Wednesday Night

Today started at 6:00.  The battery in my little white alarm clock is nearly dead, so I turned on the alarm on my iPod and put it in my dock.  So my roommate thought for sure the fire alarm was going off again when my alarm went off this morning. =P  Yeah, that was pretty funny.  I ate breakfast at 6:30, then prayer by the flag pole at 7.  Then Hebrew at 8 and worship at 10:00.  DeWayne did worship and it was really good.  Then we had a couple more classes before lunch at 12:00.  After that, I was free to do homework.  So that's what I've been doing all afternoon!  I got the 2 page report written that's due tomorrow on two chapters in Evangelism.  (It's posted on my other blog if you're interested...)  And I've gotten a bunch of other miscellaneous homework done.  So just another 85 pages in Case for Faith to read before the weekend...  And more in other books.  So yeah, a lot of reading...  Oh, and I found out how I did on the Biblical Knowledge and Bible Doctrines tests I took last week.  I got 100% on the Knowledge test and 98% on the Doctrines test.  So that was good. :)

Anyway, I'm off to bed.  I'm really tired.  So goodnight!

September 6

Well, today has been way too long for the amount of sleep I got last night...  But it's gone alright.  Hebrew lab at 8, worship with SALT, then classes.  Lunch was at 12, then Dr. Martin's class after that, and then outreach class and outreach.  It was so funny.  All of us were so exhausted today that everything was hilarious.  We stood in a circle holding hands for like 10 minutes trying to get into the proper mood for prayer. =P  Then Hahna and I seemed to think everything was so funny on outreach.  Not sure why, but yeah...  But at least we got some homework done in the car - she read out loud one of our reading assignments.  So that saved me some time tonight.  So we got back at nearly 8:30, then I ate some supper and did my homework worksheet for Hebrew.  And now I'm getting ready for bed.

Happy Labor Day!

Wow, last night was quite the night...  I was just getting ready to hit the Publish button on here, when suddenly all the lights went out!  And of course, when the power goes out, so does the internet... =P  It was nearly 10:00 anyway,  so my room mate and I decided to just head to bed and get up early in the morning to finish homework.  RIGHT!!!!!!!  About 10:30, all of a sudden all of the fire alarms go off!  Yeah...  And it's pouring outside!  But we all had to get out of our nice warm beds and rush upstairs and outside into the pouring rain.  Finally, somebody opened the cafeteria building, so that helped.  At least we could be dry.  I guess someone had broken the sprinkler head in their room, so that was the problem.  And they had to get the pipe fixed before they could shut off the smoke alarm.  So we didn't get let back into our rooms until 1:30.  And my room had flooded, due to the rain.  So thankfully one of the RAs or someone had come in and taken everything out of my closet and off my floor and stacked it on my desk and bed.  So I really can't find anything at the moment...  But anyway, so then they were vacuuming the water off the floor and stuff, so I didn't actually get into bed until 2:00.  I still got up just after 6, so I could get to the caf when it opened at 6:30.  There were only 2 of us students eating breakfast. =P  And then prayer group at 7, which I ended up leading because Daniel didn't show up.  And now 8 am classes are canceled as was the Morning Meditation, so I have a little bit of time to work on homework.  So anyway, below is what I originally wrote last night.


Hey all!  Happy Labor Day!  Yeah, I had to do lots of labor today. =P  Southern knows the true meaning for the holiday I guess... lol

Today started with my alarm going off at 6, waking me out of a sound sleep.  I had worship, then ran over to breakfast when the caf opened at 6:30.  It was pouring outside!!!  So I felt like I had had a shower...  But anyway, then I joined the prayer group at 7 who had joined under the porch roof on Wright Hall.  That was really good.  Hebrew class was at 8, and I think I passed at least the alphabet part of the quiz. :)  Then we had SALT worship at 10, where the electricity went out for nearly 2 hours.  So we were in the semi-darkness until near the end of Dr. Samaan's class.  Then we had Dr. Parker's class and lunch.  And after that, I've been working on homework and calling Dad and Mom and Mr. Musgrove.  I still have another chapter in Christ's Way of Reaching People to read, but I'll do that in the morning...  I need to get to sleep now.  I also have a devotional thought I need to share at the prayer group and song service to lead after that for worship here in the boys' dorm.  So yeah, bed here I come!

September 4

Today wasn't too long which was nice.  I got to sleep in until 8. :)  Then I took a shower and ate breakfast while trying to finish up homework.  Class started at 10.  Our guest lecturer was Dr. Samaan, which was definitely a highlight of the day.  He is SO hilarious!  Then after lunch we had outreach class and then we went door-to-door again.  Hahna and I had 3 Bible studies scheduled for this afternoon, but only 1 of them actually was home. :(  Oh well, that one went well at least.  The rest of the time was spent knocking on doors and nobody seemed to be home.  But I know it wasn't a wasted day...  When I got back, I finished homework for tomorrow, then went to DeWayne's room where we studied Hebrew for awhile and then just talked.  So that was fun.  And now I'm back in my room and getting ready for bed.  Good night!

Sabbath, September 3

So I woke up this morning, and rushed off to Dad's hotel for breakfast.  After that, I drove Dad through the territory that Hahna and I are doing evangelism in.  (Yes, I got to drive his BMW to church and back!  With the top down! :))  Then we went to church.  We got there in time for the 9:00 prayer meeting before Sabbath School.  After church, there was potluck.  Then Dad and I went back to the hotel where I picked up my car and he left for Georgia.  I went back to the church for the Evangelism Rally at 2:00, then after that some of us went hiking on the biology trails until it was time for the Religion departments vespers and softball night.  That was a lot of fun...  I'm including pictures and a video. :)

Anyway, I'm off to bed!  Lots of homework to do in the morning...

Friday Night

Today was quite the day!  It started with breakfast of course, and then Hebrew at 8.  Yeah.  Quite the quiz at the beginning...  I need to work on my alphabet. =P  Then I had to write an essay for the English CLEP test that I had transferred in.  After that, I worked on homework for awhile.  Then DeWayne, Ryan, and I ran into Collegedale to the Tractor Supply store and browsed at shirts and everything else under the sun.  Yeah, that was fun. =P  Then we came back and worked on more homework until I left to meet Dad at Golden Corral. :)  We had a great dinner, then he gave me a long board.  So we rode around in the Collegedale Church parking lot on those for a little while.  Then I took a shower and got changed while Dad ran back to his hotel to get changed.  And after that was vespers, which was really powerful.  James Black from NAD spoke.  Then we had the Ministries Expo, and Uncle Trenton showed Dad around the Wellness Center.  Then I showed Dad my room and he left for bed, so I'm off to bed too. :)  Good night!  I'll be up bright and early in the morning...

Happy September!

Wow, today was quite the day!  I slept in until 7, so I jumped out of bed and rushed off to breakfast so that I could be back in the dorm by 7:20 to lead song service.  Yeah, that was close...  And then Hebrew at 8, the rest of the SALT worship which ended shortly after 9, and then I ran over to Brock Hall to get some ideas on what they're looking for on the essay that I'm writing in the morning...  And then I was back by 9:30 for Evangelism class.  And Convocation was at 11.  It was really good!  Pastor Kevin Kibble gave the sermon.  Then the extremely long line for lunch.  But I was able to finish by a quarter 'til 1, so I had a few minutes to walk to Hackman Hall before my 1:00 class with Dr. Martin.  Then Joe's class was at 2:00.  And he had a special surprise for us!  We've been loaning these Daniel 2 DVDs out to people as well, and we watched that for part of class this afternoon.  And it even counted as one of our outreach hours. :)  So we only had to do 3 hours this afternoon.  After that, Hahna and I hit the doors again for awhile as well as doing a couple of Bible studies.  So it went well.  We're just running out of times to do Bible studies!  But that's a good thing I guess. :)

Anyway, I spent some time with Ryan and DeWayne this evening, then talked with Heather for a few minutes.  So that was really nice.  Oh, and I had to get my homework for Hebrew done...  But now I'm off to bed.  Tomorrow Dad comes to visit!  I'm so excited. :)

Anyway, goodnight!
