Long time

It's been a long time. I guess because I am semi-addicted to facebook. It sounds like a bad thing, but I really enjoy catching up with old friends and family.

Now that I think about it....I don't have very insightful ideas and views on things so why do i have a blog? I wish I had more passion for writing, but I don't. So i guess I'll have to live with boring blog posts. Today in contemporary issues we debated about violent protests. I was assigned the opening statement for the "con" sign so my job was to stand up and say, "we believe that violent protest is never necessary". I know....it was super hard. The other people on my side had to come up with arguments and rebuttals. I always get stuck with the group who has no idea what they are talking about. I kinda do, but no one listens to me and I don't explain my ideas very well. So it just frustrates me because the whole time the other side is laughing at our responses so I get all prideful and do the exact same things. :( So today was frustrating...

But on a happier note, I'm going to my 6-year-old cousin's birthday party! ok enough for now.

I got accepted to BIOLA!!!

College

So why does it cost $45 to submit an application to a private university? It's not like were not gonna pay them a ton of money anyway... i don't get it. Well, i'm applying at Biola University, San Diego Christian College, Vanguard University, and Azusa Pacific University. So like $180. Yeah whatever... and toatlly bad time cuz Christmas is coming up.

Brickfish

Dark Knight!

Dark Knight was so good!

Just so you know...

Go see it!

I miss God... :(

I have been away from my friends and church for a little over a week now and I hate it. We didn't go to church last Sunday because we got in late Saturday night. We're going to Chuck Swindoll's church tomorrow so I guess it will be ok tomorrow. I have been living with non-Christians this week and it's not fun. Now I see why it's so hard to have an immediate family member who's not a believer...not good. In my family, we always pray before we eat and this last week it's just been awkward so we kinda just started eating. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it's kinda hard to see my dad not step up (because he's always the one to pray)...maybe I could have stepped up. I guess it's just hard to step up when you don't have that role model right there. I just miss God.

Extravaganza Journal #2

Well last night was very interesting. My aunt came over and started bawling because she hasn't seen us for 10 years and blah, blah, blah...and she smells like smoke. I have twins 18-year-old cousins and a 15-year-old cousin and we all went to a restaurant together last night. I'm pretty sure I have never felt so awkward and completely different in my whole life. The last time I saw my cousins I was 7 years old so we don't really remember each other and they are just so different. They are all smoking and I feel so awkward because I was about to cough up my lungs. Anyways...last night I got to hang out with my grandpa....this man is my favorite! He is hilarious! This morning he took my sis to watch the sun come up (cuz we don't have the same sun in Fresno...) on his new motorcycle. Now this motorcycle is called the Tango (or the banana as my grandma calls it). Just the name itself doesn't sound like a normal motorcycle. It has three wheels and looks like a European electric car thing, but it's a motorcycle and he let me drive it! It was so terrifying! It doesn't have a gas petal, you have to use the throttle....it was terrifying but I didn't run through any fences or anything...and it's bright yellow! So my 64-year-old grandfather drove me around Dallas in a bright yellow Tango! And last night we went to Bennigans (we used to have one where Logan's Roadhouse is now in Riverpark) because my mom used to work there and she loves this sandwich so we went there and I had the "Ultimate Baked Potato Soup" and oh my goodness......so good! So tonight were going to a steakhouse that apparently has the biggest baked potatoes. So we'll have a good dinner tonight.
