarah to meet up with Tori. But as 5:30 rolled around I decided that I shouldn't because it woudl be two hours of driving (including both ways) and we would only be there for like one hour or so. So I decided that we wouldn't be able to make it tonight. I might have been able to go but I just had too much to do to take more then 5 hours out of my day. I did kind of want to go to the football game today anyway though. So since we didn't go to ronoke I did a little more homework then took a break for dinner and stopped by the football game. I went by myself but I mingled with a bunch of people at different sections of the stadium. I only stayed until halftime though because I had to go back and finish up homeowork reading and things. When I left we were losing 3 to 27. On the way back to my dorm I stopped by Brooke's window and I talked to her for a good half hour or so. Once I got back to my dorm and started on my homework, a couple hours later once people started coming back from the game I found out that Our team ended up winning. The score was still 3 to 27 at 8 minutes left in the game... then during that 8 minutes we scored a bunch of times and we ended up winning 32 to 27. That was pretty crazy. I'm in a way kind of sad I missed that. Oh well, I've just been in my room doing homework ever since then. Allie is back from Brazil now and she was online for a little bit toinght. So I was really happy I could talk to her some. I didn't get to hear much of her trip though, I wanted to save that for when I can see her in person... which I hope is very soon. Tori also came back tonight around 11:30 and since we weren't able to go to her house she still brought dinner back for Sarah and I. I wasn't hungry at all tonight though so I put it in the fridge and I might eat it for lunch tomorrow or something like that. But that was pretty nice of her and I'm looking forward to trying some of her home cookin. But anyway that was my day.. I'm going to go to bed now. I have to wake up at 6:30 tomorrow to make it to worship team practice again in the morning. So Good night!

Well! Its friday today... and that means absolutley nothing for me =). I still will have to go to work in the morning. But I still had a pretty good day though. Old Testament and Speech class were the usual today with nothing to new to report on those. Then instead of Convocation today I met up with Deanna and Becky and we all went to Ministry Chapel instead. Right after ministry chapel I hurried over to my Marketing class becuse we had a group presentation to do. We had to come up with a new product. Our group decided to make popicles with real fruit juice. So we actually made some prototypes and got those ready to go so we could pass them out before we presented. That was pretty fun and it went very well.. After that class I just headed off to lunch and then work as usual. I ate lunch with Tori and Sarah today that was pretty fun. Work was the usual day.. I fell asleep while standing up a couple times at work though. That was interesting as I wake up almost falling over. So anyway after Work tonight I was supposed to go out to dinner with Jessica, but I found out later that her dad just found out he will be going over seas next week and she left this afternoon (while I was at work) to go spend time with him before he left. So pray for her and her family during the departure. So anyway the dinner together didn't work out as we planned so instead I went to the marriot. I did my usual rounds and talked to a whole bunch of people then ended up sitting and eating ceral with Becky and Tori and Anna. Then we just kind of hung out there for a long time. Then at around 8:30 I ended up taking 5 girls out to eat at The Texas Road house. Two of them I knew already (Becky and Anne) but then I got to know the other three (Michele, Jakie, and Daina). I just orderd some Cheese fries for myself. But I ended up eating some of Becky's chicken and Salad and then some of Anne's Ice cream since they couldn't finish it. We ended up leaving there sometime around 11:00 I would say. I was thinking about going to a concert tonight that was an approved Late night activity until 2:30 but I decided I better not since I hadn't been home all day and I had quite a few things I need to do on teh computer and homework ect. People are just starting to get back from it now. I've heard mixed opionons on it being good or bad or just decent. So I don't know who to beleive =). Anyway I think I'm going to start to head to bed since I have to still wake up for work tomorrow morning. Soo Good night world!

Another Routine day today! The usual sleep through classes and then go to work bit. One thing a little out of the ordinary happend in Government class though. Sarah actaully came to class, then she even participated too! It was groundbreaking almost. hehe j/k. Anyway after work I went to dinner and hung out with Becky and Tori, and Erin there for awhile. Brooke even came over to say hi for awhile, I miss having her come to my window... she kind of stopped doing that for some reason. Then Jen and Kerry and Crystal were there too so I had to stop over and chat with them at dinner tonight. I was there for abotu 45 minutes migrating from table to table before I decided to go get food and settle at the table becky was sitting at. So anyway.. I guess you could say dinner was the most exciting part of the day since thats what took up the most blogging space tonight. After dinner I came back and organized my prayer group lesson tonight. (on Spiritual Gifts) then did some homework and so forth (I'm still running off my 150 foot cable) They said they can't fix it until Tuesday. I'm really glad I have that cable. But anyway that was a rabbit trail. My Prayer Group went really well tonight I think and they all seemed to enjoy it as well as learn something. Then after the prayer groups our whole hall went and sang a song to our sister dorm while they sang a song back. That was about a 10 minute project then we just had to come back and be locked in our dorms after that. So That was my fabulus day.. I'm going to stop it now and head to bed though.

Hey, right now I"m running my entire rooms internet off of a 150 foot network cable that is plugged into a room down the hall. For some reason they decided to unplug our rooms ports from the main switch. They did that to 3 other rooms on our hall too. I don't know why or anything, but if its not fixed by tomorrow when I get back from work I'll have to make some phone calls. But I can't leave the cable strung across the hall all night though so as soon as I go to bed I will need to unhook it which means my webcams will be down all night until they get everything re-hooked up. But anyway, today nothing really special happend during the school day worth reporting on. Then nothing special really at work today either, we are just still in the process of organizing our new place of buisness. if you want to check out the pictures download This Slide Show you may need a decompression software to see it though WinRar is a good one to try. So anyway the day at work was pretty routine again. Then right after work I went over to church. But tonight we had small groups so I was at the Donnenburg's tonight. Becky, Anna, Christy, Kat, The other Becky, Donald and Tori were the other college people that were there.. then there were some of the other adult family's from church there as well. It was a lot of fun toinght there as well as good information that we learned. Right after it was over I had to come back to campus and be at a 9:00 prayer leader meeting. So I was there until 10:00 then went to late night since I didn't get to eat dinner. After returning to my room thats when I realized my network was all unhooked and stuff. So I busted out my cable to fix everything then I had to go say Hi to Sarah because she was on campus tonight for awhile hanging out with Tori and Johnathan. So I went up to the Lahay lounge where they were at. Then a funny story happend: Sarah and Tori had to go to the bathroom but I think the girls bathroom was locked or something. So Johnathan and I guarded the guys bathroom while they used that. Then we both hear a barage of laughter coming from there. They are in there for almost 7-10 minutes before they finally both come out about to fall over from laughing. Once they get thier breath they explain the story. Tori tried to use the Urinal for some reason then she finds out there is no toilet paper in the general vacinity of the Urinal.. then she finds out after she got some toilet paper that there is no way to flush the toilet paper either. So her first Guy's bathroom experience was rather taunting. But they sure both laughed pretty hard over it. Anyway once they finished with thier laughing fest we just chatted for about 10 minutes or so and then I had to come back to my room to get some things done. I've been here ever since working on homework and things. Casey stopped by my window though around 11:45 and stayed and chatted until she had to leave for curfew. That was nice to see her since I hadn't talked to her much today. But anyway, I think I have finished what I need to do for today homework wise. I really should get to bed though. Becky already scolded me for not getting enough sleep. I told her I would try and get to bed by 1:00. It didn't work out though because I had to write this entry. (I'm sorry Becky!!) I'm going to bed now though. So night everyone!

It sure would be nice NOT to be so tired. I was at classes all day as usual, followed by a long day at work. Then I had to go directly to a group project meeting tonight after dinner, and that went until 11:30 or so. I didn't get back to my room until about 5 minutes before curfew and I had to read 30 pages each from 2 different books still tonight and I had to study for 2 quizzes tomorrow. So I'm not going to spend long on writting my blog for tonight. Because I'm done now.
