Yeah, So my hair is getting a little poofy. I have gotten so really genuine compliments, and I have gotten a lot of “you need to cut your hair.” Also, I didn’t realize how slow my facial hair grows. Maybe the cold air is inhibiting its growth.

My one consolation is that if I am unable to apply, then some one more deserving will get the scholarship and everything.

Decisions catching up to me. Stupid me.

ugh....

My Spanish minor may be costing me $50,000.

Powdery snow is just the best.

I love being able to experience all of these new creations God has put on the earth.

Are relationships treated as games?

I don’t know… I never got the whole deliberate flirting/making-a-move thing. (btw, this isn’t in reference to any of my own relationships, don’t worry people who feel they should be privy to such things) I just think it makes it easier when friendships turn into ‘relationships’ with out making things more complicated. I am sure I am coming from a naive perspective. I seem to be decent at knowing when a relationship shouldn’t happen, but not so much for when it should. (Don’t worry, I’m not on the prowl) Well since it isn’t about me, or any one in particular, I won’t start worry about it. I’ll walk that path when I come to it. Or maybe I’ll run it. Or tread. Skip?

You should pray

in particular for a buddy of mine who is not doing well. He has been pretty ill with puking since before school started and now a cold.

A plus would be some revelation from God. It is always beneficial.

I don't only want to live in the light, I want to reflect the light

like that one city on that sunny hill

12 hours of sleep!!

Is this because I am still sick? It better have been needed cause now I have homework to do in 4 hours less time than expected!! Arg

Riiiing!!!

This has been my right ear since Thursday night. But I don’t mind too much. Ignore my occasional complaints because it really is a reminder of God taking away the pain in my ear that was causing me to fall to the floor in pain. It is a reminder of his faithfulness and love towards me.

Now if this persisted for over a month I may ask God to keep the pain away AND take the ringing away, but until then, thanks for relieving me of my pain so I may function and please help me to function in a way that pleases you.

Really lost all motivation for school

I just want to go back home and see everybody. And then sleep all day. And do stuff.

This week

Sunday: Beginning of soar throat
Monday: fever, headache, chills, loss of appetite, hurts to swallow, napping
Tuesday: fever gone, Rest, rest,
Wednesday: Soar throat, beginning of coughing
Thursday: Soar throat, occasional coughing, congested, squeaky voice, about an hour of grimacing ear pain [thank you God for taking it away!! I took a hot shower and some drugs. For awhile I was sitting in the tub, randomly shouting when the pain would peak, and adding a little salt to the shower water. It finally subsided. It was just ringing for awhile, but I think is now gone. (I found out when I will randomly hear a high pitch and then it just fades away, that is me losing the ability to hear that pitch for the rest of my life!!!! SO SAD!!!)]

Overall, a good week. I feel bad for being a bit antisocial. Especially distracted when I was in pain. Not very good company at those time. I learned that pain takes away appetite. =( sad story when on a meal plan.

This cough prohibits deep breathing =/

It is so hard to get out of bed when the bed is so warm and the room so cold.

That is why God made bathrobes.

bleh

I hate soar throats

AHHHHH!!!! CRAZZZZZZZZZZZY

I REALLY want to do something like these. So hilarious!

SNOOOOOOWWWOWOWOWOWOAHH!!!

I love the snow!! Thank you Jesus!! I nearly slipped and died like 5 times.

noneofthatchavvyrubbish:

Life is busy.

Yeah, I said it.

I’ve come to a realization that it will never Not be busy.  

a busy life => time goes by faster

faster time => sooner death

death => Jesus

thus, a busy life CAN bring me closer to Jesus.

PBI=Principals of Biblical Interpretation 

NT=New Testament

Spa=Spanish

Second Quad PBI will turn into  Comp 2, and New Testament will be Personal Responsibility. Relationships and Linear Algebra are 3 credit classes, so I think they end half a quad early, which will make the last few weeks a bit easy so I can prepare for finals! Add in 8-10 hours of work (and maybe a little Track) and that will be next semester! Woot.

Just 'cause it is good, doesn't mean there isn't better.

I kinda look Jewish when I wear this, especially since most people are from a view lower than me, and so it looks even more like a yarmulke (yamaka). The plus of this, aside from people asking me if I am Jewish, is that I just got asked to play a small role of a Jewish financier in some student film! Fun!!!

Thank you Lord for putting me here at Northwestern. Continue to challenge me. Thank you for the awesome guys here. Thanks for ‘coincidently’ having me go to that prayer meeting/study thing that one night.

ripped my nicest pair of jeans. Lost most of my appetite. Sad.

Lord, make me a better person.

I want to have the heart of David, one after your own heart. A heart for all people.

Today

I used up so much time catching up on One Piece, while slowly multi-tasking and planning out next semester and kinda the rest of my whole core-curriculum classes. I find planning so enjoyable. It is kinda like finding the fastest point from A to B and then having satisfaction that I’m not going to be using up more time than necessary.

I really felt like just staying alone earlier today and not being social. Well it wasn’t as much as the being social part, just the putting in of effort to have a fun time. A friend who is super busy wanted to do something fun tonight and I felt like I had pressure placed on me to make her night good and not just another study night. So I almost completely blew it off but realized that wouldn’t be good. I ended up having a great night and didn’t have to work hard or anything, things just fell into place. Great night with lots of friends.

But Lord, I feel so lost sometimes. I may have my classes planned out, but where do sports and work and church and clubs and ministry fall into this?! What am I going to put my time into!!? Help me Lord. Help me put more time into you (and sleep).

Is today's image pulsating, or is it just me?

The x-ray one

Today is a 25-hour day!!! Sweet!!

but that means there will eventually be a 23 hour day…. sad story!!

How do I deal with this?

I have never loved/enjoyed any team so much. Now, maybe this is dramatic, but would this be similar to people who have their first relationship and then they have trouble letting go, because they don’t know if it will ever happen again? I missed the last meet today because of stuff and it made me pretty sad. This is pretty much the end of the XC season, and I do and don’t want the end. It is a lot more bitter than sweet. What is a few extra hours of sleep everyday in comparison to time with amazing people? Now some of these feelings are probably due to the subconscious thought that these relationships will die w/ XC. It sounds like I need a dozen donuts. haha, jk, but really, I would love to eat some Krispy Kremes right now. (I hope that I really don’t link Krispy Kremes with anti-depression/happiness) Anyways, I need to pray for comfort and direction. All changes are opportunities to grow, opportunities to grow closer to God. Along with this, I need to determine if I want/should do track and then XC. Prayer, prayer.

Why can't everybody just have integrity?
