spring break '10... Introduction

......so as mentioned, i'm juuuuuuuuuust learning how to blog. in the process of learning, you have to start taking on challenges in order to grow and develop as a "pro-blogger." aye? Thus, in my attempt to grow in the blogging area of my life... i'm going to blog spring break 2-0-1-0

who's excited?

So here's the jist. Bethany Mueller [my roommate, for those who do not know] and I are road tripping a little this break. IN-WI-IN-NC... We started in little ole' Marion, IN and headed to Sparta, WI... why Wisconsin? well, my dad is stationed in Ft. McCoy, Wisconsin so we came up for the weekend to see him. the plan is to post videos and pictures of the trip, but we have limited internet access, therefore i'm just sending out a little snippet into the void of internetted-ness to inform the RAGING fans of what's going on.

......the actual juice?
soon to come when we get to the land where internet flows like milk and honey.

the livings

For Christmas i asked for a subscription to National Geographic.

For Christmas Hillary bought me a subscription to National Geographic...

......it's what? the end of February, and i just got January and February in the mail because Hillary put our home address instead of my school address on the subscription.

nice.

Jokes. Anyhow, i like National Geographic, it's fun to see how beautiful the world is through their magazine and how smart and inventive humans can be... i just think that's interesting.

So, I have two mid-terms (one being Rock Climbing... psh... child's play) and 5 classes between me and spring break! stoked! Bethany is coming to North Carolina for her first time, so this will be exciting to have someone on campus who will know both of my little worlds... sorta. and for me to get to show her the ropes of the Bible Belt.... Are we still in the bible belt? i think so...... this is why i did bad in US History. Sorry Mr. Barber.... i'll do better next time.

I'm thinking about going to Wisconsin this weekend and hanging out with Dad for a day... it's just a thought right now though... may happen....... may not... we'll see.

I'm really excited about not having to think academically for a week, that's probably the most exciting thought of my spring break thoughts when i go into thought land about spring breaking and my thoughts about it when i think......... thoughts. ok.

I just got done web chatting with Sarah Su, she's doing well in Raylay, NC and wants to minor in Italian. I told her that's exciting as i thought about how we both hated Spanish (jugar futbol) for so long but i'm glad she's been able to redeem her learnings of the foreign language department... I still don't like Spanish.

...this blogging thing is hard.

it's like on the internet so i don't want to be all personal but i don't want to be lame and just tell you about the lint in my pockets so please bear with me as i get the hang of it all. I'm not offended if you move on to something more interesting, but know every so often there will be legit thoughts on here so come back for some pizza sometime and i'll feed you like Chef Boyardee.

peace.

Test.

Today I had two tests... shoot! i have to call Hillary back!......done. ok, so i had two tests. And as of now i feel like my brain is a vegetable (i just realized this thing has spell check. word.). But i thought i'd send an update of thoughts for the day.

thought 1 i hate tests
thought 2 tests are good for me though, cause they make me sit down and focus. i focus way better when i'm forced to... sometimes. today i did.
thought 3 even though i suck at taking tests and don't always get good grades, i feel smart. And sometimes i feel like God has helped me see things through higher education. things i wouldn't have realized without the forced learning process we call school. I like that. Even though school gets annoying and frustrating, God can still be in the midst of it and speak little whispers about life. i like His whisper voice.
thought 4 I'm currently taking my last Amoxicillin (meds for my sinus infection).
thought 5 sleep is the key to a door of success.
thought 6 the devo in Psych today was the same scripture (1 John 4:7-21) that i talked about in unit devos. i think it's cool when God speaks to His people on similar things.
thought 7 i think our generation's way of keeping God's name Holy is through capitalizing His name... like how the Hebrews used to use YHWH so they wouldn't just skim over God's name. I like that.
Night.

Who wants to know.

These are my thinkings... if I can do a blog people can keep tabs on me without me even really making a huge effort right? like if I go on some crazy adventure and want to tell all my pals but can't get them all together I can type it up and they can just read it aye? so that way i won't leave details out... i do that sometimes. so that's my plan. you were wondering, i know it. Now you know.

I'm taking a class called Urban Anthropology this semester. I have a bad attitude about it. Mostly because it's all about the book and not so much about the lectures, and i'm lazy. lame. i know. I'm trying to get a better attitude and not be so lazy but it's hard. Right now i'm just trying to look at it in different perspectives to make it more intersesting.

Advice for the day: Don't drink coffee on an empty stomach.

I started a blog today.
