[ music | some gangsta rap song my roommate is listening to ]

Man, just when I thought my basketball team couldn't get more messed up..something else terrible happens.

Let me start from the beginning. There was this girl from Maryland that came to play on the team. Right before official practices started, she dislocated her kneecap dancing. In addition to that, she NEVER went to class, so she was failing practically all of them. All she did was sleep and talk on the phone, mostly. So her parents forced her to withdraw from classes here and come home. For good. She left early this morning.

Then this afternoon...I came back from my psychology class and saw another girl on my team out in the lobby, talking on the phone and crying to her boyfriend. They were having some sort of an argument over something she did, and..I think..her boyfriend wanted to end it, or at least take a break or something, I don't really know all the details. Then Sheila and I went to lunch and our last class of the day. When we got back..we found out that she had overdosed on tylenol after she had that fight with her boyfriend..and she called one of our other teammates to take her to the hospital, so that girl waited downstairs for her, but she never came. So she went up to her room to find out that she had passed out on the floor. So they took her to the hospital to try and pump her stomach or whatever..I guess she's in stable condition now, but..I dunno how she is exactly. But it's scary, and she worried all of us. *sigh*

Then there's all this other little stuff that always goes on..not as serious as the first two I mentioned, but still..

If you guys could just pray for me and my team, man, that would be greatly appreciated.. :(

These past couple of days have been so good! I'm happy. :D

Wednesday: My 8 am class got cancelled, so I got to sleep in! Psychology class was fun..music blah. But anyways! That night we had our first home basketball game, and we won! Excitement.

Thursday: It was such a nice day out for once!! It's been freezing cold here for awhile. In my team sports class, we got to play basketball, and my coach was making fun of us and vice versa. It was funny, lol. We got to leave early again! Then, they actually had a really awesome lunch in the cafeteria, which happens like, once in a lifetime, lol. I had speech right after that and it was mildly entertaining. There's this boy in that class that always asks one of my teammates how I played in games and stuff, and I've never even had a conversation with him, lol! Weird. Anyways! Basketball practice was only an hour, and pretty easy since we were having a game the next day. A little bit after that was over, I got a call from my grandparents [from arizona] saying they were here in town! I was excited. They were on a trip already, and came to visit me on their way back! I was so happy to see someone from back home again. :) That night we went out to dinner, then we went back to their hotel room and hung out and talked. Good times.

Today: Classes were good, and it was a nice day again! I had fun in psych again, and music went by fast for some odd reason. lol. Right after that there was a girl's game to be played..2 other schools in our tournament, so we went to watch that because we play one of those teams tomorrow..or today. lol. Then there was a men's game after that, which we got to watch part of, then it was time for our game! It was a really good, close, exciting game..but unfortunately, we lost. rar. We so should have won. Oh well. Hopefully we'll get it tomorrow! After the game I went out to eat with my grandparents again, then they brought me back to the college and I watched our men's team play. They won, which was cool. The guys on the team are so awesome and nice! Well..most of them, lol. It's cool cause our teams have a good relationship with each other, and we go on trips and things together. It's fun.

Tomorrow we have one more game, so wish us luck!! :D

35 days!

First of all, I just want to say thanks for everyone who left comments on my last entry, or that are just praying for me..I appreciate it more than you know. It gives me at least a little encouragement to know I have people behind me..and that I will get through these hard times, even though at times it doesn't feel like it..Rev and Jess, thanks for your advice..Sarah, thanks for being there for me to talk to..and Heathir, aww! I don't have voicemail, and my phone wasn't on. :( I love all of you guys.. :) And Ryssa, thanks for the "hug"! ;)

Moving along..

Today I played in my first college basketball game *ever* against Briar Cliff in Iowa! It was very exciting, and fun. Unfortunately, we lost, but we played hard the entire time and never gave up. I scored 8 points, yay. We were so mad we lost though..all of us want to go back and play the game over! :( It was still a lot of fun though. Our next game is on Wednesday, at home, and I can't wait. My grandparents are coming to visit me this coming weekend!! I'm so excited. :D We have a tournament here as well, so they'll get to see me play. It'll be my first time seeing someone from Arizona since August!

After that I came home and talked to my parents about the game and other random things, and then I talked to Sarah on the phone, yay! I was very boring, I'm sure.. ;) We talked for about an hour, then her phone went dead. Oh well!

Guys, I am SO excited it's finally November! That means only a month and a half till I go home! 41 days, to be exact, hehe..

My computer has been so stupid today. I was trying to scan pictures, and then all of a sudden there's some malfunction or something. I was kind of scared, lol. This cord is broken on the back of my computer, rar. How many things can happen to a computer in such a short amount of time? It's annoying. *pats stephen*

hmm, I feel like I had something else to say, but..I can't think of it!

well i should have had a happy journal entry tonight..but now that's just not possible. no one should have to go through this. i can't handle things over here anymore, and there's no reason for them to happen, just people like to..i dont even know. i just want to know why god wanted me to come here, cause it's been the hardest time of my life, and tonight just topped everything off. i'm so alone over here, i don't have anyone. please, please pray for me, i need it badly. :*(

we are a beautiful letdown, painfully uncool... [28 Oct 2002|10:36pm]

[ music | Switchfoot - The Beautiful Letdown ]

It was so great to get away from my boring town this weekend!

Friday night we all went to Lincoln and stayed at this girl's apartment. Me, Sheila, Dez, and T had to sleep on the floor and it was SO uncomfortable! Sort of like sleeping on a slab of concrete. Needless to say we didn't really sleep well that night, lol. Then Saturday morning, we went shopping all day, and at 2 real live malls, too! [haha.] It was great to shop again, I've missed it so! lol. I bought a few clothes, a few cd's and such, and it was a grand day. And, surprisingly, everyone on the team got along for the most part (an achievement in itself). Then we drove back that night.

This morning I slept in till about 1:45, yay. At like, 2, my friend Karl calls me from church and is like, "Cait, I just got you in trouble." and i thought he was joking, but he wasn't. Some background info: my dad is totally against downloading songs, and burning cd's and such, cause it's 'stealing'. [my dad is the coolest other than that little setback ;)] Ok. So Karl goes up to him, and is like, "Caitlin taught me how to commit piracy last night! She taught me how to download songs from kazaa!" (Which, obviously, he didn't know I had on my computer). And I guess my dad went off on this big spiel or whatever, and i'm betting he is going to yell at me or something for doing it next time I talk to him. I was so upset at Karl, that nerd! Oh well. Then I talked to Jessica for a bit, then my buddy Justin, and when he was done, he was like, "ok, i'm going to let you talk to jess again." And Gabe came on using this ugly high-pitched voice going, 'i'm jessica! it's jessica!" lol. weirdo. ;) I haven't actually talked to him in forever...gosh I miss church. :(

A little bit after that, Sheila and I went grocery shopping (finally). Our fridge has been empty for like 2 1/2 weeks, lol! It was so cold and rainy outside. I think it almost snowed again.

Now I should be working on my informative speech I have to give on Tuesday. But a ton of my friends are online now, and I just wouldn't be a good friend if I didn't talk to them, right? haha..

Hi everyone! Today was semi-exciting. I actually have some stories to tell, wahoo.

Guess what! It snowed here today, a lot. Me and Sheila were excited, lol! It's pretty darn cold outside though, lemme tell ya. Like 20-some degrees or so. I must have had on like, 50000 layers of clothing. lol. *brr* It was so funny though, lol, because we were going to get something to eat before we were supposed to be back at school for our scrimmage game (which we didn't go to. more on that later.) and when we went outside it started snowing so freaking hard, and we had to be outside to try and scrape all the snow and ice off of her car windows so she could see, and we were just getting pelted, lol. I dunno why, but we were just cracking up the whole time! Now about the scrimmage..our coach decided it was snowing too hard to go 2 hours away just for a scrimmage game, so we didn't go. :( And we had to have practice instead, blah. We ran a lot at the end. He rescheduled the game for tomorrow, so hopefully we can actually go this time. We were all ready for it, too. I just hope that it doesn't have to be pushed back to this weekend, because all of us on the team made plans to go to Omaha for our 3-day weekend.

Our basketball team is so screwed up, I swear. There's always someone who has some kind of problem with someone else. And it's usually over the dumbest things! Tonight, 5 of us went to the bowling alley for our Wednesday college activity, and a couple of our other teammates came after we did. And I don't really know what happened, but I guess like, 4 of my teammates went outside, and this girl Nicole got all up in this other girl, Taniesha's, face, asking if she had been saying crap about her or whatever, and T just started punching her in the face and crap. I couldn't believe she hit her. *shakes head* We're gonna have problems this year, I can already tell...*sigh*

I got my computer fixed, yay. But there's this other thing broken inside the computer that causes the network card to come loose, so that's why my internet wouldn't work the past week or two. So EVERY TIME the card comes loose, I have to unplug my whole stupid computer, open it up, and put it back in place. It sucks. Hopefully I'll get that last part fixed soon. The guy that came to fix the network card said that it was as if someone dropped my computer or something. weird.

Sarah, you're the best. I LOVE the Switchfoot album. It rocks. I've been listening to it all the time! I'll write you back soon, I promise! Which reminds me, I still have to mail Heathir's letter. It's been done for a little while, but it's just been sitting on my desk!

I'm tired..but I'm going to steal the quizzes from everyone's journal first! ;)

quizzes! )

Today was a good day. I slept in till about..1:45 or so, then just laid around in bed for like the next 2 hours cause my roommate was still asleep. lol. A little bit later 4 of us went to the mall to eat, cause they're cool and sell pizza for 99 cents on Sundays, woo! Comes in *very* handy for a poor college student with an empty fridge. ;) When we got back I talked to this guy from Dell (not stephen, unfortunately! haha) about fixing my computer, and I need a new network card or...something. So this tech guy has to come out here and fix it for me, cause I sure as heck wouldn't know what I was doing, lol..after that I went online for a bit, then Karl called me and we talked for like 3 hours, yay. It was great fun. He always makes me laugh! But some stuff he told me about makes it seem like people don't really care all that much about me coming back in December..but more on that later. :(

But the next best part of the night was...NEW KEITH PICTURES. NEW HOT KEITH PICTURES. I was excited. lol. Because there's *never* pics of him! And, because I'm nice..I'm going to share some of them with the people who have just now discovered how hot he really is. you window shoppers know who you are.. ;)

yay for new pictures of the elms! keith looks hot in his little floppy hat. *sigh* :D



Anyways! I am so bored right now, guys. I didn't really have much to write about the past few days, I just wanted to share keith's cuteness with the public. ;) and no you can't have him! i'm excited for tuesday though because their new album is coming out!! and so is the tobyMac DVD and Christmas single thingy. Wow, I wish I actually had money to buy that stuff...lol.

I talked to my grandparents on the phone today. They're coming to see me November 7th, yay! I'm excited. It'll be cool to see them again. It will have been..2 1/2 months since I've last seen them, I think. Umm! Sadly, that's all! Hope the rest of you are having a more fun-filled weekend than I..

Helloooo everyone! :)

As usual, this weekend as well as today has been relatively unexciting. On Friday night Sheila and I ate dinner at Wendy's, then went over to Hastings to see what kind of cd's we could spend all of our money on. ;) I really wanted to get the WOW Christmas album, but it was like $18 and i only had like, 30 so..that was out. lol. I *almost* bought this old, used Out of Eden album that I lost, somehow, but I didn't. But! The good news is, my mommy went to the Christian bookstore and bought me some presents, yay. I'm getting the new Everyday Sunday, Cadet, and WOW Christmas albums..except my mom is keeping that one to listen to for awhile before she gives it to me! gosh! ;) Anyways, I'm excited. :D

I'm sad because this weekend, my youth group went on their annual trip to Magic Mountain, and obviously, I had to miss out. :( It's always so awesome to go on that trip. People were like, "oh, we'll take lots of pictures and blah blah blah!" but it doesn't really help. Oh well. Only...*thinks* 61 more days!

Last night me and three of my teammates went to eat at the "mall" (ha)..and I went to Target and got me a bunch of medicine because I'm sickly. :( I'm hoping it won't take me too long to get over it, blah. Practice is going to suck now. After that we just kinda all chilled in my room. I started writing more of Heathir's letter back..it's taking me forever, but I know it won't be as long as it took for Heathir to mail me mine. *wink* Anyways! Class was class today..almost fell asleep in music, as usual, and now I'm here! Time to go get ready for practice now..

Yay, I finally am going to have some sort of an exciting entry! lol.

Campus Crusade for Christ was so much fun last night! First we all went over to the advisor's house, and when we got there, we started off by singing 3 worship songs, which was awesome. I hadn't heard anyone play any since I left Arizona, where I was practically always hearing people play songs on guitar (aww. i miss gabe's songs!) Anyways, after that we had a short little Bible study on the importance of living for Christ, and then after that it was time for the activity of the night. It was so great! We played "Who's Line is it Anyways?"..which is like the funniest show ever. It was so hilarious! We were playing that game where someone says some sort of noun, and then the two people have to act it out, have a conversation about it, whatever. And this one guy, Aaron, who isn't exactly small, hehe, had to be MC Hammer, LOL! And he was doing all these "dance moves" and saying all this stuff like him and it was sooo funny. And then this one guy, James, who's really outgoing and goofy, had to be a thug, and then instead of acting like one, he started talking like an Italian, LOL. Like he was in the mafia or something. After that game was up, we played that "party quirks" game, where there's 2 people hosting a party and 4 people come as some kind of person or acting like some thing or whatever. I can't remember what happened all with that now, but certain people were so funny to see acting like some of the things we thought up. That has definitely been the most fun activity of the year so far. Once that was over, the girls and guys split up into small little prayer groups, which was cool. I was with 3 other girls, and we just kind of went around the circle and prayed. After we were done we were just sort of talking, and this girl Megan was asking me about basketball and how I was doing and stuff, and it was just cool to me because it's hard to find people around here who actually care how you are and want to know what you're doing and stuff..if that makes any sense. She asked me what I did on the weekends, and I told her absolutely nothing, which is true, lol. And then she told me she would call me to do stuff on the weekends with her and her friend Meagan, since they have like, all guy friends, lol, so I was excited about that. I know it seems like such a little thing to be excited about, but it is for me to hang out with other Christians and do stuff with people, since I haven't found a church to go to yet. Wow, I'm not making any sense at all now, I've decided! Moving on!

My cousin Jessica saw Relient K on Monday!! I was jealous. She told me that Matt came onto the stage on his pink bike, lol! and she said that he had written "Raising Heck" on the seat, LOL! I thought that was hilarious. She's the best cousin ever! She got me the Employee of the Month EP, yay! And when she went to see Switchfoot, she got me something from that show, which I totally wasn't expecting. And, of course, she took lots of picatures to send me! I'm sure she'll let me show you guys..I mean, if you're interested. It's not like anyone who reads my journal likes Tim, Jon, or Brian...*cough* ;)

I'm excited that I'm actually having a life this week, haha. Tonight I think a bunch of us from the basketball team are gonna go roller skating, hehe, cause that's the school sponsored activity for tonight! It should be fun. And then Thursday night I think I might go to this Campus Crusade Barn Dance in Wayne, LOL! Sounds corny, but we'll make it fun!

Alright..I have to go prepare myself to see the grade I got on my psychology test.. *cringe* Bye! :)

I've been bad about updating my journal lately. It's just because my life is so gosh darned boring!! lol. Anyways!

On Tuesday I went to my Campus Crusade for Christ meeting, and it was fun as always. We met up at the college student center for a little Bible study..my friend Aaron is the leader for that type of stuff. It was about the importance of finding a church..it was a good discussion. After that we went over to the advisor's house, where there were a bunch of people from Wayne State College's Campus Crusade there to hang out with us for the night. After that, we went out on a hayride, lol. It was SO FREAKING COLD though!! It was like, already cold and windy, and then combined with the additional wind created by us driving..ooh I was cold. We were all like, huddling close together, lol. It was rad though. I was sitting in between 2 people from Wayne, so I got to meet and talk to them for awhile. I talked to this girl..I forget her name, hehe, but she was so nice! And then it turned out that the guy that was sitting on the other side of me's sister lives in Arizona, so we were talking about that for awhile. I had fun. It's also just..I dunno..a good change of atmosphere from some of the people I'm around most of the time, if that makes any sense.. *sigh* I'm glad I started going. :)

This week was our first week of official basketball practices. They haven't been as bad as I thought they were going to be, but all the sprinting and conditioning stuff we have to do still sucks big time, lol. Also..our assistant coach hasn't made an appearance yet. When he comes, it means TONS of running. *hopes he decides not to show up* lol. I think our team will be good though, which is awesome. Things are going a lot better than they were when we first started playing together. Plus, my coach is so awesome, so that makes it even better. Also, lol, we *finally* got our team sweats today, and we were so excited that we ran to coach's office to get them! They're really cool. We're all wearing them tomorrow, yay. But no one cares about that!

I've got a bunch of tests coming up again in all my classes. I have a music appreciation test tomorrow..which should be easy..a psychology test Monday..which SO won't be easy..and a government test on Friday. That one should be alright, too. My teacher tends to make the multiple choice answers so obvious, lol. I really like all of my teachers..except for my boring music teacher. Anyways! I think I've said this in like, all my journal entries since I've been at college, hehe, so the end!

Um..yay! Sarah got my letter today. I'm surprised it got there so fast, what with how slow the stupid mail is coming out of here..I also got a letter from Heathir the other day! She sent me a beautious picture of herself..and her letter was hilarious, lol..yay for mail! :D

random quote for the day: "Brian and Sam (bleach) were walking around, and Brian had his pellet gun out. They were simply looking for things to shoot at, when ,what turns out to be a fire marshall, jumps out from behind a bush with a real pistol aimed at Brian. He yelled "PUT THE GUN DOWN!", and Brian obliged. They guy turned out to be pretty cool after he realized it was a pellet gun, and Brian was off the hook with just a lesson learned. That being, if you're going to walk around a city with a pellet gun that looks like a sniper rifle, at least bring matt thiessen's little girl bike as a getaway option." [LOL!!!! @ matt theissen's little girl bike. that guy is hilarious.]

*sigh* Today has been beyond boring! Umm..let's see. Last night I got to talk to my friend Matt! I was happy. We hadn't talked in awhile. We had a good discussion about how our youth group should plan a trip to Cornerstone, and I agreed. Fun times, fun times. None of my friends in Arizona have called me in like a million years. :( I miss them. Anyways! Here's a survey I stole from Corri's journal. Yay!

I'm so glad it's finally the weekend! I need to catch up on sleep like no other. I dunno why I had such a hard time getting to sleep this week. The thing that stinks though, is that just as I'm sort of getting used to the new time zone, we have to go back one hour for stupid daylight savings time, which we don't even have in Arizona. *sigh* Ah well.

Today was alright. I went to class as usual..and music in boring culture (ha) seemed to go on FOREVER. Sheila and I were both falling asleep, lol. For once I didn't have basketball practice today, yay. There's like, some hillbilly concert going on in the gym, hehe. Then Sheila and I went to lift weights, but I couldn't do anything because I hurt my elbow. :( Real basketball practices start next week, and I'm scared about the things we might have to do! I hate conditioning! It's evil. After that we just kinda hung out in the dorms for awhile, and then Sheila and I went out to Pizza Hut for dinner, which was cool cause we just got to talk about anything without having other people around..not that I don't like having teammates around, but sometimes we just want to hang out by ourselves cause people get annoying. lol. After that we went to Hastings. I bought the new Lifehouse cd! It's pretty good so far. I like them.

We drove past the US Bank where the robbery/murders happened, and it was so weird. There was like this makeshift memorial there, and people outside around it just giving their condolences and hugging each other and stuff. Sheila and I both got chills every time we drove past it. It's just crazy to think about, because we could have been around there at any time, you know? We seriously drive past that bank ALL THE TIME. Oh, and the story has gotten worse since then. I guess like, a week ago, a police officer had stopped one of the guys involved in the bank robbery, found a concealed weapon in the car, and he checked to see if it was stolen, and it wasn't..so the guy only went to jail for a few days. Turns out..the gun *was* stolen. The officer had just punched in the serial number wrong. So after the officer found this out, he was totally devastated and distraught, thinking that, if he hadn't punched in the wrong numbers, the guy might still be in jail and it never would have happened...which you never could have told whether it would have or not..and the officer blamed himself...and killed himself. He had 6 kids. And it turns out..the gun that he punched the serial number in wrong for wasn't even the gun that was used in the murders. So his suicide was all for nothing..not that there is ever a good reason for suicide, but you know what I mean. It was so sad when we saw the press conference thing on it. It's just so strange that something like that happened here. :( Things have been sorta somber ever since...

grr, i wanted to write an entry about yesterday, but evil livejournal erased it!! so now you're just getting today's update! lol..

Oh! But the most important thing about yesterday.. *wink* is that..i finally got Sarah's letter! And my 800 year old birthday card! yay! Annndd..she called and left a fun message on my answering machine. We just got done talking about that again, haha. Anyways!

It was FREEZING all day today. The weather we've had today is like, our winter for Arizona, lol. I'm not gonna last!! :p

Last night, Sheila and I couldn't fall asleep to save our lives! We finally ended up going to sleep at like, 6 am..and we both had the same class at 8:35. eek! And I dunno what happened..I guess I slept through my alarm or something, but somehow Sheila woke up and was all, "Caitlin! It's 8:45!" We were like, oh crap! lol, because our coach is our teacher! So we hurry up and get dressed and run to class, lol, and we get there at like, 9. Luckily all they were doing was watching a movie, but..we both walked in like, with our heads down, and I glance over at coach and I'm just like, "sorry!" and he just smiled. lol, and then later that morning, when me, Sheila, and Dez were going to lunch, Dez stopped to talk to him and he just looked at me and Sheila and laughed and was all, "Dez, please watch out for these two today." haha. He was amused by our lateness, I think. That's my random story for the day.

Oh..when we were at lunch, Maggie comes up to us and is like, "Did you hear what happened today?" And we were all..nooo. I guess this morning, there was a bank robbery and 5 people got killed. Our school was in a lock down and everything because they didn't catch the robbers right away. It was kind of scary. They finally caught them a long time after, in a totally different city. So..it's been kinda sad around here. If you guys could maybe keep the victims families in prayer, that would be cool.. :(

The rest of today was relatively unexciting, as usual. Blah, I don't feel like writing anymore! so the end! ;)

[ music | Bleach - Almost Too Late ]

I didn't go see Relient K today. *cries* :( :( :( And I should be listening to the new Switchfoot album. That deserves another three frowns. :( :( :(

Other than that..lol..today was a pretty good day. We had a test in my team sports class on 4 different sports, and I thought it would be pretty easy, but there was like a million fill-in-the-blank questions on volleyball and soccer..which I know next to nothing about, haha. Oh well. I still think I did pretty well. In my speech class I did a demonstration speech on "How to shoot a free throw". I think I did pretty well. It was something I already knew about, so that made it easier. Plus I made my free throw, so that always helps in those types of cases, lol. This one guy in my class had a really creative, amusing topic: it was "How to play putt-putt golf with your significant other and let them win." LOL. It was funny.

After class I had basketball practice, which was no different than usual. We played basketball for about an hour, then we lifted for upper body, then we did 350 crunches. Next week is the week we actually start "real" practices, which SO aren't going to be fun. That's when we start all the hard conditioning, sprinting crapola. *shudder* I hope October goes by fast...when practice was over, 4 of us went into the sauna, and it was SO hot! lol. It got up to about 140 degrees! Felt like I was back in North Africa all over again.. ;)

A little while later, Sheila and I went and ate dinner in the cafeteria..which gets really old after awhile. Then I got ready to go to the Campus Crusade for Christ meeting around nine. We met in the student center and took a club picture. It was so funny though, lol..my friend Aaron was telling me about his weekend and suddenly he got so excited and started flipping frantically through his cd case to show me this "awesome" new Relient K cd he got, hehe. It was the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything single. He actually found it in a store! I was jealous. Then we went over to the club advisor's house to do some stuff..we voted on who we wanted to be the Bible study leader, club president, etc. Then we got into groups, and we had to go outside in the dark, around this cemetary thing, and follow this map and trail to find pieces of paper with words on them, and we had to put the words together in the end. Periodically there were things that rustled the bushes and jumped out at us...but we weren't even fazed, lol. My group got back first, and we had been the last ones to leave. woopwoop. After we all got back we had a little Bible study thing, which was cool. I just got back to my room a little bit ago..now I'm just sort of chillin' in my room..my friend Dez stopped by, and my roommate is on the phone, so here I am..

Our school's volleyball coach asked the whole basketball team to travel to Columbus, NE to cheer on the team..I guess they're their rivals or something so she wants some more support. She offered to buy us pizza, so we happily obliged. hehe.

I don't want to go to my 8 am class tomorrow..must..get..sleep. Good thing it's only 50 minutes long.

Alltel is the dumbest cell phone service ever!! Just thought I'd let you all know..

I still haven't gotten my letter from Sarah! And she sent it like, more than a week ago. The evil mail here is so freakin' slow.

"Fell Out" by Bleach is my new favorite song. Everyone should go listen to it.

Man, my journal has been so unexciting since I got to Nebraska! It stinks, lol. Anyways! Here's an update:

Yesterday was a pretty good day...I almost fell asleep in my team sports class, hehe, and my speech teacher let us out of class early, yay! I love when that happens. You certainly can't get that in high school. A little bit after class I had basketball practice. We were supposed to be changing our workouts and doing some extra plyometrics, which suck, but apparently our coach forgot. *phew* We played basketball, lifted weights, and did crunches..we've moved up to 350 a day! ack! I better be extra buff after all this.. ;)

Later that night I went to a Campus Crusade for Christ meeting..it's this Christian club at the college, and it's pretty cool. We went over to the advisor's house, which is so rad, and we played pictionary..which doesn't sound fun, lol, but for some reason it was highly amusing. After that we had a little Bible study, prayed, and then just hung out afterwards. There are some really nice and cool people there, and it's a great way to meet other Christians on campus. lol, me and this guy Aaron have bonded over Relient K! The only sucky part is that most everyone there is already friends, and have been for awhile, or go to the same church and whatnot, so sometimes it's hard to feel like a part of the group right now. Hopefully things will change once the year goes on, but it's kinda hard to make your way into a large group who's already close, you know? So yeah. I like it though. :)

I'm so mad at stupid Alltel. They decide to get our address wrong and haven't sent my parents the bill..their fault, right? So then WHY did I try to use my phone last night and it said that my service was temporarily interrupted until they received the payment?!? I was like, what the heck? It's their stupid fault, and I'm getting punished for it. That's really my only way to talk to people back home since it's not long distance. *sigh* Hopefully it gets back up soon.. :(

AH! I just found out that they added an Omaha date to the Back to the Few Tour!! But it's like, next week and it's 2 hours away from me! It would be so rad if I could find a way to get there..but I don't have much hope, lol. *sigh* Oh well. I'll see them eventually..I think. lol.

ahh, WHY does *someone* have to be so gosh darn cute towards me? *melts* too bad..nevermind..

Time to go take a nap before my psychology class....

[ music | Switchfoot - Playing for Keeps ]

Today was pretty uneventful. In my team sports class my group had to go into the gym and demonstrate soccer skills..of which I have none..so we just let this boy who actually played soccer do all the work. ;) It was kinda funny though, because the group who was gonna show us basketball skills started dribbling the ball..and on the other side of the gym there was this karate class doing their thing, and the instructor peeks his head around the side of the divider and goes, "No bouncy-bouncy!" lol, it was funny..but maybe you had to be there. My teacher, who's also my coach, started joking around that we were going to start dribbling contests and such, and the karate guy didn't appreciate it, hehe. This one boy was all, "Mr. Miyagi is going to come over here and kick our butts.." lol. That's my random story for the day, didn't you enjoy it? ;)

After that class I came back and went to sleep for like, 2 hours..it was grand. I didn't want to wake up! But I had a class at 12:35, so I had to. :( Speech wasn't too bad though. My teacher is pretty cool and keeps things interesting. Oh, and I found out that the girl that is Sarah in my class loves Switchfoot and Relient K! *dun dun dun* ;)

A little bit after that class was over I had basketball practice..some people on my team were irritating me at the stuff they were saying/doing. *sigh* I can't wait till the season starts..then all the hard stuff we do at practice will be over.
