It's a story of a father's amazing love. I've never seen anything so touching.
In list form? I think that might be impossible, but I'll try...
Kittens are adorable. I miss Bonkers...when Mandy found my stuffed animal kitty that had fallen down onto her bed, tears almost filled my eyes.
My ankle is getting better. Slowly, but surely, I'll be back to tip-top condition. I didn't go to practice today because I know that I can't really do anything on it just yet.
I didn't make it to the Platform meeting today, and wont be able to make the meetings until rugby is done. I feel bad about that because I'd really like to help out, but there isn't much that I feel I can do. Sad.
Cell phones that beep to inform you that you have a voice message that you haven't listened to are really annoying. For quite some time today, Mandy and I searched the room for Jen's cell phone because we heard that obnoxious beeping. Well, we soon discovered that it wasn't Jen's cell after all, but that it was someone's across the hall.
I'm eating Oreos because they're sitting here at my desk.
I'm sitting here at my desk because I just finished creating the most wonderful Facebook group ever.
I created the group because Ashley and I decided that it was very important.
I'm going to finish this venting now...I've got things to do...so yeah, this wasn't much of venting at all.
Oh well.
Show us something that takes your breath away.
This was my mom's spring/summer project. I helped quite a lot. We're so proud of it.

those tiny little coincidences.

great things come to those who
look for the great things to happen.

That's the last thing that we discussed. It's interesting in this room right now. I don't know if I want to sit and write of if I want to be an active participant in the conversation. But anyways...Amelia thinks that she knows just why I'm joining rugby. No one really knows why. I don't really know either because it was some very strange sort of divine intervention. You're probably wondering how exactly rugby could have anything to do with divine intervention, but it does. There's so much to it that it wouldn't make much sense to even start explaining. I want to hang out with a lot of different people. Luckily today I was able to hang out with Sally. She helped me to "cope with the adjustment" of living in the dorms. Ha. It was interesting. We also had a great conversation while we had some chow at the MP. I didn't get nearly as much accomplished in the room as I thought I'd have done. Mandy showed up and got all of her stuff put away and the futon set up in less time than it took me to get most of my stuff in the room. Wow. I really felt materialistic. Even now, as I sit here at my laptop while Amelia, Jon, and Mandy chat, I'm consumed bye the amount of crazy items all around me. My prayer flags are sitting here; I should work on them. I'm satisfied with my altar. I don't want to freak anyone out by calling it that. (((I'm trying to have an intelligent stream of consciousness...and there's some crazy conversation about dating and guys farting and I just don't know what is really going on))) I should surrender to this intenseness. Fin.
I'm in Marquette and I'm already having more fun that I had even predicted! I've gotten to see several friends, but haven't had time to really hang-out with any, but that's okay. I really should use my time wisely and I should get some more stuff put away. I just had to check a few things online while it was on my mind...anyways...I'll write more later.
What was (or is) your favorite subject in school?
I always loved English...I suppose that's why I've decided to teach it. I really enjoyed psychology in high school and I'm taking a psych class this semester, so that should be fun. I always enjoyed French class, but we never really learned much. Hopefully I'll learn a little more this semester...although I could possibly test-out of the class. But back to the question--my favorite has always been English...I have two lit classes this semester...I have a feeling I won't have a whole lot of free time. With all of the classes I'm taking, I have 18 books. That's a lot. Hopefully I don't become overloaded...and hopefully I don't neglect my responsibilities as a student...that is, afterall, the point of being away at school, is it not?
I've had LIveJournal, BlogSpot, some other one that I can't remember the name of, and Yahoo360 before I stuck with MySpace. A few weeks ago, Michelle told me about Vox and I really liked it. Ironically, today--the day I decide to start my Vox account--is the day that Facebook starts blogs. Now I'm utterly torn. Fortunately, on Facebook, you can link your to your blog...So I'll link this one and I'm going to quit blogging on MySpace.
There are many things that I'd like to write about now, but I'm really in a time-crunch. I have to finish packing EVERYTHING and do some other shopping before I leave tomorrow morning. I also have to stop at the bank to make a rediculously large withdrawl :-(
I'm way excited to get back up to Marquette!
What albums are in heavy rotation for you right now?
Because I like all kinds of music, it's usually pretty difficult for me to chose what to listen to. Most of the time I'll just shuffle my Creative Zen, but sometimes I need to hear more of one artist. John Mayer, Maroon 5, Norah Jones, Jonny Lang, and Mariah Carey are always good choices for some long listening.
