Today I barely did anything and I don't know why. Sometimes I just assume something exciting will come up and then it is 10:30 pm and I am doing sit ups and writing unimportant blog posts to entertain me!

Tomorrow my parents are going to Christopher's wrestling tournament and, let me tell you, those things are LONG. So Amy Grace and I are left alone. I think that I am going to take her to Tangled and then hang out at North Hills to entertain her.. and me.

Oh also I downloaded this free picture editing thing and I edited some pictures.

These would not rotate so just turn your head. It will be good exercise!

Daryl, I tried for a long time to give you brown hair but I failed and gave up :( haha

Classic

I think that Over Thinking by Relient K is a really good song. It resonates with me no matter what is going on in my life.

Cut these glorious bangs all by myself. I have come along way since I chopped off all of my Barbie's bangs and a big hunk of my own!

Things I am not sure about:
- How to handle situations that don't happen the way I expected
- How to let go and let the chips fall where they may
- How to balance being flexible and not being a pushover
- How to not get so frustrated at myself and my failures
- How to grow and recognize my failures but be at peace with who God made me to be
- How to get from Athens Drive to Trinity of Durham
- How to balance my obligations
- How to get from Athens Drive to my house
- Where I fit now, and where I want to fit

Things I am sure about:
- He who began a good work in me will carry it on to completion
- That rose is not mine it's Amy Grace's
- I am loved by at least a few people and also the Guy who created me and knows MOST of all what a crappy person I am
- If I do control everything it will end up sucking
- I am an introvert
- I am insecure
- No offence to any or all people, I really do like you, but people do stress me out (this includes the person that is me)
- Bananagrams is a fun game
- I am not good at ERS
- I love Christmas and I need to go Christmas shopping
- I want to go on an adventure. Really.
- This list is getting too random

YAY

This is my cheat sheet that I am very thankful for. I am thankful for so many things right now!

- a wonderful home to go back to
- Christmas
- wonderful family and friends to go back to
- Nice people who turn in my work for me :)
- Lauren May
- Hats, scarves, leggings, wool socks, insulated boots, and winter coats
- Beautiful snow
- Good grades

I post a lot when I am procrastinating

I am so cold, and I have a lot to do. Boy am I looking forward to Christmas break :)

And I am studying in a hat cause our heat is a failure at its one job in life.


:)

Finals

This is a studying strategy I like to call Information Osmosis:

I am Going Crazy

But I have to just post again to say this song is great. Awesome. Fantastic.


Wedding Dress by Derek Webb:

If you could love me as a wife 
and for my wedding gift, your life 
Should that be all I'd ever need 
or is there more I'm looking for 

and should I read between the lines 
and look for blessings in disguise 
To make me handsome, rich, and wise 
Is that really what you want 

I am a whore I do confess 
But I put you on just like a wedding dress 
and I run down the aisle 
and I run down the aisle 
I'm a prodigal with no way home 
but I put you on just like a ring of gold 
and I run down the aisle to you 

So could you love this bastard child 
Though I don't trust you to provide 
With one hand in a pot of gold 
and with the other in your side 

I am so easily satisfied 
by the call of lovers so less wild 
That I would take a little cash 
Over your very flesh and blood 

Because money cannot buy 
a husband's jealous eye 
When you have knowingly deceived his wife 

INCREDIBLE

Two posts in one day? Yes.

Lauren and I did an incredible thing. We woke up at 12:00pm, bundled up, and rode on the appalcart for 1 hour without reaching our destination,Walmart. (Since when can the appalcart not drive in a little snow?) Is that the incredible thing? Of course not! Then we decided to make our day unwasted. We got our backpacks and went to the library on a Saturday evening. We got a study room and we were SUPER productive. I feel much better now!

Another incredible thing is that Lauren didn't die.



                         This is a picture of Lauren and I walking to the library:

well

It is snowing outside. The forecast doesn't show any warmness in my future. As much as I love Christmas and all it's festivities, this whole freezing thing (plus the stress of finals) makes me appreciate how much I LOVE THE SUMMER! :)

Guys..

I discovered something great today. I can dry my hair straight in like 10 minutes. This is good because here is cold, and having wet hair is cold. I thought I was incapable of such a feat... but I am not! Yeahhhh!
