Yes, a picture this sweet is of Amelia and I. I’m blow away! I feel like I should be a lower body model… or a Kevin James stand in… one of the two.

Nothing New
So I really feel like I have plenty I could write about right now… back to the golf course, almost done with school, my trip to MP this past weekend, current events, other thoughts, etc…
But all I can think about right now is how much I like Twilight. I watched the movie a little more than a week ago to see what the hype is about. I instantly was hooked. I was so hooked, that I instantly got all four books and started reading them. Now, not even two weeks later, I am almost done with Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final book. I can’t get over how much I am enjoying this series. I don’t know what it is, but I could watch the movie over and over (and have been).
I can’t pinpoint exactly what I like about the series so much… I’ve never been big into fantasy/scifi stuff. I think it is how freakin cool Edward is. I really like how he dresses. It reminds me of the brief time that I dressed more preppy and made me miss it. I have made an effort this week to get back into it. Dressing like I care about how I look does a lot for my self esteem. The same fraternity hoodie and random jeans only works for so long.
Also, just an FYI… YES, I know I am a girl for everything said above.

I wish June 2010 really meant June 2009. I don’t want to wait another year to be married.

I needed today. After a long night of trying to stay awake at work, I decided to “take a union 10.” For those who don’t understand what I mean, I took the rest of the day off. I stopped on my way home from work and got a breakfast sandwich from McDonald’s with a milk, came home, slept until 2:00pm, played some NHL ‘09 when I woke up, had some excellent conversation with my family over dinner, took a shower, relaxed with some reading for an hour or so, then left at 11:15pm for work.
I needed this day off. My crappy schedule, derailed sleeping patterns, work/school load, and the ridiculously inconsistent weather had me in a funk that I couldn’t shake. On top of all that, up until today, I had been out of my medication and couldn’t seem to stay productive for more than a short time.
When I felt the sun on my face today, saw the clear blue sky, and spent some time outside in shorts and a t shirt, I was reminded that God is always there to give us what we need and we shouldn’t confuse those needs with our wants. Praise!
As a side note, NHL ‘09 for PS3 is an amazing game. ”Be a Pro” mode is pure greatness. Although, I don’t understand how my character can go from being ont he 1st defensive pair with Linstrom, win the Stanley Cup, and get a $2million-1 year deal for the next season with Detroit after almost all of the Red Wings greats retire for the 09-‘10 season… I accepted the one year contract, turning down a similar deal with the L/A/ Kings and continued to start on the first D pairing. After a month into the season, I was traded to Edmonton. To quote Jerry Seinfeld, “What is the deal with that?” I’ve only played two games with the Oilers so far, but I’ve racked up a ton of points. I even had a four goal game, which is unheard of for an “enforcer defenseman.” So we’ll see where the season takes me.

In nomine Patri, et Fili, et Spiritus Sancti
I wish I could go on a vacation. I’m not talking about a “spring break” week without school but I still have to work every day vacation- but a real don’t worry about stuff for a week vacation.
You may be surprised to find out that I have never been on a legitimate vacation before. Every trip that I have ever been on was for a specific reason. I went to California on a school trip, I went to Canada and New York for hockey trips, I went up north for work, I went to Louisiana on a mission trip, I went to Tennessee for my brother’s karate tournament… I think you can see the pattern here.
Two weeks ago was my school’s spring break. Yeah, it was nice not having class for the week, but I still had to work, which throws away any chance to actually do something on “spring break.” I am in dire need for a real vacation. This ridiculous up all night, sleep all day, and still go to class and get A’s schedule is starting to really mess with me. I don’t have one night when I can relax for the evening. I have class M, T, W nights core group meeting at Scott’s house TH night, and work F-T nights. I have no time to myself unless you count my time at home before class when I am trying to sleep to be “personal time.” The only thing good about this schedule is I automatically get set aside study and homework time while I’m at work. That is a plus because then I dont have to take hours out of my sleep schedule to do homework and study.
My classes this semester are turning out to be a little harder than they lead on, especially my Criminal Evidence Handling and Procedures class. I studied like mad for our first exam and I thought I did really well on it, but I hardly got a B on it- 81%. This is the worst grade I’ve gotten in the past year. I’m not dissatisfied with a B- persay, I am just bummed that all the hard work I put into my flash cards and studying only gave me an 81%. I thought I would have had an 85% at worst. Each exam, beyond the book and lecture material, we have 50+ court cases to memorize which is really hard for me. That type of thing hasn’t ever been easy for me. UGH
I have also been thinking a lot about a question I thought up about a week ago in regards to salvation. I was thinking about Adam and Eve… and Jesus. if Jesus died for all sins, Jesus also died for Adam and Eve’s sins. So why is there “original sin?” That would suggest that there is a sin that hasn’t been forgiven… doesn’t it? I also got to thinking how that is referred to as “the fall of man” and how “man’s creation” (their children) are doomed to a sinful nature from this… but it Christ’s blood forgives all sins, why does this happen? Adam was created by God, in His image, but gave in to sin at the very first opportunity he had? Unless I am missing something, that doesn’t add up to me… I’m pretty confused by it all.
With my ridic sleep schedule, I get very little. My mind tends to be going 100 miles/minute and when I get home from work at 8:30am, my mind and body are still feeling like its time to start the day. This makes it very hard to get any sleep. During the week, I can only seven hours during the day MAX since I have to be up at 4pm to shower and get to school for my 6-9pm classes. It sucks…
Pretty much the only reason I am writing this is to help be stay awake at work. I had the absolute hardest time staying awake at work the past two nights. For some reason, I just can’t keep my eyes open. I slept fine while I was home. I had eaten a good dinner.
Recently, I watched the movie Man on Fire with Denzel. Denzel is an awesome actor and I haven’t liked him so much as I do in Man on Fire- not even in Training Day. You should rent it via iTunes and watch it PRONTO.
St. Patrick’s Day is almost here and I will be asleep, then at class, then at work. SWEET. St. Patrick’s Day in MP was ALWAYS a blast.
