I don't know how to make this a link so just copy it and go to the site. It's funny to see what it has to say.
Sereta Maria Haun means...
Very much an individual with a charismatic personality and keen mind you attract many admirers and much affection. You are extremely sociable and build relationships with honesty, trust and a good sense of humour. You have great potential for material success using your intellectual skills possibly in writing or speaking. Your industry, determination and positive mental attitude always win out.

life is a strange reality. i'm not sure what to add to that. the more of life i experience the more i realize i couldn't possibly figure it out on my own. i'm glad i have the almighty for a guide.
8 days until i come home!!
the 2 wks is gonna fly by so fast but i'm gonna try not to think about that. i'll worry about it when i get back. fortunately i only have 2 or 3 months to go when i get back. should go by pretty fast.
sometimes i feel like i'm the only one who has any perspective or direction in life and sometimes i feel like everyone but me has perspective and direction in life. unfortunately it's mostly the latter. ever felt like that? i think it tends to change w/ the mood i'm in which prevents me from getting a clear picture of where i'm actually headed. this is a bit much for a friday night. sleep always helps.
keep my granddad in your prayers. he's probably going to have to have a radical surgery in which they actually remove the lung to get the cancer out. doesn't sound like fun. pray for him if you could.
i've written the next paragraph like 5 times and deleted it over and over. i'm not sure what i'm trying to say. forget it. maybe i'll get it out later.
we have these little bag heaters we heat our food in when out on a job. the chemicals reacting w/ the water sounds like the patter of rain on a tin roof. i hope it rains when i'm home. i used to hate rain with a passion, especially when i was working at the depot. we haven't had even a sprinkle since mid-january. i'd love to see some rain right now.

my dream last night
August 26 2005
everytime i wake up i try to figure out the reason why i have the dreams i do. ya know dreaming is a way for the brain to sift through all of the info that's has been put in during the course of the day. so i usually try to figure out what would've triggered certain parts of the dream from what happened the day before. so with all that said, let me tell you about my dream...
i had a lot of youth-from my first church back in alabama-over at my parents' house to all spend the night. ya know, sort of like a lock-in, except at the house instead of the church. they ended up writing all over the walls in the kitchen. and then the dream switched over very quickly to me being outside at a parade and i had a baby with me that i was calling my niece. i needed to find a bathroom, but couldn't. so for some reason unknownst to me, i just started walking. and i reached a certain point and decided that was good and just turned back around and started walking back to where i came from. while walking back i picked up the baby i had with me and it turned into a headless baby! and it didn't seem strange to me at all. i thought, "people probably think it's wierd that my baby doesn't have a head, but it's not really that strange. the head will grow on as he gets older." (meaning that this was my son, not my niece that i had with me.)
and then i woke up.
i can point out all of the different things that happened yesterday that would've caused each part of the dream. i won't bore you with all of those details, but i will tell you about the last part-the headless baby. yesterday, jeff, susan, and i went into banana republic after eating at cafe lalo. their manicans (is that the right spelling?) have no heads. there was one that i absolutely loved the outfit (for males). so as i was standing by it i put my arm in his and told susan and jeff that i needed a guy that would wear this outfit. susan ended up taking a picture of me and the headless guy. so you get the picture...me and a headless guy-we'd have a headless son...right?

Car Wreck
August 25 2005
Me and my friend Ross were in a pretty bad car wreck tonight at about 10:30 pm. I was playing around a bit, and I over corrected one way, got scared and over corrected the other way. My car flipped once as we went down into the ditch. We are both ok, no serious injuries. Ross hit his neck on the roof, I hit my chest on the steering wheel pretty good, and the glass in my hand is starting to hurt pretty badly. The car itself is probably totaled. I thank god that neither one of us were seriously injured. The fact that we both had our seatbelts on and that we hit a fence is probably the reason we aren't in the hospital right now. The cop said that he'd seen less damage on a car and dead drivers. it really only hit me a while ago what could have happened. I just want to let anyone know if you hear about the wreck, we're both ok.
Just make sure to give me a hug next time I see you.

Lots to write, but I don't have time for it all here. I will write about the leadership retreat later.
Tonight, I had to do something that I really didn't want to do. I'll write more about that later too. I'm too tired right now. I'm literally falling asleep.
Goodnight.

realizations that can only come with age
August 25 2005
so many people tell you that once you get older you will realize how amazing your parents really are and that no matter how much you say you hate them or that they are being unfair and unreasonable, they truly have your best intrests at heart. that is something that simply takes realizing you were wrong, i can sit here and tell my brother and his friends that their parents are just looking out for them because they have been there and they know what it is like, but it doesn't matter what i say, it takes experience for this line of thought to manifest itself to anybody.
i am blessed with so much more than i deserve. i have two parents who love me, a pretty cool brother, a wonderful home, material things beyond what i need, and yet i can be so selfish sometimes that if i take a step back and look at the situation as an outsider i'm disgusted with my actions
i guess it is my fault that i'm like this, but instead of liking somebody as soon as i meet them and waiting until they do something that makes me dislike them, i dislike them until they do something to make me like them. that is probably why i don't have many close friends, i mean i have just as many aquaintances as anybody, but i can't say that i have many actual friends. i guess unfounded arrogance and hubris isn't too appealing.
my plans mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. my plans up until this point have not included a calling from my creator, and that so far has been my problem, i have been concerned with my plans, i still don't know what i want to do or what i'm supposed to do, i know a lot of things that i don't want to do though, so i guess that's a start
when leaders focus on what they are getting out of leading others instead of being concerned with what those that they lead are getting from them, then organizations and groups of all sorts begind to decay. i sure hope, for posterity's sake, that the BAY gets it under control because the way i see it, gravity is taking over in this downward nosedive
late bloomers, in spiritual matters, seem to have an extreme advantage over those who have been conditioned into religion by years of redundancy, not to say that being brought up in the church is by any means a negative experience, but it sometimes makes it harder to have an actual relationship with christ than those who have seen the bottom and now see a light at the end of the tunnel that isn't a train, unfortunately for myself, i had the unique pleasure of experiencing both of those scenarios

August 25 2005
haha, just finished my last summer reading card (Their Eyes Were Watching God) the day before it was due. I think I have some kind of disease that doesn't let me get things done until the absolute last minute. I'm serious, it's alllllllllllways the night before. If I try to do it earlier, I'll get distracted. Oh well....Stephy has it too....maybe we both just like stress. =P
Rachel has seven classes this year! Of course you would have already known this if I updated more than every two weeks....but stilll. Yay for etymology!
Maybe it'll be easier to write this weekend when I'm not dead from writing the plot of a book where all that happens is the stupid girl gets married every three seconds....
G'night, dearies.

So I pretty much spontaneously went to the welcome back to AO party thingie tonight, and I really enjoyed it. Met a TON of people, and I've already forgotten names. . . this being the girl who's great with remembering that sort of thing, lol. But yes. . . 'twas very fun. RFC starts up Monday night, so that should be interesting. Too bad Laura isn't here to assit me. Jerk. . .

Tired of Gas prices?
August 25 2005
Last weekend, Lance Armstrong and President Bush took a ride, I am sure right past all the protestors. It got me thinking, why isn’t anybody using this time to promote cycling as alternative use of transportation.
This is a perfect chance, cycling is gaining popular, and gas prices are sky rocketing. I’m not saying sell your car and ride everywhere. I am saying use your bike on short errands, or going to somewhere nearby. Also, think about one of the other well huge problems we are battling in American, that’s right obesity. Just think about the calories one would be burning.
Think about it this way. The average American drives 12,000 or so miles per year: So if one cycled 10 miles a week that would cut gas use by 500miles or 4 percent. This would cut overall use in America by 1.6 percent. This is only a tiny dent of course, but I wouldn’t mind having $20 extra dollars.
So instead of slapping on some American flag on your guzzling SUV, strap on a helmet and go..

I was sitting at the Quiznos over in Turkey Creek this afternoon when I realized something. After I ate my usual ham and cheese I wouldn't be going back home to hang out or I wouldn't be going over to Lyndi's. I stopped eating, put down my sandwich and said "Holy crap..I'm in college!"
HOW in God's name did I end up here?

Hmm, so Green Day kicked ass.
I loved them.
Jimmy Eat World was awesome also.
I hate school...
HATE HATE HATE HATE
I don't like the people. I don't like the point of it. And I don't like the teachers. Nor my classes.
Except for Sculpture. But thats fun. But I dont think I'll finish my project in time. So I should hurry up.
But it's so fucking hard to find good cardboard pieces. Damn it.
And there's a lot of annoying people. Like JD, and I dont like people being in the same place with me while I'm working. I don't feel like I can work, even though people aren't exactly paying attention to me.
But I do like lunch, sometimes. With Maegan, Ethan, and Ryan.
I don't know what I want. I want so many things, but I hate them at the same time.
I think I'm going to go see The Brothers Grimm with Lee tomorrow. If she agrees.

What I didn't sign up for. . .
August 25 2005
1. Selling hot dogs in the rain. twice
2. Sweating over a hot grill. in hot temperatures, and in rain.
3. Draining the space dog sink.
4. cleaning out the compartment that holds the "clean" water with bleach.
5. then scrubbing it out b/c there was mold
6. then putting sanitizer in it.
7. then clean water.
8. making sure to drain out the sanitizer, having water leak out EVERYWHERE.
9. re-sanitzing the Space Dog wagon, b/c it's now "unsanitized"
there was a free meal for all the stands workers today, it included an hour of sitting in a comfortable room, eating tasty hamburger, softserve ice cream watching disney movies(of course) and chit-chatting. I also signed up to win this cute Cinderella snow globe, and to possible become a GT(general teller) or stocker. hopefully one of those will work out!

Still hiding behind a rock
August 25 2005
Geez I am so pissed off. On top of a lot of other crap, my mom just asked me if Bean and I were still friends, if we still talked. I am so sick and tired of her bringing up our relationship. I am still mad at him, I still hate his reason adn think they are stupid, I still think it is better this way, but I still can't stop thinking about him. I am still hurting. It still hurts to look at Bean and think "how can you still be happy and pretend nothing ever happened between us?" I started crying about it again when Salty says "when Bean kicked her to the curb." I hate that phrase. It makes me sound like I did something wrong, and I still feel like I brought it upon myself. Sure I try to hide it by saying Bean's an idiot, he's stupid, but I am hiding my tears still. I hate hiding this. I start to make myself believe I am okay, but then something comes up and I start crying so hard. I say everything is better than ever, but I'm not sure it is.
Moving out
August 25 2005
I'm looking to move out AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! If ANYONE is in need of a fun loving tho relaxed roomate, PLEASE Hit me up! Or, if you want to room with me immediately, tell me and we will look for a place. Regardless, I'd be ready to leave tomorrow if I had the chance. So keep that in mind :)

hot dogs are a lot like life..
August 25 2005
so you're makin a "hot dog" and ur really excited about it because its an oscar myer (beef) hot dog and those are the best kind. you always end up with the gross turkey ones and so you're just really excited about the "BEEF" ones. its been so long!! so you're looking in your refridgerator for the ketchup...and you just keep looking and looking and you cant find it ANYWHERE. What is a "hot dog" without the "ketchup"?? i mean really.. By now your hot dog is cold......and you're so fed up because you were SO excited about it...but with no ketchup you just might as well THROW IT ALL AWAY. so you do....and then you realize.... the "ketchup" was right in front of your face all along........ but the "hot dog" is gone. well its not technically gone. its in the trash can but its definitely not edible and its "damaged" and there are no more beef ones left.
so you're just left to go hungry.. because you really had your "heart" set on that "hot dog". and now you feel stupid..
u can make this story mean whatever you want.

Song of the Day---"One Headlight" by the Wallflowers (Jacob Dylan is the sex...hardy har...)
p.s----i love this song "Carrying Cathy" by Ben Folds
"Her window was hung like a painting
She worried it might come to life
She stared for hours
So obsessed was I and self-absorbed that I
Didn't see that she was
Crying
There was always someone carrying
There was always someone carrying
Always someone's carrying Cathy
There were times when I'd find myself saying that:
"Friends, you don't understand"
And she's different when it's just me and her, and I
Closed the door and I tried to hang on and she
Sank into the dark
I was over my head
There was always someone carrying
There was always someone carrying
Always someone's carrying Cathy
We gave you everything
You could have been anything
We gave you everything
You could have done anything
But to imagine a fall
With no one at all to catch you
There'd always been someone
Then one night she climbed into the picture frame
Out in the frozen air
And out of sight
Woke up sad from this dream I've been having
The last couple nights or so
With her father and brothers we're all at the funeral
Carrying a box through the rain
Then somebody says that it's always been this way
Always someone's carrying
There was always someone carrying
Always someone's carrying Cathy"

living passionately
August 25 2005
what does it take to live passionately? maybe for you it starts by reading some awesome devotional. maybe it is spending some intimate time with God- discovering who He is and who He created you to be. mabye it is through ministry. maybe it is by telling others about His love. maybe is it just resting in His presence. but living passionately for the Lord ultimately results in abandoning your old life and taking hold of the life God has for you. this means handing over every area of your life to God.
i read this today in my utmost for his highest:
"we will never know the joy of self-sacrifice until we surrender in every detail of our lives...as soon as we do totally surrender; abandoning ourselves to Jesus, the Holy Spirit gives us a taste of His joy...have i ever yeilded myself in absolute submission of Jesus Christ? if he is not the One to whom i am looking for direction and guidance, then there is no benefit in my sacrifice. but when my sacrifice is made with my eyes focused on Him, slowly but surely His molding influence becomes evident in my life."
total abandonment of our lives. allowing God to enter and reign over every aspect of your life.think about the people who influenced you the most. are they not passionate about their God? it is not some big act that they put on, it is merely that they are passionately in love with their Savior. so in love that they sacrifice their lives, their dreams, and their own written stories to Him, the One who made the greatest sacrifice for them. passion is a deep, unhindered love. let your passion for God flow from you. allow others to see what God can really do.
God rocks my little rachael socks right off. He is awesome. i hope everyone has a great day!

What up? My first week is almost done HAHA! On top of that..... I have no greek i HAVE to do tonight!! On top of that, Sanctuary is tonight. Which is a worship service led by students here at lipscomb every thursday night. Its really good. It was definatly one of my favorite things about last year. ------- So I am super excited about what God is showing me already. He is teaching me so so much in just the 4 days I have been here. I can really, truely tell this year is going to be much different. I have a passion in my heart that wasn't there last year. This passion is for the people here at Lipscomb and to show Christ to them in every way I can! The reason I am so excited about this is because it feels a lot like the passion I had at MTCS for the peole there! The passion I had at MTCS drove me to passionatly pursue God's plan for my life. I can tell the passion I have now is doing the same! I can't wait to see everything that God is going to show me this year!
Be joyful always, never stop praying, give thanks in all circimstances for this is God's will for you in Christ. 1Thes 5:16-18

*mom is actually surprised that i haven't freaked out yet... my cousin is quite nervous about starting MTSU next week... me? presently i am "calm as a cucumber" (as my mom says)... we'll see how that is next week tho.
*they had a going away "fellowship" thing at my church for me Sunday night... they gave me money... like 188... and then wednesday one of our older ladies gave me a 20... so i've got 208 dollars... i was blown away!!! God is seriously taking care of me!!
*Amber's my soul mate!
*anyways.. i'd better skoot... talk to you guys later... leave me remarks... or die!!! well. maybe not... but still... leave me remarks! ~Hope

Nashville...
August 25 2005
It has been a crazy week. I am finally settleing in at Belmont. So far I love most of my classes, and I get along really well with my roommates! I think I am going to love it here, but for the time being I really miss knowing people. I am lonely A LOT! But, I'm assuming this is normal. I have seen some great concerts recently...matt wertz, and tim wildsmith. I'm going to see Watermark tonight and Dave Barns tomorrow....yay! So, basically, it looks like I am going to go broke here on tickets.
haha...and right now I am doing my first load of laundry...I'm a little scared to see how it turns out. Well,it seems that I have absolutley nothing interesting to so...so I will leave you with this. I hope all you guys are doing well...I'm thinking about you.

Waiting... Waiting... Waiting...
August 25 2005
Well, "work" is over. They didn't need us anymore after yesterday... they ran out of things for us to do... ha ha... plus the guidance office secretary is out of town today and tomorrow. So at least I earned a few extra dollars. So this cracked me up yesterday even more than the living room quote:
Rebecca (looking out the window of the guidance office, observing a girl talking to a guy): That guy looks scared!
*Someone opens the door to the office and we can hear the guy in the hallway*
Guy: Why do you keep talking to me? Get away from me! I don't know you!
Scary...
So who's going to the AO party tonight? I think I might be. Who's doing We-Haul? I haven't decided yet. Who's ready for college to just hurry up and start so we can get the beginning of the year over with? I definitely am! I'm just ready to be settled into college... but facing this new beginning will just make me stronger. God is showing more and more to not be afraid, and the importance of being brave.
Oh yes, and another question... is anyone free after 12:25 on MWF? We can hang out and eat lunch together! Let me know!
Oh, and I'm still waiting for that video camera and the group of folks to show up at my house...

The new Hootie and the Blowfish album is one of the best they've put out.
Time has shown me the error of my ways
I try to find you day after day
Our time has come now, our friends have all said
Waltz with me, Talk to me,
Our love has no end
When I'm with you girl, the fear in me leaves
To be in your world is all that I dream
When I walk away you waltz into me
Time has shown me the error of my ways
I try to find you day after day
Our time has come now, our friends have all said
Waltz with me, Talk to me,
Our love has no end
When I'm with you girl, the fear in me leaves
To be in your world is all that I dream
When I walk away you waltz into me

have you ever had your heart ripped out of your chest?
i have, last night was the toughest thing i have ever had to do. having the one you love taken three hours away.
i hope i get to see him soon.
i love you guys! please keep me busy in the meantime...
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Trying Something New Again
August 24 2005
Hey, so I'm trying to keep up with the latest trends and this seems to be on of them. I barely go to my xanga account, but I'll try harder with this one. I wonder if there are many people I know on here...
why did i go to college?
August 24 2005
i am the new proud employee at Garden State Plaza mall at Restoration Hardware. I never thought I'd really work at a mall. It was always one of those things i thought or even said like "I love this store, it would be fun to work here." The manager really wants me to work there, so since I got offered a job, and the pay isn't so bad, and I'll meet people my age, and I really like to shop and decorate and so on... I guess i'm going to take the job. I start on Tuesday. I guess if I don't like it I can quit. I do have to admit I'm having second thoughts because Pastor Jerry mentioned today (after he was admiring my computer) that there's an apple store only 15 minutes from my house...
so now the plan is to take the mall job, and then apply at apple and then quit at the mall when i get the job at apple.
I know i know, God makes the plans... not me!!!
we'll see what happens :)
it would just be really great to get a discount at apple.

Livid Linguists and the Wonky Worker
August 24 2005
"I feel like the magic in me is slowly dying. After five years without seeing the light of day it's no wonder, but I'm still concerned and clinging to it as desperately as possible. The harder I hold onto it, though, the faster it seems to diminish."
So I took the language placement exam for MTSU yesterday because, hey, I was there and it was there, so why not? I didn't really reflect on the fact that I've not spoken a lick of French since May. So I tested into a 2020 class. I'm absolutely livid. Not only is a certain Disservice To The Female Half Of The Human Race in that level, but 3010 is sooo much cooler. And fits right in with my schedule. And isn't full -- yet. And is exactly what I want/plan to take. Intensive Conversational French. Mmmmm, it's like toffee to the tongue. [I vented my frustrations on an ill-timed retirement plan that was addressed to me in the mail. I proceeded to severely damage this package by hurling it at a window repeatedly until a kitten walked underneath the target and got nailed in the head. Subsequently abandoned packet-hurling for shredding each and every page in the pamphlet, and felt much better.] So Mr. Truax [mon prof de francais] has kindly offered to telephone the foreign language department and see if I can't retake this test-o-doom. I was remembering so many answers as I walked out of the building that it's not remotely amusing. I am rarely [if ever] denied that which I set my heart on months in advance. [So I've only got one example of it, the role of "Ariel" in The Tempest -- sue me.] I've set my heart on Intensive Conversational French. One way or another, I will acquire this course. And it will not be in the spring semester. *Bumbumbummmmmm* *Squinty Eyes*
Yeah, so pretty sure Danny the Dish-Boy is getting mentioned to one manager or another. The guy is ancient and mangy and scruffy, and he makes me uncomfortable. Not physically. Verbally. He keeps asking me when I'm going to "take him riding" in my car; "show me your town;" "take me to the movies with your friends;" and all sorts of crap. The man is really pressuring me on all related issues. And he's not the sort you can chalk it up to insanity or the state known as "senile." He's seriously off. [The fact that he routinely stares at every single underage girls' ass as she walks by does nothing to help his case.] Ugh. Stupid people. I'm perfecting the art of innocently side-stepping, I swear.
Time to troll through eBay....
So I took the language placement exam for MTSU yesterday because, hey, I was there and it was there, so why not? I didn't really reflect on the fact that I've not spoken a lick of French since May. So I tested into a 2020 class. I'm absolutely livid. Not only is a certain Disservice To The Female Half Of The Human Race in that level, but 3010 is sooo much cooler. And fits right in with my schedule. And isn't full -- yet. And is exactly what I want/plan to take. Intensive Conversational French. Mmmmm, it's like toffee to the tongue. [I vented my frustrations on an ill-timed retirement plan that was addressed to me in the mail. I proceeded to severely damage this package by hurling it at a window repeatedly until a kitten walked underneath the target and got nailed in the head. Subsequently abandoned packet-hurling for shredding each and every page in the pamphlet, and felt much better.] So Mr. Truax [mon prof de francais] has kindly offered to telephone the foreign language department and see if I can't retake this test-o-doom. I was remembering so many answers as I walked out of the building that it's not remotely amusing. I am rarely [if ever] denied that which I set my heart on months in advance.

It's kinda funny.
August 24 2005
I think that it is kinda funny that Riverdale has to go to Ohio to play games because no one here will play them. when i was in charleston i went to this nursing home to visit with the residents there. well this guy named james overheard that i was from the big tn. he apparently played football in tullahoma and knew who riverdale was. i told him that we won the state championship this past year and you know what he said? He said,"yeah, because you cheated. you all are a bunch of cheaters." now how in the world does this blind old man all the way in charleston, south carolina tell me that riverdale is a bunch of cheaters. i thought that was funny.
tonight was fun at starbucks. i love my friends and how we can play on a certain situation for the longest time.good times.

* She thought General Motors was in the army.
* She thought Meow Mix was a CD for cats.
* She thought Boyz II Men was a day care center.
* At the bottom of an application where it says "Sign here:" she wrote "Sagittarius."
She Was So Blonde...
* She took the ruler to bed to see how long she slept.
* She sent a fax with a stamp on it.
* Under "education" on her job application, she put "Hooked On Phonics."
She was So Blonde...
* She tried to put M&M's in alphabetical order.
She Was So Blonde...
* When she heard that 90% of all crimes occur around the home, she moved.
* She thought if she spoke her mind, she'd be speechless.
* She thought that she could not use her AM radio in the evening.
* She had a shirt that said "TGIF," which she thought stood for "This Goes In Front."
She thinks Taco Bell is the Mexican phone company.

My bro is coming to Oxford tomorrow! Something with his school, where he gets a few days off, so he'll be here tomorrow night...so us guys will all probably hit up some Ajax or Chili's or something....fun times...
Tomorrow my seminar meets at 4pm...I hope it's not going to be a super-huge burden. With the classes I'm already in, I couldn't take much more, but I have to in order to GRADUATE in December...
At least ShawnB and I have Psych tomorrow. It'll be a breeze.
Ran out of interesting stuff to say, imagine that. Peace!

I have been to all of my classes and have got the run down of all my responsibilities for this year in Grad School. Here are the highlights:
Quotations from professors that explain my classes:
Class 1 - Advanced Topics
"Blah blah blah...drone drone drone...blah blah blah." (This continued for 3 hours; no break.)
Class 2 - Social Research
"I'm not telling anyone toleave graduate school, but..."
Class 3 - Mass Comm Theory
"Slknw jbkjbnsvnjk theory bsdfihsidf jknjksd kjnsd theory jadfbczj theory." (Yeah, I stilldon't know what the class is about."
Class 4 - Sociological Statistics
"You teach yourself. Do through chapter three. See you next Wednesday."
I also teach several lab sections:
Dr.Husni (department head): "You will be teaching photojournalism and layout and design classes with Dr. Cheers. Never take him for a class."
Me: "Ha ha!" (whole-hearted)
then...
Me: "Yeah, I'm Dr.Cheers' lab instructor."
Allen (fellow grad assistant): "That sucks!"
Me: "Ha ha." (Note the lack of exclamation point.)
and finally...
Me: "I need the old syllabus; I'm taking over Dr. Cheers' labs."
Tim (old lab instructor): "Dude,I'm sorry."
Me: "That's not funny anymore."
But truthfully, I can't complain. I love to read and write and hang out with good friends--and being able to do 2 out of 3 ain't half bad. It's going to be a great year.

i need some friends that stay out late. i'm wasting away in my apartment each night. can i go out by myself? will i meet people that way? will they be the kind of people i need to be meeting? or is it just this period of vacation that's making me feel useless? when work starts back next week will i feel like being out late at night? who knows...
i've had my rest and i've had my fun, now can i please get back to work! is this a sign? there has not been any other job that i have been wanting to get back to so much (except for camp.) so camp and church...hmm. have i ever mentioned what i feel God leading me to in the future?
does it seem strange that i write on here as if i'm actually talking to someone? and i know that i'm the only one that will read this. don't they usually send people like that to an institution? what's wrong with me? can i write anymore nonsense? who are they?

This is where i've worked the last 2 days. I do enjoy it. All I do is either work the register or prepare ice cream and smoothies. easy & enjoyable work. I'd like to be there the rest of the forever
There is also this talking trashcan that comes out every now and then. It is very very funny to watch the children mess with it. The first time it came out while I was working they were putting their shoes up to it's side and stuff. They also spray water in it, or pour water on it. it's funny when parents video tape it all too.
Who would've known that a talking trashcan could make my day a little bit brighter.
I am going to the beach on Friday. I'm excited!

Not bad for "Hump-Day."
August 24 2005
Does anyone else think that term should have more than one meaning?
Anyways. My homework load took a slight upswing. *boohiss* Ah well. So is life.
I missed ED this morning. I woke up at the time I normally leave the house, so I said to myself, "Oh well, you're going to be late no matter what. No use rushing." So I got to school late enough that the attendance office told me not to bother going to the last 15 minutes of class.
Wehoo!
Why does your brain do that? Or my brain, anyways? [The waking up thing.] I mean, when left to my own devices on a school day that is a bank holiday or something - I will still wake up at almost exactly the same time I'm used to waking up to go to school. Now, I often times roll over and go back to sleep - but I always just snap awake right at that time. And if I sleep through my alarm or fall asleep after my alarm has been turned off, I will undoubtedly wake up at the exact time I'm supposed to leave.
Crazy.
Anyways - work was work. Pretty boring. At least I got to work with Megan all afternoon. Learned how to set up a screen. Yay!
For dinner: went to McAllister's, placed a to-go order, flirted with the really pretty college guy running the register, came home, and am now enjoying a great turkey sandwich. MMM.
Argh. It's 9 and I still need to do some homework. Ciao, lovlies!
finally

this thing finally let me on. i also finally got moved in. classes are crazy and i am unable to get some things done that i need to. oh well. hope everything else is goin great for everybody.

so here's a story about me. when i was in high school, there was this guy named (dan). now dan was an atheist and despised religion. i, on the other hand, was a "Christian" who went to youth group and did all the retreats and so on and so on.
the problem came about when dan confronted me (in friendly terms) concerning some issues about Jesus and Christianity among other things religious. in fact, this was a common debate between all of us in percussion.
however, i didn't have the answers. as a matter of fact, i looked pretty ignorant.
ladies, guys, this presents a problem. the problem is standing up for our faith, for our convictions, for what we believe in. Eva Longoria won the "Teen Choice Award" for breakout actress for her role on "Desparate Housewives". there's something wrong and it's in the high schools. who will stand up for Christ? who will say something is not right? who will be strong, stand in the line, take the punches, but remain standing strong? let that be us.

ANYHOW! prayers would be great, thanks!

man. so today i straightened my hair...who knew what a response it would provoke? there was a collective gasp when i walked into Biology today. woot for me. i love my hair straight. but then came 5th period. Mrs. Petrone ate my lunch. and i cried. and i almost quit choir. but then, i very calmly and cooly explained myself, and i got out of trouble. and i hope things will be different from now on. anyways, i heart Spanish class. and i can't wait for formal. but i hate it when my friends are douche bags. not cool. but anyways, church tonight, which is always a good thing. my mom baked me chocolate chip cookies when i got home, so that made my day a little better. but all i can say as a summary of my day is praise God for struggles. for once in my life, He tested me, and i passed with flying colors. so i am uber-excited about the game friday night. i loves me some football games...or maybe just watching certain people play...but that's beside the point. i love school. and i love english. and Tyler Tsoumbos is my saving grace. if it weren't for him, i think maybe i would go insane. he always cheers me up after choir. so three cheers for Tyler. so. yeah. that's about it.---Cari
p.s.--Quote of the Day: (in Spanish class) "Before you marry, look at what you're doing..." think on it for a bit.
p.p.s--- "do not put puffy plush peeps in your mouth, young lady..."

What do you do?
August 24 2005
What do you do when you really like someone but you don't know how to let them know? What do you do when you made a complete fool of yourself in front of this person? What do you do when you tried to get a relationship of some kind started and it failed with this person? What do you do when you like someone that it wouldn't be "cool" for you to date them? How do you let them in? How do you express your feelings that you have for them?

YOu know you are a regular when the people you recognize are the ones who are either crazy (legally) or homeless. I've spent probably a total of 20 hours in the last week at Starbucks trying to get work done since Mosaic doesn't have offices... and the people i see there as much as me are literally the crazy ones... What does that say about me? I promise I wouldn't be here nearly as much if we had offices... Gregg swears to me we will be in a place by September 1... a week... I laughed out loud when he said that... Context for those who don't know... we've been looking for space since FEbruary 1.... DOn't see us finding space in a week... FOr those 5th floor peeps... look for me when you come in... i might be hiding in some corner... check to make sure i am not rocking back and forth... My perfume can be labeled... O' de Cafe. ;)

For now...I am temporarily jumping back into my Russian studies...удивительный! ("Awesome!" pronounced "oodivitelniy")

My surgery is tomorrow at 8 AM, and I am absolutely terrified. Everyone keeps telling me that it's a routine procedure and nothing ever goes wrong, but still, what if something does go horribly wrong?? For goodness sake, they are cutting me open in only 18 hours! I've never been more scared in my entire life. And there's only one person that has ever been able to calm my fears, and they are no longer by my side because they didn't want to do it anymore. I wish with everything I have and more that that person was here. I want him to hold me and tell me that everything is going to be okay. But he's not here, and I'm in this terrifying place without him.

who would of thought i'd be so excited to go back to work?! today i started back at world outreach nursery. i was gone for a year working at special kids. God had blessed me so much with this job! i walked in and my boss asked if i could for sure work wednesday mornings, and then she kept asking me about other days! so i will be working tuesday nights, maybe tuesday mornings if they start a class, wedneday mornings, and saturday nights. along with any days i can sub. so whoo hoo! i love that God is sovereign and provides for all of our needs. and i loved seeing all the people i used to work with! they are great. and i was blown away by how big the children have gotten. some of the parents even remembered me! that made me feel special. i always enjoyed working there. it is great!
