I find it hard to communicate to people a lot. I can do small talk and stuff like that but for some reason I cannot take deeper things, emotions and what not, and put them into words. I find it hard to keep some conversations going. I start them and after a few minutes they die. I do not know what is wrong with me. I do not understand. How can life be so hard to talk about? I don't know but I find ways to make it so.

Today Was an OK day. Work at 10am-2pm, got homework done and watched a movie on netflix. Chemistry lab from 2pm-5pm, got my lab work all done and finished my webassign thats due tomorrow. After that I went to dinner, celebrated SMC appreciation with the floor and went back up to Hill. I hung out, read some, took an hour long nap that snuck up on me, and then went to the main lounge to have our floor pictures taken. After that I had small group. We went over Galations chapter 4 which talked about how we are heirs through Christ. After this Daniel Friesien told us his life story which was really nice to hear. I don't know if he wants what he said written down so I will not mention anything, but I will say it was good and uplifting to hear about him.

It's almost time to go to bed. I must study for a bio lab exam some more and get ready for tomorrow so i must leave. Goodnight, and Good Luck.

New at this, so here I go...

Well here is my very first 'true' post on my blog. As you read this you will notice how varied and seemingly incomplete it will be as I am new to this. As time passes and I do this more often I am sure I will become a better writer, person, and hopefully friend and Christian.

Life is hectic. My major, Ecology, require me to take many science classes that are a joy and a curse to take. Sometimes I feel like I will never be able to crawl out from under my growing mountain that is my studies, but somehow I always manage to.

Went to church for the first time this school year. I know, I know, sad. I just have not had the time until now. Well thats a lie, I have had the time I just wanted to use that time for sleep and homework. But alas, I woke up at 8:00am and went to Mars Hill and ended up getting more homework done then I could have if I slept in! Mar Hill was interesting. I am not sure how I feel about this mega church deal and I don't know why. What I can say though is that I did feel closer to God that day, enjoyed the sermon, and loved the music. Next Sunday I might go back again or try All Saints or Bethany Heights. Not sure, only time will tell.

I plan on reading the Book of Ruth in the coming week and spending time looking over it. I read it once a long time ago and have memories of enjoying it a great deal.

Life is going. It has its ups and downs, but overall its been good. I am truly blessed to be here at SPU. My life has changed a great deal. New surroundings, friends, family, places, ideas, and experiances have come my way and I am thanking God for every single one of them.

Well I must be off. Loads of homework to do for this week, God bless.

Here's my homework:

Read 12 chapters in 6 different books
Chemistry webassign
Biology paper
Study for Bio exam
Study for Chemistry quiz
Work on 37five group
and more.

Testing. One Two. Testing.

Hey there person. I was talked into creating a blog by my friend Mark Appledinger (And yes mark I spelt it that way on purpose). I have never done anything like this before so it will be as much of a learning adventure for you as you read about me, as it is for myself. Well I have homework to do now, check back sometime and lets all hope I wont forget about this.
