WSU here I... maybe come

Woot! so yesterday I got accepted to WSU. I haven't totally decided whether I prefer going to UW or WSU but it's good to know that at least one of them will take me. It was funny, the second line of the acceptance leader said that now that I've been accepted they want me to send them $200 ASAP to confirm my plans to enroll there. Fortunately it doesn't have to be paid until May 1st. By then I should have heard back from UW.


Oh, and to add even more options to the mix, I'm looking at applying to Montana State. When I took the ACT I had my scores sent there and since then they've been hounding me with mail and phone calls trying to get me to apply. Plus they say they will offer $8,000 in scholarships per year which might be really nice. But at least for now I know that I have at least one option.

Why

So probably most of you have heard by now that within his first week in office, president Barack Obama has already put forward his stance on abortion by allowing the continuation of government support to organizations that perform abortions. Let me say that if you don’t believe unborn babies are not really human, I can sort of understand how you could think abortion is ok. However I don’t understand why anyone would want to use government money to support such abortion. If your ignorant and thus think it’s ok is one thing, but why do we have to support it?

If this sounded at all disrespectful, I’m sorry and that was not my intention. Just letting off a little steam (I’m sure Hannah and Emily could come up with a better term for that.)

I can't think so I'll be random

Waaaaaahhhh... I just remembered that set my alarm again for tomorow morning. Man the weekend is nice. Spanish is killing me. The thing is since my teacher gives practice tests I could probably just studdy the practice tests and do way less work and still get a good grade, but no, it's that stupid thing called a work ethic that makes me want to actually learn the darn material.

I'm so soar. On saturday a bunch of us helped out a family from our church who had had a mudslide right next to their house the last big rain storm we got. So I spent an entire day hauling 35-50 pound sand bags straight up a hill that was steaper than Alabama, about 3/4 as long and that had so tough a terrain it was at times slightly difficult to find a footing. Fun fun.

Randomness

To be completely random I thought I would start off with a couple of book recomendations

My utmost for his Highest - I know everyone knows about it and I've even recomended on my blog before but let me just say once again that it is an amazing book.

"Hankbook to Prayer: praying scripture back to God" by Keneth Boa. An outstanding prayer book consisting of lots of great bible verses. Truly amazing.

Ok on a little more corny side, tonoght my GF won the limbo contest at the all church family skate night. I was so proud of her. I felt like such a nervous parent watching her every round. But in the end she was amazing. I do have to say that I feel sorry for you abbie, but only, you had nothing on Aidoo.

Do I need coffee?

Today I got home from school and decided I needed some coffee. So I made myself a cup just fine and dandy. When I had poured my cup of coffee…

“ah the smell of Caffeine,” said I.
Janel responded sarcastically, “you don’t need coffee do you? You can’t be tired.”
“Yes I need coffee” retorted I.

Then I turned around but apparently I must have turned around to fast because with a swoosh my coffee sailed up and over the rim of my cup and from there proceeded to quickly make its dissention to the floor below where, with a terrific splash, it made a ever so messy puddle on the floor. Case in point: you know you need coffee when you can’t even keep the coffee in the cup.

And for anyone who was wondering I’m not complaining about school. Hannah and me decided that it’s grief sharing not complaining (she’s taking a head-shrinking class incase you couldn’t tell).

I survived

So I maid it through the first week of school. Spanish is going to be a killer. But I've heard from two sources that the first couple of weeks are the worst. It seams kind of strange that I have two tests already on Thursday. Who has to take tests on the second week of school

Abbie, you'll be glad to see that I added a history for you.

Back to school

If you had of asked me four days ago if I was ready to go back to school I would have said no way. But now I think I am. Both of my College application (UW & WSU) are sent in and I think I'm ready to take this on. So... Here I go. Back to school again (what joy).

This past week was actually really cool. You see, every day I made a schedule and every day I didn't think that I would be able to complete as much as I needed/wanted to get done in that day. But God proved himself awesome and everyday I completed my list of things to do.

Origami

Ella: I'll warn you that I'm welled versed in the ancient art of Origami.
Bad dudes: Paper folding?
Ella: I hoped you wouldn't know what that was.

So while you all are recovering from the fact that I just quoted from a chick flick on my blog, I would just like to inform you about the new hobby that my little brother has picked up and gotten quite good at.

Does this swan look familiar to any WCC people?

In case you were wondering there's a swan, ninja star, dog, ninja star thingy, and throwing nives pictured above.
