Broken and Fragmented

This week was really nice.
I had an average start, with a excellent "end." So far my weekend couldn't be better! Sleeping in late, and spending time with the Lord. What else could I ask for? I'm so glad I have what I do through my faith. He breaks me to my core, and tells me exactly what I need to hear. Amen!

My weekend is pretty full of nothing. Meaning, I have lots of things going on, but not a whole lot to do. Tomorrow (today) I am headed over to a visit family from church and help them with their computers. I love it.

I should start my own computer repair and maintenance company. I wouldn't be very successful though, because I don't like to charge people for my help. Only if I have to buy something do I make them pay. Why should they pay for something I happen to know a lot about, when they don't know anything about it? GeekSquad over prices everything.

In closing, I am hoping that you're having a good week and that you'll have an even better weekend! Go out and enjoy the nice fall weather.

God Bless.

Are bees really that busy?

The term "busy as a bee" could describe me right now. Between school, work, church, friends and family I barely have time to take a nap. (Although I fit that in no problem tonight!)

School has been going really well, and hasn't been too hard yet. I can feel calc about to become a huge burden though. Science and Business Seminar are very interesting classes and I am glad I have to opportunity to be in them. Calc? It looks good on a transcript, more then anything else.

Today I realized something. You can spend all day watching football without even having any cable package! Granted you can watch what you want if you do have cable, I did almost all of my homework to the sound of men bashing into each other for a little leather ball. GLORIOUS!
I love watching football. I just wish we had a team that could win something.

Short week this week, I'm pumped. Mid-term is already here. What is up with that? How the time has flown. This year is going well. Almost better then expected! Keep it coming!

Save the Planet

This weekend was Eden Prairie Homecoming weekend.
I however, spent the weekend away from the high school chaos, and with a great group of Christian believers in Detroit Lakes. The Castaway Club camp ground is amazing, and I am so glad we had the opportunity to use the grounds again this year.
Senior year hits me in the gut, time and time again. This weekend it was on Saturday night. That was my last fall retreat with Grace Church. I am a senior, and I will be leaving the group next year. Wow.
Another thing that hit me, was the support in our senior class at church. Not how amazing it is, but how it isn't there. Class of '09 has been through so much, we never had the chance to grow as a class. Not only that, but there isn't much chemistry between everyone. I have many friends in my grade, but not any super-duper great ones.

That was the hardest thing for me this trip. I realized I have no 'best-friend' within Crave. It's difficult for me to admit it, but I think it's true. Sure I've got buddies that I hang out with, but I have no one that would save me a seat on the bus. No one that would check in with me if I was looking like I was down. As much as I want that, I'm okay without it. I will continue to be who I am, checking in and saving seats. It would just be nice to have someone close to me, return the favor.

On a lighter note, I really truly did enjoy the weekend. I am not saddened what so ever by missing the homecoming dance, as fun as they can be. Church is such a stronger importance in my life, I had no problem missing a dance.

School is getting crazy as the classes continue to develop more complex and build on the review of the previous course. Homework is building up, and so is the stress!

Bring it on. I've got God on my side.

On and between weekends

I love weekend with a passion.
Time to my self, to do what I want. But what I love more is Church Retreats ON the weekend! This weekend is fall retreat "Save the Planet" at Castaway. I'm super pumped. I love retreats, fellowship and flag-football!

Next week Wednesday is see you at the pole. I'm going to see if I can talk with Khan (Conn) about it . I want to advise him of it, not that he doesn't already know. It's been happening since September 1990.


School this year isn't so bad. Classes are tough, yes...but nothing I don't think I can handle. I just need to keep my priories in the right order, which I haven't been, and everything will get done.

One day at a time.

Buckle Up -- I value your life.

Quick and Painless

Senior Pictures today.
They went very well, I'm very happy with the results. I went to a local nature preserve and took about 125 pictures. Nothing too time consuming, very fast. +

Just like this year is going to go by...very fast!

Bon Bons.

I had such a great day today compared to yesterday. Yesterday was rough for me, from the starting of a new school year, loads of homework (which I forgot about), and still training into a new job I was beat and downhearted.

Today? Complete opposite.

I really enjoyed myself in Bus Seminar and did all my homework before having the church group over for a bonfire!

I love bonfires, and I love the church group. Having them together was amazing. Church was going to be called off due to a leaders meeting but I saw no reason to cancel if it could just be moved. So, fifty mass texts and many more e-mails later, I had forty people at my house.

God is good! It was exciting to have that time of fellowship amidst the new school year. Good to get focused with a solid group of Christian believers. I am excited for SYATP, "Save the Planet" and T.R.U.T.H. (Bible Study at school). I think this year is going to be a HUGE influence on my faith. I can feel it already!

Bon Bons (two meanings, this post is the latter):

The Beginning of the End, before the Beginning

First day of school? Right now.
I'm pumped actually.
Physics, Business Seminar and Calc.
Not too bad I don't think, with an open third.

Senior year. Oh I have I longed for this year.
I'm ready to leave District 272 all together.
And to do that, I need to finish it here.

Let's do it.
