Well, today was a very good productive day for me. I ended up sleeping through my first two classes though so that means I didn't have to crawl out of bed until like 9:30. I ended up getting like 8 hours of sleep last night. It was excellent. I even had a couple people comment and tell me I looked "brighter" and more awake today.. (thats because I was). But anyway it was nice. So my first and only thing to do today was chapel. After chapel I had to come back to my room and meet with my SLD's to take care of something for the Prayer Leader meeting we were having tonight. It didn't take too long though so I was able finish up with them and then go to lunch. Today Tori and Johnathan were there for lunch so I ended up being able to sit with them. That was nice because lately I hardly ever get to do that. I'm usually coming and Tori is leaving or vice versa. She still couldn't stay the whole time though and I ended up moving and sitting with Laurie after she left. While I was finishing up eating lunch my work called and said that they were super slow today and I could just take the day off. At first I was thinking well.. since I was so wide awake today and feeling good I didn't really need the day off. But they said all I would be doing was pretty much just standing around if I came So I decided I would just use the time to work on some things homework wise and then Go and fix the Donnebergs computer this afternoon. So since I didn't have to go to work I ended up leaving lunch when Laurie did. I had to run by the Christan Service office to drop off some forms so she walked with me there and then I walked her to class. After that I came back to my room to work on a couple things. Then at around 3:00 I packed up and headed over to the Donneberg's House. I managed to get thier computer semi fixed. I still have a couple more things I'll need to do later though. I ended up leaving the drivers for the sound card here so I'll just have to bring those on a disk next time I'm there. It was nice to have the day off work and hang out there for part of the day. I was able to get quite a bit of studying done while I was there too. Also, normally I can't eat dinner or anything before church on wednesday's since I always end up going straight to church. But since I had the day off I was able to. Allie ended up making me a sandwich just before we left for church. Both Jo and Chuck were gone tonight so we had our small group session over at the Miller's House tonight. I ended up just driving BJ and Allie there tonight. Small groups was ok tonight, but we've defenatly had better. It was still pretty good. We mostly just talked about prayer requests and things that we will be doing from now on. We just finished our last series on Secrets of the Vine and we are in a transistion stage between things right now. After our group got over I ended up taking BJ and Allie back home. Tori came along too because I had to give her a ride back to campus. But after dropping off Allie and BJ, Tori and I went in for awhile. I wanted to show Allie the videos from the missions trip I went on to Utah back with my church in Seattle. So all you friends back home that read this.. if you haven't watched those recently they bring back some good memories.. you should check them out. - Utah Missions Trip Videos - So anyway since we are going to Oklahomah this summer I just thought it would be nice to see the video from the other one I've been on. After seeing that Tori, and I needed to go back to campus. I had a Prayer Leader meeting at around 9:15ish. I ended up getting back right around 9:20 and they barely started so it worked out well. That was my last prayer Leader meeting. In a way I'm glad about that. Its not that I didn't like them that much.. Its just that it was always one more thing I had to do. They kind of got old after awhile. We ended up having a Pizza party tonight though since it was our last one. That was kind of cool. The meeting was a lot shorter then normal too. I ended up being able to leave a little before 10:00. When I got back to my room both Brittany and Allie were online so I talked to them for awhile. After they got off I just worked on studying that crazy stupid history homework of mine. But I think I'm just going to call it quits for tonight and head to bed before 1:00 again. Since I got lots of sleep last night I'm not all that tired.. but I'm kind of on the virge of tired. Once I lay down I will probalby still fall right to sleep though knowing me. Tomorrow I only have one class (my 8:00) so I have other plans for the day if I can pull it off before work @ 1:30. But I'll let you know how that goes tomorrow night. For now I'm gonna hit the hay... or is it straw... or maybe cotton. Oh well.. G'night

Today was another great sunday. I had to be at church by 7:30 this morning though because we were doing a special Kids Craze service this morning. We always need to be there earlier then normal for that becaue of the magnitude of the production so we can get everything setup and have run throughs and everything. We were able to get everything working and practice went well. Things up at my station were all changed around and I had a couple new things I had to deal with. But I was able to make it all work. Shena sat up with me today to watch and learn how its all done because she would like to be able to run the equipment sometimes on sundays as well. It was a little hard to train today though because of everything going on and the complication of everything. But she didn't seem to get scared away by it all so that was good. Anyway the service went pretty good too. We had a few glitches this morning during the real thing but nothing too noticable and the cast made them fit well into the skits and played them off as if that was supposed to happen.. lol. But anyway I think everybody enjoyed it throughly. Afterwards we had a big pot luck style lunch there at the church. It was a thing designed so we could all meet and greet people we've never met.. or seen but haven't gotten to know well. Then we also had a Q&A time for a short time with Pastor Larry. But the food was great and so was the fellowship. I had a great time. After the lunch, the Donneberg's had a bunch of the crew over who was in the cast for the Kids Craze service. So about 12 people or so showed up over there today and we all hung out for awhile. Most of the people watched a movie and some Trampolined. I ended up playing Scrabble with some people. A lot of the people had to leave to go do homework though. They were all there for about 3 hours I would say and then the crowd got down to just John and I for awhile (not including the family). Then Dan showed up for awhile too but he couldn't stay for very long unfortunatly. But it was still fun this afternoon hanging out with everyone. After both John and Dan left. I just hung out there still for the rest of the evening. Allie and I talked for awhile and then we ate dinner while watching a movie. I fell asleep in the chair while wathing the movie though. I don't even remember what it was about. I was pretty tired after that still though. But I wasn't ready to leave yet. I wanted to hang out longer.. (you know me). I decided I was going to leave around 9:30 though so I could get some of my homework done tonight. After heading back to campus as usuall all the parking spaces were taken around my area on campus so i ended up having to go all the way to the other end of campus and walk back. I got back to my room finally around 10:30 (I did leave a little later then 9:30 from thier house though it was more like 9:50). But anyway after getting back I read some stuff and then started on my homework. Daneille stopped by my window to get something so she was here and talked for a little but too. Then I find out I have a prayerleader meeting tonigth too. I was supposed to be there at 12:10. It was another long boring useless meeting and it ended up going till about 1:00. Those things lately have been like the energizer bunny.. they just keep going and going. It wouldn't have been so bad if I wasnt so tired and didn't have so much homework to do. But that how I am all the time so there really is no good time to have a PL meeting I guess now that I think about it. But anyway finally after being released from the meeting I was able to finish part of my homework. I was able to finally finish with all the stuff required for one class tonight. It was one of my comptuer classes. So I won't need to do anything else for that class not.. (besides turn it in). I really wanted to get my history done or at least close to done tonight too but because of the meeting that wasn't going to happen. I still have a lot left to do on that. I hope tomorrow I can be productive in area. Since I at least got once class done I think I need to go to sleep now. I'm past the seeing double right now and I've acheived the seeing Quad... so if this blog made no sense today thats because I can't read it since I can't see straight. I hope I didn't butcher it too bad. Ok with that said... I'm off.. over and out!

Sunday, April 25, 2004

Today was a pretty good day. If you read my last post you would know I stayed the night over at the Donneberg's last night. So this morning I woke up at 8:00 and got ready for the day. I woke up a little early just incase I decided I should go back to my room and get a change of clothes or if I needed something else for the day. But after waking up I made some coffee and lounged around in the kitchen for awhile. BJ was awake at the time so I just visited with her for awhile. Shortly after that Allie wandered out and we sat and drank coffee. Allie ended up just letting me borrow one of her tee-shirts so I woulnd't have to go back to campus to get a change of clothes. So since I wasn't going to go back we decided to go out to breakfast at Country Cooking. So Jo, Allie, BJ and I headed over and had a buffet breakfast. I pigged out on the bacon.. haha pig.. bacon... get it?? ok.. nevermind. So anyway.. after eating breakfast I was running a little late and after leaving them and heading to work I ended up being about 5 minutes late or so. The guys kind of fussed at me for that. But other then that bout the rest of the day at work went pretty good. We are still fairly slow over there so we ended up playing a few game periodically throughout the day. But then once we closed I headed back to campus. I hadn't been there since 11:00am yesterday morning so I had a coulpe things to get organized. I also did a devotion and I needed to catch up on my blog. Once I finished up with those things I then headed back over to the Donneberg's house. So anyway after getting there Allie and Britt and I went to the mall. Because of some past comments here on the blog I decided I needed to get my hair cut. I wanted to figure out a good way of doing it so to make everybody semi-happy. While I was at work Allie tried to call some hair places to make an appointment for me to get my hair cut and styled. But she didn't have any luck at places that accept appointments I think they were all full or something. So I ended up going to MasterCuts. Britt also decided to get hers shortened while we were all there too. It was about a half our wait or so, so it wasn't too bad at all. But while we were waiting in line I got really really nautious I think it may have been because of the smell of the perm someone was getting. I don't really know what caused it but I had to leave and go sit down for awhile. After about 15 minutes I was much better. Then it never returned again today so that was good.. I don't know what happend there. But anyway, once my name was called I went in and was ready to do this thing. Allie came and sat near and helped me decide on what to do. I think in the end it turned out really well. I hope it is a good "compromise" between the differing opinions. Go ahead and comment some more with your thoughts on my "new do" as you see it in the webcams and such. So anyway.. after Britt and I finished with our hair cuts we went over to the Millers house for a cookout party with a bunch of people from church. It was a lot of fun there. I think about 30 people were probably there. I didn't really eat much though because I wasnt' sure about the Nautious feeling I had earlier and I didn't want to make it come back. So I just kind of munched here and there. Tori, Allie and I played a game of scrabble while we were there. I ended up losing hard so I'm not going to talk about that.. =). But after the scrabble game a big group of us all played a game called dictionary. It is where one person picks a word nobody knows out of the dictionary and everyboyd has to come up with a fake defention for it. Then the person that looks it up also writes in a real defention. Then one person reads them all and we guess which defention was the right one. It was pretty funny at times. The party kind of died down around 10:30 though so everybody started to leave. I ended up taking home Tori and Allie. After dropping off Allie.. Tori and I had a pretty good converstion on the way back to campus about something she's been dealing with. That was nice I haven't been able to have good solid conversation with her for awhile lately because we've been so consumed with the pressures of the last weeks of school. So anyway after dropping her off I got back to my dorm before midnight for once.. lol.. I was able to work on some homework and some other projects I needed to get done before heading to bed. So, thats just about it for my great Saturday. (I love weekends).. Well... I need to get to bed now. I have to be at church tomorrow morning at 7:30. So I'm one my way. G'Night!

Saturday, April 24, 2004

Hey everybody.. I didn't get a chance to write by blog last night.. but I thought I would take a quick moment and fill you in. I ended up having to wake up and go to class extra early yesterday. I was doing that group project presentation so we had to be there 30minutes early. But my whole group ended up getting there on time and we were able to setup and get prepared pretty easily. The presentation went very good. We had to go for about 30-35 minutes and we hit about 32 minutes so it was very good timing. The teacher said we had great information as well. So once that class was over I was releived to have that out of the way. Then in the next class the teacher said he didn't have any offical lesson setup but we could just use the class period to ask questions for our test. I ended up just asking him if we could just leave. He said yeah that was fine too. So I ended up leaving after about 10minutes of class. I was able to use the short amount of extra time to work some more history work and things. Then in Chapel today you'll never guess who the speaker was... It was Elvis Presley's Brother. Yep, I'm not joking he came and spoke here. I didn't even know he had a brother before. Let alone that he was a christain. But I guess I found out.. He shared his testamony and just gave us a couple things to think about and then he had an inviation as well. I think it was very well actually. After chapel I headed to the post office to setup a mail forwarding service for the summer. I ended up just routing it all to the Donneberg's house for the summer. I didn't know what the address to the apartment is I'm going to stay at for the summer yeah so thats why I did that. Anyway I then went to lunch and then came to my room for a short while to work on a couple other things and grab some things I would need to work on the Donneberg's computer after work. Then I was on my way to work. I had to stop by the Donneberg's house really quick on my way there to drop something off but I still made it to work on time. Things at work were once again slow though so it just felt like the day dragged on and on. The fact that I was going to go over to the Donneberg's afterwards probably made the day seem to drag on as well.. it just always seems like it doesn't come fast enough. But once it finally hit 6:00 I headed on over to thier house. We had a small dinner while we watched the Movie "Ghost". After the movie was over Jo and BJ and I headed over to the church really quick to grab part of the computer I needed to work on. I ended up working on the comptuer for almost two hours. (It didn't go as smoothly as planned). But after some work and swapping things around I finally got it work. After working on the computer for awhile though I called my dorm and signed out for the night because I figured it would probably take me past curfew to get it working. So after getting it working, since I was already signed out I decided I would just hang out for awhile longer. We ended up watching "While you were Sleeping" and I fell asleep "while it was playing" The movie ended up getting over right around 2:00am. The ended up letting me just stay the night there since it was so late. I wasn't sure if I shoudl though because I didn't bring anything to change into in the morning or anything. So I was thinking on whether to go back or just stay. But I couldn't help it, its just too much fun over there so I decided I would just stay the night and wear the same stuff tomorrow or just leave early in the morning and change. Allie ended up getting me a toothbrush and some other things like that that I would need. So it worked out pretty well. Then this morning instead of wearing the same shirt again I just borrowed one of Allie's Tee-shirts for today. So it ended up working out pretty well. I'm glad I stayed. Oh and also the cat (tux) ended up jumping on me in the night and sleeping on my chest. That was nice. He kept me warm. So anyway.. I think that just about covers my friday. Today has been great so far and this evening should be fun too.. but you'll have to wait for tonights blog for those details.... I know.... don't you love the suspense =). j/k

Well... Things went pretty well today. I got a fairly good amount of homework done this evening. I'm anxious for another weekend though. But anyway.. classes were the typical nap times as usual today and then work was another slow day. I wish I had some kind of excitement today but I don't think there was any =(. I did get a phone call from Jo Donneberg today and an e-mail from Allie and those are always nice highlights though. But as far as stuff happening.. I had nothing. After work I came back to my room and cooped myself up and buckled down and did some homework. Danielle and Jessica stopped by my window to say Hi this evening that was pretty cool. I gladly accepted that interuption. I was able to get just about everything done I needed to except for my history which I still have a lot of work left to do on. But then tonight we had Brother/Sister Hall meeting so we all had hall meeting in Demoss today (Our dorm and 28-1 only). It was kind of fun. It was a talent show kind of thing. It was kind of funny. After our meeting I came back and did prayer groups then started on my homework once again. I also had a computer in here that needed to be worked on so I had that setup next to me and kind of worked on that while I was doing my other homework. So yeah.. anyway I think that just about covers everything. I have to be at my class tomorrow at 7:30 to setup for our group project presentation. It will be nice to get it out of the way though. Ok so with that said... I'm out.

Well... that tiredness has kicked in again. I'm very tired once again. My first class this morning was cancelled though so I at least got to sleep in a little this morning. Convocation was mediocare today. Dr. Falwell spoke again today. He spoke on "Finishing Strong". I think he was trying to get us motiviated as the year comes to a close to not give up early. It was good but nothing I didn't know already. After Convocation today I had to got to a prayer leader meeting. It was the last one of the year for the campus wide meeting (Yea!). So yeah.. after that meeting I had lunch then headed to work. Scott had called in sick today so when I got there I found out Andy was there all morning by himself. I guess its good we have been on the slow side lately. The workday seemed to move along quite nicely today though. It didn't feel like we were just standing around a lot like it has been lately. So anyway, after work I headed on over to church for the wednesday night service. Tonight we had a discussion on "Hot Topics" Today we discussed homosexuallity. We also watched a video put together by Focus on the Family about it. I ended up getting a call in the middle of the video though and it came from my home area code (206) so I decided I had better answer it just incase it was my family or something. It turns out it was my old job in Seattle that had questions about websites and computers. I ended up being on the phone for about 30 minutes. I was glad I was able to help but its too bad I missed part of the service. So anyway once the service got out I hung around and helped people clean up and talked with some people for awhile. After the crowd there died down I decided to head back to campus. After getting there I had my other prayer leader meeting that I needed to attend. Then I had to leave that a little early so I could go to the computer lab and meet up with a group for one of my classes. We had to get together a presentation we are doing this friday. We ended up working on that until just after midnight. I got back to my room around 12:30 where I could finally start to get things settled in for the day. I think I've gotten some things done I need to get done for tomorrow so with that.. I'm going to head to bed now. Asta Luigi! =)

Oh man, I finally got to a stopping point on my homework. I'm pretty much done now. I just have to put together some study material for my history class and I'll be all set. I know I"m probalby going to be tired tomorrow. I can't wait until the summer when I can actually sleep some. It was partly my fault tonight though because I did spend some time working on my Photo Album. But I know you were all axiously waiting for those to go up. So at least you can see them now =). I know you will love the new ones. Anyway.. This morning I slept through my first class (english) Thats the first time I've done that this semester. I'm not sure what happend. I either forgot to turn on my alarm clock last night.. or turned it off in my sleep. I ended up waking up 10 minutes before my second class this morning. Too bad I guess. Luckily I didn't miss anything according to a friend I called who is in that class with me. So at least it happend on a good day. Other then that the school day was normal and nothing exciting happend I need to report on. Then today after work we stayed after late. I only ended up staying until 8:00 though instead of 9:00 so I could get back to school to work on homework. Its a good thing too... or I would have been up till 4:00 probably. Ok well anyway.. thats all I really have to say.. I'm tired and I'm ready for bed. So have a great night! And Don't forget to check out my Photo Album!

Today I had to get back to my normal routine. After an awsome weekend I hated to have to go back to it.. but thats the way it goes I guess. I was massively tired all day today. My morning was a typical class day. I did have the privledge of eating lunch with Laurie today at the Rot. That was fun. But other then that I really don't have anything significant to report on. I went to work and then right after work I came to my dorm and confined myself in here to do some homework. I was able to get a presentaition done and a little bit of history. But after trying to do history I decided it was useless because I would fall asleep after every other paragraph. So I decided I would do something that I would have to do a lot of stuff on to keep me awake and I could actually accomplish something. That activity was working on the photos of the weekend. I got the preliminary work done on them tonigt. I worked on them for about 2 1/2 hours or so. I still need to do all the captions and everything and then they will be all set to go online. I might get a chance to do that tomorrow.. but I have to work late tomorrow so I don't know if it will work. We'll find out though. But anyway.. once I got to the stopping point with the pictures I decided I should probalby head to bed. I'm very tired again. Chat at you all again later!

Man.. I'm still tired. I don't think I got enough sleep still last night. I still have to make up for not blogging last night though so I can't go to sleep until I get that done. I'll probably fall asleep a couple times while I write this though. So anyway I have to tell you all about the wonderful day I had last night.. and then also the great day today as well. First off Saturday started out as a pretty normal day. I woke up and headed to work as usual. Andy took the day off again this weekend so it ended up just being Scott and I to run the place. Once 3:00 rolled around though I rushed right out to head back to my dorm and get ready for the events of the day. There was a group from Liberty today that decided we were going to all dress up in formal wear and go to Cici's Pizza and then go mini-golfing. It sounds crazy I know but it sure was a lot of fun. So after work I came back and got ready all dressed up with my bow tie and everything and then headed over to the Donneberg's house to pick up the girls. When I pulled up to the driveway they were already outside and thier mom was taking pictures. It felt like a dream or something.. I mean there was no way there could be anybody as beautiful as they were in real life... It gave me goose bumps. (I'll have pictures soon). It took me awhile to realize that they were actually THAT Beautiful and I wasn't dreaming. So after getting my bearings straight once again I joined them for some more pictures around the house. We got quite a few good ones =)! After getting like 100 pictures taken we all piled in my Van and headed back to campus. We were there earlier then I expected and everybody we were supposed to meet hadn't shown up just yet so we took some more pictures while we waited. Once everybody arrived (About 25-30) we all headed over to Cici's Pizza. It was actually fairly busy there that night too so we had everybody stairing at us like we were crazy (because we are). It was actually pretty good food there too. I really like thier dessert pizza. After everybody finished eating we piled back into the cars and headed over to the Put Put golf place. Once we got there I realized that I had left my camera at Cici's so Britt, Allie, and I got back in the car and drove back to find it. They had found it for me there already and I walked in and she handed it right to me.. I didn't even have to ask and she knew. So after getting my camera back I felt a little better and the three of us drove back to the Put Put again. We played one round of Mini Golf once we got there. I ended up winning with a score of 15. The girls did pretty good too and weren't far behind. I made a few holes in one too it was fun. After the mini golf round we went inside and played a couple of the arcade games and activities they had in there. There is one game called "Dance Dance Revolution" (DDR) you are supposed to follow the prompts for the moments. We played the one that you do with your hands. There is also one you do with your feet but we never actually had a chance to play that one. But anyway... I was horrible at that game. I might have been better at the foot dance version but I'll never know now. We ended playing this laser game and Britt did a Virtual Reality thing (I have a picture of that one too). Once we ran out of tokens we decided to blow that popsicle joint and go someplace else. We did want to go to a youth group activity at blueridge church (And still be in our formals) but it turns out they didn't have it going on this weekend. We were all sad about it too because that would have been really fun. But since that didn't work out we decided to go to Sunday Grill and get some Ice cream. That place was pretty full last night too so we had quite a few people wondering why we were all dressed up. But it was awsome. After having ice cream we decided to just go up to the Bald Spot on Liberty Mountain. It was really nice up there that evening. It is just a big open patch on the side of the mountain where you can see all of lynchburg. It was really pretty up there. We tried to take pictures but because it was so dark it didn't really work all that well. We got some fun ones of us while we were up there though. So anyway.. after sitting up there for a long time we headed back to Brittany and Allie's house and we just hung out there for the rest of the evening. So anyway that just about covers every thing. I know I had a great time and the girls had a great time. I'm just happy I had the privledge to spend the evening with two very georgous girls. I had a blast.. or as one would say "I had an explosion" =). Anyway.. very soon you will be able to see the pictures of the night. I just need to find some time to post them. Well for now thats it for Saturday.. I'm going to stop and write about the fun times from today. Sunday Today I was pretty tired through most of the day. I had to wake up at 7:00 again this mornign so I could get to church for worship team practice. This morning we were a little bit unorganized though because since last week was easter we had all kind of planning that went into that and they never really got around to figuring out all the details for the week after. But we pulled ourselfs through and the service went pretty well despite. When it comes to praising God TLC knows how to do it practice or no practice =). After the service was over I hung around for a long time and just mingled and migrated talking to everyboy. Once it got down to very few people left at church I left too and went with Britt and Allie to thier house. They wanted to change clothes for the afternoon. After they did that we stopped by Tokyos take out restarunt and got some lunch to eat and brough it with us back to the baldspot again this afternoon. We had seen it at night and decided we could go up again today and see what its like with the sun out. I think I like it better at night. But it was still a very good view. After eating lunch there we just layed around up there and soaked up the sun for awhile. All three of us ended up getting a little sunburned. I think we were up there for just over an hour and then we went to Sheetz to get some Slurpee's. The next thing we decided to do was go Roller Blading in the Vines Center at Liberty. It was fun but they didn't have the AC turned on in the building today for some reason so it was rather hot in there. We only went around three times before stopping. That was the first time using our new skates too so we found out that we need to loosen the barrings a smidgen before we go next time. They were just a little to stiff and they didn't roll very easy. After we got done skating we headed back to thier house and we just stayed there for the rest of the evening. Allie and I washed thier dog Jake (My dog too) with the hose outside on thier porch. He really hates getting sprayed with the hose but once he was all clean he still loved us. I also did a load of laundry while I was over there this afternoon. While I was over there hanging out and having fun I might as well accomplish something useful too right? LoL. Anyway after washing Jake we watched a movie call "The Newsies" It is a musical type thing. Britt was casted in a play once on the same story. I thought it was a pretty fun movie. Anyway once that was over we just lounged around and watched some Television.. I kind of fell asleep though. After awhile we ended up all going in the living room and the whole family was there... So we all just talked about some plans for the summer and the Missions Trip We will probably be going on. We are thinking about going to Oklahoma to help out at a camp for a week. It is the same camp that Brittany will be working at all summer. We are just planning on going during the first week to help get it launched for the summer. After our discussion upstairs we went and watched some more TV. Then we had a late supper. After that we put in Shrek and started to watch that. I was only able to watch part of it though because I needed to leave around 11:00. I had lots of homework I needed to do tonight. I was able to get 2 of my 5 things done tonight. I should be able to get the rest done tomorrow night I hope. But after finishing up with part of my homework I decided to start working on this blog entry for today. I've been working on it for just over an hour now. I'm really tired right now though I'm seeing doubles here and there on some things. In the past 5 days I think I've gotten less then 20 hours of sleep. I'm pooped. But it was all worth it though. I've had a great weekend with lots and lots of things going on. I think I need to just go aheand and head to sleep now though. So Good night one and All!!

Today was sooooo awsome. I took Britt and Allie out to a Prom Substitue for them. I have massive pictuers I need to organize and put on the web from it too. But Allie told me not to blog tonight and just go to bed because she said I looked more tired then she's ever seen... She may be right.. I'm very tired. I really wanted to write about it all tonight while it was fresh in my mind but.. It was soo much fun I'll probably not forget anything. So anyway I need to go to bed because I have to wake up at 6:30 tomorrow. I"ve been behind on sleep the last couple days straight.. I'm going to aim for a little more tonight hopefully. Bye for now.. and tomorrow I"ll fill in the rest for you!

Saturday, April 17, 2004

Alright.. today was a pretty solid day. I am pretty tired from it. It started out with my 8:00 class and I just had a group meeting project time today for that instead of class. We all worked out what we are going to do for our presentation. After that in my 9:00 class, the rest of the students went for presentations for everyone that didn't do one on Wednesday. Then rather then going to Convo today I went to ministry chapel instead - it was pretty good. After chapel I went and grabbed some Take out from the dinning hall. I didn't eat it right away though I had to do a bunch of other things first so I just brought it with me. After that I had to go check my mail to see if something I ordered has come in yet. Sadly it had not.. it was going to be a surprise for Britt and Allie for our Formal thing on Saturday.. but I guess it won't work out now for that. I'll just have to save it for Wednesday or something. =(. Anyway after my unuseful trip to the post office I went back to my room to get a couple things taken care of before heading out to find my car. I couldn't remember for the life of me where I had parked last night and so I left a lot earlier then normal so I could walk around and try and find it. It turned out I was close by so it didn't take long at all. So with my extra time I went around Lynchburg and ran a couple errands and then I stopped by "my house" and brought my take out lunch there and just ate while I was visiting with them. Most everybody was busy working on something though but thats ok. I wasn't able to stay long anyway. I was only there about 30 minutes or so before heading off to work. Things at work today were moving along pretty good. We didn't get to that point where we just stand around the whole time like we have been lately.. So that was nice. I ended up leaving an hour early today though so I could come back to campus and get ready for the JR/SR banquet I was asked to come to. I had to get all fancyied up since it was a formal event. I was ready by 5:30 to meet the girls right on time =). The girls were running late though haha.. I was originally going to go with two girls but somethings got switched around and in the end I ended up taking 4 girls with me. They are all pretty cool though and It was fun. I have some pictures I'll have on the website very soon. But for now I'll tell you their names. (Danielle, Jessica, Tabitha, and Amanda). So we all piled in the car and hit the road. It was about an hour drive to Roanoke but we made it there right on time. They started about a couple minutes after we got there. Over all the Banquet was a lot of fun. The "Murder Mystery Theater" they had tonight was pretty cheesy though and It could have been better. It was funny in areas and entertaining.. but for the type of event this was I don't think it was all that appropriate. But oh well.. it was cool anyway. One thing I did tonight was Overdose on the sugar.. lol. I ended up having some Iced Tea that they brough out unsweetend. I ended up putting 8 packets of sugar in it to make it the right consistency. Then I also had 7 cups of coffee (yes caffinated). Then in each of those cups I had 4 packets of sugar. So over all I ended up having 36 of those packets of sugar. Everybody told me I was going to be wired... I'm wired naturally and act crazy on my own so its hard to tell if the sugar helped any. I did have a lot of fun acting crazy though =). But in the end I was still tired and if I would have layed down I would have fell right to sleep no problem. So anyway after the banquet was over we were free to be out until 2:30 tonight. So we decided to go and try to find the Roanoke Star, we didn't really have any luck though.. we would keep driving towards it, but the the road would end up turning or being a dead end... We just gave up and went to a coffee house in Downtown Roanoke instead. Unfortunatly that closed at midnight so by 12:30 we were all kicked out. After that we just headed back to lynchburg and once we got back we went to IHOP for the rest of the time we could be out. It was fun going to IHOP in formals.. everybody looks at you funny for some reason. I didn't really get much though I just ate some toast but we just hung out there for awhile. We ended up getting back to campus around 2:00 and by the time I was back to my dorm it was around 2:15ish or so. So anyway.. I'm pretty tired... (I don't think the sugar affected me at all) I still need to wake up for work tomorrow and I'm planning another fun and eventful day tomorrow. So I think I should get as much sleep as I can. So with that.. I'm going to bed! Night!

Well today I had an english test. I think I did really good on it though too. But I got out of class pretty early because of it so I just went to my computer LAB class early. Since I went to that early I was able to get out of that early too and so I was able to go back to my room and have a lot of extra time to work on stuff. I was able to start writing an E-mail during that time too but I ended up not being able to finish it by the time I had to go to class. We had a quiz today in history and I ended up doing quite well on it. That was great. But during the rest of the class I kept falling asleep. I was able to stay awake enough to get what I need though I think. After the class I would normally just go straight to work. But since I skipped lunch to try and write that e-mail today I had to swing by the Dinning Hall and grab some take out. I was running pretty late for work by that time. But I was hungry so I went to get it anyway. Then on the drive to work there were three accidents. It ended up taking me about 20 minutes to get to work today. One accident was on the freeway and we just had one lane in that part so the traffic went kind of slow through there.. then further down my trip to work. There was a Pickup Truck leaving Lowes with 2x4's in the back and then he like turned too sharp or something and all the wood flew everywhere on the road.. so that was a nice hold up until he could get out and pick it all up. Then right at the gas station next to my work a gas truck spilled like 100 gallons of gasoline all over the road. So I had to go around the block so I could pull into our buiding parking lot. They had like 4 fire trucks and like 4 police cars and 3 amulances.. that was pretty crazy. So after being througholy late to work (about 40 minutes) I was able to get to work. Because of all the stuff happening out side our store we were very slow until they could get everything cleaned up. But over all it was a pretty good work day today. After work it was a pretty slow night for me. I ended up going back to campus to eat dinner.. then I called BJ at home to see how she was doing by herself tonight. But it turns out the rest of the family came back today and they will just be staying for the rest of the week. So I didn't actaully get to talk to BJ.. I talked to Jo instead for awhile. But anyway I just came back to my room after that and finished that e-mail I was writing and then worked on some homework. Later Allie got online so I talked to her for awhile.. then I talked to my mom some tonight too. But I think I need to start heading to bed now.. I have a long day tomorrow going to the JR/SR banquet and all. So with that said.. I"m gone! =)

Today was a fairly good day. It started out kind of wierd though. I think when my alarm went off the first time this morning I set my clock forward an hour on accident. Then I ended up feeling like I was late to class so I jumped out of bed and got ready to head to class. Just as I was about to leave my roomate asked me what I was doing up so early for. Then I looked at my wrist watch and realized it was an hour early. It sad too because now I was all dress and I didn't want to go back to bed for only 40 minutes. So instead I just decided to move my devotion time to this morning instead of after Convo like normal. It ended up working out well too because I wouldn't have had time to do it after convo if I hadn't done it this morning because of prayer leader meetings. So anyway I just did that before class. My first class was pretty much the same as normal though and I dozed off a little in that class. In my next class though it was defenatly a different day. We've been taking that ICE test in that class that last two times we met so the teacher never even came in for those time. Well it turns out that today was the day we were supposed to have a presentation all prepared and and have a 10 minute presentation to share to the class about some technical subject about computers. Since the teacher hasn't come in the past couple days he never reminded us. Well only 3 people actually were offically prepared for the day to do the presentation. The rest of the class had no idea. So after the 3 prepared students went we still had some more time for some more presentations. The teacher asked the class if anybody wanted to just come up and talk about thier subject for 10 minutes just trying to wing it. I decided I was going to give it a shot. Well I went up and talked about the details on what happends when Windows XP boots up and I also had some time left after that so I talked about the difference between file systems within windows (FAT & NTFS). I didn't have any notes or powepoint slides or anything. But I just did it all out of memory and used the computer that was in the classroom as a visual. Everybody told me after class that I did better on that presentation then the other students did that came to class prepared. The teacher liked it too, so I think I ended up getting full credit on that. That was kind of interesting to just wing it.. I'm not normally a good enough speaker to just do that but it worked out well for me today. Good thing I knew my topic inside and out and work with it everyday. Oh well anyway after that class was over I headed over to Chapel. The worship time was really good in chapel today, but I wish I could tell you what Dr. Falwell spoke on but to be honest I have no idea what he said. I don't know what happend I may have been completely zoned out or something. I was sitting next to Mindy though and we talked back and forth so I know I didn't go to sleep. But anyway.. after Convo I had to go to my prayer leader meeting. And then it went over some today too so I only had about 25 minutes to eat lunch. I ended up having to scarf down lunch and then rush to work afterwards. Things at work today were getting back to the busy stage. I like it when it is semi busy though because that way we at least have something to do instead of stand there and look at the wall. It made the time go by rather quickly which was nice. Right after work I had to rush over to church though because they moved the service to 6:00 this week instead of 6:30 so I ended up being a little late. It was ok though because they didn't really start on time tonight anyway. We weren't doing any offical lessons tonight anyway. It was just pot luck style dinner and a time of fellowship. Since we just finished with "secrets of the vine" we are in the transition stage to a new curriculum so we do the fellowship wednesday at the transition week. It was pretty fun. BJ wasn't able to make it tonight though, I was going to swing by and pick her up but she just wasn't feeling well. I was sad cause I really wanted her to come rather then sit home by herself all night. But oh well I guess thats how it goes. I played with the Kids most of the time while I was there though. I ended up leaving just after 8:00. On the drive back to campus I decided I was going to call Allie at her Dad's house and surpise her and just talk for awhile. But unfortunatly she wasn't there at the time. Then come to find out once I got back to campus she had left an IM on my computer saying that I could feel free to call her at her dads house if I wanted. That wasn't funny because now if I called her she would think it was because of the IM and not because I was going to do it anyway. that kind of threw a hitch in the plot.. but I ended up calling her later tonight anyway. We ended up talking for over an hour. Thats like the longest I've talked on the phone in awhile it was cool. I probalby could have talked more but I have limited minutes on my cell phone so I had to go before I used them all. I wish I had unlimited nights and weekends sometimes. So anyway after getting off the phone with her I ran down the hall and worked on some people's computers for awhile. There were two people tonight that needed help. One person needed to have his computer re-done from scratch. I did have some homework I needed to do tonight but I was only able to get part of it done. Thats ok though... it wasn't absolutley necissary to get it done tonight. It just would have been nice. Ok.. well anyway I think thats all I have to say about my day. I'm outie!

Today was a fairly good day. I woke up around 6:00 naturally this morning but I was still very tired so I kind of just layed there for awhile. I kept waking up like every 10 minutes though for some reason. But anyway my alarm went off after about an hour of that anyway so I just decided to get up. I did pretty good at staying awake in my english class this morning though which is always nice. Then I had my computer class that I always just do whatever in - I usually I don't fall asleep in that class. After I finished up with that class I went back to my room and worked on some homework and things, after doing a devotion. I also read Psalm 86 which is a great chapter you should read it! Anyway after it got close to time for my next class to start I headed out and stopped and got some lunch really quick then I was off to history. That class I did have trouble staying awake in though. I was groggy throught the entire class. Anyway once that class was over I headed to work. I had lots of stuff to do at work today. We just changed our servers to one new one and I had to do a lot of reconfiguring to make everything work right. Then we were also extremely busy at a couple points through the day which is good, but its too bad it had to happen when I needed to get the servers working. I was able to get everything setup through by closing time.. it just took a lot longer then normal. Thats the kind of stuff I like to do though is setup servers and things so it was nice to have that for a change of routine. They guys wanted me to stay after work tonight like we normally do on tuesdays but I told them I couldn't.. I had a dinner date. I ended up going over to "My House" and having dinner with BJ. Since the Donneberg family left for the week, she is at the house all by herself this week. I wanted to make sure she had some company some through the week. We had spagetti and salad for dinner. It was very very good. Then we just kind of relaxed and we watched America's Funniest Home Vidoes Marathons until around 9:00. After that I just came back to campus to work on some homework and things. I am just about done with the paper I have to write for my english class. Thats pretty much the last main thing I have besides the finals. So I'm anxious to get that out of the way. I also talked to some people online tonight and like 4 guys came in and needed help with thier computers tonight. So I was in and out working on those too. But anyway.. I think I'm going to call it a night now. Tchau! I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, but in what direction we are moving. - Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894)

Happy Easter Everyone! Today is a great day because we can celebrate Christ! (Which we should do everyday anyway). But its always just extra special on this day. I had to wake up at six o'clock this morning though. I had to be at church by 7:30 and I had to swing by and pick up Allie and Brittany on the way. I wanted to make myself look nice today being that it's easter and everything... So I wore my bow tie today. I always get lots of people that compliment me on my bow tie. Well anyway after arriving at church at 7:30 we started with practice. It took a lot longer to get things setup today being the fact that we had a huge band today. But it made worship pretty spectacular this morning. We had drums, Bongos, Alto & Tenor Sax, Trombone, Trumpet, Keyboard, Xylophone, Acustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Organ and a full choir. It was awsome. I had the privledge of worshiping God on stage, singing and helping lead worship this morning. Normally my duties are in the Technical area running sound and powerpoint. But it was fun for a change to switch it up and sing. Everything went really well in the service this morning too. Our goal for easter was to have 150 people though.. I don't think we quite made that though. But it was still a decent turn out. After the service I had the Joy of spending the Easter Afternoon with the Donneberg Family. We had a terrific lunch and then they even had an easter basket all prepared for me. I felt all special. Its great to have a local family. We all got squirt guns in our basket so we had an all out water war in the house until Mom decided that it was enough and we had to stop before everythign was soaked. It ended up with everybody against me... I think I lost. It was fun though. For the better part of the afternoon we sat downstairs and watched some old school cartoons. Like Bugs Bunny and Popey and stuff. Some of the cartoons we watched were pretty strange though.. I don't know how some children would like them. But we just sat and talked some through them anyway. The Family had to leave around 4:00 this afternoon though they are going to spend some time with friends for the week. So BJ and I said our good byes to them and then it was just us hanging out at the house for the rest of the evening. I ended up staying there with her until a little after 8:00 we just watched tv and stuff. I ended up falling asleep though. She makes a great pillow though I will say. I had to leave shortly after 8:00 though because I had some homework I needed to work on back at my dorm. So I returned to campus and started on that. I got invited to go to Late night to have some Grub with some friends though so I took a break and went with them for about 40 minutes or so. I had to leave early before they all did though because I needed to get back. On the way back I called my parents and wished them a Happy Easter. The rest of my family was over there tonight too so they just kind of passed the phone around and I was able to talk to my sisters, my mom and Dad and my Grandma tonight. It was pretty good. Its been awhile since I heard thier voices. After finishing up with them though I just worked on homework for awhile. Allie ended up getting online tonight too so I was able to talk to her some tonight which was good... (Since I've only seen her every day last week). =). lol.. But anyway that just about covers my Easter. I hope your was just as great as mine was. Have a wonderful night! Happy Resurrection Day! " He is not here, for He is risen, just as He said...Come, see..." May the joy of Easter surround you today and always. He is ALIVE and we too can live! (Kathy Dillinger, April 2004)

Sunday, April 11, 2004

Well, today was an excellent day. (Seems I've been having those a lot lately =) I woke up and headed to work as usual this morning. Work was good today. We were semi slow again though, but since it was saturday, which is usually our relax day, we played a lot of games while we waited for computers to do thier things, and in between customers. The day seemed to go by pretty fast because of that. After it was time to go though I headed back to campus to take care of a couple things. (such as write my blog for last night). But I couldn't be there long because I needed to be at church for practice today at 4:30. So I ended up leaving around 4:00 to pick up Allie and Brittany and give them a ride to church because they are in the choir too. I think practice went well over all. The choir is having a little trouble though because everything else seems to be louder then us and we can't hear ourselfs. We don't have a monitor or anything so it makes things a little difficult expecially in such a small choir. But I think we will be able to manage. It only took about two hours and then we were able to leave. Allie Brittany and I were going to go to Blueridge this evening for a youth event they are having. But we decided not to. RJ.. Allie and Brittany's "brother" was over at thier house and they almost never get to see him so they wanted to spend some time with him tonight instead. So we just hung out at thier house the rest of the evenign instead. We didn't do anything super exciting though but it was still nice to just "chill". I ended up heading out shortly after 10:00 and came back to campus. Before heading to my dorm though I stopped in on Becky's Birthday Party and made my presence known there for a bit. I didn't stay long though because I wanted to get back and attempt to get some homework done. I was able to put a pretty good sized dent in my homework pile tonight so that was a good feeling. I decided I was done for the night now and I'm going to head to bed. I have to be leaving campus tomorrow @ 7:00 so I can be at church super early for practice. Since I have to be at church an hour earlier then normal I'm going to try and go to bed an hour earlier then normal... but then I also need to wake up a little earlier so I can get dressed up extra specail for easter as well. So I'm going to go to bed even earlier... as you can see it is way before 1:00am. You don't see that too often.

Hey everybody, I just got back from work and I found a moment I could write my blog for yesterday. Normally I would have just made a quick short blog for yesterday and just left it at that.. but yesterday was pretty good so I didn't want to leave it out. So anyway. The only thing that was really the same yesterday was my first class. Other then that the rest of the day was different and fun. In my second class instead of having class we did a test called the ICE. Its purpose is those students who already know everythign there is to know about the particular class they would be able to take that test and if they passed it would count as taking that class. We were just beta testing it as guinea pigs. The test won't actually become an official test for about two years. Its too bad though because I would have just been able to take that most likely and not have to take the class. But anyway it is 100 mulitple choice questions and we just did as many as we could yesterday. We will finish the rest of it on monday. I don't know if they will even give us our scores back though.. we did put our names on it and stuff so I'm pretty sure they will. Then after that class, instead of going to Convocation I went to ministry chapel instead. That was pretty good, I like ministry chapel better then Covnvocation most of the time anyway. I ended up sitting with Tori for that. During Chapel Jo Donneberg called me so once chapel was over I had to call her back. It turns out that Brittany and Allie were going to meet a friend here at Liberty and she was wondering if I could do her a favor and go with them so they wouldn't be alone. The only problem was I was going to have to take off work in order to do that. So I ended up giving Andy a call and he said it was fine since we've been so slow at work lately. So that meant I was able to do this little favor for Jo. I didn't mind helping her out though. Any chance I get to hang out with the girls I would gladly take if it works out. I was happy it did! So instead of rushing to lunch and work after chapel today I was able to relax for awhile and take care of some things I needed to do before I had to go and pick up the girls. I also had to stop by the bank on my way over to their house. After picking them up and bringing them back to campus we just walked around for awhile in the beautiful weather while we waited for Brittany's friend (its actually her step sister) to show up. After her arrival we decided to go and toss around the frisbee for a bit. Normally thats not my idea of a good time, just standing there and throwing aroudn the frisbee. But Fun is what you make of it so I ended up having fun anyway by just participating being with friends. We didn't play for too long though because it was kind of windy and frisbee and wind don't mix too well. So after we finished up we went to the Hangar and got some Smoothies and then sat around the fountain and relaxed for awhile. After Britt's Step sister (Cori) had to go we just headed back to thier house and hung out there for a bit. Then Allie, Jo, and I walked to the store to get some Chocolate for Smores later that night. So anyway we just kind of waited around the house talking until the Hartmans showed up. After thier arrival we all went outside and had a campfire and roasted marshmellows and made smores. Then Britt and Allie busted out thier guitars and played us some music and we sang for awhile. I played with the kids for awhile too but not as much as I normally would. They weren't all that playful yesterday for some reason. It was fine either way though. I enjoyed just sitting with them around the fire just as much as I would have with them tackling me to the ground. But it was a great time. Allie and Britt and I had plans to go see a 9:45 movie though, so unfortunatly the three of us had to leave early before the Hartmans left so we could get there in time. We expected it to be packed on a friday night. But when we got there we were suprised because there weren't that many people afterall. But then I remembered usually it is all the Liberty Students that pack out the place and most of them went home for the easter weekend. So it turns out the crowd wasn't all that big. So yeah... the movie we ended up going to see was "Miracle" I thought it was a good story over all. But I've heard a lot of things about it and how great of a movie it is.. I didn't think it was worth all the hype though. I mean it was good. But not that good. It was too much hockey not enough story in my opinion I think. But it's still worth seeing I think though. After the movie was over it was pretty late so I just had to go and drop the girls back off at home and rush back to campus so I could make it back in time before curfew. I made it back with 10minutes to spare so it was all good. I was able to park close to my dorm though too, If I would have had to park on the other end of campus like normal I would have been late. But needless to say because of my post last night. I was very very very tired. I was seeing double.. it looked like I had two comptuer screens. Despite the tiredness I was able to complete one of my homework assignments. But that was all I could do.. I just had to go to sleep after that. And when I hit that pillow.. I don't even remember rolling over I was out like a light. So there it is.. that was my day! It was a blast! I'll be back to write more tonight for todays events. Meanwhile.. Live long and Prosper!
