I saw my first firefly!!!! I'm going to catch one and stick one of the huge spiders in with it so it can eat the spider and live a few more days. Impossible I know, but I wish that was a plausible solution to huge spiders. School is hard. Homework is heavy, literally and figuratively. I think I may die. This is the first time I have ever fallen asleep while reading, It was a theology book no less! I know it doesn't show at this moment but like learning and reading, in fact I have a great quote which I totally forgot and I don't have my book at this moment so I can't quote it for you but It makes an excellent point. I like my classes, the teachers are very spirited and they all pray before class begins (=. I need to figure out my schedule so I have time to eat on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Tuesdays I have four classes straight in a row and Thursday I have five. there is not enough time between classes to get something to eat so I need to bring it with me, along with all my books and my camera cause me first class is digital photography. I'm sitting in my history class having a slightly awkward conversation with my neighbor. This is partly because I have no social skills and partly because I have no interest in accounting. But suddenly the conversation became increasingly exciting when it dawned on us that the room was shaking. Like the feeling you would get if you were sitting on top of the dryer. I thought it must have been the construction, later do I find out that we were a part of a 5.9 earthquake! I'll pull you away for a second to tell you that I have spent countless days under my desk practicing for the real thing yet have never actually experienced it and when I finally do it's in Virginia?! what?! Not only that but Hurricane Irene is supposed to hit this weekend. Forewarning I will be out in the wind and rain taking pictures of the event..or just enjoying it. So if you see a tent out in the intramural fields, that's me. Pray that I don't get carried away with a flash flood!
Love you all and God Bless!
p.s. We are speed dating our brother dorm on saturday at 4. I will give you the details about that later but I'm just finding it a little too much "ring before spring" here. For me it will be speed meeting! haha

"Bendy Snap Bracelet" Arm
Dear Liberty Admissions,
Stop being so confusing. My roomate is going postal. On the behalf of both of our safety, I would suggest that you explain what is required of Freshmen and what is optional for us Transfer Students. Thank you!
Sincerely -the other roomate.
A time ago I realized that worrying does nothing to help. It says so in the bible. So I let everything just handle itself or fix the problem if I could, I was not going to let fear take over my life. But this hasn't dawned on other people so I was a bit frustrated by the tense atmosphere in my dorm when events that I was relatively sure weren't for transfer students became required.....then turned out to be optional upon arrival. I'm so glad I slept in for that. I was about to go to something that was 'required' but I decided to sleep in and catch the next one. I later received a text that said it wasn't. Even after all of this I hadn't realized how much I had been judging her. I didn't know where she had come from, I was in the exact same position once. But I still don't feel like I'd be able to help her relax a bit. i still don't know what makes her comfortable. I want this to be a great experience for her but it seems right now all it is is stressful. I hope that changes soon.
Through all the hecktecness I think my first week went pretty well though. I ended up setting off the alarms at the airport. I danced in huge droplets of rain and then proceeded to jump in the pool with all my clothes on. I swear this place reminds me so much of Hawaii and India because of the humidity. Today is the day I finally bought everything i need and I think I still need some more hahaha. I realized I don't have any utensils and ended up eating my leftover spaghetti with a post-it note.Even though things are kind of crazy I feel like God wants me to stay at the circle instead of going to live at the Annex where all of my friends are. I swear these people are crazy! I love them so much already. Dillon is very generous, Cesia is super sweet, Abby is freaking hilarious, so is Ryan. I saw him leaving a classroom I was about to go into and when i told him who my teacher was and he winced and ran away! darnit hard teachers are the worst, but I think I'll like this one. i already like the people I'm sitting next to. Andy and Jared are like big brothers (=. I had a random yet awesome conversation with Chris. Jenny you are so lucky I'm sorry you are leaving but I think I'll enjoy this freaky friday. This school is fantastic they had a late night party at target. it opened for liberty students at 10:30 and the employees were handing out free food and supplies. then you walk over to the baby department and there's a dance party!! A dance party in the middle of the baby department!! Gabe takes my fedora and starts bustin' a move hahaha it was awesome. I hope all days are like this. Rain, thunder storms, late night parties, swimming, bible, sunrises, theology, photography and friends.
ps Jenny wanted me to let you know I have a bendy snap bracelet arm. yes I think I might have broken it at one point and it never fully healed cause sometimes it will pop out of place (in the middle of the bone not at the joint) and then pop back. it feels kind of funky not painful.

Prologue- Where I'm heading and What I'm Doing
Hello Readers (people I forced to read this and Eva!), I get too excited for everything. When I found out I was accepted to Liberty University I packed all my clothes and belongings.....Now I'm no longer allowed to pack anymore because i accidentally shipped all of my shirts >.< . At least it gives me the chance to buy some clothes before I have to abide by Virginia state tax laws. Now here is where I'm going and what I am doing! Lynchburg, VA. Yes it sounds kind of ominous but for the next two years it's home! Underneath take a look at the campus! I'm living on the circle next to the building that looks like a giant astronomy tower. This campus is bigger than the whole town! I'm leaving on tuesday Morning at 11 for those who are counting down the days that I leave. I'll be stopping in Seattle for an hour and then flying all the way to Washington D.C. and driving to Lynchburg. Switching Time Zones will prove to be quiet helpful. I'm going to Liberty to become a photographer. My major is Visual Communications..so i'll be taking way more things than just Photography. i get to delve into painting and sculpture....since I can't draw or sculpt I'll have to be creative. Till I leave then!
