LAME! No one is posting comments!

The Tradition

Okay, so I am about to tell you about the wildest thing I have ever done in my life! First off I need a disclaimer. All things said below are protected under the copyright laws and are illegal for distribution. Do not tell other people! This is secret (and that is why I am posting it on a public Internet blog?)

So last night was the annual Tradition run. This is where a bunch of guys from Edens and Higginson meet and run through campus at 9:00 PM at night screaming and yelling. Then we hike to the observation tower on Seahome Hill and yell for a minute straight. (it is a stress reliever for finals week)

Now you might say that that is not so bad or embarrassing or even wild and you would be right. But what if I tell you that we do all of this while wearing nothing but a loin cloth? That is right. Last night I ran through campus wearing a towel as a loin cloth. I agree, it is really weird and definitely not something I would normally do. I guess you could say there was a lot of peer pressure involved and the stress probably had something to do with it.

Needless to say I am not going to post any pictures of this event! Even if I wanted to I could not get any photos. The event is very secret and is only known about by personal invitation. The reason for secrecy is if people knew they would be waiting with cameras and it is already embarrassing enough, even without having photos of ourselves all over campus. We all met in Sean's room (my CORE leader) and put on our towels and took off everything else, (except shoes). Then we sprinted out the front of the dorm, being both incredibly self conscious and, at the same time, filled with exhilaration at our own nerve! Oh, it was really cold. I mean, really really cold. It is Dec. 5 at 9:00 at night in a northern state and I was basically naked!

Well, that is the story of the wildest, most embarrassing thing I have ever done in my life.

Dorm Room~

So somebody asked to see pics of my dorm room. Here they are.

This is of my room from the front door. I have the right side of the room.

A view from the back of the room looking out the front door.
My desk and closet are the left ones.

My sweet desk with my sweet computer with my sweet fridge and bed. Notice the neat placement of fridge next to bed!

Snow?

(this post was writting on DEC 1st but I couldnt get my photos uploaded until now)

Last night I went to 'midnight sing' where a bunch of people gathered in Red Square at Midnight and we sang Worship songs and Christmas Carols. At 1:00am (Dec. 1) it began to snow! Let me just say my feet were FREEZING! I WAS FREEZING!


So I woke up this morning at 11:00 and there was over 2 inches of snow on the ground. It is still snowing and when you walk through campus it is totally silent. All you can hear is the falling of snow. It's still snowing quite hard and by this evening there will be over 4 inches. Yippee!

A few photos of the campus.

So far, I have started about six snowball wars and have gone sliding down the road on cardboard. Christmas time (with snow) is quite fun. Okay, okay, it is amazing! To all you down in warm California, you have my pity at your lack of seasons.

Anyone Into Construction?

Hey,
Here is my completed room... Hope your jealous, hehehe!!!
P.S- Please post comments on the #57Blog!!!

God is Amazing!

In my last post I told you how I had a lot of stressful things coming up and how I was sick. I received a call from my mother yesterday telling me how there was a group of people praying for the college students during this time.
Today, I woke up and my sore throat is almost completely gone. I feel alive and ready to live. Thank you so much for your prayer and glory to God for His unending love and care.

Also, my speech was today and even though I didn't feel as comfortable as I would have liked, the speech went okay. So now I am done with Comm 101, except for a small paper on my improvements in speaking. Yippee!

Finals Week

Tomorrow is my final speech and the coming week there is quite a bit of stuff due. The bad part is that I am sick. It came down on me over the weekend and nothing I did could stop it. I have been taking so many vitamins it is scary. Nothing helps. I now have a really scratchy throat that hurts every time I swallow and it hurts to talk. Kind of the lamest thing that could happen this week! The speech isn't the bad part since it is only a few minutes. The hard part about this is that I don't feel very good and so I don't want to study or work on stuff. That isn't so bad except I have a lot of big items due this week as well as next.

Final Speech
FSE
Final Math Exam
Build and Race Mouse trap car.
Presentation on Car
Final Personal Project Report

Anyhow, any prayer for health would be appreciated.
