Go dawgs

So life is crazy. Let me tell about the past few days of my life.

Wednesday Night:
Studied all night long for my math quiz and astronomy quiz which were the next days and also worked on my communications paper that was due on Friday. That was my evening.

Thursday:
In the morning I finished my astronomy homework for which I had not finished the night before because of studying. Traffic was horrid. I only had five minutes to get from the parking lot to class. Hence, I was ten minutes late to class. I missed a bunch of review on the sun (which is what our quiz was going to be on) and then we took the quiz. I don't know how I did but I don't think it was good. But I heard most other people say they put the same answers I did...so we're all wrong, or all right. At least I'm not alone. Math quiz went good, or so I thought (finish this thought later). Between my two quizzes I had a two hour lecture for communications, pretty boring. Then, General Studies! I actually like this class. Got to chat with my teacher for it for a bit (she's a senior at UW). After class a group of us went to Odeguard to a room I had reserved and we studied for Astronomy. Oh my goodness! This helped me SO much!! I hadn't been connecting things from lecture to things from section...section makes sense and lecture doesn't. But everything finally made sense and everything connected! It was awesome. I left study group at 3pm and sat in traffic for 45 minutes (before even getting to the free way) because of the wind storm...and got home around 5pm. Then I studied a ton for my astronomy exam and also finished my paper for Communications.

Friday:
Communications lecture...had to fill out a thing about the readings, of which I didn't do because I didnt have time, but thank the Lord (literally!) because he helped me read through two of the articles and put pretty good answers down for them and so I should get full credit for it. Then we discussed the exam we are having on Tuesday and went through the study guide a little. Then onto Astronomy. Ugh. I don't know how I did on the Astronomy exam. I took about 45 minutes on it (only had 50 min to do it) and they were all multiple choice. There were about 5 that I completely guessed on. And a few more I was hesitant about. Hopefully God gave me grace for my guesses and helped me mark the right ones. I know I won't get an amazing grade...but a fairly good one would be nice. Then math in which I discovered I completely forgot part of how to do one of the problems. It was a word problem. A mixture problem to be exact. And so...when I wrote out the chart on how to answer it...and so here are what my equations looked like:

Percent: x + y = 150
Liters: .80x + .30y = .62

Right? Wrong. It is a mixture problem and I forgot that a mixture problem is different. The second equation should have been: .80x + .30x = .62(150). Dang it.

So I got it wrong. I was very upset because I thought I had gotten both perfect (it was a 2 problem test...each worth 5 points). So I got at least 5 points. Maybe she will be gracious and give me partial credit on it. Who knows.

Saturday:
Keith Ferrin Seminar. Heck yes! I loved it and wish I could have stayed for the whole thing. I'm going to start reading Philippians like he suggested. Gosh. He was amazing. Or at least his idea was amazing and God is really using him and working through him into the lives of others. I left during the lunch break and headed up to Peters. Was able to park behind his house and then hung out with the guys and a bunch of people came over and watched a game that was on TV. At 3:30pm we all walked down to the game together. Half the guys yelling at duck fans such as "you suck!" "You're gonna lose!" "We're going to cook some ducks for dinner!" Haha It was funny. Although I thought someone was gonna get beat up. Thank goodness no one did. Got to the game, row right behind the band. It was a good game! Lots of fun - I wish I had gotten season tickets...will next year. Every time we scored I got picked up by Peter and held as high as he could get me. I thought I was about to die! hahaha Me and this girl Andrea were like "DUCK AND COVER!" whenever we scored because between Peter and Brant we were about to get crushed! Haha But it was sad because we lost. We walked up to the Ave to Subway (was going to get Chipolte but the line was out the door). Then walked back to the house and started to watch Transformers. I only watched about 25 minutes of it before I headed home. But that was fun too. I cant wait till I live up there and can actually stay late. haha It is quite fun. Peter said he's going to try to find me a ticket for another game.

Sunday (today!):
Was going to go to first service but when I woke up I couldnt stand the idea of actually getting up. So I set my alarm to get up for the second service. Church was good...talked to Jeff a bit which was nice. Talked to Mckenzie and Ellen. I miss Mckenzie! And then CHAS SHOWED UP! I was so excited! Hadn't seen him in a long time so it was really nice to see him. I tried to make him say he'd come next week to hear us girls do special music..but we'll see if he shows. haha But it was nice talking to him for a while. :-)

And now I am home after eating a huge lunch and am dreading starting studying because I have so much to do! AHHHH. And I want to visit with my family and Peter while he is home. I miss him. But I gotta say we are getting along a TON better now that he's up at UW and I'm going to UW. He loves introducing me to all his friends. haha I'm "Little Livingston". :-) I kind of like it. He's fun to hang out with. Oh, and yesterday I got to hang out with Elizabeth too! She came over to Peter's house and walked down to the game with us. It was nice seeing her too.

I have a ton more I could say right now - a lot of opinions and...who knows what else. haha But I'll end it with this...God is amazing and has blessed me with a wonderful family and life and friends. And I pray that he becomes more and more dominant in peoples lives because - without him...life is nothing. It doesn't mean anything without him. He is the creator of life! So...doesn't he know the best way to live our lives? I learned a lot this weekend about how God makes our lives so much more amazing then it is without him. And how you can really see in peoples lives when they don't have Christ and see that they do things for no reason...and it just doesn't make sense. And you want so badly to tell them - to let them know that there is something more!! Ahh...gosh. A little fired up right now. haha :-)

Anyways...off to studying. :-) *Patience Lord...Contentment...and HARD work!*
