Ho Hum!

Just got home a little bit ago from Church and Sunday Dinner with the adopted family. I was going to go up north but my mom called me this morning and told me that Ron wasn't feeling well and that they weren't going. And I didn't really want to go up by myself and sit there all day with my grandparents, not that it is a bad thing...but you know..it might get kind of boring. So I'm staying home and going to cell group like normal Sunday evenings. I haven't been in a long time and it should be good fun! Anyway, my first week of classes went well. They should be fairly easy and I shouldn't have to much of a problem with them. WE'll see how everything works out. My ultimate goal, I think with everyone else on campus, is to end up with a 4.0 at the end of the semester. I am going to work my hardest and see how things go. I have the potential, I know I do. I talked to Bryce and Lou on Friday. It made me sad. I miss them so much. Not to mention they put me on a freaking guilt trip about not coming back to State. I'm getting past it though. It's going to be different, but this is totally God's will and I am ok with that. So whatever. OH MY GOSH....I watched The Passion last night. WOW~!!!!! Seriously, I don't think I have been moved more powerfully by any movie, which isn't surprising! I think I cried through the entire movie!!! WOW it was good. I can't even explain it. If you haven't seen it yet, YOU NEED TO RENT IT!!! ANyway, I was reading Paige's journal and I found this...so I thought I would add it to mine. I'm sure she wouldn't mind. Anyway, here it is!
