Rain and computers

Note: some of you may have noticed this before, but I, ocelot61, use cool colors and fonts for my posts, to distinguish them from Levi's. I am not Levi, just so you know.

It has been raining for about five days straight. What with walking to classes and walking to the caf and walking to computer services and walking to the practice room..... I've given up being dry. Even though I enjoy getting rained on, it starts to feel a little tedious being soggy. :) Oh well, the rain is really fun to run in.

And my computer broke this morning. As in, I now have a loaner from computer services and my computer is being sent into Gateway to get fixed. Why do the computer services people assume that since I'm a girl I know nothing about computers and talk down to me making the questions about was was wrong more confusing than if they'd just asked it using the right terms? Anyways...

On a more positive note, chapel this morning was really good - talking about integrity, and being honest with ourselves and repenting of when we aren't truly cultivating love for Christ in our hearts. And that one way to cultivate that love is to meditate on how repulsive and helpless your sin is, but Christ saved you anyway. A convicting message to think on. :)

Busy, busy, busy! (Or maybe just not interested in leaving posts [Maybe due to no responses] hmmm?)

This week has been beautiful. The sky is bright blue and there is no wind. It is still really cold though. Without the clouds to insulate, the heat just vanishes. It has been around 28-34 degrees this past week and there are frozen puddles just sitting around being frozen while sitting in full sunlight. (I don’t think they realize that they are supposed to melt when sun hits them, very disobedient.)

Lets see, what interesting things have been happening lately. Oh, I know, last weekend Jordan and Dad were up here so that was stupendous! So far, it is the best weekend this year. Other than that, I have my first math test in about 30 minutes and I probably should be studying but I find the material pretty straight forward so it is tough studying stuff I feel I know. I guess I will see very soon. The last thing is that I woke up today with a terrible sore throat and it hasn’t gone away after I got going on the day.
It hit me very quickly and has made my day very uncomfortable. I skipped my weight lifting class this morning so I could sleep some more in the hopes of getting better.
Also, I almost overdosed on vitamins this morning so I am now peeing yellow.

My Psychology class is turning out to be strange. I feel like it is more of a history of the differences between male and female and so far I haven’t learned much new stuff except that there are a lot of people who did “significant” studies in this field and that I need to know there names for a test next Tuesday.

Tomorrow evening I am leaving with my CORE to go to winter camp south of Seattle. It should be a great time and I was really looking forward to it until I got sick this morning. Please pray for my health.


Ian and I are getting along quite well and I have very few qualms with my life up here at Western. God has blessed me so much; I can’t even begin to describe it with words. I have this incredible desire to be a blessing to others and to help people. At times I feel like bursting with this desire. I want the love of Christ to flow out of me and touch others. But it is not always like that, there are many times where I feel drained but over all I am loving life up here. My friends are multiplying and growing stronger and I am very happy. (Most of the time) So far there haven’t been any big tests or projects due and that could be part of my light spirit.

Well, I have to get to the test now, so “chow”!
