Minnesota...still.

I am still in Minnesota, I have been here for about six days now. I got to visit with my grandparents and my aunt and uncle and cousins on my aunt's side, and that was so great! I do not get to see them as often as I like. Steven came and met them, too, and then on Sunday we headed up to his college where I am at this point. We're studying in the library actually, but seeing as I was falling asleep because I have to read about "Research methods for multi-cultural psychology" and I'm on some medication, I decided to take a little rest. It snowed, as the previous post shows. It has gotten quite cold here, too. I've been to classes with Steven, been babysat by his roommates, walked all over this town BY MYSELF, and laughed really hard. The week has certainly been good so far.
Today I walked to the store because, well, there were some much-needed items that I lacked. I had a chocolate craving! You should be proud of me, I don't eat much sweets. So now I have peanut butter m & m's, air heads, and reduced fat wheat thins. Ahhhhh...so good. But so bad. I will fast next week.
I will attempt to post some pictures here soon. Patience is a virtue.

A memorable flick


It slipped my mind! We watched 3:10 to Yuma a few nights ago, and as disturbing as it was, I loved it! It really was a good, psychological western that had many lessons to learn from.
Not to mention Christian Bale is the best actor ever. EVER.

Watching Hannity and Colmes

It's October twenty-fourth, in the year of two-thousand-and-eight.
The setting is Alexandria, Minnesota.
It is late evening. The weather is so cold. It is dark in the out-of-doors.
I am watching Hannity and Colmes. Such a wealth of information.
All is well in the world. I just wish it were warm.

Today

Today was a good day. After some last minute Minnesota shopping, I got to meet up with Tiara. We haven't gotten together in about two months so it was great to finally get to talk with her! We talked for about two and a half hours straight and I got a lot off of my chest, I love talking with her so much! She is such an amazing woman, really.
I also bought "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers. I really want to make devotionals and reading my Bible more of a priority in my life because it needs to be.
I got my Multicultural Psychology in the mail this evening.
I must admit I am somewhat on edge once again tonight. My stomach is not pleased with me. I am convinced one day it's going to completely turn on me and leave my body to fend for itself. I don't think it likes food, but unfortunately, my body does.
And now I must get some sleep once again.

Love Story

This song is stuck in my head, it has been all day. It is one of the cutest songs I've ever heard; "Love Story" by Taylor Swift. Maybe putting this down on paper will help it stop going around and around in my head. But then again, maybe I don't want it to stop.


We were both young when I first saw you. I close my eyes and the flashback starts: I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns. See you make your way through the crowdand say hello;
Little did I know That you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles, And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."And I was crying on the staircase,begging you, 'Please, don't go.'
And I said,"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"
So I sneak out to the garden to see you. We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew. So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while. 'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter, And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet," But you were everything to me; I was begging you, 'Please, don't go,'"
And I said,"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'
Romeo save me - they're tryin' to tell me how to feel; This love is difficult, but it's real. Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of this mess. It's a life story - baby just say "Yes.'"
Oh.
I got tired of waiting, Wondering if you were ever comin' around. My faith in you was fading When I met you on the outskirts of town,
And I said,"Romeo save me - I've been feeling so alone. I keep waiting for you but you never come. Is this in thy head? I don't know what to think-"
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said, "Marry me, Juliet - you'll never have to be alone. I love you and that's all I really know. I talked to your dad - go pick out a white dress; It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"

Almost Done



Andrea, Christy, and I went out into the desert last night and had pint night. Ice cream pints that is, and actually in my case frozen yogurt night. We parked on a hill up on the west side, opened the back of our SUV, ate, listened to music, bundled in blankets, and admired the beauty of the city lights and God's creation. It was an amazing night.
My first set of classes end on Sunday night. I have this huge paper due for my Theories of Personality class that day, and I am working nonstop, well almost anyway, to get it done by then. I'm on page 13. I probably have only 3 pages left!

Next week is my fall break. All week long.

I leave for Minnesota on Thursday and I cannot wait for this! I might get to see Jen that night, and then for the weekend I visit my grandparents and aunt and uncle and cousins. On Sunday (of next week), I will go up to visit Steven for a week. That will be so much fun I really am so excited to go! I don't really care what we do, I just want to be there.

I work early again tomorrow and I will get up at 4:30am so I suppose I should go to sleep. Tomorrow is a full day and I need my beauty sleep.

Until next time...

Bella

So it's very late. Or maybe very early. Either way I have to get up for work in less than five hours. But I'm quite wide awake.
I watched Bella tonight. It was such a good movie, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone. It edified the concept of family, it was positive yet realistic, and above all it had a blatant pro-life message.
Needless to say, I was very proud of it. And me, for watching it.
Watch it.

Control

Do you ever feel like you have no control over your life?
First, let's get past the fact that my life is God's hands. Yes, I know this.
But I'm supposed to have some say in my life, yet I don't feel as though I'm qualified or capable of doing so right now.
And that, ladies and gentleman, is frustrating. Maybe a little bit sad.
