Its been way too long!

Hopefully I will have more time to write this week, because I haven't written in a long long time.
Short story: My sister is getting married on Saturday. This quarter is stressful thus far. Keeping busy with work and such.
More detail and pictures later. (:

HOME

This quarter has been very busy with friends, work and keeping up with school work. I haven't had much time to write, but here I am now. School has been an awesome experience so far. The friends I have met so far are the best and God has really opened my eyes to many things in the past couple months.
I managed to accomplish many great things while at college:
#1: Take my friends to get PHO (it is their favorite food now )
#2: Go to sleep at 4 in the morning (multiple times)
#3: accidentally sleep through class
#4: spell my professors name wrong on a cover page for a paper ( funny story actually)
#5: Start a private club in the Ashton stairwell ( for eating bagels)

These are just a few of the many great things that I have done at SPU (:

Book Suggestion:
The Reason For God by Timothy Keller

Movie Suggestion:
Batman: The Dark Knight
( If you like an intense, scary movie)

TV Show Suggestion:
Psych

Merry Christmas!

Thoughts On School

The school experience has been fantastic so far. Being in a new place with new people and a new schedule has been weird, but wonderful at the same time.
Lately I have been thinking a lot about what I want to major in and it has been a
very hard choice. I am praying that God will show me what he wants me to do with my life.
For now, I am thinking about not going back to school next year, at least for the first quarter, and doing a little traveling. I know it won't be any cheaper than going to SPU, but that is something I know I want to do right now and I am going to try to do it.

Explanation of the pictures:
#1 : Eating PHO : I took some of my friends out to eat PHO because they had never eaten it before . They all loved it as they should because its amazing.

#2: Rubber Face: This picture was taken at Beth's cafe. I will give you the directions on how to make your face look like that in a picture.
Step one: Relax your face. Gently massage your cheeks to loosen them up.
Step two: Shake your head really fast, making sure your lips and cheeks are loose and free flowing as you shake your head
Step three: Take a picture ( or multiple pictures) during the step two process and make sure the flash is on or it might not work.
ENJOY!

#3: Red Robin: I went to Red Robin with my friends Josh and Mark. Mark decided to tell the waiter that it was my birthday. I am almost positive he knew it wasn't my birthday ( not even my half birthday) but he still brought the gang out to sing me ' happy birthday' and give me a fudge sundae. He told everyone that it was my tenth birthday so people were very confused when I left and saw that I was definitely not ten.

Toms Shoes

Just a quick post to let you know about this really cool
shoe company called "Toms" that gives a pair of shoes to someone in
need for every pair that you buy from them! There was in event
at school today where you could buy them. I encourage you to
go to this website and check it out and let me know what you think!

These are the shoes that I bought

It's been a long time

It really had been a long time since I wrote in this blog. I just didn't
think that many people read it so there wasn't much motivation to write, but
that isn't fair to those happy few who enjoy reading this.

School is still great! I am actually in my USEM class right now. It is
a class about the psychology of your family. The teacher's name is
Donald MacDonald and he looks like Santa.
I also have a politics class with a teacher who is half deaf, so he always
has to cup his ears when people speak in class and he always has a funny
look on his face and says "EH?" over again until he understands what you
are trying to say.
My other class is tricky. I can't remember if I signed up for "Design Fundamentals" or "Hug a Tree" because pretty much all the videos we watch are all about recycling and being nice to the environment.

We made up a game this weekend which invloves a soccer ball and the ping pong table.
Basically, you play 'around the world' with the soccer ball and no paddles, BUT you need
to make up a sound effect or a small phrase to say whenever you touch the ball.

Things are going really well so far!

School

Things are still going fabulously! It is a sunny day and my room has the nicest view that overlooks the water and Ballard/ Fremont. I love my classes. They have not been to terribly difficult and that has been a big blessing.

I took a few girls swing dancing on Sunday night and we had an blast. I ended up running into a few people from Tacoma while I was there, too (:

First week of college

SPU has been a fantastic experience so far and I am really excited to see what the year will bring. Classes started yesterday and are very interesting. The people I have met and become friends with are really awesome.
Orientation last week consisted of crazy dance parties, meeting with a small group and going to the SPU mens soccer game. This is going to be an awesome school year and I hope to be able to keep you updated on my life.

Goal for the school year: Learn to play the mandolin better
