Enjoyment of life...

How much more fun would we have if everything we did was treated with excitement? If we were excited and full of curiosity, than even the everyday "blah" would seem amazing! That's something I want to work on. Whether it's studying Accounting or working on a project, I want to view it in a fun and passionate way. Now go and enjoy life!

Quote that spoke to me today.

"Yes, there is a lot at risk when you take action. But don't fear the heartbreak that could happen so much that you never know the beauty of what might have been."

I need to heed the advice...

Austria

I might POSSIBLY have an oppurtunity to get an internship in Austria next summer...how cool/fun would that be!!

*speachless*

Went to the liquor store last night with a friend and saw a girl with a video camera. Even though it was her 21st birthday, I really don't think a video camera was a good thing haha. Made for a funny moment though!

I love deepness....

"Maybe...happiness waits for all those who cry, all those who hurt, all
those who have searched, and all those who have tried, for only they can
appreciate the importance of all the people who have touched their lives."


I got that in an email and i absolutely loved it! You never know who you're touching with your life. So instead of just figuring that you aren't, keep it up because there is definately someone out there you don't know of that looks up to you.

2nd day of semester

So far so good! The 8:30 class I had this morning was pretty interesting in that the prof showed us a movie about cheating. "What's more important, honor or grades?" That brought up a few good questions. While most of the show was presented in a highschool, the last part took place in an Ivy League college. That truly is the question! What's more important? Grades or integrity? In most instances I'd say grades. I know this isn't the answer anyone wants to hear but it's true in today's world. Whether you're going into college or the work place, you either need grades or a diploma. If you want to get into a good college you must have exceptional grades! If you want to get into a good job you have to pass your classes. What do both scenarios have in common? Grades. Schools don't care that because you have integrity or honor you got an F or a D. Jobs don't care that the reason you don't have a diploma is because you refused to cheat. How can schools crack down on cheating and plagarism when the very reason students cheat is for the grade that the school system uses in the first place?!?! From what I hear, back a long time ago school was fun. Teachers made teaching with less pressure on grades and increased the fun in actually learning! Until you give students a reason not to cheat, reduce the pressure to get the right grade, cheating will continue and there is nothing anybody can do about it.

1st day of classes....

First day of classes totally went well. I didn't realize how many people there were on campus until I was in a hurry to get back into my car...always when you're in a hurry everyone clogs the sidewalks lol.

I'm hoping this semester should be pretty easy! I have two Hospitality classes which I hope are easy. I had one today that didn't seem to bad. I have a family science class deal with Kelly Welch that is totally going to rock! Plus I SWEAR there had to be 1o girls for every guy in about every class I was in! I just have to get the guts to actually open my mouth and have words come out! Woop woop haha.

Night all...

Grace, why did you delete your account?

Confidence

I need to find confidence. I'm so tired of fearing things.

On the upside I got hit on at Texas Star today. Reason for the "Confidence" part at the beginning is I don't have a flippin' idea how to get a number. Just ask? It can't be that easy...you would think girls would want some sort of different fun way of being asked for their number rather than just being asked or some corny pick up line. So I just wrote her a note and gave her my number instead. *Gulp*

If I can find my confidence that I have seemed to have lost somewhere back in the day...I really think I'll enjoy and love life a lot more...*looks under couch*

Peace...

Why?

Why is it so hard for me to be social?

Dell has decided to recall a bagillion billion <-----very large number....of their laptop batteries. Unfortunately I believe mine is one of them. I'm hoping it won't take years to get another one considering thousands have already called and informed Dell of their battery issue. Now I just have to do the same thing haha.

Hopefully today will be a good day. A friend of mine, Joshua Schumm, is back in town for the school year after doing missions stuff in Florida. Not sure what we'll do today but hopefully something fun!

I think it'd be kinda fun to have this huge readership (even a word?)! Than I might post more and beat Sam!!! Woohoo! Sounds like fun to me! Can't wait 'till you get here Sam!

I love rain....I could sit outside and use ALL 5 senses just watching it....yeah I know...I'm a nerd!

Bought 3 books yesterday. Two of them I saved well over 100 bucks buying them online! Woohoo go me!

I'm kinda wanting to get plugged into some college group of some sort. Chi Alpha is great and all but I dunno. It's the actually getting myself to go part that I struggle with. Than when I do go I'm too shy to have any fun anyways. A person my mom works with is heading up a college group at The Vinyard Christian Fellowship. Man, that brings back some memories of when I was small haha. I guess I get over being shy or I just deal with it...argh...

I've seemed to have lost my confidence...so if any of you know where that went please feel free to let me know! I'd greatly appreciate it!

Two more posts till 100....might be able to catch Sam if I post something once a day though...hmmm :-P

Themes...

There are a few themes in life that I keep running into. They act more like non-escapable walls rather than just mental road blocks. Sometimes I just put face posters or "pretty" pics on the walls so I don't notice them for a while. Some of them are just so STUPID that it's beyond my minds recollection why I even worry in the first place. Girls, daily life, friends it's all sucking. I don't really feel like going into it right now but will later....peace

Story

I was waiting for you to update first Sam! Sheesh...lol...jk

So yesterday at work I was talking to my manager and an older gentlemen named Charlie. Really cool guy. Anyways this really pretty girl was over looking at the butter. Charlie told her to get one of everything...man did she light up...HUGE smile! She preceded to go down another aisle and her shirt said "love stinks" on the front of it. Charlie made sure to ask her about it haha. This is what she said, "Love does stink sometimes, especially a lot right now!" I was sad because she seemed like a very cool person, yet I was angry because A LOT of girls feel that way. The jerks of the world ruin everything for everyone else! We start off in a hole dug by some moron who could care less!

I won't end on a sad note! I'm most definatelly going swimming before work today haha....so I'm outie...

Peace

SAM YOU BETTER UPDATE ALSO HAHA
