G is for Goodness..
2008-08-22 11:17:55
My Tuesday/Thursday classes exhaust me. And I've only been to one day of them! It's not exactly the classes (I can handle the work), but it's the walking to and from each class! It's like a 15 minute walk to each class, and then a 30 minute walk back to my car, not to mention a 30 minute walk to the dorm room. Bah. I need in better shape. :|
Moving on... I love all my classes, although I think that I'm going to enjoy my World Lit class the best. Lots of good classic literature on the syllabus, and I'm looking forward to reading them all. :)
Least favorite? Probably American Studies of the 60's. Too much reading for my taste (150+ Pages due Tuesday), and the guy has the world's worst combover imaginable!
Weather has been dismal around here lately. It's hot as heck, and cool fronts keep coming through, so I'm stuck in the rain running to classes! Humidity is like adding gravity to my back. >_<
At least Monday Wednesday and Friday classes are easy enough. I only have two classes (World Lit and College Algebra), and I have about a three hour block I can spend inbetween them doing homework and crap in the library. It's really nice in there too, so I may be living there for quite a while...
I've only been in college for three days now, and I'm exhasted! Mostly physical exhaustion, mind you (the coursework isn't so bad right now, and the syllabuses look pretty simple), so I'm going to have to get to bed a lot earlier from now on.
Bah. I want headphones. >_<

B is for Banner
2008-08-20 12:25:51
Seriously, the banners so far are sucking up the place. There have been some really pretty ones, and I love the logo, but we need to step it up a notch or two.
College is going well. Today is my first day of classes, and I love my math professor. She's such a sweet lady, and I just wanted to go up and hug her to death. I hate math with a passion, but I think that I might just end up liking this one. :)
I have World Lit in about two hours, so I'd thought I would kill some time here in my journal.
I'm seriously considering moving back home, because I miss my privacy all the time. My room-mate is extremely shy, and actually stays in our room 24/7. He's driving me slightly insane! I miss being about to cry into my pillow when I'm angry. I miss doing things on my laptop without needed headphones. I miss my lumpy couch. :|
I live 15 minutes away, and I'd save a ton of money on food. :O
I dunno though. It all depends on how my mother reacts. I'm sure she's ready to have me home at the drop of a hat, but I want to string her a long a little, just for giggles. :)
Plus, I think it's what God wants me to do. I think that college life is full of temptations that I don't need in my life. I've been invited to three kegers already, and probably get some week at the drop of a hat. :O Also, I think that my family needs me now. My sister is heartbroken, and my mother is really missing me. I didn't know how valuable I really was to them until I left. Also, I guess that I kind of miss them too. I miss being myself.
Speaking of God, I have had all my prayers answered by Him lately. It's so conforting to have everything just fall into place for once. I have a WONDERFUL group of friends now, although they are a tad insane. I have everything I could ever ask for and more. God has really helped me out of a pit that was my life. :) Actually, He's always been there, just waiting for the magic words.. "Please help me".
Bah. I know that it's not exactly popular to be a Christian these days. A lot of people think that we're mean, self-centered people bent on changing the world for the better. Well, that's sort of true I guess. We know the beauty of having God as our Father, and we want to share that beauty with everyone around us. Some are a LOT more pushy than others (For example, I don't talk about God unless somebody is ready and willing to hear about Him), and some condemn others to Hell. Let me tell you right now. The ones that say "you're going to Hell" are breaking a Chrisitan moral code. We are not meant to judge, and we have no right to judge. Only the Father has the final say in ANYTHING.
Ugh! I digres. I went spouting off again..
Anywhoo, I have algebra homework to get to, so I'll be off now.

C is for College
2008-08-19 14:46:45
I haven't even been here a full week, and my dorm's internet is already down. Apparently, too many people tried to connect all at once (classes start tomorrow, so people were looking for something to do), and it blew up. So I'm in the library here, and it's GORGEOUS. I'll probably be living in this library from now on. It's quiet, it's beautiful, and has good lighting and power outlets. Yay. :)
Let's see here... College life so far has been a mixture of boredom and total happiness. I love being away from my family, which has lowered my stress values dramtically (which I'm greatful for, because I'm sure that once classes start, then the values will go back up). I room is beautiful after some fung-sheiing, and my room-mate is a nice guy, but he's a bit shy. However, his friend is a firecracker, and has already gone to a toga party and gotten wasted. :| Oh, and his girlfriend is nice too, but I can't help but feel like they'd like to be alone more. Basically, I'm in bed reading or typing something by 10 o'clock, but they hang out in the room together until about midnight or after. It's kind of annoying for me, because I'd like to get some early sleep (I've had to wake up early both today and yesterday), but I get over it, because I can get some good reading time.
It's so nice having freedom. :)
Oh, and I'm hacked off because their anime club here got disbanded over the summer. :( -
D is for Done
2008-08-16 21:59:16
I finished moving in today. :)
I love my dorm room. My roommate is also really nice too. :)
It's really cold though. O_o
Like I'm looking at the thermostat and it's like 65. O__O

M is for Move

Yes! The day hath finally arrived! Today is MOVING DAY!
*applause from audience*
I've already loaded my junk into my car and I'm heading out here in about an hour off to the wonderful world of college life. :) I was geniunely surprised that it all fit in there. O_o
Anyway! I'll hopefully have everything done by about noon-1.
@Chii: Actually my boss forgot about an entire WEEK's worth of hours and chalked it up to me taking sick days (which I didn't, and I was there with the same said boss). And this happens on a regular basis too, mind you. O_o
____________________
Moving along. I'm (for some reason) geniunely nervous about moving into the dorms. I mean, I know my roommate is a nice guy (we've been talking for the past few months), I know I have the best dorm on campus (thank you glorious scholarship!), I know my room is a suite-style (none of those community showers, thank you very much!), and I know this is what I've wanted for like... EVER! So why am I nervous? I'm guessing just because it's the start of the next step of life for me. Independence and freedom. Good grief, I hope I don't go nuts. O_O
It seems so odd to have such a positive journal for once! I should complain about something.....

I'm hungry and there's no food here in my house. >:(
____________________________
College is going to be a new world for me. I know it is. Demi Lavato's words in "This is Me" really speaks to me. I plan on getting into better shape and losing some weight (I've really packed on some weight this summer! O_O). I plan on getting an education like none other. I plan on finding what I want with my life, and what God wants me to do with my life. Because in the end, it's all up to Him the way I live my life. I trust Him, and I know He won't let me down. ;)
Speaking of faith, I don't think I would ever get through a single day without it. O_o It's kind of like the little valve in me that runs everything in my life now. When i get angry, it holds back the angry words. When I'm sad, it turns on the happy juice. When I'm happy? Well, I think you get the idea. It just makes my life so much simpler and wonderful! Although there still are the really "sucky" days where I just want to punch a brick wall and leave a crater, and I had one just the other day. BAh!
_________________________
I'm kind of just writing a lot of stuff in here to pass the time until 9:30 rolls around, so please bear with me. XD
Sometimes I really question why exactly I like AMV's. What is it about them that draws me in? The simple answer is that I love music and anime, and the combination of the two complements each other. Then again, for some reason, I really do believe them to be a form of art, and I really appreciate art (just look at the Van Gogh prints in my room!) and literature. Maybe also because they are kind of like a book to me. They tell a story, in nice bite-size chunks. Videos like Shinodude's Ippo Blue Horizon Video or his Thanks for the Memories Beck Video, Amo-Chan's Ouran videos, Scob's Love Rush and Kizanzi's Love's Radience videos all just look like beautiful works of art that tells a story that I can really connect with and just love. Also, I cried when I saw any of those videos for the first time. Bah. I'm just a sensitive guy. :P
Another question I frequenly ask myself is "why do I post so much and why should I?" I have like nearly 5000 posts now (after two 1/2 years). Sometimes I just wonder why I bother. Usually people just either argue with me, call me an idiot or ignore me in the long run of things. I guess because I feel like what I have to say is important and relevant, and because I love online communities. I'm not an overly socialble person (AKA: I don't get out much to parties and junk), so the internet is a beautiful method of escape for me. I just passes time, I guess. I have this forum and another Christian forum that I frequent pretty frequently. Between the two, they make for an interesting night or afternoon.

Blech. I still have thirty minutes. MOAR TPYING!
Last night I really kind of felt bad. My little sister drew me a picture and made me a magnent for my fridge so I won't forget her. I was like :_( , cuz she never does anything sweet or nice like for me. She was crying and didn't want me to leave today. What just amazes me is that I like just 15 minutes away. It's not that far.
-_-
I'm still hungry. I'll have to run by McDonalds on my way to college. O_O
I pulled a muscle last night putting my heavy trunk in my car. It really hurts to breath or sneeze. Like really painful. O_o
Speaking of my car, it is really packed full. When I start pulling stuff out, I'm sure that it's going to be like one of those "clown car" moments. :D
"You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing, I gotta find you.. You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me! I need to find you! I gotta find you!" - Joe Jonas
I like that saying. It can be interpreted in two different manners. The romantic one that disney intended, but to me it looks like he's looking for God. Lol.. I can find Christian messages in anything. Except maybe Marilyn Manson songs... O_o
I use too many of these little faces. O_O O-o o_O :O XD :D :) ;) :(
I wonder if that's obnoxious or not....

I need to stop now. Enough writing. It's not like anybody actually spends time to read this kind of dribble. But if you do, I'm sorry my life is either boring or uninteresting. XD
Blah. /goes to search for food!
