Oooh, look! An update!! (with ulterior motives...hehehe...)

I want to chastise other people for not updating their blogs...but in order to do that, I must first provide an update. That is my secret motive...shhh...don't tell!

I've decided to skip details. Those are boring and take too much time. So college...it's way different from high school. My Senior year, I did hardly anything and got all A's. Not like that anymore. Anatomy takes at least 2 hours or more per day! And with my first exam on Tuesday, this weekend will really be Labor Day Weekend. I will adjust though.

Currently, I am working front desk and trying to pull together an observation paper for Engl 111. I have no idea where I'm going with it. So I'm just writing...maybe it will end up pulling itself together...it happens occasionally, OK!

To Linda, Christie, Amy, and other MRMC people - I will post pictures soon! I need to take some first. I'll give you a ring when they are up.

To catch you up with things, I'm doing a list. I write less in lists...

1. Freshman Orientation - Crazy long!! Lots of mini-speeches and promotions and tips on how not to screw up. Like it'll help. I've found that those who are going to succeed are already in the correct mind set and those who are doomed to failure...aren't paying attention. True words. But there was free food!

2. Speed Dating - During orientation, they had icebreakers which appeared completely elementary and retarded...'scavenger hunt' and 'ropes course'...but in the end were enjoyable. Speed dating was the most exciting. Since it was new and I enjoy analyzing people, it was hard for me to stay focused on the girl in front of me instead of those around me. Very challenging. There were some girls who were cool. I asked questions, they asked questions. And then there were some who had the following idea: "OK, so, like, I'm the girl, he's the guy, and, like, he asks all the questions, and I answer them." So I was constantly having to pull questions out of...we'll wherever those questions came from. So we shuffled through about 15 people or so and then put checks by the ones who we would go out on a date with. I checked four. Then they announced some of the matches. The first match was...me and the first girl I meet, Ginger. We got $10 cash...like $10 will go further than Taco Bell. But money is money! She took the cash (as women normally do) and I gave her my email. Someday sometime somewhere we'll go do something.

3. Books - I felt bad for my parents...I spent over $400 for textbooks! Augh! Science books took up about 2/3 or more of that amount. The only one I really like is my English textbook...as usual.

4. Work - I have a job at desk...cushy job. YES! And I'm going to be a TA (teacher's assistant) in a couple photo labs. I'm cool like that.

6. Cell Phone!! - I've had my phone for about 2 weeks or so now. It's the best thing ever! If any of you don't have it, let me know and I'll give it to you. Txt messaging is addicting...

5. God - To end the list...the spiritual atmosphere here is great. Of my five professors, three have a devotion before class and the other two have prayer before class. That in itself is cool. Not to mention V2 (Saturday night), Chapel, daily email from the campus chaplain and Church. This is definitely a good place to be.

So leave me comments!!! Now!!! And keep thinking of me...pray that I will get my work done in classes, that God and I can work some stuff out, and that I won't stress out about little things. Now, back to my essay...
