| Well from what it seems, its as if noone updates there xanga's anymore, or cares to read anyone elses. I just wanted to say that I'm home from school now, thank goodness, and I guess if any of you want to hang out you know my cell, so you shouldn't have any excuses, lol. peace homies. | | |
| OK so its only 10am and I had one class today at 9:30 and its obviously done with. So today is already a good day! I should probably update this more often, haha but who cares right? So I decided I would type another one of these entries before I start playing some xbox for the rest of the day.
So basically I haven't been up to a whole lot as usual. I went home for Easter which was good, needed the break since I won't be going home for a little while longer. It was a good visit home because I did something like every night. Thursday night I went with matt, ryan, and my little brother after we convinced him to go, and we watched Stay Alive, which was an all right movie. Then after the movie we went and visited Greg at Walmart cuz he works 10 pm to 7am yea rough... OH I also visisted indiana wesleyan on my way home from school and its an awesome campus, I really hope I get accepted there.
So Friday morning Aaron, my lil bro, and I went to shelbyville to see Steph and Ashley and eat ice cream at Ritters. Then we were talking about what we could do and we got on the subject of tennis and steph was like well lets go play then, which I totally asked her before then to play and she denied it, lol. so we played tennis for a little while till her and ashley had to leave. Then later that day was Kerri's birthday party, which is aarons girlfriend. So we went to her house and hung out for a while which was a lot of fun, because southwestern people are usually cool, haha. We roasted hot dogs and played a little ultimate frisby which was fun times. Well then suddenly BOOM we get hit with tornado weather. So we all ran inside her barn, while she was really scared so her and aaron ran inside the house. I was glad we were all in the barn since I only see 50% of the barns with tops ripped off, haha. Well it started hailing really bad and it was really loud and we couldn't hear eachother talk, lol so it was fun times basically.
Saturday my lil bro and I went to Walnut Ridge and played some golf. We met up with Colten and Ricky and then Lance and Dave showed up. and everyone who will read this has no idea who those guys are lol. Colten is my age and Ricky is coltens older brother and they are all in their 20's, and Dave lives at my dad's house. So anyway we played 18 holes which was cool, got to test out my new clubs. Then when we got back home, Aaron called me and asked if I wanted to eat at Applebees with him, Kerri, Gabe, who is the man, and Anna the foreign exchange student. I had alread eaten so I just went to hang out. Then afterwards we went putt putting and greg and chris showed up, so we all had a good timed.
Then Sunday I went to church with my mom and sang with her at the beginning which is always cool b/c I love singing even though I don't like that church. Afterwards we took her to see Take the Lead for her birthday, which that movie made me want to go swing dancing or take salsa lessons or something along the lines of dancing, haha. Then I headed back up here for school....
Well then there was a week of school and nothingness and then there was the weekend. At first we had no clue what we were going to do, so friday night we went ot JP's and watched the crow and played some euchre. Saturday we just hung out in the rooms for a while, and then around 10:30ish we decided we were going to Thomas' house to hang out and get some of his friends, and his roommate Justin. We got to thomas' house and we started playing beer pong... by the way I don't drink someone drinks for me, and I'm tolerant of drinking b/c most of my friends here do it, and theres nothing I can do to get them to not do it so I just make sure they don't do anything stupid, and I'm always the DD, so criticize me of you want but I won't care. Well then we went to some random girls house and I was immediately turned of b/c most of the girls there were smoking and still in highschool. We decided we would just drive back here and crash for the night so we got here around 6am... haha, and I told my friend Erica I would take/go with her to church in the morning so I got about 3 hours of sleep then went to church with her which was cool because I don't get to hang out with her very often and I needed the experience of going to church. Afterwards we went to taco bell to eat and we just hung out and talked which was good. Shes an amazing girl, great christian, and I hope she finds a great guy who treats her right, lol, but that won't be me so anyways...
That is what I have been up to, minus a little drama, haha, not sure if I'd call it drama, but just some things I told a friend that I had to get off my chest, and I haven't really talked to her since and I don't know how she feels about the whole thing... I just try no to think about it. But other than that things are going great! I only have 2 written finals and then I'm done with classes forever, and they are both on Tuesday so I could leave here early, but I'm not going to leave till thursday because I'm going to miss everyone thats up here and I won't see them for a while... Well I'm done for now, haha noone is going to read all of that, but oh well.... later | | |
| Ok, so what have I been up to? Well not a whole lot actually. Schools going decent. I just found out I could drop calculus which is freaking awesome, considering the fact that I have at least a B in every class except that. I'm also pretty much completely done with withdrawing, I just have to get like one more signature and then I won't have to worry about a thing. It was kind of cool when I was getting everyones signature to withdraw, they all asked why I was and I told them I'm going into youth ministry and they were all so supportive of it, lol, I don't even know most of the people. I guess it's just God's way of letting me know I'm doing the right thing.
So other than school I haven't been up to much else. I don't have a job or anything to keep me busy. So basically I just sit around, usually in Thomas' room, playing games and what not to keep myself busy. Someone asked me to sub for them on the Christian Campus House volleyball team. So thats something else that I get to do now, well I don't think she needs me to sub anymore, but it was a lot of fun the few times I played. We never won when I played but it's ok, maybe it was my fault though? I mean I don't think I'm that bad but who knows.
I'm really glad I have CCH to keep my spiritual life going. It's good to get away from this dorm life at times. If only everyone knew what it was like, lol. I mean it's not too bad since I'm used to being around non-christians most of the time, I can usually handle it. There's other times where I just want to get out of here and just drive. I can't wait till I get to transfer out to a christian college. I really have a problem going to church all the time and reading my Bible, which is another reason I am going to a chrisitan college. I don't know if thats wrong or anything, but i feel like if I go somewhere that requires it to be done I'll do it more of course. I mean it's not that I don't want to or anything, I guess I just dont' have the discipline to do it. Maybe that means I shouldn't go into youth ministry, does that mean I'm not spiritual enough to do what I want to do? Well time will tell....
Well all right I guess I'm going to get off for now. I just realized I need a new picture, too bad my comp is broken so I don't have one of myself, maybe I'll just find a good sunset picture to put on there like I did on my facebook, well see ya later I hope you enjoy this entry.

| Man I am awful at updating this thing! It's ok I'm sure you'll all
forgive me, haha. OK so what all has happened since the last update
hmm.....
Well I had my springbreak last week. Probably the most boring spring
break I've ever had, but hey its a break right? Well starting off on
that Friday was Hausers basketball sectionals, so I went to that and we
won of course, then saturday was the sectional finals, and we won that
too. It was funny cuz I had friends on southwesterns side so I went
over there for the first half, and hauser was destroying them. Then the
second half I went and cheered for hauser and southwestern caught up,
lol, but they still lost.
Sunday I had told my mom that i would sing with her at church, because
she does the music every sunday. That went really well, got a lot of
compliments, even though most people dont' see me as a singer....
surprise! lol. After church I'm not sure what I did, so it must not
have been that exciting, lol. Later that night I had some friends over
to my dad's house and we playe halo for a while, that was fun times.
Monday I met up with krista and brittany around 8ish, even though I
told krista I would go with her shopping, but as usual she never called
me back, lol. We went to Santa Fe and just hung out and talked and
listened to a few of Krista's stories. Then we decided to drive up to
britt's mom's house to get a family guy DVD, lol and watch one of the
episodes. So we drove up there and started watching it, then the
parents started arguing, lol. Krista and I just sat there watchin
family guy trying to tune out the arguing. Then we left and went back
home.
Tuesday I just sat around the house most of the day and then had a
small group meeting at Hope's Point, which was pretty good. Then I went
home and got some sleep, cuz on Wednesday Ryan and I drove all the back
up here to my school with his van so that we could pick up this big
fish tank stand that we bought. We left at 9 so that we wouldn't waist
the whole day, and we got back at around 3ish, filled up his 75 gallon
tank and my 55 gallon tank and got all that set up. Then I'm pretty
sure later that night I went into town with my lil bro, and then met up
with greg, aaron, courtney and keri and hung out at starbucks for a few
hours, that was fun times, just sittin hangin out and listenin to my
lil brothers random comments that made no sense, lol.
Thursday again I dont' think i did anything till later, because
everyone was still in school so I never got to do anything till later
in the day. Well at least that night I got to go play soccer with some
people for the first time in like 8 months. It was great, we had 9
people so we split up into 3 teams of 3 and one team would sit out
while the other two would play. It was really good and I wasn't as bad
as i thought i would be. Then after that was over, I drove into
columbus to go to Arni's and visit with some people I used to work
with. I got to see Megan who is a great friend of mine, and I
hadn't seen her in a while.
Friday after everyone got out of school, greg, chris, finke, and keri
met up at Aarons house and watched Shrek 2 which I had never seen. Then
later we started to watch the Incredibles and Courtney finally showed
up around 11:30, lol. So we hung out a little while longer then we
left. It was pretty fun times.
Saturday was another day of basketball games, regionals. Hauser won
both of their games again which means the play in semi-state this
saturday. I won't be goin to that b/c it has the 1A schools and the 4A
schools so it will be packed. I'm hoping hauser wins, because then next
weekend they plan at Conseco for the state finals! And I'll be going to
that.
Sunday I got up to go to a meeting at Arni's, lol, even though I dont'
work there, I took my friend Kevin cuz afterwards we went to work on my
front bumper, which by the way didn't end up working out so it was a
complete waist of time.... But I got to see stephanie at the meeting
which was cool, and a lot of other people too. Then after we got done
working on my bumper I headed back up here to school.
Haven't really done much of anything so far this week, lol.. I mean its
school, and there is nothing to do in Angola. By the way for those of
you that I havent' told, I'm switching majors to Youth Ministry, and
transfering to a Christian College somewhere, not sure where yet, but
greg and I are gonna try and go to the same one. I just feel like God
is telling me Mechanical Engineering isn't what I'm supposed to do, and
he would rather me do His will. I just need prayer on finding a school
and hoping it is the right one.
Well I think I'm done for now. I'll be home next weekend probably, as
long as hauser wins this weekend. So, I hope everyone else is doing
great!

| Ok, well.... I guess I'll update this thing, its 2:45 am and I have
class at 8, 9,11, and 12 tomorrow. Yea I'd rather not say why I'm still
up... its pretty inappropriate and I'm sure noone else wants to hear it.
So anyways, where to start.....? Well second semester isn't too
exciting so far. I've already skipped three classes which probably
isn't good, but oh well. I have calculus four times a week at 8 in the
morning, and I have world civilization at 9 on monday wednesday and
friday, and at 9:30-10:45 I have introduction to mechanical engineering
which so far has proven to be the most useless class and I'm really
getting sick of it and i"ve been to it three times.... then at 11 I
have techinical communication which my teacher is nuts but shes cool
thats why I picked her, and at 12 I have psychology which is gonna be
rough, but I like it.
Today wasn't the best day, kinda depressing actually, but I'm still
alive so it is a great day. It all started when my chair broke.... yea
I know sounds stupid right? well my mom got me this sweet office chair
for my room, well someone broke one of the legs off of it somehow? well
it has 4 others so it was ok, then someone broke another so it only had
3, but it still worked, then today the 3 broke off............ I'm not
gonna lie I was pretty pissed I seriously thought i was gonna beat
someone to death. And its weird, b/c I'm the only one who didn't think
it was funny.... Then on top of that my xbox controllers are starting
to not work. Yea I know big deal xbox isn't life. Well here at school
there isn't much to do so I play xbox, and those controllers are like
$40 and I'm not in the mood to freakin spend that again.... I also lost
a euchre tournament with my friend, and that wasn't very exciting. Then
for dinner the guys I usually eat with already ate, so yea I had to eat
alone. And then on top of that I go to bed at like 11:30, then....
yea..... stuff happens and I'm freakin awake right now....
I guess it isn't all that bad but when you combine them all one after
the other it really started to get to me. I tried to keep myself happy
though. Luckily I got the chance to talk to some really cool people on
the internet, one of which I rarely ever get to talk to which is sad,
but its ok cuz it makes it exciting when I do get to. We also had a
great talk about just personal stuff, like who I like, and school, and
relationships and what we thought of certain things. It was really
good.
Ok so now that I'm not so depressed I guess I can tell you a few other
things I've done. Well my dad came up over the weekend cuz his truck
was havin problems so he left it in ft. wayne. We went and watched
Glory Road which was pretty sweet I liked it a lot. After that we went
to Joe's Crabshack. Our waitress was pretty sweet. Literally, she was
pretty and sweet, lol. I mean just the name Josalyn. So anyways we
talked to her a little bit, and it was close to closing time for them,
we ended up talking to her for an hour or so which was great. She
seemed like a really great girl. I may never find out though, lol. I
found out she goes to school in fort wayne but she really lives like 7
miles down the road from me. I dont' really have anyway of getting a
hold of her though so I may never see her again, which I guess is ok.
On a more religious note. I think I'm doing much better spiritually.
I've given a lot of things to God and I think he has blessed me in many
more ways. Its just been really good I guess. actually I know its been
really good. Well I can't wait to go home on the 27th and go to the
concert at the fairgrounds with all of my close friends, it'll be a lot
of fun. Then in february the Christian Campus House is going on a
winter retreat up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I went on a fall
retreat which was pretty awesome. So the winter retreat should be
pretty sweet too. We'll just have to see how it goes. Well, man I say
well a lot, lol.
Ok in closing I'm gonna give a few shout outs, cuz umm... everyone's
doin it, funny thing is, these people will probably never see this.
Thomas(guy accross the hall)- You're the man and I'm glad you live
accross the hall from me, thanks for trying to get me to go to class,
and thanks for lettin me stay at your house while I was up here working.
Justin(thomas' roommate)- You can't be the man cuz thomas is, lol,
however you are pretty awesome at halo2 I'm not gonna lie to ya. You
are one of my best halo2 partners, don't forget about that tourney we
didn't just win, we dominated
Stephanie- You are awesome, don't let anyone tell you different, you
are the coolest person in the world, and probably the sweetest girl I
know!
Ashley- Thank you very much for the talk we just had, you gave me a lot
of hope that I didn't have. It always helps to have someone like you
tell me the things I needed to hear. thanks!
Walt- you are one funny guy, haha, i didn't tell tone you stole those honey buns, haha
and thats all I have to say....
