...At this I leave it

Well, it has been a pretty interesting semester. At the beginning, I thought it would be so hard writing 2 blogs a week but as I got into it, it was not hard at all. I just think deeply for a while and what I'm going to write about pops right up in my brain. As a matter of fact, I actually like writing blogs now. That doesn't mean I will continue after today though.

This class as a whole has been easy as well. Especially for our fourth paper about Hamlet, I thought I was going to get eaten alive but NO!!, I actually made a B. I've learned a couple of things in English II which I don't regret but I am kind of upset that UT Austin (the school I am transferring to) does not require me to have it. It's all good though because I believe NO KNOWLEDGE IS A WASTE!!!

Suitemates

I just know it is not that hard to stay clean, especially when you are living with other people. I lived in San Jacinto my first semester on campus and it was lovely. I never had a problem trying to study or sleep because I had my own room. I still had a roommate though but he was quiet also, for the majority. We got along pretty well.

I decided to move this semester to Tower to see how I would like it with a roommate and it's honestly not bad at all. I think the only thing to consider before having a roommate is if s/he is cool or not. Now, our suitemates are just so crazy. They never put tissue in the restroom, they leave the toilet all dirty, and man, they lock our door to brush their teeth. I could understand if they were "sitting" or something but if you're just brushing your teeth, why stop me from brushing mine by locking the door. The one thing that ticks me off is that they forget to unlock it, so my roommate and I have to pick the door everytime. The semester is almost over though so I'll be alright.

IN THE LAND OF THE FREE!

America, America, America! Land of the free and the home of the brave. Brave indeed!! That's why so many people are in the pen today. People just have so much "false" courage to kill, rob banks, terrorise, and so much more. I really love my country but I have to honestly say that this nation has issues. Even though we may be models for other nations and known as the world leader, we could always use some improvements in some areas.

For example, what is the issue with American Airlines and their flight cancellations? So many people have missed very important events and some are stranded in various places. These "some" that I mention include my brother who came to visit his girlfriend in San Antonio for a week. He has to return to Fort Worth today to resume work but his flight has been cancelled. He was going to have to rent a vehicle to drive back home but since I have a car (which I just got: Thank God!!), I am taking him. Easy for him! What about people who went to differnt states and got stranded!??

I'm finally getting my Hair done!

I've always wanted braids but never had a chance to do it. Every time I decided to, one thing or the other would pop up. First it was my brother; I was living with him when I was in high school and he did not even like the idea of braids. He said, "You are not getting braids while you are under my roof!" I was really mad but hey, there was nothing I could do since I was living with him. After that, I thought about growing it out and braiding it when I got to college. That was a good plan until my girlfriend said she did not like my hair big, so I cut it. I started growing it out again and during that time my girlfriend's hair was short. I really wanted to see how she would look with long hair. She said she liked it short and was not going to grow it long for a while. She later agreed to let it grow. After two days, I went to see her and tell me why she cut her hair again. Then she told me to cut mine again? Ooo no she didn't!! I did not cut it then, but I later did; not because of her though, I just go through hair phases, exploring different styles.

So, I've been growing my hair out since December '07, thought about cutting it twice but I'm glad I did not. I really got tired of picking it out but that's not an issue anymore. I'm finally getting my hair braided!!! Tons of people told me not to because I look better with a low cut. I could not agree any less, I just want to try something new and since my mind is finally set on it, nobody can change my decision.

Happened before... It's happening again!!

Well, here I go again with these discissions that are extremely brain cracking. When I was in high school, I could not figure out what college I wanted to attend for nothing. I actually came to a point where I decided not to attend college at all because the pressure was too much on me. I eventually came to Texas State; not for the best reasons, but we all learn somehow. I came to this school with my high school girl friend which I thought was going to marry me one day. I learned alot here at Texas State University though and regret not a bit of it.

Now, I'm in the boat of making this school decision again. I currently switched my major from biology to nursing and I can not find the right school to transfer to. Truly enough, there are a lot of nursing schools around, but I have this criteria which makes choosing so difficult. First of all, I do not want to attend Baylor or TCU because they are so costly and UT... I just do not want to go there for some reason. Well there's UT Arlington, but I do not want to go there because I finished high school around that area and I do not want to see the same 'ol' people. You see what I'm saying now? I also do not want to attend a Division II or III school, which eliminates a whole lot of schools. I've been accepted to Stephen F. Austin but I now have second thoughts about the school. I just need help!!!

IONO

Man, I really don't know why things are how they are. You know in those situations where someone comes up to you and ask you if you think you are a good person, in can honestly answer yes. I know I'm not perfect though and I agree that I can make some changes to make my good, better and my better, best! With all I do to be who I am, there has got to be something I'm doing wrong to make people turn against me all of a sudden. I really don't know what it is though, so if you have an idea, please let me know.

Sometimes I think to myself, "why have friends when they gone let you down anyway?" I mean, I've had a girlfriend before and that definitely didn't stop me from kicking it with my boyz. It's crazy how some people will ditch you when they get into a relationship. On the other hand, I also think it's crazy how you get into a minor conflict with a real close friend and you friendship dies instantly. I really don't know, I've tried being by myself before but that aint good at all. I'm a survivor though, so ima keep on trying!

1 1 Six

Well as I've taken a stand to proclaim the good news of Jesus in every way possible, that might dominate in my blogs now. Sorry if you were expecting something else from me but I just came back to my senses that proclaiming the Gospel is really the only job Jesus Christ gave to His disciples before physically leaving the world, and since I am a disciple of Christ, that is my duty as well. Honestly, I don't know why someone would not want to serve and live for Christ. He was kind enough to give up His life so that we might have a direct phone line to heaven. Through His death, we no longer have to offer sacrifices for forgiveness of our sins because His blood was used to cleanse us from all uncleanliness.

Living right for God can be a little difficult sometimes though, strictly because the flesh (what we desire to do) contradicts with the spirit (what God wants us to do), but it was designed that way to get man to seek God more. So even though it is difficult, we can not give up and do what we know is wrong. God knows each mans ability and He will definitely not put more than we can bare on our shoulders. If you read this blog to the end and did not get out because you care less about what I am talking about, know that it is for a reason. Take a stand!! And whatever you are going to do, do it to the fullest!!!
