Holy Cow

What a life, what a world, what craziness, what normality, what ridiculousness. I really shouldn't be this stressed out. God's in control of everything, and nothing is life and death; unless it's actually life and death. But my chemistry paper is not death, my amount of sleep is not death, my messy room isn't death, and my finals aren't death. So really I shouldn't be so grumpy and stressed. And yet I am.. isn't life funny?

I don't want to want an easy life. I want to be ok with changes and challenges and uncertainties. And yet it's so difficult. Ahhhhhhhhh........

Well

I thought I felt like writing.... but I don't really. I guess I'm kind of emotionally drained. It's an interesting feeling. Not one I particularily like. What a week, what a week.

Today I Learned That...

In Turkey, when people "make number two" as my professor so adequately expressed it today, they don't use toilet paper. They use.... are you ready for this?

their hand and water.

Culture shock lesson for the day. Fascinating, isn't it? Even more so that they consider us unsanitary and gross.

Another interesting thing I thought you'd all like to see is the Biola's news today that covers the Equality Ride that came to Biola yesterday.

Very insightful.

Well Will hope that makes you happy for the day that I posted something.

That's Interesting.....

Well Ladies and Gentlemen, another week is over. I'm one week closer to dying and one week more responsible for the time God's given me on earth. That's kind of a sobering thought.

Since I don't really feel much pressing urgency to do anything at the moment, I thought I'd kick back, drink a Henry Weinhard Orange Cream (compliment of Miss Heidi), and write an entry on my blog (even though no one will read it). Probably I'll write on here in Europe and Costa Rica, so I thought I might as well keep it somewhat updated so they don't delete my account or something. Mel's alive and happy, in case anyone (WILLIAM) was worried about that. My room's still a mess and I still have homework, work, and all the usual things to do, but right now I'm not really too concerned about it. In due time, in due time. I think I want to take something with me to Europe and Costa Rica and take pictures with it everywhere, kind of like (actually pretty much like) the gnome in Amelie. That'd be fun, eh? I wanted to do a documentary about what Europeans thought about Christianity and God, but Will pretty much told me I was an idiot and CLEARLY not a film minor, so CLEARLY I can't know what I'm talking about. That's alright, I hear the camera adds ten pounds anyway. ;) The people whose house I stayed at last night told me that it won't really be warm in LA until another month. I'm kinda upset about that. THIS IS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PEOPLE! I want my money back. I can't even wear skirts, that's how cold it is. (what are you, a weatherman?) Well, I think I'll go, as I bought drawer organizers the other day, so now I have another open drawer for clothes (so the three drawers that I do have clothes in won't be so cramped), and I'm pretty excited to move stuff around.

Have a great day all.
