WELL HOWDY DOO.

I now have a job! Quite exciting. Aha.

Whatever, I work at a coffee shop. Ironic right? I don't drink coffee. I don't even like it. With good reason. It makes me bounce off the wall. After the first day, my boss won't let me have it anymore. Wonder why.

In two days, there will be Freshman Orientation at SCCC. I'm going, which is probably silly because I've taken classes there before, and I'm only going to be here 2 semesters. But I hear they give you free flash drives. Aha. I'm a sucker for free stuff.

One of the weirdest things about GETTING OLD (which I am), is leaving youth group. And the reason this may seem weirder to me than it should is because I'm still here. It's not like I went away, you know? I'm still living in Sparta, going to the same church, seeing the same people...but not being a part of it anymore. *sniff* Ok I'm done being melodramatic.

I'm saving for a Macbook. Now, before you give me the 'they're so expensive and totally not worth it and why are you gonna do that" spheal, let me say this. I DO WHAT I WANT. Kidding. That was mean. Anyways, I really want one and the perks far outweigh the price so I'm gonna get one. And that free accompanying iPod Touch is quite appetizing. Speaking of iPods, I need a new Nano. Mine HATES ME. The batter dies after three hours. Sheesh.

Ok ok I'm done boring you. Have a nice day. Come get coffee ;)

And so we go.

What a lovely

LAST full week of August we are about to embark into. Can you believe it? I feel like I said this in my last post, but this summer is just going WAY too fast. I can't say I hate it thought because I'm really glad that it's going to be fall time again.

I feel weird saying this, but I like fall because the clothes are better. No SERIOUSLY. It's so much easier to dress with variety. I mean, in the summer it's kinda hard to make shorts and a t shirt look different than the same shirt and t shirt you wore the day before. And sundresses can only be worn so long before I go insane. But fall? and winter? Ahh. All sorts of goodies like jeans, and sweaters, and scarves, and vests and all that fun stuff that you can mix and match any single way you want.

Ok. Clothing shpheal over.

For my unfortunate semester at SCCC this fall, I'll be taking 4 classes that will transfer to PHC when I finally get there. Fortunately, I am only taking 3 of them at the college (the other online) on only two days. That'll free up time for working or otherwise occupying my time.

AND I am able to take a class online from PHC. It's a Theology class. Call me strange, but I am SO excited. I took a doctrine class in my sophomore year of high school and was thoroughly amazed at everything I learned, so I'm looking forward to this class and hoping it won't kill me with home work.

Job interview at Panera on Wednesday, wish me luck!

And so we go.

Ah yes, I am fully aware

That my posting has dribbled down to the level of 'all time loser blogger.' I am sorry! But not to worry, I will be getting back on track soon, definitely by the time the new school year starts.

I KNOW! A month left and the summer is over? How did this happen? What happened to July? Heck, where did JUNE go? Everything's been going so fast, probably because I've been going non stop pretty much since May. After the hurry of graduation and gradution party, then there was Creation to plan.

I never follow up posted about Creation, but like that's really necessary, because we all know what I would say. IT WAS AWESOME. Well, slightly less awesome because of how far away our campsite was from the main stage and merch tents, but they had periodic shuttles for that. I got to see all the bands I love, and discovered some new ones like The Letter Black, and Brian 'Head' Welch. Autographs and merch galore.

Less than two weeks after returning from Creation, I set off for Washington, DC for the Eagle Forum Collegiates Conference. That was incredibly educational, and also the perks of being in DC were good too. The link to Friday's conference can be found here. The first speaker is Hannah Giles, who helped bring down ACORN. If you fast forward to the Q&A after her speech, you can hear that I asked the only question she could not answer.

And this weekend I will be leaving for Outerbanks with my lovely *eh* extended family. We'll see how that goes...possibly some posting while I'm down there since I'll have so much time on my hands.

And so we go.

OMG CREATION!

YES I AM FREAKING OUT THAT MUCH!

Ok. Trying to calm down. Because I'm just going insane with excitement right now. I'm so excited I decided to pull an all nighter. Yeah. I'm serious. it's gonna be the best week of my life (I hope...)!

Anyway, the band I'm most excited for is SKILLET of course. That's a no brainer. They're the LAST band to play so they'll get to play extra long but I'm afraid I'll be dead tired by the time Saturday comes around. I'll just have to try to not kill myself in a mosh pit before then.

Some other bands are the Classic Crime, Tobymac, Switchfoot, Casting Crowns, Family Force 5, and a few other ones that have escaped me. And also, tons of amazing speakers that even me with my short attention span am completely absorbed in.

And of course I'm excited about spending time with my family (heart) especially DAD because we haven't had vacation/chill time since like LAST YEAR. Tons of friendsss will be there as well, and I finally have spending money that I can blow to my heart's desire on unnecessary impulse buys.

A few things I MUST get are: a new guitar pick necklace (BECAUSE I BROKE MINE!!), maybe a new guitar ring because mine is like big on me now and keeps falling off (I swear it hates me and is just trying to get away), TONS OF FREE T SHIRTS, a new pair of sunglasses (even tho I have a million already), and at least one new band t. And I'm going to NOT eat all that nasty cheap food like funnel cake, onion rings, monsters, rootbeer floats, and large popsicles. BLEGH.

Anywayyyy, I might be posting from my cellular telephone sporadically throughout the week so keep checking upp ;]

And so we go.

I'm a Graduated Graduate!

Finally done! I walked down to the Pomp and Circumstance, I sat on that stage for HOURS, I moved my tassle, and BAM! I was free. And now...I'm not even sure what to do with myself. I suddenly realize that I won't be picking out my curriculum for next year. I won't be thinking about coop classes, or fine arts or anything.

Well, now that school is over I can finally have time to update this blog. But now I'm worried that I'll have nothing to talk about! All I ever posted was about school, but I guess now I can just move on to the subject of college.

Speaking of which: to answer the question everyone continues to ask me. No, I am not going away to college this fall. Unfortunately, I will be attending SCCC for the year. The plan was to apply for a full Journalism scholarship at Patrick Henry College, and since I missed the deadline for this fall, I was going to apply for the fall of 2011. But according to Standard Achievement Tests, I'm not smart enough for that. The scholarship is no longer available for me, but I will still be transferring in the fall of 2011 or possible the spring semester preceding it. I'm not very happy about not being able to go away this fall, so forgive my cynicism.

And so we go.

Luke 14 Fair

On May 8th, the youth group of Sparta Evangelical Free Church will be hosting a fair for individuals of all ages with disabilities. The event will be led and organized by the youth group, and have booths and stands powered by volunteers from the church. It is the goal of the youth group to reach out to those who are looked at by the world as being less than someone who is considered ‘normal’, and love them even though they may not be able to give anything back in return.

The concept of this fair was a dream of a girl named Rachel Kuiken. She has had a heart for those with special needs, and desired to hold an event to show her own appreciation for those who are rarely recognized.

The fair will be held from 10AM to 2PM on May 8th. Those of all ages with disabilities and their families are invited to attend to enjoy a day of games and skits.
