crushed

Sometimes I wonder what my friends are thinking.¬† They make stupid choices and don’t realize the magnitude of thier decisions.¬† I realize that I am not perfect either and that God is continually working in my life to make me more like Him.¬† My heart aches when I contemplate the choices that some of my friends have made.¬† What could I have done to help prevent their choices?¬† Did I say enough? Did I say too much?¬† Ultimately their life is theirs and they must live with the consequences of their descisions.¬† I love my friends and I continually pray that they would seek God with all of their heart, soul, and mind.¬† I pray that they might grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.¬† Furthermore, I pray that I might be the a friend that seeks God coninually and that I might act in accoradance to His divine will.

Early Mornings

I promised that I would inform my readers of my school life (or at least my schedule) so let’s begin.

As I wrote a few weeks ago, I took The Life of Christ and have a paper due in March.

Monday morning from 7:30 to 10:30 I have History of Civ II with Pastor Dorsey. I have a paper due for this class.

Tuesday from 7:30-9:30 and from 10:30 -11:30 I have Physical Science with Pastor Dorsey.¬†(9:30-10:30 is chapel).¬† I’m supposed to have a paper… but he hasn’t told us about it yet.

Wednesday from 7:30-10:30 Doctrines IV with Pastor Dorsey; and 10:30-12:30 is Creation v. Evolution with Dr. Cantrell. We are theoretical going to have a paper for Doctrines… hopefully he will forget . However, I¬†do have a paper for Cantrell’s class.

Thursday from 7:30-8:30 I have Teaching Methods and Educational Psychology with Dr. Gordon.  These two classes are directive study and I have approximately 7 projects for Methods and 4 for psychology.  Three of each of the projects are book reports.  Also on Thursday is chapel which is at the same time as it is on Tuesday.

Friday I get a break from my early classes and have no classes… it is so wonderful not to be up at 6a.m.

Aaaahhhhh!!!!!!

I know that you are probably tired of hearing about all the work drama in my life, but my story isn’t finished.

Let’s start on Wednesday - I begin to lose my voice.

Thursday I have the day off and spend the entire day trying not to talk… by the way it was very hard… I always have something to say to someone.

On Friday my voice is better, but wasn’t 100% so I called work a little before 9am to see if I could get out of work.¬† Well, the manager was sick; one shift leader came in at 9; and the other one was suspended.¬† So there I was working… without a voice.¬† Thankfully I didn’t have to help that many customers.

Saturday morning I went to the OC to visit James and Renae.¬† That evening (3pm)¬†I got to work and there were two girls working.¬† Soon after I was there one of them asked if she could go home (she was very sick).¬† I told her to find someone to cover her shift seems how she was supposed to be there until 8.¬† Well, no one could cover for her.¬† The other girl left at 4 and couldn’t stay longer.¬† My closer wasn’t getting in until 5 so I told the one girl to make it until 5 and then I would send her home.¬† 5 o’clock came and I sent her home… leaving 2 people for the entire dinner rush.¬† Thank God that it was a slow night.¬† We not only got all of our work done, but all of her work too.

You would think that this would be enough of a story for one week… but its not… it never is.

Sunday:¬† My voice was doing better… but still not perfect.¬† I was scared of what choir would do to it so I chose not to sing in the morning service but when to evening practice anyways.¬† Thankfully I am an alto so I had no problems with hitting those low notes… but my voice didn’t like the top half of the treble clef.¬† Near the end of choir my phone vibrates and it says “Subway Pomona.”¬†¬† So I get up and answer the phone.¬† Long story short – they needed me.¬† I told them it would take me approximately 30 minutes to get there because I had to go to the dorm and get changed and then head back to Subway.¬† On my way out of the Church parking lot I called the manager and told her that I was going in but that it would probably put me on overtime and that I wouldn’t get there for another 30 minutes cause I had to go change.¬† She told me not to worry about changing and just go in as I was.¬† *Let me remind you that I am in my church clothes… heals and all.*¬† So I went straight to Subway.¬† The time now is roughly 4:45 and there is a party order (3 large platters)¬†due at 5 and only 1 platter was done, the front was a mess, there where a ton of customers, we were nearly out of bread, the shift lead is new to the position, one co-worker is new and the other one is just learning the cash register.¬† Needless to say it was pretty crazy.¬† I found an apron and got to work on the party platters.¬† Just after 5 they were finished and given to the customer.¬† Next to tackle were the mess and the bread.¬† I’m sure that the customers thought that I was either someone important or a little crazy… I wasn’t in the uniform and I was in a skirt and heals!¬† I was so glad that I grabbed a hair tie when I left the dorm that afternoon.¬† By 6:15 everything was under control and in a manageable state so I left.¬† I had completely missed church by now, but was able to go to the Harvey’s for the college activity.¬†

Well, that was my life this week.¬† I hope to one day write and say that nothing eventful happened at work… like that will ever happen.¬† Also I do plan on blogging about school… we will see when I get to that.

Drama

So last week I went from 21 hours to 37 hours… and this week I am going from 29 hours to 39.5 hours. Yes that’s right. I am a full-time student who¬†also works full-time.¬† If people would stop getting into trouble at work maybe I can actually have a real day off and visit James and Renae.

Care-Bear Challenge Answers

So its been a few weeks since I put up the post asking you to figure out which care-bear represented which girl in the dorm.  Well here are may answers:

• Natalie = Grumpy Bear
• Monica = Cheer Bear
• Jireh= Oopsy Bear
• Hannah= Funshine Bear
• Me = Share Bear

So Hannah and I were at Target one day and saw a care bear¬†puzzle… in it was grumpy bear, cheer bear, and share bear.¬† It appeared that cheer bear and share bear where sort of giving grumpy bear a makeover… and well that is what we kind of did for the winter formal. Next Hannah and I spied a puzzle with all five care bears and we knew that it was an accurate perception of the girls dorm.
