Saturday night

It is extremely late, so this will be short.  Today was the induction weekend for the Ministerial Students, so that was really good.  Again, two more amazing sermons from Dr. Smith.

This afternoon we spent at Heldzingers' house.  We played some charades, watched videos off of YouTube and stuff, and went for a walk in the woods.  Lots of fun. :)  Then Seth and I went over to Schwarzers' house for the evening.  Seth was introduced to Road to Avonlea tonight.  We watched three of those episodes as well as one of Hyacinth Bucket.  That was kind of funny too...  British humor. lol

Anyway, and now I'm off to sleep.  So goodnight!

Happy Sabbath!

This morning started kind of early, but I finished all my homework for Hebrew before class!  It only took 8 1/2 hours...  Ugh, I don't know if I'll survive!

I didn't get much done the rest of the day.  Cleaned my room, which was really needed and went to speech class.  And then vespers at Joe's and after that vespers in the church.  Ron Smith, the Southern Union president, is here.  I really enjoyed his sermon tonight!

Anyway, I'm off to sleep, so goodnight!

Thursday

Today was spent in classes and hours of Hebrew homework.  Ugh...  Not very interesting or exciting. =P And now it is late so I need to get to bed so that I can get up early and finish my homework before 8:00!  Oh yeah, and I'm also initiating a new type of mailing list for this blog.  So if you're getting this by email, you may get two copies tonight.  We'll see how the new one works...  And if you're not getting this by email and you would like to, make sure and sign up using the form to the right!  God bless!

1/18/12

Well, as I recall, I left off on my last post all worried about the test in Hebrew this morning.  It was exactly what I expected, but thankfully I think I did fairly well.  Only missed one little point I think...

And then I had my first assessment in Fitness for Life at 11:00.  I had to run as many laps as I could around the track in 12 minutes.  I did 5 1/2, which is nearly a mile and a half.  But that was only the last part.  I got started, and 2 laps into it, my heart monitor lost my heartbeat!  So I reset it and ran another 12 minutes.  So I ran a total of 16 minutes...  Oh well.

After that, I had to run as fast as I could across campus for speech class.  I got there right on time, but thankfully the teacher wasn't there yet! :)

This afternoon I ran to Walmart briefly, then worked on Hebrew homework with Kayla for nearly three hours.  This Hebrew is going to kill me!!!!!!

Then I went to the prayer meeting at Chatt First.  The pastor talked with me afterwards for a little bit, and I am now the new Bible Worker for Chattanooga First!!! :)  I am really excited!!!  I guess Pastor Dale had told Joe at the end of last semester that if East Ridge didn't pick me up, he wanted me!  So I guess it happened.  This will keep me extremely busy, but it will be a good experience as well. :)

Anyway, after that, I went to the 9:15 joint worship in Thatcher.  Louis Torres spoke and gave his testimony.  It was really amazing!

But now I'm off to bed.  Goodnight!

Tuesday

Wow.  Quite the day.  It started with breakfast, then worship, where I led song service.  After that, I rushed over to the Religion Department for Hebrew Lab.  I was so tired and lost and confused...  I'm seriously worried about Hebrew this semester...  It's been way too long since I last did anything with it!  But at least I can still read it just fine.  A couple of the people can't really read it anymore after break, so I'm glad that didn't happen to me...  It's just knowing what I'm reading. =P

Anyway, after that, I did the homework for my class in PowerPoint.  I have to use the school's computer lab, because you have to do it on a PC.  So I used one of the labs in the science building.  It was nice, because I was able to just concentrate on homework and not get distracted with Facebook and things. =P

After that, my marathon of classes started.  Presentation Technology at 11, choir at 12, Intro to Ministry at 1, and Christian Spirituality at 2.  So I wasn't out until 3:15, then I ran over to the Campus Kitchen to eat some lunch.  I was pretty hungry.  But then I had to buckle down to homework again.  I'm telling you, it never ends!!!  And then we had a SALT meeting at 6:30 tonight, sort of planning for an ongoing training thing / accountability program for all of us graduates.  So that was really nice.  Sitting back in our old classroom brought back so many memories...  Eric said we should just sit there and cry. =P

Katie just started taking Racquet Ball as one of her classes, so she needs to get a set amount of practice in a week.  So we went over to the gym and played that for a little over a half hour.  That worked for me too, because I have to log amounts of exercise for Fitness for Life, so that was nice. :)

Anyway, I need to get to bed.  We have a test in Hebrew in the morning.  It will have the alphabet on it, as well as one of the two paradigms we had to memorize.  Plus a general review of Hebrew 1.  So yeah, I'm really stressed out about it!!!  So goodnight!

1/16/12

I am so happy!!!  I got to do door-to-door work today!!!  It was community service day, and I joined the GYC South-east Group.  We did outreach around the East Ridge Church, passing out flyers for the Forks Over Knives showing.  It was so much fun!

Anyway, then I went visiting with Joe some, introducing him to a couple of our contacts that he might be taking over.  And then we went over to Makay's Used Books.  I found several text books that are for later semesters for a really good deal!

And then Kayla and I studied some Hebrew Vocab.  Ugh, I'm not looking forward to this class!!!

But I'm off to bed now.  Goodnight!

Sunday

So today was kind of random.  I woke up at about 9:15 this morning, but we didn't get up until nearly 10:00. =P  It sure felt good to sleep, though. :)  Anyway, we went to breakfast, then came back to the room and worked on homework.  I got the section of the IDAK Career Match test done that's due on Tuesday.  Then a whole bunch of us went and watched Courageous again.  Since it comes out on DVD Tuesday, this was the last opportunity we'd have to watch it in the discount theater.  So Eric, Katie, Annalisa, Seth, DeWayne, Amir, Stefan, LisaMarie, and I all went to see it at 1:20.  It was the first time for Annalisa, Seth, and Amir...  Anyway, it was SO good!!!  I liked it even better the second time around!  The movie just does not have a Sherwood feel to it, but it is still so incredible!  And as of right now, it is most definitely my favorite Sherwood film.  It's constantly switching between humor and sadness.  There are times when you are laughing so hard you can hardly breathe, and then thirty seconds later you have tears rolling down your face because it's so sad!  And then it jumps the other direction again!  Yeah, anyway, definitely one of my favorites. :)

At 5:00 we went over to Heldzingers' house for a planning committee.  See, yesterday Katie, Annalisa, Seth, Eric, and I all brought a change of clothes to church, so we could go straight out to Sunset Rock.  But Heldzingers hadn't, so Stefan decided we need to plan some things ahead. =P  So we wrote down a whole bunch of things we want to do and started planning our Sabbaths and Sundays in advance. :)  Next week we're going to go on a picnic to Lookout Mountain if it's good weather, otherwise we'll just hang out at Heldzingers' and play games.  And then in the evening is the welcome back party for Southern, so we decided we'd go to that.  We even created a group on Facebook so we can keep up with all of this. =P  And we'll elect officers later.  Yep, we're an official club. lol

Anyway, Seth and I played tennis for nearly an hour this evening as well.  That was cold, but fun.  And now I'm getting ready to go to bed somewhat early!  So goodnight! :)
