My life the next 2 weeks...

Today is a somewhat of a dreary day. Overcast and windy with a few drops of rain here and there occasionally. I plan on doing homework all day so that I won't have anything to do this week since I have an ungodly amount of softball games to play. Here, let me show you...On Tuesday we are leaving at 5:30AM to play two games up in Northland, then we come back that night. On Wednesday, we play two home games at 4 and 6. We have practice on Thursday and then on Friday we travel to Duluth to play two games at 10 and 12. We stay overnight in Duluth and then play 2 more games at 2 and 4 on Saturday. Now, if your not exhausted by just reading that than there is something wrong with ya... I am pretty much going to be so dead that brushing my teeth will require 2 hours of preparation in building up energy. Oh ya, and then next week...is Finals. Great. However, after that...I am going home! Never to return to this college for anything school related. That's right! I am transferring. I decided being a teacher is definitely not for me. Somehow I thought it was at one point but I have come to realize that I would literally go crazy if I became a teacher and had to deal with kids all day everyday for the rest of my life. Therefore, I decided to change my major (and my school). I have decided to go into Natural Resources! Something I have always loved. I have not narrowed down the exact school quite yet but it is going to have to happen very soon. I am so excited to begin this new journey in my life! I am pretty much going to be starting college all over again. However, this time I have decided to go my own way and not follow other people just so that I will be comfortable. I feel that God is calling me to this field of study and I am going to follow that calling. I am not quite sure what He is going to have me do with this major but whatever it is I want to glorify Him through it!

Hammer Time!

Well, it has been a very long time since I have updated my blog...my sincere apologies for that. I tend to slack off during the summer and this school year has crazy, so no time for bloggy blog! However, today I found a little tid bit of time since my softball game was cancelled. Today is going to be a homework day for me pretty much because I have nothing better to do...But, I do have a little buddy to keep me company! His name is Hammer! He is a little poodle mix mutt dog that I am taking care of for one of my friends. He is very sweet and well trained, isn't really too fond of men but he does ok, lol. He's just chilling with me while I do homework. BEST COMPANY EVER!! Anyway, hopefully I can keep doing this more regularly! TTFN!

Another success!

So, today I had my New Testament History final. Pretty sure I killed it! As far as I know, I only got one wrong! I'm totally stoked dude! So, that was a good start to my day. After I finished that I went back to my room to do some hard core packing. I accomplished a lot there too! I completely emptied out my desk and shelving unit, and I have pretty much all my clothes packed too! The last thing I will need to do is my bedding and toiletries. Woot woot! Tomorrow, Wisconsin gets her Moonchild back!

Plop, plop, fizz, fizz...oh what a relief it is!

Anyone know what product that slogan is for??

Well, I used it because I am so relieved! My hardest final is over, and I owned it! I knew what every single question was talking about. Thank you, to all who prayed for me, I know that it helped.

Well, for the rest of the day I am going to get as much packed as I possibly can. It won't be much fun but is something that must be done(hey! that rhymed!).

By the way, if you guess what that slogan is for you get the cool factor for the day. If I stumped you, I will give the answer tomorrow. No cheating, like search engines and stuff!

Let's go stick ourself to a wall...

If you don't know what finals is all about...here's the low-down. You stay up 'til ungodly hours of the night wishing you had a sponge for a brain. You eat everything in reach so you better buy some healthy stuff beforehand. You stare at terms and explanations until everything looks like this: asod;fihweio;afhe;oihaef;oeihfa;osd, and you pretty much wish you were not smart so that it would be amazing if you got a C-.

Well, today was the first day of finals for me. I had two: Western Civilization from 1715 and Speech. Western Civ. was at 1:00 so luckily I got some sleep. My speech final was online so I was able to take it whenever I wanted today. I ended up taking it at about 2:30.

Most people lock themselves in their room during this time, so in order to get us out to see sunlight our activities board here at school plans activities called study breaks. Today, our study break consisted of inflatables set up in our gym. I went with Amy and Elie at 3:30. We had so much fun bouncing around through the obstacle course and sticking ourselves to the velcro wall in our velcro suits. We decided not to do the one with the big sticks with marshmellow looking things on the ends because we didn't feel like putting our heads into helmets dripping with 500 other people's sweat. We just weren't diggin' it. However, we had tons of fun watching other people do it!

Tomorrow I only have one final but it is my hardest, Gospel of John. If you think of me tomorrow around 8:00am to 9:30am you can totally pray for me, that would be very much appreciated. Well, off to stuDYING!

Living Rock

Well, today was my last Sunday at Living Rock Church. I have grown to love this church very much. The congregation is very welcoming, the Pastor is amazing and I completely understand him, the music is incredible, and I have been involved with the Children's ministry. I have gotten to know people there and always enjoy going, even when I have to go to the early service in order to help with the kids during the second service. I would like to thank everyone who helped me grow as a person and have shown me God's love at Living Rock.

Leslie's Hope

Today, I had the honor of walking in the memory of Amy's mom, Leslie. It was a 5 mile marathon for Cystic Fibrosis, around Lake Calhoun. Amy, Lovina, and I met Amy's dad and sister at K-mart and drove to Lake Calhoun. Many of their family and friends were there and we all were wearing our blue shirts that said "Leslie's Hope" on them. I have never done any kind of marathon before and I thought it was really cool. After finishing the walk we decided to go eat at Chipotle, a very sufficient reward, I thought. It has been a good first half of the day...now on to studying.
