Today has been a lazy day. I did not get out of bed till almost 10. (mom was not home to make me get out of bed). FOr majority of the morning, I lounged around and watched TV. I went to a wedding today. It was not too bad. A lot of people there. Some people I did not know, some people I reconized but forgot their names, and some people I knew from before. It took forever before the bride and groom got to the reception. I think it was almost an hour before they showed up.

Tonight, I talked with the best roommate of all times. I miss having her around. Next semester is gonna be hard, but I am thankful she is still in town. I am going to try to hang out with her a lot before I leave LU. She will always be my roommate. Everyone will be measured against her and no one can be like her. :)

Last night, I talked with that awesome guy friend again. He is a wonderful friend. I was giving him suggestions for gifts for his brother and sisters. :) Great fun.

It is hard to believe that it will be christmas in less than five days.

For all those at LU, I miss yall and I cant wait to see yall again. And for those that have graduated from LU this past semester or the one before that, I miss yall too. Hope to talk to you guys soon online.

Another day of Christmas break....another day of not a whole lot going on...

This morning, I helped a little decorating for a friend's wedding reception tomorrow. I am going to her wedding tomorrow. I told mom today that I do not plan to get married around Christmas time - its too much of a hassle. I said I would get married in either July or August. (Mom's response was...is this an 8 month advance warning). I do not plan to get married anytime soon. I am missing a key element to be able to get married. (hint...that element is the right guy) Anyways, I believe it is time to switch the topic at hand.

So what else did I end up doing today. I looked for some summer jobs here in california. Did not have much luck. I think it is a little bit to early to look, but i was bored and decided to check out this website my dad gave me. I baked some peanut butter cookies (my favorite) for a Sea Cadets Christmas party tomorrow (basically for my brother). I also watched the extended version of Fellowship of the Ring. I even got some very old puzzles (ones from when I was way little....like the 100 piece puzzles). I did some of those and then got bored of that. So I came upstairs to the computer and here I am now.

The agenda for me for tomorrow is going to be attending a wedding and a reception. That is all I have planned for tomorrow. I am hoping to go and see Return of the King this weekend sometime. I do not know who I am going to go with, but I do want to see it.

Um...

Last night, I had the wonderful opportunity to talk to an awesome guy friend. The topics we talked about were pretty random. Anywhere from what is more evil (boys or computers/girls or computers) to where we would like to visit/or live to how our mood/emotions affect our writing style. I really do enjoy having conversations with this guy. This guy will be a friend for a long time and will be someone I can talk to about anything.

thats it for tonight folks....night

Another day of vacation and another day in a row that I am blogging :)

Today did not consist of doing too much. I went to the dentist. My teeth are ok. This afternoon I went to a friends and talked with her for a while. I caught up with what is going on in her life. During the school year, we talk online a lot. AIM is a wonderful invention. I think I might have mentioned that earlier.

Lately, I have been saying that Texas is home. For instance, I would say "When I get home, I will have a room to myself." or "I go home on the 9th." As much as I do not like to say this, but Texas does seem like home. I have been leaving there ever since my freshmen year. Basically the only time I visit my parents is like Christmas time. The town changes soo much in the time I am gone that it seems like a different time. I guess I am moving into the world of adulthood. I am out in the world making a life for myself. I am not relying on my parents to provide for me. I am independent of the way they do things and the place they call home. I am living my own life. I completely enjoy it too. I would not trade my life for anything right now. I love it too much. I love my friends and I enjoy living on my own and I love the relationship that has been formed with my parents.

Also, I have been reading various books about Holocaust survivors. I really enjoy reading them because I learn so much from them. I learn how they survived being tormented and put into prison camps or gone into hiding. I often wonder what I would do if I was put in a situation like that. Would I be proud of my beliefs or heritage? Or would I try to change them so I would not die? I hope that I do not have to face a situation like that. But sometimes I want to just to see what I will do and maybe encourage others not to give up.

Oh, the good friend that was sick is somewhat better. Now he just has a sore throat. And my dad is feeling better. But my grandpa is gonna have to have heart surgery. Pray for him :)

I blogged two days in a row while I am at home...amazing isnt it :)

My dad is feeling better. Tomorrow he is probably going to go to work. I went to the doctors today. He examined my knee and said there was nothing terribly wrong with it. In other words, I do not have to have surgery on it. Yippee. He did say that I have a muscle that he thinks that gets strained when I run and do sports so he gave me medicine for it (anti-inflamatory).

It is stranged to be home. I have no really pressing things to do. Like no homework or work or meetings. This is very strange to me. However, I do need this break before I go back to school and try to tackle my crasy semester. I am going to try to take some classes here at the community college. I do not know if that will work out or not. Ill keep you all posted about that. I did go to the community college to talk about getting a syllubus for my spanish class and to talk about taking a class during this semester break. The guy looked at me like he had no idea what I was talking about. (which he probably didnt understand me).

My mom and I went to Wal Mart to pick up some things. After we had checked-out, I told mom that people here are different than in TX. In TX, the people seem to be more friendly. A Texan cashier will talk to you and ask about your day and if you have found everything all right. Here in california, the cashier talks to you like you have no idea what you are doing and they seem to be cold. I guess I am just used to that Texan friendliness. I do miss that here in california.

I also went to the library to check out some books. I need to read something besides text books. (bet you cant guess what type of books I picked up...history of course :P ). This library in town has nothing really, but I did find some. The point I want to make is noisey floors in a library is not cool. Isnt the point in a library - to be quiet. Also, this library fines people if you put a hold on a book and you do not pick it up. Strange isnt it. Oh, and they also have books to rent. You actually have to pay money that you do not get back to borrow a book. Even stranger. This library is screwed up if you ask me. And since I am on the topic of books, do you have any ideas of books for me to read while I am home. (if i can find those books). I welcome all suggestions.

It is strange not having a car and the independence I have at school. My brother does not like it when I drive his car. I miss my car. It is strange going from driving a truck to an older car. You should see me driving. The emergency brake in the car is not where it is supposed to be :) I also miss doing whatever I want whenever I want to. I also miss the randomness of campus life. This made me think of what those that do not go to college are missing out on. College is definately the best years of a person's life. (that is my opinion in my short life)

I think I am done rambling on for today. I do know I can go on and on. But if I did that. What will I post about the next time :)

Night Ya'll

School is over and I am at home. Since I last blogged, my roommate moved out and into her apartment. Her apartment is really big and I cant wait to see what her and her new roommates do to it. My room also looks different. It seems bigger and somewhat bare. I still have some things to do it before it is complete. I need to put some more posters up and move my computer. I bet you can guess what I will be doing when I return to school.

I have also have some of my final grades. In my opinion, I did really good. I received two A's, two B's and one C. I am happy with them. I received a 94 on my exegesis paper for Dr. H. I was really excited about that.

I flew home to cali yesterday. The trip was long like always. I had a non stop flight from DFW to PDX. That is almost a four hour flight. A long time for not eating anything besides a granola bar and some raisins. What happened to the inflight service. The service received on flights today is not like how it used to be. My bag did not show up with me on my last flight from PDX to MFR. The same thing happened to me last year. We waited for about 2.5 hours for the next flight. My bags did come on that flight. My dad things that this is possible because I switch airlines and on the new airline my bag is not that important. If this is true, that is not right of the airlines to do this. I seem to have a lot of problems flying domestic but not international. I do not know how this is possible. Oh, it is cheaper to fly into MFR or ACV. But it takes about two hours to get to either of those airports. So when bags do not show up, it makes things harder on those that have to travel to and from the airport for a couple hours.


I havent done much yet while I have been at home. I just have done some work on my law school application. I talked with a good friend last night. He is sick. Pray that he gets better. It is no fun to be sick. Oh, also my dad is sick too. Both of these wonderful gentlemen need to get better very quickly.
