Long Time No Read

Hey all. It's been a while hasn't it :)
I just randomly felt inspire to write a blog post so here I am again.

So I'll try to catch you up on some of the happenings in my life. I'll start with fall semester of 2010.

I was taking 3 classes. Math, Reading 142, and Golf. In the beginning I was enjoying all of them. But then I started to fall behind in Math (which was really irritating because I'm usually pretty good in math) because I had to focus ALL my time on Reading 142. I was stressing out over it!
So here's what happened next...

There was this project that I had to do all by myself because my joint partner in the class had dropped. I had to pretend to be the Executive Director of a Nonprofit Organization of my choosing. So I was trying to figure out what I wanted to pick as my nonprofit. So I picked Human Trafficking. That is a definite growing problem in the world! We most certainly need to be more aware of it! Anyways, I found a nonprofit whose purpose was to bring awareness and stop human trafficking.

So I worked really hard on this project because I felt passionately about it! We had to make a presentation with a PowerPoint and everything. So I did. I knew that I didn't speak out to well and spoke really fast so that people couldn't even understand what I was saying (I was supppper nervous! I hate public speaking!) and I also realized that I didn't do the powerpoint correctly, the way she wanted it. So I was trying to prepare myself for a C or even a D. Guess what I got............. I got and F! Can you believe it!?! It was just plan ridiculous! She put a little note telling me to come see her in her office and I was like "How am I suppose to feel like I can even pass this class now?!" (from the beginning this class has been hard. Not just for me, but everyone in the class thought she was hard.) This was a community college, reading 142 class! This is not supposed to be THAT hard. Yes it's supposed to be somewhat hard, but not ridiculous!

So I figured out that I could drop with a withdrawal. So when I got home I spoke to my mom and Rachel about it and they strongly suggested that I drop the class. I felt like a failure. I have never gotten anything less then an overall A when a class was over and here I got and F on an assignment, and then I dropped. I felt like a complete and utter failure! But now I know differently. I still don't feel all that great about the whole thing, but I'm slowly getting over it:)

Wow. I've typed a lot. I think I'm done for now. But I'll maybe I'll feel inspired to blog again soon:) Then I'll catch you all up on more.

Life...

Why does life have to be so hard sometimes? Or so very complicated?
Why can't people get along?
Why can't people listen?
Why is it so hard to be friendly?
Why are there feelings of unsureness?
Why is there annoyance towards others?
Why are people stupid?
Why can't people understand?
Why do they fly off the handle when you haven't even said anything bad?
WHY?!?!?!?!?!?

AND DON'T GIVE ME THE ANSWER BECAUSE THERE IS SIN IN THE WORLD 'CAUSE I ALREADY KNOW THAT!!!!!!!! I don't even need answers. This is just venting.

Spiritual Gifts

So in my bible study we're going through the spiritual gifts and which ones we have and are we actuating those gifts.

So far these seem to be the gifts that I have. I little unsure about some of them. Maybe that just means I need to grow more in that area:)

Helps
Mercy
Service
Giving
Wisdom
Encouragement/Exhortation

So what do ya'll think? Would you say yes to most of these? Or no? It doesn't really matter what you say though, because if it's a gift God has giving me then he will help me to grow more in that gifting:)

We're not done going through this study of Spiritual Gifts these are just the ones I think I have so far:)

:)

It's good to be loved by Jesus:) He's awesome:)

And that's that.

I've officially decided that I will not like him.

And that's that.

A conversation between cousins.

This all started when I saw my cousins status on facebook and couldn't resist commenting on it.
and this is what it turned into......


My Cousin's Status: "You and me going fishin in the dark"

My Comment: "What If I don't want to?"

My Cousin: "then we go fish in day time"

Me: "What if I don't want to go fishing?"

Cousin: "then im going to drag you behind my truck and watch your skin rip off as i go 160 down the highway"

Me: "How are you going to get to California and then drag me to Canada to drag me behind your truck?"

Cousin: "i'll drive myself down there and personally tie your ankles togethor and tie the other end of the chain to my bumper and watch you die"

Me: "Wow. That's a little sadistic. But what if I get to you first and sneak some sleeping drugs into your pills and then tie YOU up to the back of a truck and watch You die? Huh?!?!! Whatcha' think'a that FOO'?!?!?!?!"

Cousin: "you cant drive a truck, you cant even drive your mini cooper"

Me: "That was a lame comeback. I can tell your scared! Mwa hahaha! That's right! You should fear your older cousin!!!"

Cousin: "you have man hands"

Me: "Dude you're losing your touch. That was a really lame comeback. You should really work on that. Oh and you might want to put some lotion on your woman hands."

Cousin: "you have to much baggage im sorry"

Me: "I'm not the only one."



And thus that concludes the conversation.

Haircut, again

So every once in while i get this desire to seriously cut my hair, even if I've already cut it somewhat recently I can't help it! I start getting REALLY annoyed with how long my hair is getting (even if everyone around me keeps on telling me it's short) and I just want to cut it so... I do:) So that's why when Hannah said she was getting her hair cut I thought "Man. My hair has been getting kinda long, maybe I should get mine cut also."

Here's a few pictures, one with just me the other with Hannah and me, for you all:)
