Mondays aren't cool

Another week begins. Sad really. I wish that I didn't have to go to classes and stuff. I keep having the dream of laying around doing nothing but watching television. But I mentioned that yesterday, so I will move on.

Today was rather dull. I attended my 3 classes. I was pretty much asleep in Christian Scriptures (well not really but definitely drifting). It is so dull. And sadly enough I just don't care about what he is talking about. Is that bad? Communications wasn't much better. I didn't fall asleep, but it was pretty boring. Usually it is interesting, but not today. Sad. Then I ate lunch and got ready for work. I had to attend my 1:30 class first though, Biology. Ugh. I still don't like this class. I am currently getting a B in it and hope to do better. I am gonna do some extra credit which should help. I guess I just need to work harder though. I have been sorta though.

So, after Bio I went to work. I just worked for 2 hours today. There was a lot to do though. I prepared the bank deposit which requires me to go through all the checks we received recently and enter them into excel and them stamp them and then make copies of them. Exciting stuff. I also was on hold for like 15 minutes. Yeah, so work was work I guess. Jonathan didn't e-mail me like at all today. It was sad. He has been slacking recently.

So after work I have just been hanging out. Normally I have bible study, but we moved it to later in the week for this week. So, that was cool I guess. I am currently watching a couple of episodes of Alias before bed. I probably should be doing homework, but I don't want to. I will do it tomorrow and get stressed. It will be fun....or not. lol. Anyway, I think that is all I have to say. I am looking forward to this weekend when Teresa comes up to hang out with me. :) Funness. Yeah, so bye.

Another weekend fades away

Today was a pretty lazy day. I actually went to morning church instead of the evening service because the evening service was gonna be at someplace else. I carpooled with JonTon. After church I did finished up my homework and attended a group meeting for my communications class. It was pretty lame. We have to give a short presentation on Wednesday. I don't like group projects...this one shouldn't be that bad though. We shall see.

I was able to take a nap today and watch some television/movies. Good times. It was great. I wish that I could just lounge around in my pjs doing nothing but watching television and movies. That would be my perfect day. :) I hope to do it someday soon...but it might have to wait until spring break. Sad I know.

Anyway, I think that is all for now. Not too detailed but it will work. At least I post unlike some people I know. However, they have been doing better so I guess I will not pick on them too much. :) Yeah, so ttfn.

um...yeah.

So, that was quite the response to my last blog. I kinda think that it is partially because I left it up for like a day longer than I normally would have. Fridays are usually pretty busy for me though. I attended all of my classes which were all pretty dull. I got my test back in Christian Scriptures and got an 'A-' so that is good. I still don't hate him. I think that the reason I don't mind him is because I don't really pay attention to what he is saying. Most of the people who hate him, hate him because of his crazy opinions and such. However, I just ignore him and it seems to work a lot better. lol.

After classes I went to work. It was rather dull. I only work for 2 hours on Monday and Friday so it isn't so bad. It goes by fairly quick. I left directly from work to visit JonTon again. We were able to finish Firefly. Which is very exciting. It doesn't end like a series should since it got canceled and all, but it isn't a horrible ending. I am glad that they are putting out a movie though. It should wrap things up...I hope.

I slept in until noon this morning. I hadn't planned to sleep in that long, but I guess that is what you get when you don't set an alarm. :) Oh well, it was kinda nice. I should go do homework now though. I just want to relax...Perhaps after homework I will stick in a movie and just hang around. :) ttfn. ~Laura

More than you wanted to know...

I have been informed by my roommate that I do not put enough detail into my blogs. So, in case she is right here is more than you wanted to know about my day.

Today I got up at 7:00 a.m. in order to go to work. I took a shower at a time when no one else was even in the bathroom. I had my pick of the showers but took the 2nd best one because when I take the best one I always feel more pressure to get out quicker because someone is always waiting for it. I had forgotten once again to replace my soap that had run out a couple of days ago so I once again substituted my body wash. lol. I just need to get the soap out of my drawer and move it to the bathroom, but I keep forgetting.

So, after my shower I finished getting ready and I went to breakfast. There I met Valerie, a fellow Agros worker who has taken to carpooling with me on Tuesdays and Thursday so she doesn't have to take the bus. She still takes the bus back though because I leave a lot earlier than she does. At about 8:15 we made our way to the car and were on our way to work. We got stuck behind some slow cars which made us like 2 minutes late to work. No biggie though.

Work was pretty tedious today. I was doing a big mail merge that involved entering data and junk. It was pretty annoying though because the database program that held all the names/addresses kept being stupid. Finally it began to run smoothly though. I did that for most of my 4 hours finishing off with a trip to the bank. Good times.

Once I got back to SPU I checked my oil. This is something I have been negligent on for the past couple of weeks. Bad Laura. However, the car was fine and I added another quart to Jimmy. I think he is happier now. We shall see. I then came inside and changed for lunch. On my way to lunch Bonnie attacked me. One would think that I would be used to this by now, but alas I am not. Anyway, so we ate lunch together. I got a turkey sandwich like I always do. I really like the sandwiches at Gwinn. Today I could not really decide if I wanted a whole sandwich or a half of one. But I went with a whole and ate basically all of it. They are pretty big sandwiches too. I feel sorta bad when I eat a whole one, like maybe I am eating too much or something. I got a pop today instead of my normal lemonade. I ran into Lars (a guy in one of my classes last quarter who we tried to get as a roomies date but it didn't work out) at the pop machine. We spoke briefly.

After lunch I came back to my room and worked on homework. Tuesdays and Thursdays are homework days. I did homework for Biology (I actually read the chapter, go me!), Christian Scriptures (yawn), and Communications. It was rather dull work but it had to be done. I then worked on my PA application. It is almost done. I just need to finish up the essay and then type up the whole thing into the actual application. I was trying to find some good Bible verses for my essay but so far I am unsuccessful. I called Mom but she did not answer. I wonder where she was. I will probably try again pretty soon here.

In about an hour I am leaving to visit JonTon. Well, actually I am attending a going away party for Joy at JonTon's house. It is a surprise. :) I am taking Natalie so I have to pick her up from her apartment. Company should be nice, although I don't know what we will talk about. Oh well, it is only a half an hour. So, that should be fun.

I am passing up 'good' television to go and hang out at the party. And yet I don't feel upset about this. I think something may be wrong with me. lol. Oh well they are kinda garbage shows anyway, no offense to you die hard O.C. or E.R. fans. :) I like the shows too...Like I said something might be wrong with me. It could be that I am the slightest big ill and possibly not thinking clearly. I don't have a sore throat anymore, but i definitely have a hint of congestion. It seems to be passing fairly quickly though. Hopefully it continues to depart from me.

Anyway, I think I have exhausted not only myself but all of you. So, I will bid you farewell. I hope you enjoyed my very detailed blog post. I cannot promise they will all be like this in the future, but perhaps that is a good thing.

A quick post before class

So, I have my Bible Study class in like 15 minutes but I thought I would update my blog. I took my Christian Scriptures test today and I am not sure how I did on it. I might know by Friday though. I also turned in my paper today, so I don't really have anything else to worry about this week...Except finishing my PA application. Which I need to do cause it is due on Monday. I am almost done though.

I am wondering if I am getting sick. One would think I would be able to tell but sometimes I have sore throats and then the next day I am fine. I am hoping this is one of those things. Everyone around me has been sick so it is my turn, but I would rather pass. Anyway, it isn't bad yet.

Anyway, I should get ready for class. Fun, fun. After class I get to watch Alias though, so that is cool. So, ttfn. ~Laura

And life continues...

Okay, so I am feeling less stressed. I have finished my paper and I think I am done studying for my Christian Scriptures class. I don't really know how well I studied, but I don't know what else to do, so hopefully it will all work out. Having taken Bible Classes all my life one would think I would be able to guess my way through it if nothing else. Hopefully I won't have to though. Anyway, ask me tomorrow if I still like Wall (the evil professor everyone hates, but I still only find boring...like every other professor in the world).

Definately want to craw in a hole and hide...

I have a lot going on this week. I am feeling sorta overwhelmed. Most of it is happening on Wednesday though, so if I can get past then I should be fine.

Help me...

The Omen

Sorry I haven't blogged in a couple of days. On Friday I went to classes and then went to work and then went to JonTon's. We are almost done watching the Firefly. We only have like 2 more episodes. It is a good show.

Saturday I did a lot of homework and then I just hung out. We were supposed to Golden Gardens as a dorm and have a bon fire, but it got canceled because of the 'weather'. If we believe that story. (I think that the hall council members just weren't that prepared for it.) :) Oh well. So instead I took a group of girls to Taco Bell (Pizza Hut, Taco Hut, Pizza Bell..whatever) and then to Blockbuster. We rented 'The Omen.' Which we thought would be scary. However it was made in the 70's and it was really just quite funny. I enjoyed it, but some people were disappointed that it wasn't scary. However, I had good time. :)

Today I have to finish homework. Oh fun. Tomorrow starts another week....

Um...yeah

So today is Thursday. It feels weird for it to be Thursday already. It is nice though. I am glad that tomorrow is Friday. I am going over to JonTon's tomorrow night to watch more of Firefly. I am looking forward to that.

I didn't really do much today. I went to work, and then I did homework. That about sums it up. Life is pretty exciting. lol. Tonight I have 2 television shows and a Bible Study, so that is kinda exciting. :)

For all of you who have not heard yet, I am applying to be a Peer Advisor for next year. So, I have been working on the application for that today. It is quite the extensive process. Including a 19 page application (not all of that is stuff I have to fill out though) and an initial interview followed by a group interview (if you get that far). Then if you get it you have to sign up for a class and take the class Spring Quarter and then in Fall also. And you have to come to school early and such. But I think it would be a good thing for me. :) Anyway, so you guys can be praying about that.

Anyway, I guess I should 'study' my biology terms. Fun, fun...

I'm one of those people!!!

So, I think something in me has finally snapped. I have become one of those people! What kind of people you ask? Well...

I have become one of those people who forgets they have class.
I was talking to Sandra and we were discussing going to visit the airport for a people observation assignment for our Communications class, until I remembered that I had a class that I needed to go to. What kind of person just forgets they have class? lol. Anyway, so instead of going to the airport (which I probably won't do by myself) I went to my annoying biology class and had 'fun' watching Kristi fall asleep. Oh the joys of Biology.

Now one would think that this would be a bad enough person to become but I am not done.

So, last night I was watching the movie Troy. Now, granted I missed the first 30 minutes, but I found myself more confused than I felt I should be. I think the initial confusion was that I had assumed that Troy was a name of a person as opposed to the name of a town. Which really didn't help things. But after I figured that out I was still sorta confused. I really had no idea who to be cheering on. I mean, which side is the good side? The people of Troy or the Greeks? Who should be the winner? Of course we all know that we want to see Brad Pitt win at everything, but on the other hand the Troyians...er...people of Troy seemed to be overall a better people to have win. Because who really wanted to see the Greek king win! I mean he was just evil. So...I am watching this movie and I am still slightly confused although as I get into the movie further I begin to understand what is going on. So, it comes to a battle scene and I find myself wondering which side is which. We have what appears to be people with rectangle shields fighting people with round shields...Does this have symbolism I wonder?

Anyway, I say all that to say that I have become one of those people who just doesn't understand war movies....or something. I kinda think I missed the point. Perhaps if I watched it again it would be different. But I don't really see that happening any time soon.

Yeah, so...this is just another one of those people signing off...

Good Song!

Blessed Be Your Name
by Matt Redman
- - -
Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name

Tomorrow is a Friday of a long weekend!!!

Today was a pretty monotonous day. I got up and went to work. Then I came back and did homework until dinner. I did finally apply for my Business Administration minor. Hurray for me! I have only been putting that off since I signed up for classes last quarter. But it is finally done. Which makes me happy.

This evening I have quite the schedule. I am attending a meeting at 7:00 regarding being a Peer Advisor for next year. I am not totally sure I want to do it, but the more I think about it the more I like the idea. But I am not sure. I want to go to the meeting however, to keep my options open and such.

Then at 8:00 there is 'The O.C.' and at 9:00 is the floor Bible study. And at 10:00 is E.R. So, as you can see I have quite the night. I am currently avoiding studying for my biology terminology quiz tomorrow. I did study for a little bit, but I do not really feel motivated. It is only worth a few amount of points and the worst grade (possibly worst 2 grades, I am not sure) is dropped. So...yeah. I am a bad person.

Anyway, I suppose I should get back to pretending like I am studying. Just thought I would delay it a little longer. hee hee. See some of you guys tomorrow. ~Laura

A real post...

Okay, so I am posting a real post today. Let me attempt to fill you in on my life...

My Christian Scriptures class with the dreaded teacher is so far going okay. I haven't felt overwhelmed yet, which is good. I am taking the class as a 3001 level as opposed to some of the other people in the class who are taking it at the 2000 level. So, I have to do another assignment. I have to read this book and write a 300 word essay on it. I can't believe that I bought this book just to write 300 words...That is ridiculous. I know one person in this class, but we aren't in the same homework group, so we don't get much time to chat. I really don't care about this class though. I feel like I should care, but at the same time I just really don't care whether or not God created the formless void or if the void was already there in Genesis 1:1-2. I'm really not sure it matters...

My Intro to interpersonal communications class is really interesting. I am really enjoying this class. The teacher is a tad on the odd side, but he is really good. Unlike so many college classes, I feel this is a class I can actually apply to my life. Which is a nice change. My SMC is in this class with me and after class we walk over to Gwinn and have lunch, so that is nice.


My Biology class is quite dull. One of the girls on my floor is in that class, and sometimes we walk over together and sit by eachother. I am still not quite sure how hard I will have to work in this class to get a good grade. I am hoping I will not really have to spend all that much time on it...but we shall see. Another class I really don't care about.


My Bible study on David is really interesting. I have only had 1 class, but the teacher is really good. I have another class tonight, so that should be good. We have read 3 chapters in the book and I wrote my 2 mini essays, which wasn't hard. I think I will continue to enjoy this class.

I am really excited for Alias tonight. I enjoy that show a lot, a lot. lol. Anyway, I don't really think I have a whole lot else to say. I am coming home this extended weekend, so that will be fun. :) So...yeah, I am gonna go do something unproductive...either read or watch an episode of Alias on my computers new dvd player...fun....

Another song I enjoy...

"Baby Girl"

They say this town the stars stay up all night,
well I don't know, can't see em,
through glow of the neon lights
well its a long way from here,
to the place where the home fires burn,
well its two thousand miles and one left turn...

[Chorus:]
Dear Mom and Dad please send money,
I'm so broke that it ain't funny,
well I dont need much just enough to get me through,
please dont worry cause I'm alright,
see I'm playing here at the bar tonight
well in this town I'm going to make our dreams come true.
well I love you more than anything in the world,
Love your baby girl

black top, blue skies big town full of little white lies,
everybodys your friend, you can never be sure,
they'll promise fancy cars and diamond rings and all sorts of shiny things,
but girl you'll remember what your knees are for

[Chorus:]
Dear Mom and Dad please send money,
I'm so broke that it ain't funny,
well I dont need much just enough to get me through,
please dont worry cause I'm alright,
see I'm playing here at the bar tonight
well in this town I'm going to make our dreams come true.
well I love you more than anything in the world,
love your baby girl

I know that I'm on my way,
I can tell everytime I play,
I'll know that it's worth all the dues I payed when I can write to you and say:

Dear Mom and Dad I'll send money
I'm so rich that it ain't funny
well it ought to be more than enough to get you through
please dont worry becasue I'm alright
see I'm staying here at the Ritz tonight
what do ya know it made our dreams come true
and there are fancy cars and diamond rings
but you know that they dont mean a thing
cause they all add up to nothing compared to you,
well remember me in ribbons and curls,
I still love you more than anything in the world,
Love your baby girl

Your baby girl
(Dear Mom and Dad please send money,
I'm so broke that it ain't funny,
well I dont need much just enough to get me through)
Your baby girl
(please dont worry cause I'm alright,
see I'm playing here at the bar tonight
-dreams come true.)

Should I be depressed that Megan is worth more than me?

First Weekend Back

Well it is the first weekend back at SPU. I spent yesterday evening at JonTon's. It was nice to meet Holly and hang out. Tonia's family was there too. Today Aunt Linda is coming up to visit me. I am not completely sure what we are gonna do, but it should be fun. We are gonna go out to eat somewhere, I am thinking of taking her to the spaghetti Factory, cause that is where I take everyone who comes to see me. lol. That is where my friends and I always eat when they come up, and Deborah and I ate there when she visited. It is a pretty cool place. After that we will probably tour the campus or Seattle and hang out. Good times. I will let you know what we actually did later.

It is weird to be back up here on a weekend. I am putting off my homework until tomorrow I think. I did do a little bit of it earlier today though. I read some of my Bible Study book on David. Anyway, I guess I should go. ttfn. ~Laura

So not motivated....

Well another day has gone by. I have accomplished basically all that need to although I am sure if I was being truly the most responsible person ever I would still be studying. Oh well.

It is said that it might snow tomorrow...but not until the evening. I am not sure if it will though. I heard that Longview/Kelso got snow today for a bit and I am really jealous. Boo!

I watched Alias last night and it was truly amazing! It should be a good season. :)

Also, I can now fill you in on my bible study class. I thought it would be a fairly small class, but obviously I was mistaken. I guess it usually has about 40 people in it but somehow this quarters has like 90 people! One would think that with all those people I would know someone, but I didn't really see anyone I know. The professor is really cool though and I am looking forward to it. It should be relatively easy to as long as I can fit in the reading. We have to read 3 chapters a week and write a really short (1 page double spaced) paper if we want to get a B and write 2 short papers if we want an A. So I think that should be doable. :)

So, I am sitting here now kinda bored. I just got done watching The O.C. It was a good episode. I seem to have lost my roommate again though. That is always happening to me. I am always like "Where is Bonnie?" or "Has anybody seen my roommate?" Although I must admit that I never look anywhere other than my room...and like across the hall. lol. I might watch a few episodes of Gilmore Girls season 1 before I go to bed because the PA is borrowing them and watching them regularly. Fun, fun.

Anyway, I am gonna stop blogging now because it has come to the point where I am talking about stuff that no one really cares about. So, ttfn. ~Laura

The day that never ends....

Today is my busiest day of my week. I have all 4 of my classes spread throughout today. Here is an overview of my day and what I think of the classes so far...

9:30 - U-Found (UFND) with Wall. I think I will hate this class. You see Wall is probably one of the most despised teachers here at SPU. Every time I mention I have UFND with him everyone is like, "oh...I'm sorry." It is really not that encouraging. Plus I find out that Jonathan like dropped out of his class or something. Grr. He seemed okay today, but every professor seems okay on the first day. It sounds like the class will have a lot of work. However, I do feel like I will probably learn a lot. How annoying....I do like the fact that I will once again have a Bible class in my schedule though. I kinda missed it. I mean I haven't had a Bible class since I left Cornerstone...And I like having them. Anyway, I am praying that everything works out in this class....But I think it would take a miracle.

11:00 - Intro to Interpersonal Communications (COM 1101). This class seems like it will be alright. A person from my floor is in the class with me, so that is nice. She is the Student Ministry Coordinator (SMC). The teacher seems pretty cool and the text books sound kinda fun. So, we shall see how that goes.

Lunch

1:30 - Biology 1100. I know about 4 people in this class. It is a pretty big class and the waiting list is kinda extensive from what I understand. I don't expect to have too much problem with this class, but it will require a lot of memorization which could be tough...And annoying. I am not expecting to really enjoy this class.

Nothing from 3:00-6:00

Dinner

6:30 - Theology 3001. This is a 2 credit Bible study. This quarter is on David. I think I am looking forward to this class. I think it should be fairly enjoyable. However, since it is considered upper division I am not sure what to expect. And since I haven't had it yet today I can tell you nothing about how it truly looks. I'll let you know.

The Bible study gets over at 8:10. After this I have to get ready to watch Alias. Tonight is the 2 hour premier of Alias. I am really looking forward to it. I am gonna watch it across the hall with Ann, the Peer Advisor (PA). :) hee hee. So that goes on from 9:00-11:00. Then I guess I will hang out until I go to bed. Tomorrow I have to get up at 7 so I can be at work by 8:30. Joy.

Isn't my life fun....

I'm back!

Hello again. Here I am back in Seattle. It is kinda nice to be back. Although I enjoyed my break. I worked four hours today, which wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. I don't like work. :) I didn't have any classes today, but I start tomorrow with my busiest day of the week. Wednesdays are almost non-stop for me. Plus tomorrow Alias starts so that is exciting! Yeah!

Anyway, I have lots to do. Now that I am back at SPU I will be able to get back into blogging on a regular basis....Hopefully. lol. ttfn. ~Laura
