So this week i have been super stressed about everything. i had a final on tuesday, a speech and two papers due on thursday, my mom is really sick, and everything is just not good right now.. the only light part about the week was that i got to take a break last night. i went and saw Star Trek!! it was an awesome movie! ;) even for those of us who were born and raised trekkies, it was satisfying. every actor was spot on with the characters. it was amazing ;)

i suggest you go see it. ;)

hello, all ;)

2 weeks left. are you excited? i am ;) so i have everything finished for is 101 except for the last assignment, which is mail merge. no clue what that is. i'm sure i'll find out.

ooh! i need to figure out what classes i'm going to take for fall. i'll have to go and take the math placement test. can you feel my excitement? haha....

Hi ;)

So this week... well, i can't really remember anything that happened this week.. it was pretty insignificant in my life..

Shadow Hills(my church) is doing this church wide 40 day devotional called 40 days of love. It's pretty cool, We are all reading a book called The Relationship Principles of Jesus. It covers alot of things including the first two commandments: Love God with all you heart, with all you soul, with all you mind and all your strength, and Love your neighbor as your self.

some people say that Christians focus too much on God's love, but our philosophy is that if the two greatest comandments say to love, then isn't that what God WANTS us to focus on?

anyway, so we have like 4 weeks of IS101 left, and to tell the truth, i can't wait for it to be over. this semester has been unpleasant.

Happy Easter

oh hey, sorry, i meant to post on saturday, but i forgot to.

all i can say this week is Happy Resurection Day!! ;) Best time of the year ;) Jesus rose again and finished what was prophesied about him. ;) I love Jesus, who else would make such a huge sacrifice for me, but him?

i have class now, so i will see you all on saturday ;)

yeah.

Hello again....

I'm not really apt to talk this week, but I'll spout off a few things that have been going on. I had an Asthma attack on Monday, was sick with bronchitis Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, had a speech and did well on it on thursday, finished my missing assignments from word, excel, and powerpoint this week, working in the computer lab until 10:30 at night almost every day but tuesday.... and yesterday my co-worker passed away unexpectedly...

So lots of stuff has happened.. and once again I'm re-thinking my career path... Do i want to join Cemenary school and become a career missionary? I don't know. God's plan is still shrowded from my view....

Money issues, concerts, and hectic times!!

HI!!! I'm back ;) spring break was good ;) i caught up on a lot of sleep. One bad thing that happened this week was that some kids that live in the complex above mine, through rocks over the wall onto my car!!! so now i have 4 small dents and a nice scratch! :( also, The kids through a rock that smashed my windshield! I was angry... But I got over it ;) Paying for the windshield to be replaced drained my savings, though.. so that makes me unhappy.. :(


Otherwise, also this week, I overdrafted majorly on my checking account, so after all of the chaos subsided, i had $39 left after being paid, plus i owe my brother the $100 he loaned me to try and cover :(

It's ok, though.. Money doesn't mean all that much to me.. So, i have to eat freezer meals and pbj's for the next 2 weeks.... God will pull me through.

2 chronicles 20:15 says "Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army, for this battle is not yours to fight, but God's."




On a lighter note! I got to see my best friend Matt again last night! Second time in 3 months! He looks really good, he's happy with what he is doing, and excited to be recording their second album for the next 6 months. After that, they are going on tour again. they will be going to the Philippines, and various places around the western United States, and once in Canada ;) Hopefully he can spare a night for my birthday ;) His schedule is even more cramped then mine!!

Chronicles will be famous one day, just watch;)


Also, I guess I should say something about IS101..... It's a little hectic.. I don't know if I can pass it this semester. I'm going to work really hard, though, to catch up with stuff and do as much extra credit as possible... I work tonight until midnight, so I can't do much today after 2.. :(

Sushi, and sushi!!!!

Hello again;)

I really don't have much to talk about today. Class is going fine, i still feel like i am severely behind on everything, and am finding it difficult to get up on time, lately. I think that it's residual from the time change...

We finally got Sushi spayed this weekend, so she's a little quieter then she was before for the time being. Speaking of Sushi, a bunch of friends and I hit up Kobe sushi on Flamingo and Fort Apache last night! 1/2 price sushi, yay!! I love that place, it's so good;)

if you go there, you should try:

• Tiger roll
• Kobe one
• Ocean's 3
• Bee roll

they are my favorite, Tiger roll is spicy though!! Also, if you are in the mood for a big pot of soup, try the beef udon, it'll change your life!!

The Forgetful Mind and Music

I think that it would be beneficial for me to review my schedule during the week to eliminate any unnecessary things that i spend time on. Between working 40 hours a week, church functions, and three very high-maintenance classes, I've become even more forgetful then I ever was before. I think that it would also be good to try and get a solid eight hours of sleep at least 2-3 times a week. Even Superwoman crashes every once in a while...

I can't wait to get back to learning music. Honestly, I think that my mind has deteriorated since I left high school and Choir behind me. I am a firm believer in the theory that music promotes a healthy and productive mind. I can't wait to be in it again. ;)

Powder Palooza and the surprise testimonial

Hello;) I'm a little bad at remembering to post my blogs, but i'll try to remember... So this weekend was very fun. I went to Brianhead, and went tubing. A lot of my friends went skiing and snowboarding, though. ;) My body is still a little sore, but it felt good to be away from vegas for a few days. We got this big three story cabin for two nights, $2000. not bad, considering the cost was split between 30 people!

The best part of the whole trip, though, was the Devotional. For the first time ever we got to here my friend Kevin's testimonial. (for those of you who don't know what a testimonial is, it is the explaination of where your life was before you became christian, how you came to know christ, and where you are now in your faith) I think that it is the most wonderful thing in the world to see someone whose spiritual life was so destitute completely turn around. From playing girls to drug and alcohol abuse and a near fatal overdose, this guy, who is the same age as me, now is a leader in my church college group. he's one that God has really worked through. Some people say that testimonials are unimportant and that the only thing you should listen to is what the bible says. This is partly true, but I think that from a non-christian point of view, I would be more willing to hear the Truth through someone who has been an unbeliever, don't you think?

My Cats and my IS101 class

Hello!! My name is Grace, and Sushi and KittyCow are my cats. ;) Sushi is half siamese, she's a little dodgy, and a little weird.. Cow is fat, haha, he likes to wake me up by laying on my chest. i still love them though. ;)

I am taking IS101, it's a very hands on class, and definitely not one that you want to ignore for very long. I think that my forgetful nature in this particular class will hurt me if I keep going the way I'm going. This next week, I need to focus more on my classwork/homework.

My teacher, Albert Wu, is a nice man, and a good teacher. I'm glad i chose to take this particular section. ;)

Next week is Powder Palooza!!! Shadow Hills Baptist Collegiate groups ski trip!;) I can't wait, it's going to be soooo much fun;)
