Today was a great day! I had two tests which I feel very confident about, and I am going to be watching The Sound of Music with some band kids tonight. Also, I got to go to a meeting with a bunch of government students to hear Mitt Romney's son speak and convince us to vote for his father. It was awesome! but there's another story that I haven't told you yet. A story so obscene you may want to turn away. Just kidding! It's 7:40 in the morning, and I'm sitting in class eating my Pop-tarts and drinking some water. Nobody's mind is working yet, and all the students are kind of grumpy. The professor walks in, and sets down a toothbrush on the desk. "We'll get to that later," he says, "for now, we're talking about sanctification." He then goes on to tell us how we're all set apart for God's personal use, and that when we walk away from God, we become less useful. Nobody's really paying attention, because they're all still ...

So today was spent going in and out of the Tilley after church. While Taylor was doing his laundry we went to the Tilley center to check on the Redskins game. When we went to leave, Taylor had decided that there were just enough people there to try something silly. So as we were walking out the door, Taylor whistles as loud as he can the mockingjay song from The Hunger Games and everyone in the Tilley center whistles it back at different intervals and it sounded just like the movie. After we got Taylor's clothes out of the dryer we went back to the Tilley with my roommates to play soccer and go swimming (I only made one goal on Taylor, he made almost 20 on me). While we were in the hot tub  we met a nice guy who lives only 15 minutes from me and went to OPHS. As we're talking to this guy, my roommates get up out of the water and start dancing. I felt left out, so I got up and joined them. I bet we looked hilarious. Note to self: Roommates are your best mates.

I would hope its not, but as it turned out I had no choice in the matter. But it was kind of fun. To explain: In LU each female dorm floor has a brother dorm floor, and we are expected to participate in co dorm activities. Today before hall meeting we went to the visitors center and made two circles. The girls were on the outside, the boys on the inside, and the girls didn't have to move. There were a couple more guys than girls, so there were two guy pairs switching partners together. We had a partner to talk to for a minute and fifteen seconds, then we would switch partners and the guys would rotate to the next girl. We got a topic question, and one of them was that the guys had to convince the girl they were talking to that they should get married. The guy I was talking to decided that the best place to start would be the beginning, but a few guys got straight to the  punch line making promises they could't keep and getting down dramatically on one knee. Some of them appare...

today, I promise you a painting of the view from my window. So, something to look forward to! Life at Liberty is always exciting. Friday night was prayer all night, in which groups of students take a few hours through the night to walk from station to station and pray for the requests. Lucky me, our dorm and brother dorm didn't have to pray until 7 am Saturday, so I was almost fully awake when we went. After we had finished praying for our allotted hour, we met and worshipped on the hill by Jerry Falwell's grave. The guys had reserved a section of Golden Coral for us (If you don't know, it's an all you can eat buffet that serves anything from breakfast food to dinner food, and all the deserts you could want) so we went, and ate our fill. A few of the girls decided they would like to try chocolate dipped bacon, but I was adamant that I wouldn't eat anything for breakfast that would make me sick. BUt they had fun, and so did I. Note to self: go out with the brother do...

Dreams can be a troublesome, torturous, dreadful thing. So here, internet; my worst nightmare. I was running around the kitchen doing a bunch of tasks like in those time management games; every so often running into another room to press a button on the wall. I didn't know what the button did, but there was a screen above it which showed me my next task in the kitchen. After a few rounds of running I forgot to press the button, and when I went to press it the screen was red. I went back to the kitchen to try and keep going, but i heard a hissing coming from the stove. When I turned to look at what was making that sound ("maybe I left the gas on?") I saw a small head with bright eyes lying on top of a heap of beheaded snakes. I realized that their heads had been chopped off by a guillotine every time I pressed the button. I turned to run, but it followed me, and two more were already coming out of the wall. The one I had first seen was preparing to attack, rising and spre...
