Pre-Finals Week!

Hey guys!
On my lunch break... I quit going to Thompson Hall to eat so I could save some money. So now its burgers and deli meat for meals! lol
I haven't gotten tired of it yet!

This week is going to be crazy. I can just tell...
I have two final projects that I need to get done before this weekend, three essays to prepare for, three history quizzes to take before Wednesday at 5PM, and one final exam to study for. As well as plenty of tedious homework assignments in my stupid religion class (No. I don't think religion is stupid. Just this class!). I'm going to need to stay focused all week and stay on task otherwise I'm not going to get things done.
I'm not sure I can study in my apartment either b/c I'll become distracted with people going in and out, my roommate playing XBOX, me wanting to play XBOX, and tv...
I'm thinking I may go to The Crossing church and study there in the Studio. It has some nice couches, and I can hook my laptop up to the tech booth and get on the internet that way as well as listen to some tunes while I'm studying. Then when I take a break I can bring my XBOX and play a couple of games of halo there in Stage 46 or the Studio...
I like that idea! haha

Last night I went to Studio and got a very unexpected surprise! There was an inspirational singing group putting on their fall concert in the main auditorium!
Now I'd like to say this:
I am by no means racist. So when I say this next thing, don't take offense, because I'm not being racist about it.
The entire choir was black! The whole service was a typical Southern Gospel church setting. A lot of jumping around and shouting! If you were sitting, you clearly didn't have the Holy Spirit inside you! It was probably the single most time I've ever felt the closest to God! It was a very powerful and moving experience! I honestly can't say I've ever had an experience quite like it!
Overall this past weekend was GREAT!
I had the Gospel Choir on Sunday, and on Saturday I went to visit my sister up by Chicago. Her church was putting on this thing called 'Walk to Bethlehem' and we did that. It was AMAZING! It basically is a VERY realistic reenactment of Jesus' birth. We were even verbally abused by Roman soldiers!
Overall it was a good weekend from a fun stand-point, but from a work stand-point... Not so much! I didn't get any work done on my projects... So I've really gotta crack down on those.

Oh ya! On top of all this school work, I also got scheduled to work on both Tuesday and Thursday. These two days are my major homework days because I only have one class and I'm done at 9AM. So then normally I can spend the rest of the day doing homework. This week though... Not a chance.

Anyways!

My break is almost over, and I need to pack my bag and grab something else to eat. So I'll try and post more this week but I'm making no promises with everything that's going on!
I want to get back to posting some scripture and giving my interpretation of it... So keep checking back!

God Bless!

Tactic Squad--Take 2

First of all:
I made it into the clan. I had tryouts last night, and did a head-to-head game against CrawMan. I played terribly, but [thankfully!] they still let me into the clan.
Anyways, my avatar was approved and the emblem was supplied to me.
Here's the finished product!

Tactic Squad

Hey guys this is going to be a short blog.

I have homework today before FIRE (the campus house's college-aged ministry) tonight.
My real point in posting this blog is to show someone the avatar I created for his clan.
Tonight after FIRE and small groups, I have tryouts for a Team Objective clan in Halo3. It should be fun, I just hope I'm good enough... I skipped my History class today to get some practice in, but my games were plagued by people quitting. Either my whole team would quit or the other whole team would quit. It was impossible. So I got NO PRACTICE for my tryouts tonight! Great.

So now I have to get busy on making a flow chart for my Final Project in IDT205. My project topic is "How to become a pro in Halo3!" My professor thought it was hilarious... I'm pretty much his favorite! lol

Anyway here's the avatar for ZeeSee09's Tactic Squad clan:
(I used PhotoShop to create this if anyone was wondering...)

Oh and by the way... It's not completely done. There's going to be the clan's emblem where that text it.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it melt?!

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!..."
Well I missed the promised blog on Saturday. I'm sorry!

So the one thing I really wanted when I came back from Fall break was for there to be NO SNOW. I didn't want to walk through it at all.
I didn't get my wish...

But it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

I made a new friend over the weekend. Geoff. He's a pretty cool guy. I can't wait to get to know him better, and see our friendship grow since I've been pretty lonely lately.
More on this later.

Time to get ready for class!
