I'm Going Crazy!!

School is exhausting me!!!! I'm so tortured in my dreams about neurons and compassion...compassionate neurons...and dosage calculation problems that TALK TO ME! Even my skills chart in student development in spinning in my head!!!

Kindness and Compassion

Today was pretty fun. I read my Bible, I wrote my blog.. about to post it here in a few.. I watched movies with my family and had family time.. Pretty much a great day. Then I studied. Haha.

I was thinking aabout things along the lines of kindness and compassion earlier. We have this essay we are writing a rough draft for in Composition. The quote we started with was "Kindness gives to another, compassion knows no other" It was only to get our minds stirring for this esay, but I swear up and down...maybe even left and right that Ms. Wijntjes was once a motivational speaker.. Had to be.. She literally puts yu into the shoes of other people. I have been a compassionate person for a bit (ever since right before I was called to do mission work) and here lately it's been getting deeper. I have begun thinking about how I can be MORE compassionate. And then I realized it's no thinking thing! Compassion has started to just come to me! I understand why Jesus died for everyone. He had been in their place, He had been tempted and tried.. He had been there with the sinners and dined with them and told them stories. He loved them! Love people, people! Love them, love everyone!

Love y'all!

Crave Life

Today was fun I guess. I studied...studied....studied...and oh yeah! Studied. And I am STILL not done. I went to Crave tonight. It was amazing. A guy names Stephen was saved last night at Great Escape. AMAZING! But now I am going to read Job 3-4. Night guys!

Booyah!

Today in the Wonderful Life of Lanie...

Today was a hectic day.... until I slept in my car for 3 hours between my 3rd class and my 4th class. Amazing!! I slept so good. But have you ever slept to great and woke up and felt like the whol time you were sleeping that someone was like....watching... you... Idk. I didn't feel it while I was sleeping, but when I woke up I felt like it had happened... I was in the Angelina parking lot. Haha, someone had to watch me at some point...plus I had the windows cracked...for fresh cool air... and I was sleepin heck-a-good... I might have snored haha! Oh well. everyone sleeps that deep at some point in their life. School and studying like crazy AND trying to find a new job... and planning a wedding... and a my birthday is comin up quick (friday the 29th of January!!) I'll be 19. Yay me! (Like London....I can't believe I've just used references from the Suite Life.. Dear Lord, help me. How can I do  that? Amen.) Now I'm about to post my Bible reading. I already write it though. Night

Lanie-Lou

BTW I'm watchcing Psych now!! Yes!

Sittin' at Java Jacks... studying like crazy. Takin' a break to read my Bible and write my blog for y'all. So some back later and you can read what I wrote. I love y'all so much, I love this Bible Challenge. It makes me a happier ( much happier) perosn inside and out... except for today, because I have the worst headache in the world. But I'm still some-what cheerful. It IS my mom's birthday today...so.... see y'all soon!

Mwah!

Psychology

You know? I figured out why people go crazy i this world... PSYCHOLOGY, simply studying it makes me insane. It's so much to read in so little time... AND take notes! But hey, I did sign up for this. I have 4 more hours of studying left today. :D Then it's free time for Lanie!

I read Isaiah 1-6 this morning at about 12:40 before I fell asleep. I will re-read and post it this evenning at about 6. :D Love you guys!

See ya!

Class Was..

Class was nothing short of chaotic for my brain today. First class.. General Psychology. Read Chapter 1 by Monday, nothing much right? Next class, Composition, Read the syllabus and sign onto BlackBoard...nothing much right? Third class, Student Development... read the introduction titled, "Transitions" and check BlackBoard everyday until the assignment comes up, then right the essay thing and take a quiz online every week. Nothing much right? And finally for today Life Span Development Psychology, I had the wrong edition because it was updated between the time I got it (last Wednesday) and today (Wednesday...) So I have to go to the Lending Office to see what I can do to get another one. Haha!

Altogether those assignments don't sound like much either, but what they consist of are crazy.. SO MANY PAGES!! Haha! But I like all my instructors, they are generally nice and level headed...for now... But my Composition Instructor is so looney! She is gonna be crazy fun.. Bhaha!

I also read my Bible today between my 1:10 to 2:40 class and my 6:00 class... yes, I had to wait for 3 hours between classes. I had time to eat Subway, read a bit of my Psychology chapter, take a LOOONNNNGGG nap in my car, have 2 nightmares, and think about life. Then, I walked to the Liberal Arts building and had Life Span Development Psychology.. now I'm thinking of who I can do my case study over. Probably Matt, but then I'd have to change his name for the paper....maybe....King Tutt, or Michael Jackson, or Elvis Presley, or Frederick Hasseldunk... Haha, made up names are AWESOME!

I'll stop boring you with random crap, but maybe I'll write some tomorrow on how my reading is going. Goodnight guys!

Day 4/365 Bible in a Year

So I really like Psalm 1-2 (that's what I read today).

Psalm 1 shows the difference between the faithful person and the wicked person. This was a great Psalm to read on my first day of college. After I read it I felt very fresh on who I was in Christ and I was sooooo glad that I copuld show that even with just my actions. The comparison along with me getting into my psychological thinking after reading my book helped me point out the people I walked by. You can tell the difference so much when you really pay attention to people. Some people are naturally nice and some are naturally rude.  Some would open doors, some would pray before they ate...some would laugh at people because of their differences... :(

Psalm 2 was also equally amazing!! So basically all the nations were angry at God and all the kings were getting together ploitting against the One who gave them life. Well, God rebuked them and showed them what he could do to them while they were attempting to have warfare against God. God had already placed someone to be the king of the land. He gave this leader great victory in the future for the entire earth. He would rule. This I guess is God's way of telling the nations that Christ was coming. He told them all to submit to the royal son of God. All too many times in this world today, when things go wrong people automaticaclly blame God. WHAT????????!!!

Why would you blame God for something you got yourselves into in the first place by abandoning Him?!

Remember to always praise God in everything you do. When things go wrong don't BLAME HIM!! Why blame Him when He is there to help us and give us doorways OUT of problems? Turn to Him, pray to Him. Even when things go RIGHT do it! I prayed all the way home today from Lufkin thanking God for supplying me with the money to start my college education, thanks for family and friends and my fiance for supporting me, thanks for the familiar faces today, thanks for the food, thanks thanks thanks!!! I was enjoying it!!

Have a great evenning guys!!

Today...Was...

This morning.. and I do mean EARLY this morning, I had an old friend of mine tell me I was white trash because I have a quote on quote mediocre job as a "cashier or dishwasher or whatever you are" (even though he cooks chicken in the back of chicken express) and go to a community college!? What in the world. At least I have a job that I somewhat enjoy and go to college unlike some people do or even can. Then he tried to say that my relationship with my fiance (2 years and goin strong) was crappy because we don't even know what the "married life" is. Heads up? He's not married either, he's engaged to someone he JUST started dating in September. I told him that I'm glad that me and Matt are a shotgun relationship. But any way all I was trying to to was stand up for my friend that he was talking trash about for no reason, and look where that got me?! What is this world coming to? You try to help someone out and you just get talked to like your trash for going to nursing school.

Then I slept like... eight hours, so refreshing... got up, cleaned the house, took a shower, ate a (you guessed it!) hotpocket! Then I played with the dogs, studied what the first classes this week will be about. Prayed, read my bible and went to town to wait in a car....for an hour...then I came back home to get my sister..

We went shopping!!

I got a new pair of tennis shoes and a new pair of flats! Which I am glad to say I am breaking in right as I'm typing!!!

Anyway, now I'm about to call my baby, take a shower, and call my baby again. Read a chapter in my Bible that isn't part of the Bible in a Year for today. I am so glad that I have God in my life. I don't know what it would be like in life without Him. Thank you Jesus! Thank you for dying for me.

I start class in the morning!!! I have to get up at 6 AM :D Straighten my hair, brush my teeth, put some eyeliner on, and get cute-ified. Night guys!

Orientation 101

So while I was at orientation fro Angelina College....I totally screwed up my not complaining. I might as well just give up because I am trying as hard as I can and it still is worthless. Lines were backed up so bad. I was in line for two hours for financial aid and when it was my turn I was only in there for not even one minute. I apparently needed something else that they didn't tell me about. No wonder people were walking in excited and walking out frustrated! That was me. And about 5 other people in front of me.

Mt walk with God might as well be givin up on too because it's definitely not getting any better... and I keep falling farther. No matter how hard I try to make habits, they don't stick.

School is going to be great. I have all my books except for my RN Dosage books. I get those at the end of the first week from Lending! My books costed me $305.67!!! Thats without the books I am borrowing from Lending. with those books it would have been more like... $600.00....wow.....

Anyway. I'm so nervous about school. Wish me luck in college!!
