Yes this is what caused all that stress

Back in the CO

Ah home sweet home

LA is a big blob of light at night, how sad



Sunset before the flight

Sunsets and absolutely no sushi

This is the beach at sunset yeah amazing

This is part of my final so far it took me eight hours and I designed it myself so yeah...I am tired night.

Building Sand Castles

I got the oppurtunity today to just chill at the beach with people I love spending time with. The oppurtunity to fellowship in community was I nice break from the chaos of campus and just how busy life is here. I really don't have anything to report on life cause I took a day off today and tommorow I start hitting the books for finals. God is moving here and that is all you need to know.

A change of Season

Apparently Cali has a fall too, who knew? Anyways college life has been good to me but I am definatly ready to be home for a couple of days. Now with the prospect of home actually on the horizon I am kinda homesick it is rather strange who would have known as long as I don't put my mind on it I could probably stay out here forever. Strange how life works in that way. Another strange thing has been happening I had another set of midterms last thur and today and again I didn't do too good I D+ed my philosophy test( I can still pass but it put a damper on my day) cause I proably bombed the related rates test in calc. About the whole philosophy thing I am really frustrated with the whole prospect of it. I have enough arguments in the dorm about God and existence that I don't need a class for it. I have come to the realization that I do not have to defend my God. How can I defend that when they don't know what I have experienced and how I know Jesus was the son of God and he is God and there is God. Then when I get back my paper and it says I have unexploded potential I am like" Urg" because I am having a hard time already balancing the call of God in my life here and the whole school aspect of it. When I devote 15 hours to studying for a test I expect to actually know what I am doing, but no, apparentley I don't. It seems the less I study the better I do it is a strange phenominum, urg. I know I am rambling sorry. Yah I know I have unexploded potential but I am not going to argue to a teacher that God exists with all my effort and time because I am here for the people around me and what God is doing here. I know Mom and Dad probably don't like this but God comes before school. I am tearing myself apart because I am trying to please my earthy parents as well as my heavenly one and it is a handful. I'll shut up now but yah I am going to have to play a different strategy these next couple weeks cause the one I have been employing isn't working.

Arch-a-tastic

So this one time Architecture was amazing but it is pretty crazy at times and this is only the first quarter. As I sit here writing there are many people( probably half of the arch students, including my roomate) who are going to pull all nighters. The problem of procrastination is that it doesn't get done and people end up not having enough time. Yup and that is a bad thing. But not me.



Anyways here is the room it has gotten a lot more home-like with Wilburt my new plant he isn't doing too well right now but I am nursing him back to heath. I think I should probably pot him that might help...yah well anyways I am calling it a good night so night.

If you are wondering how I am doing because I can see how my last blog entry might have been really worrisome to some of you. Know I am in a much better place God has been showing me that next level that he wants to take this campus and also what he wants to do with christgianity in this nation. Pray for me cause it is an uphill battle. I do have the lord fighting for me though so I am not worried. All I will say about this next step it is going to be a time of a lot of prayer and a lot of rejoicing.
