Weekend of Slack

So... ive decided that the last weekend before finals is when the craziness starts. Everyone on campus does everything possible to avoid doing actual studying. This makes the campus incredibly random for this week, and i love it.

Yesterday i decided to see how long my music library can play. So far i am over a day going. It says that i have over 54 hours of music, so we will see if thats right. Yeah, procrastination...

My roommate and i decided to steal dinner from saga and eat it later. We got two ice's, two apples, two pieces of cake, two peanut butter jelly sandwichs, some celery, and then we went to the Dorm 40 party and we got two hotdogs from that. We paid for our food, we just wanted to have a picnic. I took a picture of it, it was quite the adventure. We had fun :)

Gotta love finals week. I seriouly need to start getting work done though. My exams are as follows:

Monday:
Physics I: 9:45-11:45
Thusday:
Elementary Statistics: 7:30-9:30
Abnormal Psychology: 9:45-11:45

My physics final scares me. If you could pray for me, it would be much appreciated! :)

This is your life...

So im listening to a song by Switchfoot...

"Dont close your eyes. This is your life, are you who you want to be? Is it everything that you dreamed that it could be and you had everything to loose?"

Am i who i want to be? Am i honoring God with my life that He has given it to me.

A few verses that have really been speaking to me lately come from Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."

How much do i really trust God with everything in my life. So often i say "hey God, do what you will with all of these areas in my life, but this area over here, dont mess with that... its mine" I want to give my whole life up to God in trust. That is what has been challenging me recently.

Monday

Yay for no more lab. Physics Lab is done, Egypt is almost done... the semester is winding to a close

I love this song, its so pretty, but when you look at the lyrics its a really sad song...

Acoustic #3
By the Goo Goo Dolls

They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew

And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
No one's listening anyway

Your voice is small and fading
And you hide in here unknown
And your mother loves your father
'Cause she's got nowhere to go

And she wonders where these dreams go
'Cause the world got in her way
What's the point in ever trying
Nothing changing anyway

They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But your falling anyway

And you know I see right through you
'Cause the world gets in your way
What's the point in all the screaming
You're not listening anyway

Mountain Dew

Yes, i have the most random titles in the world. They generally have nothing to do with the actual content of the blog. But today, i will tell you that i am drinking Mountain Dew, and that is what inspired my title.

I am sitting down at KZX Writing my research paper. I have actually gotten quite a bit done, and i am very proud of myself. I have learned that it is very difficult to get much work done in my room. It is possible to do work in the weekday afternoons when everyone is gone somewhere, generally in class, because i cannot distract myself with talkin to them, and they cannot distract me either. Its a great system. But today is Sunday, and its night.. so everyone is in my suite right now. This is why i have vacated to KZX. And no, i do not have ANY alterior motives for being down here ;-D

Today was another really nice day. Jessi and i scared a bee out of her room. That was scary, it almost killed us... near death experiences with a hornet. AH!

I also got into a potato-head war with Lynn and Roommate. They were sitting outside, so naturally since i was stuck inside researching, i couldnt let them just lay in the sun and relax, so i threw potato heads at them. This started a war, because then they decided to throw the potato heads back at me. Everytime a potato head was thrown it would loose more and more body parts. The outside of our window began to look like a potato head massacure. It was funny. Potato head body parts being thrown everywere! Good times disrupting the peace. See what i mean, i cant sit in my room without somehow distracting myself.

Side note: Danny fixed his couch, so now when i sit on it, i wont sink into the black hole that is his couch.

Well, back to the great and wonderful paper i like to call Andrea's Crappy Paper!!

Moo

Today was a really nice day. Warm and sunny. Days like today are great. I love them! The funny thing about days like today in Texas is that this may be a warm spring day, but not nearly as warm as summer is. Well... days like today are about as hot as it gets in the summers at home.

Speaking of home, i go home in 3 weeks. How crazy is that. The semester has just flown by. It has been a good year, and i am not ready to come home yet. Yes, thats right. I just said essentially that i wish i could stay in TX for just a bit longer. I dunno what im thinking. I am excited to get home to cook and relax. Summers are really fun.

Well... not too much is goin on here. I am currently working on a research paper about where the Isrealites crossed the red sea. Today i washed my car. Its still streaky though... thats dissapointing. So sad, ill have to wash my car again before i go home. At least it looks better than it did. Oh yeah, roommate and i went to get Jones' Cream Soda. This is most likely the best cream soda ever. I encourage everyone to go to Albertsons and buy it. Good stuff. Kinda tastes like cotton candy too.. i dunno, its hard to explain. Just go buy it. now.
