Ok so this week has been blah. Homework up the wa-zoo and Friday through Sunday I have to go to the coast... I'm going to go to the Vineyard at the coast though. Um, won't be back Sunday unless I HAVE to be... :(

Um, yeah... I have lots of homework to do... So off I go. Again, oh joy...

"The lights are burning into the retinas of my soul."

I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY AND PRAISING GOD RIGHT NOW! I JUST GOT ON THE TRIP, FOR SURE, TO PARIS - BERLIN!!!!!!!!! Next May I'm going to Paris!!! I could just about cry right now! I am now in fund raising mode... :-D

Ok so it only FEELS like 5:50 in the morning...

After being up for 15 hours I'm ready to hit the sack, I'm more than a little sleep deprived, as is the life of a college student, I'm actually TIRED, but I want Europe so much, that I'm willing to stay up all night for it. I've been spending time doing homework, will soon read my Bible (as it's not in the car anymore), and will probably play some computer games before too long. I've already had more eggs than I can handle tonight, one om-let and about half an egg scrambled, way too much for me, poor poor potential yet unfertile future chickens...

I'm in the process of downing a can of caffeine, another one, and have one left to get me through at least my class tomorrow. I am SO coming back and going to sleep after I go to class. Then I have to take pictures of the LAN party in the evening and tomorrow morn/afternoon I have to snag pics of sports before coming home to get camera batteries which are suppose to be waiting for me.

I went to the store today to buy a journal (ringbound, ha ha ha) and totally forgot! I got eggs and cheese and ketchup, but forgot the journal, what a complete nerd...

On another note, I found what LOOKS like a piece of mouse poop on my floor... I doubt that's what it is because mice usually leave more than one piece of poop in one place at a time and there's only one piece but it's still kind of un-nerving as I don't like mice running free in my bedroom.

My body hurts, I have a knot in my neck the size of a big knot in my neck. I promise it's not a tumor, it's just a big knot! It's gone down significantly since this morning but then again I did get hurt otherwise today so it may just be my brain.

As I sit and wait for my self imposed all nighter to end, so I can sign up for Juniors Abroad without camping outside for it as I don't want to, due to allergies and it's freaking cold out, I took some quizzes... Not inspired by anyone though they're the same as other people's, just bored. BTW: Pray that I get to go on the trip, pray that I can raise the money, and pray that I don't pass out like I already almost did today.

You Raise Me Up

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up...
To more than I can be

I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT!!! I got accepted into the "Global Awareness House" for next year!!! Ok so it's not a HOUSE this year but it's an apartment complex that I WANTED to live in!!!! YAY!!! Newlin 4, I am SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!

After seeing Passion on Sunday I came to realize something.

It's not so much the physical pain and things that I didn't ever fully understand about Jesus' life... Yeah ok so I had no VISUAL idea of what it was like to be flogged and ridiculed like [H]e was but it was more the humanness of [H]is life.

I mean, the scene that will forever stick with me is the one where young Jesus falls down and Mary comes running to her son to pick him up and be a comfort to him. Which, when you think about it, is not something for me to NOT be a/effected by. And despite Catholic undertones, which were beautifully done, I like the movie even though I'm not Catholic.
