Alright.. I'm running off of steam at the moment.. but it was all worth it. I ended up getting about 3 hours of sleep last night. But I'll start from where I didn't fill you in from yesterday. Friday was a pretty hectic day for me. I woke up (more awake then normal probably because of my day off). I was able to stay awake in both of my classes that morning too. I even surprised myself on that one. After those classes were over I got a call from Allie saying that Brittany, Her mom, and her were there on campus to see the speaker for convocation today. So I met up with them before it started and we all sat together for the service. After it was over they went back home while I went back to my normal friday routing. I went to do a little bit of studying (more preparing for V-day then homework though) and then eat lunch. I wasn't able to go in the dinning hall to eat though I had to grab take out and head off to work because I was running a little late. I was much better at work on friday since I was rested and less sick I was more aware of what was happening. I was kind of axious through the day though for 6:00 to come around so I could head over to the D-berg's house after work. Finally it hit 6 and I was out the door as soon as I helped close up. Now since my V-day project has already been put into effect I can come out and say what I was going to do. I was going to make sugar cookies in the shape of a heart for all the girls in our sister dorm. I was going to have two cookies one labed (28-1) and one labeled (5-1). Then put them both in a bag with two chocolate hearts and a little note saying "(5-1) Two hearts that beat as one(28-1)" Then say Happy Valentines day and from Jeremy... all that good stuff. So I had to make about 110 cookies for that. Friday night was a pretty rough night I still had about 80 cookies to make (we didn't get too many done Thursday) and then we had to frost them all and write on each one as well as bag them and put all the labels in and chocolate hearts and everything. I ended up making about 160 cookies in all though. I wanted left overs for other friends of mine as well. Plus we had a lot of dough left after the 110 so we just kept making them until we ran out of dough. So I was over at thier house until around 12:00 working on that. I'm very greatful for thier help because if they didn't help I never would have gotten done and would have had to stay up all night cooking and frosting. I was prepared for it though and so I did call my RA's and let them know I was out with a Married couple for the night so they didn't look for me during room checks. So once I finally got all the cookies prepared and bagged up and ready to hand out I left thier house around 12. Since I was already signed out I didn't need to go directly back to my dorm.. so I did some shopping for another unrelated Valentine Plan of mine. I was going to decorate the Doneberg's home today. So I went to Wal-Mart and picked up roses and a couple other goodies so I could get them ready for the morning. I ended up doing that until roughly 3:30 last night when I posted my blog and finally went to sleep. [ON TO SATURDAY] Now this morning I woke up around 7:00 to get some more stuff ready for my decoration operation. I saw Allie sign on the internet this morning around that time so I chatted with her for little but and wished her a Happy V-day. After she left I then went shopping for some more goods. I had to buy some balloons and various other decore. After I was loaded up and ready for the job I headed over to thier house. Allie and Brittany were going to go intertubing today with a group from church at 8:00 and so while they were gone thats when I was going to decorate thier home. Thier parent's Jo and Chuck were supposed to go somewhere this morning too but it turns out that they were in the house while I decorated. I guess that worked alright though. I probalby could have decorated when they left but they weren't sure when they were going to head out, and I still had to get to work by 10:00. So I just started with the decorating around 9:00. I was running a little late though so I called up work and let them know what I was doing and he said it was ok if I was a little late. So that was good. It ended up taking me until roughly 10:30 to finish up. I did all kind of fun things for the house. I had ballons all over the place. Flowers tied to each ballon to weight it down... Flower petals on the beds. Candy strung about through the house. Little notes written on paper and taped to the wall. Plus a couple other little things. So anyway once I finished up there I left it all for the girls to find once they returned from thier snow trip and headed on over to work. Things at work were rather slow today.. probalby because of the holiday so we were able to get more work done and play a couple games too. Once 3:00 rolled around I had to hurry over to campus to do phase two of my valentines. I had some extra cookies to hand out and things like that. Plus I had some roses and some balloons for Jessica so I went by her room and dropped them off there. (She wasn't there though so I left them with her roomate as a surprise for her.) I was going to go to the sister dorm and hand out all the cookies and goodies I had for them but then I found out that about 70% of them were gone today doing whatever they do. So I decided to hold off and that and do it late tonight around 11:30 when most would be back. So I worked on some homework until it was time for dinner. I had to get to dinner at around 5:30 today though because I was going to eat and head to the D-berg's again tonight around 6:20 and pick up the girls for a coffee house thing tonight at Thomas Road Church. So I did just that. Once I got there they talked about how much they loved the decorations and appreciated my effort. I was really happy to see that they enjoyed it. They also had V-day gifts for me. I got some cards and some candy. But my favorite thing they gave me was a poster collage of words/phrases from a magazine that pertain to me in one way or another. I'll have to figure out a way to get that as a picture on the internet so you all can see it... its really very cool. So after the gift exchange we headed on over to TRBC and went to the coffee house. I had a lot of fun. The coffee house itself wasn't anything extra exciting. There were just some guys coming up to sing and a couple funny things that happend. But mostly it was just the spending time with friends that I enjoyed the most. We left at around 9:45 so I could get the girls back by 10:00. But it was a pretty fun night doing that. Once I dropped off the girls I headed back to campus and worked on homework some more until around 11:30 when it was time to make the rounds at the sister dorm. There were still a couple windows that nobody was at but I think I was able to get about 80% of them. The ones that did answer really loved the cookies and stuff. All the leftovers I took to the the RA's window and gave them to them so they could hand the rest out to everybody that didn't one. Its always fun making other people feel good. I think I accomplished that goal multiple times today. It was great.. I love Valentines Day. So after I finished up my complete Valentines Operation I was able to relax and take a breather. It has been a long and stressful process (well worth it though). I was ready to sit and work on homework for awhile. I ended up being bombarded with IM's tonight though after responding to one IM and taking my away message off in order to do so. It took me about 30-40 minutes to recover and get back on task. Then at around 1:00 as I was starting to get ready to blog and head to bed off goes the fire alarm. I then find out that this is not a drill.. there is a real fire in one of the bathrooms upstairs. So I grab a coat and my cell phone and head out the door. I learned one valuable lesson today.. The lynchburg fire department takes roughly 30 minutes to respond to a fire. So all the guys were left outside in the cold tonight for about 45 minutes total while we waited for the Fire Department to arrive and judge the building safe for re-entry. They ended up bringing 4 Fire trucks and Ambulance and even the fire department jeep and sqad car. I don't know what that was all about.. it was just a fire in the bathroom.. I mean comon!! I don't really know any details about the fire just yet though but if I find anything more out about it I may write it down if it is interesting enough to post here. It was so very annoying because I only got 3 hours of sleep last night and now I'm going to have to go to sleep a lot later then I wanted to. I have to wake up tomorrow at 6:30 in order to get to church to setup for a special service we are doing. So I'm going to end up being very tired tomorrow I know. Sooo yeah.. Off to bed I go!

Well, today I got a much needed break. I went to all my standard classes this morning. Started off in English class followed by that really easy and rather useless computer class. (I did actually learn something today though). After that class I had a short break and I came back to my room to work on some of that homework I was supposed to do last night. But I didn't have too long to do it because I still had to eat lunch and go to my next class. I ended up having to eat lunch in like 20 minutes. It wasn't too bad though since all I had was a hamburger and lots of fruit. I was able to eat and get to my next class with enough time to take a quick look at the notes for the quiz. Once that class was over (I fought the sleep the whole way though). I headed right over to work. Once I got there I ended up only staying for about 30-45 minutes. My nose was pretty bad and I couldn't really talk. Andy let me take the day off. I was glad about that because I needed sleep and if I didn't have that time off work today I probalby would have had to stay up until around 3 or 4 tonight to get some things done. So after leaving work I came back to my dorm and took like an hour nap and then started on some of those things I really needed to do. Then once 5:30 rolled around I had to do some things that I can't say yet because it is for Operation Valentine Surprise. I'm going to be working on that project over at the Donenberg's house Tomorrow night too. I was working on that from about 6-9 tonight. I'll fill in more of the details of that once the plan has been followed through. Until then, unfortunatly you will have to sit in suspense. So anyway once I did what I could for the night over at the Donenberg's house I headed back to campus for Hall Meeting. We had a special speaker for our hall meeting tonight. It was a Missionary from ABWE. It was pretty fun to hear what he had to say. After he finished up though I came back to my room to lead my prayergroup. 3 Guys showed up tonight. We just kind of talked and had prayer though. I didn't feel up to doing my bible study with them tonight because I didn't want to talk very much. I wasn't really all that prepared anyway. Since we had that special speaker tonight I wouldn't have had time to do our regular study anyway. Well, I think thats it for tonight. I'm going to try to turn in before 12:10 tonight. Bye for now.

Today was another busy day. I was still sick today but its moved from dizzyness and nausia to a stuffy nose and coughing. I'm still a little dizzy but not even near as bad as I was yesterday. But despite my sickness I still had a very busy load today. I had to go to my first two classes this mornign and then Convocation. Then after convo I had to go to a prayerleader meeting. I was able to go with Jessica though so that made it all good. But I never got a chance to go to relax today because right after the prayerleader meeting was over I had to eat a quick lunch and then head off to work. I was still out of it pretty bad today at work. I was doing something and Scott came by and patted me on the shoulder and I almost fell over. I don't know how that happend but it was pretty bad. So anyway.. I survived work today though (barely) and then afterwards I had to go over to the chruch and work with the Kids Ministry team doing the Audio Visual tonight so I wasn't able to go to the small groups like I normally would. But I did get a lot of what I needed to do for that all setup and I did still have a little time to spare so I jetted over to small groups. There was still like 10 minutes left once I got there so I caught the last end of it. I then hung out for a while there after it was over though to eat some snacks since I didn't get to eat much today since I was so busy... I had a pretty small lunch and then no dinner. But at least I had some time to hang out and relax for a short while today. But anyway.. As a prayer leader they crammed another meeting on me tonight. Not only do I have them Wednesday afternoons, I also have one wednesday nights (at least thats what it is looking like so far). So that is going to be really annoying because I won't be able to hang out and relax after church anymore. Thats like the whole reason I took the time slot during lunch to go to Prayer Leader meetings today. But oh well, that is how life goes sometimes. The meetting tonight was at least somewhat good. It was a combined meeting with the Leadership team on our Sister dorm. We only do that once a semester but we got to know each other better and played a couple games and took care of some buisness. It didn't get out until about 10:30 though. I really needed to get some history reading done tonight too. I wasn't able to read through it word for word though because the meeting went so long. I had to skim it. I hope I still do good on the quiz tomorrow. I can't beleive that my buisiest week of the sememster is the week I get sick on. I still have so much I need to do tonight but I can't because I really need to get to sleep. This is so not cool! Ok well I need to stop writing this so I go to bed.

I'm really really tired and I wish I could just straight to bed, but I also need to write my blog while I still have everything fresh in my mind. I won't get a chance to write one until tomorrow night. So, I'm going to try and force it out. This morning was horrible as far as my dizzyness & Spinning & Lightheadedness goes. But I forced myself up and off to class. The first class was the worst. Because everything was spinning I got really dizzy and it seemed as if I moved it felt like I was going to throw up. So I had to stay as still as possible in that class. By the time that class was over I had to go to my other one. I had kind of gotten used to the dizzyness by then and the quezyness from that started to fade away. But I still did not feel good through my second class either. I was able to get a break once that class was over for a short time. SO I came back to my room and emptied out my backup of all the useless books and did a little studying. After that I headed on over to lunch. But before I got there I made a quick stop at the post office. My mom had sent me a package and it Finally came in. I decided I wasn't going to open it until I got to the Donnenberg's house later this evening. So then I brough the package to lunch with me. Today at lunch I found out that eating fish sticks and a huge bowl of tartar sauce isn't good on a sick tummy. I never spewed or anything... but I did feel like I was going to. After it settled a little bit I was off to my next class. It wasn't a standard class period this time though. Instead of the teacher teaching history he had a guest speaker. It was a missionary for missions emphasis week and he talked about his ministry. It was something I would have liked to hear. I did catch the first part of it, but unfortuantly I fell asleep through most of it. My friend Bekah that is in that class with me after it was over told me I need to go to sleep becaue I didn't look well, or feel well. But I wasn't able to do that because I still had to go to work the rest of the day. So off to work I went. I was pretty out of it today at work and I can't really say too much of what happend because I can't really remember. I do remember however that as soon as it hit 6:00 I was out the door and off to the Donnebergs house. Once I got there I found out they had decorated the entire house for me. They had the ribbon dangling.. balloons all over the place. It was really exciting. All the balloons had a special note on them too. So I went all around the house and read each one that was a lot of fun. Then they made me Fajita's for dinner tonight. (One of my favorite dishes). They were soo good. I had like 5 of them. Once we finished up with supper we played a new rendition of scrabble called "speed Scrabble" I'll have to explain how it works some other time though. Then once we got tired of Scrabble we had some Pumpkin Pie (better then cake) and then I opened up all my wonderful gifts that they got me and the package my mom sent me too. I got quite a few things, but the ones that stick out in my head right now are a stuffed dog that has a battery operated tailwag... some new socks.... and a wal-mart gift card. I also got a very cool Finding Nemo childrens book that I will read to kids when I have to baby sit.. It's really cool, it would even entertatin me. I got a couple other things too.. but at the moment I can't list them all.. I really need to get to bed. But once we finished up with the gifts we played another game of my choosing. They had a game called "Trouble". I used to love that game when I was like 10 or something like that... it turns out that it's not quite as fun when your 20. I won though.. so it wasn't a total bust =). Anyway, after that game was finally over we all just kind of chilled in the basement and watched some TV until I had to head back to campus. I got tired and kind of fell asleep a couple times while we were down there. Allie also decided she better take my tempurature since I wasn't feeling too good. But it turns out that according to the murcury I'm in good health. I don't beleive it though. But once 11:00 rolled around that was my time to head out. I had a prayer leader meeting I had to attend at 11:30. After all was said and done with me dropping off all my gifts and then going to find a place to park and then walking like a half mile back I got to the meeting around 11:40. They weren't too far into it though so I didn't really miss that much. As soon as that meeting was over though I just came back to my room and started getting ready for bed. I had to clean out a couple e-mails before bed but that didn't take too long. After I finished up with those I started writing this entry and I hope that now I can go to bed and sleep. I really need that sleep I think right now. So yup.. thats what I"m going to do.

Today was really good. I had a fun day today! I woke up and wasn't feeling very well though. I still am not feeling good. But the events of the day made me forget about my nausiated swimming head and churning stomach. So anyway, after waking up I still had to get ready for my first class today and head on over to the education building all groggy like. But I survived and made it to class without falling down any stairs. Once I got to the class and sat down I was ok though and just kind of zombied through that class. After that was over though I headed back to my room. I was going to skip my second class today so I could go pick up Allie and Britt from thier house and bring them back to campus for a special Chapel service today. The class I skipped was that other computer class of mine that I probalby don't really need so I don't think it would hurt me too much... It probalby hurt the rest of the class though because nobody was there to answer questions. =). But anyway I dropped off my book bag at my dorm and then headed on over to thier house and picked them up. I got out of the car and was about to knock on the door but they must have saw me because they were coming out already. (I had factored in wait time in the schedule but I dind't have to use it that was pretty cool those girls are great!). So we were able to get to campus about 30 minutes before the service even had to start. I also figured I would have to spend about 10-15 minutes parking. But instead I risked getting a ticket and parked in a spot I shouldn't have for the hour during chapel. Luckily there were no yellow pieces of paper on my car after it was over. But anyway. Since we had like 30 minutes to spare before the service started we walked to the Demos Hall and looked at all the Missions displays that they have up all week for Missions emphasis week. They were pretty cool. So anyway during chapel today Elizabeth Elliot came and spoke. It was really cool. She had some good stories to tell and experiences to share. It was a really good service. Once the service was over I grabbed the things I needed for work and then I took the girls back home. I stayed at thier house the rest of the time for lunch and hanging out time until I had to be at work at 1:00. Worked was a little hard on me today since I wasn't feeling too well. I have to stand up most of the time at work and I kept almost falling over. It was hard to make eye contact with customers and stuff too since I was feeling all funky. But I made it through the day. It did seem to go faster then normal today too so that made things nicer. My sister and Katie sent me a birthday present today too! I got it in the mail at work today. They sent me some really nice new clothes. THANKS GUYS!! My mom has a package on the way too but it hasn't gotten here yet unfortuantly. Maybe it will end up being perfect timing for my B-day tomorrow. So anyway.. right after work I hurried over to Ron and Betty Allen's house for dinner tonigh. Betty made this awsome dish. I can't remember what it was called though unfortunatly, but it had beef and rice and romain noodles, and cream of chicken, plus all kind of other goodies in it. I can't really descibe it besides it was good. Then she had salad and corn bread to top it off.. All very good food! I ended up staying there with them till around 10:30ish. I've mentioned this before in past blogs about them, but for those just joining.. they have this really cool Dalmation named Einstine. He provided lots of the entertainment for the evening. It was a lot of fun. They want me to come over again soon and bring friends w/me next time.. so if you are a friend and are reading this right now let me know and I'll see if I can make it happen. Two words (Great cook!). So anyway.. I ended up getting back to my dorm sometime around 11:00. I had to park all the way on the other side of campus (I had enough parking luck for the day) so thats why it took so long. (No, they don't live a half hour away.) So anyway appon arrival at my abode I took away my away message.. then BLAMMO like 15 IM's come shooting at me. It was pretty crazy for the first 10-15 minutes.. then it started to die down. I was able to work though the chaos for awhile though. I had some stuff to do before tomorrow too so I still had to get it all done. I needed to call my sister though and thank her and katie for the wonderful thoughtfulness. It was good to talk to them, I don't get to do that too often on the phone. But anyway after I got off the phone with them I worked on a couple more things while Jessica and I chatted for awhile. Jess and I got engrossed in a pretty good coverstaion tonight. But we both got tired so off to bed we go. I just have to post this account of today and then get ready for bed and I will be off to that sweet state of mind blackout awareness.. oh! gotta love it.

Today was pretty awsomely fun. It started off with worship team practice bright and early in the morning. I always have fun doing that though. Then church was great today too. Mindy and Jessica both too so that made church just that much more exciting. I wasn't able to sit with them though because I had to be up in the loft running Audio/Visual but it was still cool. Anyway, after the service I got invited over to lunch by about 5 familys. Unfortunaly I already had plans with Mindy, Rachel, and Bekah from our sister dorm. That was really a lot of fun going out to lunch with them. We ended up going to Gaetano's Italian Restaurant across from the airport. We ordered the Supreme Pizza. That was soo good it was like one of the best Pizza's I've ever had. Then we just kind of chatted and giggled a lot. We also ate all the parmesian cheese that they have on the table so we switched with another table and ate all of that one too. When the waitress came by and asked how everything was, I told her they needed bigger holes on the Parmesian Cheese container. She just laughed.... (I was serious) lol. But anway I had a great time. Those Girls are awsome! We were going to try and squeeze in going to one of those other family's houses that invited me over today.. but by the time we finished with lunch it was already 2:30ish. We decided we probalby wouldn't go after all since we would only be able to be there for a little less then 2 hours. It would be better to go another time when we have more time. It would have been fun though (they have a four wheeler). We will have to set a date for that another week though. So anyway.. during that time between lunch and going to Dinner at Luis' house we just came back to liberty. During that time I talked to Allie for a bit online then rounded up the other friends that will be joining me over at Luis' house. I had one of the guys ditch out on me though. But I was still able to get together a pretty good sized crew. Jessica, Mindy, Rachel, Brandon, Josh, & Stephanie. Stephanie met us there but I ended up taking the rest of them in my Van. When we first got there we got the Grand Tour by Luis'. I think invited me and a bunch of friends over was his secret ploy to find people to recuit for worship team at TLC. But it was fun though.. he like intterogated everybody to find out what there specialty was and he was like "we have a place for you here" It was kind of funny though too because he was so excited about it. Some of my friends are already a part of a church though so they wouldn't be able to do anything. So anyway after the grand tour Mindy played the Piano for a bit while the girls watched. And us Guys when up to the Attic and dug out some packs of cards. Once we found some good sets we played a game called Pounce for awhile until Dinner time. I thought it was a pretty good game. (I won!!!). Rachel and Josh didn't really like it though and they didn't play. But they played slap Jack or somethign like that while we played. But then it was Dinner time. Angela made us Lasagna for dinner. It was great! I love a good Lasagna. She did a marvelous job at it. Then we also had salad and Bread sticks that were also very good. Now you think that sounds good.... Anglea also made brownies, Cheese cake, and this really delioucious Peanutbutter chocolate pie thing (not sure what it was called). But I ate until I could eat no more it was all so good. So then after dinner we played some more Card games. Stephanie taught us how to play a game called Maou (spelling?) Except the catch is that she can't tell us the rules. All she could do was give us a guideline that it is kind of like UNO. Then if we ever broke a rule we would get penalized for it and we would have to figure out what the rules were as we went a long. It was really rather fun. Kind of frustrating when you first start out though. But we ended up playing that game right up until it was time to head back to campus. Everybody seemed to have a great time I think. After I dropped everybody off I came back to my room and did a little reading. Then Jessica called me and I helped her do a couple things with my computer. That converstaion ended up lasting about 30 minutes I think. But we also talked and chatted and things while we were working on it so it was a good fun phone call... But that kind of drug my night out into the after 1:00 time again so I'll probably be a little tired in the morning. But oh well.. it was all worth it. It was a wonderfully fun filled day today. Thanks to everybody that participated in it! Night!

Today was sort of eventful but also not really... Its just a break for my massivley busy schedule I have coming up next week. This mornign started off normal with me waking up around 8ish and getting ready to go to work. Things at work were pretty crazy today though. It almost seemed like we had a customer in the store all the time. Then through the busy day we remodeld our invetory wall while we had all the customers coming through. It was kind of messy but we made it through. After closing time finally came I headed back to my room and for the rest of the night I worked on computers and did homework. I had a comptuer for Nicole that she came by and picked up.. then right after she got hers another girl (reese) dropped off her computer and I worked on that for awhile too. It was going to be just a typical Network card install, but it turns out her CD-rom didn't work either, so I had to take that all apart and get that working before I could install the NIC software. But things got working after awhile. While her computer was doing a couple things on its own for about 2-3 hours I did homework. I had to basicly do all next weeks homework tonight since I'll be so busy next week. But I am comfortable now with what I got done it should last through thursday I would think. I will just have a little reading to do and things. But I think I did about 7 hours worth of homework tonight. I'm pretty brain fried at the moment. Then also at around 11:00 somebody called me up and I tried to give them Tech support over the phone.. That ended up taking like 30 minutes.. It was all cool though I love helping people. We semi got the problem solved. She was at least able to do what she needs to do with it. But anyway once I got off the phone with her I decided I better start to get ready for bed. Now that I"m pretty much done blogging I think I"m going to head on to bed now. I have to wake up early for worship team practice in the morning. I'm talking to Allie and Jessica online right now though.. I have to finish chatting with them first then I'll head on to bed (could be like an hour though who know =) J/k. Anyway Night guys!

Man, I sure am tired.. I've been up late working on homework all night. I have also been working on a computer for a girl from Dorm 26 and that needed quite a bit of work so its taken a lot of time too fix. Its finishing up right though so I can finally get to bed. But I'll quickly explain my the events of the day. My first two classes were the typical fight to stay awake in classes. Then once those were over I met up with Jessica and went to Ministry Chapel with her. The guy that spoke today in chapel was giving out free books to random people. I never did get one though. I was like in the middle so he never saw me. But anyway chapel was pretty good today. Once that was over I had the prevledge of going to lunch with Jessica too and sitting with her friends. That was pretty fun. But after I finished eating I had to get ready to go to work. So after we left the Rot I was off to my dorm to drop off a couple things then head out to my car (which I had to scrape a layer of Ice off of to drive). But then the rest of the day is pretty much history. Nothing exciting at work happend today so I was just there working as normal the whole time. Then came back to dinner for a bit and then I was in my room the rest of the night working on homework and this girl's comptuer who dropped it off at my window. So anyway thats just about everything. I need to get to bed now though.. My eyes are all droopy. Have a great night!

Today was a pretty decent day of classes. I fell asleep in one of them again today though, but once again it was just a computer class so it wasn't that big of a deal. There wasn't really anything special in Convocation today either so theres not really much to say about that. So anyway, right after Convo I had to head on over to my Prayer Leader Meeting. That ended up going until around 12:20 so I wasn't able to go eat lunch at the Marriot today. Instead I stopped by take out and just got some food on the go. Then, on my way to work today I stopped by the Donneberg's house and dropped off a postcard for Allie in thier mailbox. I didn't really want to mail it since I could just stop by and drop it in the box. She wanted me to send her a Seattle Postcard from when I went home over Christmas. I never got around to it while I was at home though because of all the funky weather and the short time I was there. So I was a little late but I was able to get one still and get it to her today. But I just swung by and put it in the box, but I didn't stop in and say Hi or anything since I was running later then normal. So I just went ahead and continued on to work after that. Things at work today were pretty typical. I did have to go do a service call at some person's house today though. I had to get a wireless network setup over there and try to get the internet to work on all the comptuers there using there new Cable internet. Unfortunatly thier Cable wasn't working correctly though while I was there so I wasn't able to get that part of it working. But I did get the local Wireless network setup and once their Cable goes online everything shoudl work for them. After finishing up there I headed on back to work for a short time until we closed. Then off to church I went after that. Church tonight was fun as always. We are still doing that bible study on the Secrets of the Vine its been pretty good so far. But after that was over I hung out there for about an hour and chatted with people and then helped clean up once most everybody left. I had a Leadership meeting I had to be at, at 9:00 tonight but I told them I would be at church till late and they knew I would be a little late. I ended up getting there around 9:20 (luckily I found a close parking spot). The meeting went until a little after 10:00 and then I was off to my room to do multiple reading assignments for some of my classes tomorrow. I have finally finished with those and just need to get to bed shortly. So anyway I think thats what I'm going to do soon. I'm going to go ahead and say Adios!

Well, today I wasn't as tired as I was last night. So that was a good thing. I did still kind of fall asleep in my english and history classes today though. I was in and out through the whole period. I just have a big problem with listening to a lecture. I just can't do it. But anyway, I made it through the day and headed on over to work. I wish I could have something exciting to say about that.. but once again thats a negative on the exciting. Allie was online for awhile while I was at work so I did get to chat w/her for a bit through the day while I was working, but other then that it was a standard work day. We stayed after today and worked late until around 9:00 again tonight. We just ordered some Pizza and had that for dinner. Then once 9:00 rolled around I headed back to my abode and did what Jeremy seems to have been doing every night this semester (worse then last semeseter) that wonderful thing called homework. Oh its so Exhilarating!! <--- Sarcasm Alert!!! Well... Thats it for tonight. I'm going to turn in before 1:00 tonight I think. Sweet dreams!

This morning if I didn't know any better, when I crawled out of bed I would have sworn I didn't sleep at all last night. But I can't account for 5 hours so I think I did. But I felt really tired. I was sore from doing all the shoveling the other day too. But I managed to hobble to class still. Once I got there I ended up falling asleep before the class even started. I think I was in and out the entire time and my next class I have in the same room too... well between phases I guess the class got over and the next one had started because I dind't see it happen but there was a new teacher and a different subject being talked about for the bref couple moments I was awake in that class. Good thing those are the two classes I could probably teach myself. I don't think I missed anything I dind't know already. I didn't know if I was going to be able to make it through chapel awake this morning either. But once I got there I ended up waking up a little more by talking to everyone for a bit before it started. I ended up not dozing off luckily during that. After chapel was over, I went back to my room for a short time and worked on some homework before I headed off to lunch. Then on the way to lunch I stopped by the post office and my book I ordered had come in. "Of Mice and Men" the book I'm doing my research paper on was not in the library so I ended up having to order it. But I found it on e-bay for 89 cents so that was a great deal and I snagged that. Good thing I didn't have to pay any more then that for it. I ended up eating lunch with a big group today that I haven't hung out with much lately. I sat with Laurie, and Kat, and Becky, and Ginny, and Heather, and Smitty. That was pretty fun. I kind of mingle around usally and sit with random people. I figured it was thier turn today =). After lunch I then had to head on over to work. Nothing really exciting happend at work today though. That was just a normal work day. Allie ended up calling me while I was at work though and She and Brit invited me to go skating with them once I got off work. They were at FunPlex already when they called and wanted some friends to join them. So once I got off work I headed on over there. They were having a special today and it only cost $2 for entry and skate rental. So that was a really good deal. I think that was like my third time skating or something like that. It took me awhile to get used to it again but I got the hang of it and was able to go pretty fast by the time we were getting ready to go. But during my "getting used to it stage" the girls decided I would like to play the sling shot game... (do not try this at home). Its where we hold hand and skate really fast and then they let go of the guy on the end once they are about to swing around the corner... I would like to say that I don't like that game very much. I ended up shooting across the floor and then falling on my knee and sliding about 4 feet. Luckily my pants didn't rip.. but the skin on my knee sure did. Hard wood floor burn is worse then rug burn by far. I didn't realize that it had happend until later though. But I still had a great time hanging with the girls tonight even if they did try to kill me. I hope we can do that again sometime soon. So anyway, we all headed out around 8:00. I had to still do massive amounts of homework tonight. I finally finished everything just a little bit ago. I was working on it just about the whole time too. I did have to take a break and get some dinner though because I didn't get a chance to eat after work since I went right over to the skate rink. So when I went to the dinning hall to eat I met up with Jessica and one of her friends and we all ate together. They were showing "finding Nemo" on the big screens during the meal too. Jess and I were quoting it almost the whole time we were there. I was only able to stay for about 30 mins though because I had all that homework to do tonight. So I kind of ate and ran tonight. Then also all the guys on my hall decided to put one of our Pranks into action for the RA's tonight. When he came around to do room checks every guy on the hall came down and we all sat in the last room that he would check. So as he was doing the curfew checks he would go from room to room and find that nobody was in any of them... then when he got to the last room we all filed out and we just kept coming... he thought it was pretty funny. That kind of took a long time though that I wish I could have used for homework, but I think it was worth it. I'm going to end up getting to bed pretty late tonight because of that. I'm already tired as it is because of my "sleep" last night. But oh well.. I think I'm going to attemp that sleeping thing right now. So goodnight!

Today was Awsome! I had a blast. It started off as just a regular sunday morning where I woke up early and went to church for worship team practice. Practice went pretty well today. We had two new team members today that we all met and got to know. Then the service itself I would say was pretty flawless this morning. The Pastor spoke on How to hear God's Voice. It was very good. Then another good thing was that Allie curled her hair this morning. She looked so beautiful (I got pictures). Then to top it off I invited some guys from school to come to church. I gave them some of my new TLC cards that I have and they showed up at the service this morning. That was pretty exciting to have them come. They said they really enjoyed it. Thier names were Clyde & Charlie. But then after church was over I went over to the Donneburg's for lunch. But before we ate Britt, Allie and I played 2 games of Scrabble. I would have won if I didn't help Allie win by telling her words to use =). But oh well it was still fun. Britt is better at it then she thought she was though. I guess not enough to win though. But we were all pretty close oint wise once we got to the end. Then just as we were finishing up our scrabble game Pastor Chuck decided we should shovel the street in front of thier house and break up all the ice so we can get lots of cars in the driveway for the superbowl party they were having tonight. They have a really long street/driveway too. So we were out there shoveling for quite awhile. I have like 80 blisters on my hands to prove it. They don't hurt too bad, its just annoying because I can't really do much with my hands with the blisters there. But we did end up getting it pretty close to shovled all the way. Then right after we were done with that, Jo had lunch ready for us. It was delicous as always and was much better then anything the Marriot here at Liberty could do. Then we just got the house ready for about 20-25 people to show up for the party. As they all started rolling in for the evening I was the parking attendant at the begining just making sure we could get everyone in and nobody get stuck in the snow. It ended up working well and we didn't have any problems. During the party I was there and I had to watch all the Kids. That was a lot of fun, there were about 7 of them I think it was. I think we all may have been a little to loud for the people watching the game (oops) but it was fun playing with them all. They brutalized me pretty good again though like they always do. The blisters on my hands didn't really help much either. They pretended that there was a queen in one room and then they had the handmaidens and then two of the girls gaurded the door. I had to try and kidnap the queen. It got pretty rough (those gaurds show no mercy). Once the game started to draw to a close however the kids slowly left along with a lot of the parents. Once it was all over Allie, Britt and I just sat and chatted for awhile sitting on the stairs. But it was getting late and we were all getting tired so I headed out around 11:10. Its a good thing I left when I did though because after finding a parking spot and walking back to my dorm it was 10 minutes before curfew... I had just made it. But anyway that pretty much summarizes my day. It was a much needed fun day that I haven't had in awhile. It was great! So anyway now I'm pooped so I'm off to bed after I sort my laundry that I did while I was the Donnebergs. So I'll say G'nite and get to doing laundry. Night!

This morning I slept in a little longer then normal since I didn't have to be at work until 10:00 today. But once I got to work it was another slow day. We played games most of the time. It was pretty fun. Then after work I headed over to Luis' house and helped him work on a couple things. He is feeling better now. He's just tired from the hospital visit. He ended up coming back Thursday night. Thanks for the prayers! Anyway I got things working for him and a couple things figured out that he needed to know. I ended up leaving his house around 7:00 and then came back to campus to do a little studying. I was invited to go see "Elf" with a group of girls from the sister dorm. So I of course decided to take them up on the offer. It was a 9:10 showing so we headed down to the theater around 8:45. I thought it was a decent movie. Funny in some places and entertaining (I've heard from certain people that it was pretty bad... you know who you are). But I didn't think it was that bad. I wouldn't buy it or anything, but I didn't think it was a waste to go see it. I will admit there were these stupid animal puppets or something in the movie that made those scenes really stupid but other then that it was pretty good. After the movie was over I dropped all the girls off back at thier dorm and then came back here and worked on some more work. I forgot about an essay I have due by Friday though. I was going to work on that tonight but I forgot about it. It will only take me like an hour I think to do (its for my comptuer class) but I was just going to get it over with. Maybe I'll find time Monday or something. Well for now I think I need to head to bed. I have to be at church bright and early for worship team practice. Night!
