Ok people.. I just seem to be missing out on blogs a lot lately. Normally I would sacrifice a little bit of sleep and still try and blog something even when its late.. but I think I have to draw the line at 3:00am. I wasn't going to even attempt to write a blog last night with it being that late. Quite a bit of stuff happend yesterday though that I think I still need to go over for you guys. Ok well first things first. I found out I got a 78 on my Accounting test and an 86 on my statisics test. So for all those that were praying for me, thanks a bunch. I wish I could have at least pulled a B for accounting but considering the difficulty of the class I am content with that score. Ok so anyway I had my first class yesterday and it got out a little bit early. It was a good thing because I had to rush over to the doctors office right after that class. I needed to get an Aviation Physical to make sure I was fit to fly and be a pilot in command and such for whenever I'm ready to do that. I ended up being there for almost two hours.. I was hoping it wouldn't take longer then an hour or so.. I only had an hour and a half block before my next class. I ended up having to skip my next class in order to get everythign done over at the doctors. But it turns out I was in good health and they gave me a "No limitations permit". The test was kind of interesting though, I've never had a physcial before. Turns out I have 20/20 vision so thats a good thing. My blood pressure was lower then normal though but still no problem there. I did find out however that I am color blind. People seem to have told me that before, but now its written in my records. I apparently have trouble seeing some shades of reds and greens. Here is a link to a website showing examples of these tests Color Tests. What is really weird though is that these tests shown on this website I can see just fine. I wonder if my eyes are trained to work well on the computer screen but not in real pictures or something.. these are only six of the tests I took though.. at the doctors they had about 15 of these pictures I had to go through. So anyway.. the whole process for the physical took about 30 minutes.. but I was there for like an hour waiting for my turn and then for the paper work processing. But I did get out of there about 20 minutes after my class had already started. Instead I just skipped that class and headed right to the airport to get some flying in before I had to go to work. Flying yesterday was kind of fun.. I did some touch and go's (land and then take off a bunch of times) but we also did some steep turns and turning stalls and stuff like that. Eventually I ended up throwing up. It was not a good thing at all... the instuctor didn't really mind though, he told me that he used to do that while he was training and he even threw up once while he was instructing a student one time. So apparently its a fairly normal thing. In normal flight I wouldn't be doing spinning stalls and landing and taking off a bunch of times in a few minutes. On the bright side though... after I threw up and emptied out my system (good thing I didn't eat lunch before going) I felt much better and was able to get myself back without a problem. I even was able to find the airport this time rather then him just telling me where to go and only seeing it right before we landed. I feel like I am learning things much better now but that throwing up kind of ruined my day a little bit. I always feel really bad and tired and sick for the remainder of the time after I get sick like that. I had to go straight to work after leaving the airport though. Work was pretty difficult yesterday with how I felt... but I pulled through and made it. I ended up staying after work for another hour and a half or so to work on some stuff. After leavign work I ended up going right over to the Donnebergs house and I hung out there for almost the rest of the night. I needed to take care of a few things with their computers and I also wanted to spend a little time with them before they left on a short trip. I ended up talking to Jo until around 11:30 or so last night and then I had to hurry back to campus to make it before curfew. But I had a good time talking to her and it was nice to think through some stuff with her help. Anyway after getting back to campus I took care of a few dormkeeping items and then I wanted to have my devotions before I started doing any homework. But I ended up not getting any homework done at all. For the past few weeks whenver I do my devotions it all seems to be very surfacy and the only things I've ever been getting from it was whatever words were on the page and recently thats been nothing significant. I've been truly seeking him and desiring a word from God lately and I have got nothing so far. So finally last night I told God I was just going to read and listen and pray and I wasn't going to give up until he gave me something, an answer, some insight, some direction. I was willing to take anything.. but I seriously read for almost three hours, (mixed prayer, silence, reading) and I got absolutly nothing from him. Finally I just couldn't take it anymore and I just got agitated and upset. I knew I had homework to still do but it was too late for that and I coudn't stay awake any longer.. I just had to give up and I ended up just going to bed angry and even crying some. That was pretty bad and I just didn't understand it. I had a rough day/week as it was and that just kind of pushed things over the top. I hated that soo much.
