well, i just survived my second week of micro and my first test in it. the test was ok, i just hope she grades on a curve :) things are starting to get hectic. i'm just now understanding how much work im gonna have in my 2 classes, ugh!!!!! plus im working anywhere between 27-35 hours a week at work, which is good for the money, but bad when you work til 11pm and have a class at 8 am. plus all the homework i have to get done when im not in class or working. its a very daunting task. but, only 6 more weeks of classes then im done for the summer. well, im off to work.

Song

I was sitting in church today, and we were sing the song "The Love of God". I've sung this song hundreds of times and yet i never notice this verse

"Could we with ink the ocean fill,And were the skies of parchment made,Were every stalk on earth a quill,And every man a scribe by trade,To write the love of God above,Would drain the ocean dry.Nor could the scroll contain the whole,Though stretched from sky to sky."

I love this verse. It provides such an amazing mental picture. It is also the perfect description of what our love for God should look like.

On another note, i'm kind of mad at myself because this is one of the few sundays that i don't have to work, and i slept through my alarm. thus i didn't get to go to trinity, but instead had to go to dekalb. The dekalb church isn't a bad church, it just really isn't my style. But oh well. Another sunday perhaps.

Summer is over for me

Well, my summer vacation is over for me, as of monday i will begin 2 summer classes, plus working close to 30 hours a week. Will i have any life? NOPE. NOt that i have one here anyways since i don't know anyone, but that is besides the point. my last weekend of freedom before school again. Sigh.
I'm happy cuz i just got done talking with my grandparents. They are in Peru right now, and i haven't talked to them since the left 2 weeks ago. they are in peru for another 4 weeks. after they get back we head to florida for a week, which im really excited about. i haven't seen my family down there in close to 2 years.

Stuff

So, i found out yesterday that my transcript never got sent to the community college that i plan on taking a class at this summer. I had to drive out to it (a 30 min. drive) and show them my report card so that i could at least get registered for the class, and i would have my official transcript sent later. i was not a happy camper when i found out my transcript had never arrived. but oh well, everything worked out ok, it was just kind of frustrating.
my family is going away for the weekend, and they leave tomorrow so i will have the house to myself for 5 days (HURRAY!!!!). even though they will be gone, i still have a crazy busy work schedule. i work today-sat, and monday which= lots of late nights and sleeping til 11 or 12 :)

My Summer thus far

So my summer has been kind of hectic, most of it has been spent as a chauffer for my family. My mom is on medication that doesn't allow her to drive, so i have to drive her to the hospital and the doctors office, plus getting my brothers from school, and now my step dad threw his back out so i had to drive him to the hospital last night. GRRR! i want to be in control of my own life sometimes. But enough ranting for now.
I just order my books for microbiology (cringe). Why are textbooks so EXPENSIVE?????? explain this concept for me. at least i will be able to sell it once i'm done with it, a very small consolation to say the least.
I get to work again tonight, its not too bad cuz i get money, but it still isn't fun.
I can't wait for school to start, i just want to get it over with. part of my impatience stems from the fact that i don't have any friends by my house, they are all in vermont or farther away in the state of illinois, indiana, and michigan. that, and in the fall i get to see one of my friends from a trip that we went on to mexico. its very exciting. i can't wait for summer to be over.

1st post

Well, i am officially a nursing student now after having changed my major a million times (sigh). i will start taking microbiology in a few weeks (ugh) but it will be worth it i suppose.
my computer is being moronic, so i have to take it to the geek squad to get it fixed (major sigh). i just wish it would work like any other normal computer.
im excited cuz i get to see pirates 3 for the second time, i am taking my brother to see it, even though i saw it on thursday.
