It was fun while it lasted

July 29, 2008Wow. Has facebook officially killed phusebox?  I'm pretty sure I hadn't logged on in two years or something, ever since I got a facebook. This site was so cool, and I know a lot of hard work was put into it, and yet another more well known site was able to come along and beat it out. Sad. Should I unjoin since I am obviously not keeping up with stuff here?

Isn't responsibility great?

March 15, 2006

Ok, I realize it has been a long while since I've updated.  But just so you know, I do read all my friend's updates almost everyday because I like keeping up with people.  :)  I haven't updated because I've been waiting for something exciting to happen, something worthy of sharing with everyone.  Also I've been really busy.  And although I still haven't heard back from any grad schools or jobs (and thus still don't know what's going to happen after graduation), there is some excitement next week because I am going to Honduras on another engineering mission trip.  I did this last May, but I am more nervous now because I am the team leader of one of the projects and I am so scared of messing something up or forgeting something important.  Is this what the rest of my life is going to be like?  Designing something with the hope that I don't forget something important and no one gets hurt?  I'm not sure I can take it.  It really is a big responsibility.  Am I ever going to be confident of my own skills and knowledge?  I pray that one day I can be.

Speaking of prayers, we need them.  Please pray for our team, that we travel safely, work efficiently, and serve selflessly.  Thanks!

Hmm, I guess I only have two exciting updates. 

1) I was in Susan (Bailey) Beaird's wedding on March 4th.  It was beautiful.  She was gorgeous.  It was a great day.  And now my two very bestest friends are married.  I pray that God has someone in store for me that is as wonderful as the guys that He has blessed them with.  I still can't believe that me and my friends are old enough to get married...

2) I get to go to Europe!  My dad and I are going to tour with Lipscomb's A Cappella in early June!  We are going to Germany, Austria, Italy, and the Czech Republic over 10 days.  I am SO excited!  The choir director that both my dad and I had at Lipscomb is retiring, so this is like his last hurrah.  Works for me!!!  If anyone has hints about Munich, Salzburg, Vienna, Venice, or Prague, talk to me!

Ok, I think that's long enough for now. 

Until next time...  :)

I think it's time...

January 19, 2006

It occured to me that if I continue on my current path, I am going to graduate college and go onto life having never had a 'real' boyfriend.  Yes, I've had little dabbles at relationships, but none where all the boyfriend/girlfriend protocol were followed.  Not only is this sad, but it scares me.  So far I have managed to either elude the eye of every elligible guy, attract weird ones, or come up with excuses so that whoever might have been pursuing me didn't have a chance.  I don't know what my deal is.  I mean, wake up Elizabeth, if you are holding out for the perfect guy, you are going to be waiting a looooong time (like till you get to heaven).  Ok, ok, fine.  So what can I do about it?  I don't know, honestly.  *Sigh*  I know one thing though, I am going to try to not use the excuse of "I don't have the time" anymore.  Ok, so I'm still busy, but not as much as usual, and how many people do I know that are as crazy or crazier than I am who are still in a relationship?  Yeah, so, that excuse doesn't work anymore.  I'm still going to draw the line on weirdos because I'm not that desperate.  :)  But who am I kidding?  I can be weird...  There just has to be someone out there who can appreciate me with all my little quirks, can laugh with me and my sense of humor, and share my beliefs.  I'm not trying to short change God.  I know that if there is someone for me, we will find each other at the right time.  But can't I at least get a little practice while I'm waiting?  ;-)

Are we only happy when we are busy?

January 13, 2006

Alright.  I have officially completed the first week of my last semester of undergraduate college.  That's weird!!!  So far I can't complain!  I only have 3 classes on MWF!  But knowing me, I'll find plenty of things to fill up my 'free time.'  Why is it that as soon as I have 'free time' I feel lazy?  I guess I'm just so used to being crazy.  The thing is, senior design project hasn't even started up yet, and I know that will take loads of time, and the lab I am going to help out with hasn't started yet either.  (Don't ask me why I volunteered to do that!)  In short, my time will undoubtedly be filled, so why can't I just enjoy it now?  Man, I haven't even mentioned the mission trip, ASME, or Singarama!  *Enjoy it while you can Elizabeth...Enjoy it while you can*  Alright, self, I'll try...

Oh by the way, all the senior engineering students passed that huge test we took in October!  This is huge!  The best part is that I think I got the highest score of all the mechanics folks.  I feel special.  :)

On another note, here are some pics from my friend Ashley's wedding!  (and our christmas pic for you Susan!)

Christmas Break Rundown

January 03, 2006

Ok, so I know most younglings had to go back to school today, but me, being a cool (ok, maybe not cool, but at least older) college student don't have to go back till next Monday.  (Yeah, I don't even want to hear about it MTSU students :) )  So, how has your break been so far?  Mine's been pretty good!  I so needed a break.  I'm not really ready to go back.  I mean, not only is it a return to school, but it's a return to my last semester of undergraduate college.  I have no idea what I'm doing after graduation.  No clue.  And that scares me. 

Anyway, as I was saying, I've had a pretty good break.  I've been able to hang out with friends, see lots of movies with my fam (we like doing that), read, procrastinate on my grad school applications, and play with my new ipod.  And break is not over yet!  I'm visiting Rose-Hulman (in Indiana) tomorrow and Thursday, and one of my best friends is getting married on Saturday!  Man, that is weird. 

Yeah, so I've been having fun.  What have you been up to?  Whatever it is, it can't have been as exciting as rearranging the pantry with my mom yesterday!  :)
