Busy?

So I've been kinda busy lately. Well, let me rephrase myself. I SHOULD be busy. I'm just too lazy to do anything necessary. That's right. I've got senioritis... BAD! At least there's only... wait for it... 110 days until Graduation!!!!!!!! Who's excited? I'm excited! So I don't really have much to talk about... but Hampton made me feel guilty about not posting and being creative.... gr. Curse his creativity!!!

yes... I'm cool

So there's snow outside. and you know what I'm doing? well... You see... I'm sick. like sneezing, coughing, nasty to be around... sick. so going out in the cold... not really the best idea. So what have I been doing you ask? oh! I'll tell you what I've been doing.... YOUTUBE!!!!!!!!!!! Yes. I have yet again fallen subject to the black hole that is Youtube. I'm not complaining... oh no! I love youtube. watching A Very Potter Sequel is always a fun way to go. I've also been listening to people do covers of music! It's quite lovely. Want to share my experience? k.

Kara Palso (knew her in 7th grade, but then our school zones got switched around, and she's one of my best friend's best friend. so she's awesome. check her out)

David Bohnenberger (sp?) - also one of my best friend's friends. I heard him sing when I voted for him while he was trying out for Glee. He's quite rockin I must say. So check him out too.

Subscribe, favorite, comment, like... or just watch! They're both awesome and so very nice.

This is all assuming that people actually read this blog. Which may or not be accurate, but I really don't care.

SO ANYWAY! In all this craziness of being stuck inside my house, I should really study for my midterms. I'm not of course. because that's what I do. I'm lazy. but hopefully I can pull myself together tomorrow and study so I don't fail German. So wish me luck!!!

Worship

Hey world wide web of noone!
So I've discovered that the closer I get with my relationship with Christ, the more I WANT to listen to Christian music. It speaks to me in such a different way. I know that there are many kinds of worship, but music is my FAVORITE way. I can use my God-given talents and turn them back to him.

What am I listening to now? Came to my Rescue- Hillsong, If We've Ever Needed You- Casting Crowns.

College

So I know it's only December, but I finally got accepted into college! USC and Winthrop both accepted me :) yay!!!!!!! Hopefully, if teaching fellows loves me enough, I'll become a Gamecock :) yeahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Just thought I'd put that out there... cause I'm a little excited. :D

stream of conciousness

Yeah you heard me! I'm a senior! How crazy!!! I feel like I've grown so much since I was a freshman. Maybe not physically... but definitely spiritually and emotionally. This is so insane though. In a few months... I'll know where I'm going to spend the next four years of my life... IN COLLEGE!!! It's seriously blowing my mind.

So on a very irrelevant topic, it's too cold for November. It feels like it should be snowing. but is it? NO! gr

CADDY SMELLED LIKE TREES... I like trees....

^^ The Sound and the Fury. confusing, but somewhat enjoyable. That's what my fall oral is going to be on. sounds fun right? wrong. I'm not particularly looking forward to that adventure. But, considering that I've gotten 100s on all of the quizzes relating to said book... I think I don't have much to worry about.

So I'm pretty excited. Why, you may ask? Well be patient, dear friend, and I will tell you. BECAUSEEEEE Chris is getting this game for the XBOX Kinect. It's pretty much a dance party. In honor of such a wonderful invention... we're having a dance party after the Mauldin tournament Saturday night. It should be a fun time. Although... there's going to be a massive amount of white boy dancing going on.

So yesterday I got a lot of college application stuff done. I've already done turned my USC application in (please please please accept me :)) Yesterday I sent in my app for Winthrop and all I have left to do is turn in Francis Marion, App State, and those darn scholarship essays. But I'll get it done :) Cause I'm cool like that.

LIKE A G6. LIKE A G6. NOOOOOW I'M FEELIN SO FLY LIKE A G6.

Did you know that a "G6" is a jet plane? who knew??!!! not me I'll tell you that much.

Well sorry if I bored you a little bit. Next time maybe I'll have something more interesting to talk about... but in the mean time.... love, learn, and live <3>

Unfailing Love

Isaiah 54:10
Though the mountains be shaken

and the hills be removed,

yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken

nor my covenant of peace be removed,”

says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

Reflections

This summer has been the most surprising summer. I learned more about myself and about the people around me. For example, I learned that hating people for no good reason at all... doesn't get you very far. People can surprise you when you get to know them. I learned that comparing myself to others doesn't get me very far either. I forget time and time again that I have been made by God for a purpose. Perhaps that purpose doesn't require me to have an IB diploma. Perhaps that purpose doesn't require me to be athletic. Perhaps that purpose doesn't require me to be the smartest in my class. God has a reason for me being who I am, and it's about time that I embrace it. Another thing I learned is that when I'm myself, I make a lot more friends than when I'm trying to be someone else. I also learned that I love Youtube videos :) I learned that it's about time I become friends with my big sister. I learned that material possessions like iPods and digital cameras aren't necessary for me to be happy. Story? I was at mission trip, right? And so when we went to our site I put my camera and iPod and stuff in my backpack. I had my sunscreen and bug spray in a seperate bag so that if it busted, it wouldn't mess anything up. Well, not only did they burst, but the bag opened as well. Now, my iPod doesn't have a working screen and my camera can't take a picture in focus. Does all of that matter in the long run? Will me not having those things affect my life as I know it? The answer: no. I learned that I need to spend as much time as I can with my friends, because before I know it, we're going to be graduated from high school... going to different colleges...living different lives. So this year, I'm a new person. Maybe not completely, but aspects of me are definitely going to be different.

Thanks for reading! (yeah, right.)
