Shakin' not stirred

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
