Midnight Hours

Okay, so it's 2:30am. I slept for about 3 hours tonight. I got home from church at 8pm, from the drama practice, and now I'm up and wide awake. Tomorrow morning, I have a busy day. I have to go up to Indiana tomorrow morning, and plus I have a ton of homework that I still have to get done. Tuesday is my first day of job training with the dining services here on campus, which makes me happy because I don't have to leave Campus anymore when I work, and I don't have to worry about the bank being closed because my paychecks are through direct deposit. The whole week is going to be busy, but I am still enjoying myself in college. So I am actually going to try and go back to bed, that way I can be up and go have breakfast tomorrow morning, with a tiny lick of sanity.

I've finally reached "Eventually"

I'm sorry it took me so long to write on my blog. It was almost a month ago, from my last post. I don't really have a good enough excuse. I waste my time with other things, but that's okay I guess. When you're in college, your life is occupied with everything from church to your social life and everything that can fit in that very wide spectrum. I've made a lot of new friends this semester, and today was just a great day for me. We had the Seminary's Fall Kick Off today, and I went to it, expecting it to be perfect outside, only to be disappointed with the light drizzle that has become the opening week of September. It's not a bad tradeoff considering that there are 3 hurricanes lurking around my home state of Florida. I talked to my parents and told them that they should come to Louisville if the situation calls for it. It's a great move, because if there is a Category 4 or 5 hurricane aimed to hit West Palm Beach, chances are, our house won't be around for it. (Pretty scary thought).

School has become a week of savage beatings, one right after another. Especially on Thursdays, it is the busiest day of the week for me. I am working on different projects, and doing different activities with my church. Valley View Church has a drama ministry with its Middle/High School students, that I am teaching on Sunday nights. So I am happy that I'll be over at the church this coming weekend. In addition to this, I am planning a mission trip with my hypothetical youth group to Greece. The binder for this particular class project is about 3 inches thick worth of materials that have to go into it. It has 12 sections, and I'm only on the 3rd one. Everything up to the third section, is due the first week of October for my mid-term. I'm having a lot of fun with that, I mean come on, how many people can write letters to a minsitry organization in Greece that's on Thessalonica. Knowing that the Apostle Paul wrote one of his famous letters to the church there, and I can say myself that I've written a letter to the same place. That's really cool to me.

I am also trying to keep up with some pleasure reading as well as my major, endless reading for school; the TWILIGHT series. I'm a Harry Potter junkie so hearing books along the same line as the Wizarding world sparks my interest. It's the story of a girl who falls in love with a vampire. I know, the first thought you will have is a cheesy romance novel. NOT SO!!!!!!!! It's awesome! If its being made into a movie, which it is, in November. I suppose that's why the 6th Harry Potter movie has been moved back to July of 2009. I hated hearing that! It should have been out in November.

My blog is supposed to be about my ministry experiences in Japan, but as of right now, I am still waiting to hear back from the IMB, so there really isn't anything to tell. I am going out tomorrow night for my friend Gus' birthday. I'll tell you about that tomorrow!

School back in swing

It's a Thursday afternoon, do you know where your teachers are?
Well, today is actually a faculty staff day, so I am fortunately not in class, where I should be right about now. But I am enjoying the fact that I don't have to be there. But I still have homework, nonetheless. It's crazy! School's already a week in. I was back home 2 weeks ago, that's the crazy part. I was leaving to come here. That's what boggles my mind.

I'll write again eventually.

City Nights

Tonight had to be one of the most enjoyable for me. I was walking with a group of friends in downtown Louisville on the Waterfront. It is absoultely amazing at night because the view of the city is fantastic. I've missed that. I grew up near one of the biggest cities in the world, and now I find myself longing for that life over and over and over again. It's another indication of what is inevitably to come in my life, moving to Tokyo. I have the persona of a city slicker, and I am very proud of it. Seeing bright lights of a city is a relaxing image to me.

I am back in my dorm and thinking to myself how overwhelming things are going to be this semester. But then I stopped and realized how much faith I have that God will see me through. God has held my hand these past 2 years of school, and I don't think that he is going to stop anytime soon. That is why he is God. He is behind me in everything I do, and he stands by me when I am falling, when I am no good. That's what makes him the amazing father that he is. He is the daddy that picks us up and puts us on his shoulders when we can no longer stand. I am leaning on that knowledge, so I can face this semester without fear.

Start All Over

Well here I am. I am back in Louisville, KY, and am about to start my junior year at Boyce College. I have a full week of vacation pretty much since nobody is here yet. There are only a handful of people that are actually on campus. Most of them are student leaders, but I had to be here because of the emergency situation. My family is going to be in Israel on business until the end of August. But I am here, and I will be enjoying every minute of this. I'm sorry this can't be longer, but I have to finish getting dressed. I am going out with some friends for his birthday today. I will write again later.

The Beginning of the End...

Okay, I know that the blog subject has a clearly depressing title, so I will quickly explain that. I am leaving to return to Louisville 1 week from this Thursday (the 31st). The reason being my family is going over to Israel on business, and school starts on August 11th. Normally we would go up the weekend before that Monday so as to get acclimated to school, but unfortunately, that process has to be incredibly rushed. I wish it didn't have to be, but the truth is, I really can't take any more of this sunshine. It makes me sick!!!!!!!!

I want to be in a different climate again. I want the cold, I want the seasons, I want my freedom back. This is why that I've decided to come home for shorter periods of time from now on. I am only coming home this coming Christmas for 2 weeks. I am planning on taking a D-Term class for a week, so I can knock out a class and get it over with. HECK YEAH.

Remember how I wrote that I was reading books? Well this was long before I started working, and the second that happened, I suddenly lost all desire to read. It's sad, but the truth is I just don't have much free time as I did before. So maybe once school starts back up, that won't be too much of an issue to read again.

Until July 31st then...
PEACE!

The News for July

There has been so much swirling around in my mind. I have been so busy with work, things have been a little crazy in my life. I am getting myself prepared for the return to Louisville, which is in exactly 25 days. I will begin my junior year at Boyce on August 11th. It's scary to think that I only have 2 more years to go. I wish it could be longer, so I will have to make the most of the time that I have. Florida is nice, but I really need to consider shortening my stays back home in West Palm Beach. I am planning on coming home for Christmas, but only for 2 weeks, that way I can get back up to school and work, and be in Louisville. Anyway, I am enjoying my weekend off. PEACE!
