Non-stop

At this time next week I'll be completely done Semester One. It will feel completely liberating, and I'll get to come home and not do any homework for once.

I have one more day of classes left, and I will start writing exams next week.
I don't think I've ever had a busier two weeks of school ever.

The weird thing about it is that I feel like I've done nothing at school all week. My teachers aren't giving a lot of homework, and classes have been relatively easy. However, as soon as I get home, the real work begins and I'm working 3 or 4 hours every night. Last weekend I did over 9 hours of homework/studying/exam prep.

If only we could cut the school day out completely and simply work at home. It would be so much more productive.

Anyways, I'm gonna pull through. We're almost there.

So, in retrospect, I probably acted a little bit rash today.

Sometimes I am just so outspoken; when I want to do something. I want to do it now.

It's something I need to work on.

4 more days.

that I am so ready for this semester to be over.

I'm completely exhausted.

5 more days of class

A tiny little spaz.

So, I am completely fed up with Microsoft Word. Actually, I'm completely fed up with everything Microsoft!

Today I was trying to type up some french vocabulary on a word document. I made sure to change the language default to French so that I wouldn't see a red squiggly line underneath every word.

However, because I was writing the vocabulary in both French and English the stupid computer thought that I wanted to speak English and automatically changed the default language back to English.

And, I have never seen so many stupid "auto correct's" in my life! Don't auto correct things for me computer! I'm smart enough to know what I want to type.

I CANNOT wait for my Macbook. Which I will be buying in the spring.

Good riddance Microsoft!

Flirting is selfish

It accomplishes nothing except for a fleeting time of attention.
It thinks only of oneself.
It communicates:

I want attention
I want to see if I can get a reaction out of this person.

It does not communicate clear intentions, and it has the ability to steal a portion of someone else's emotions and heart without commitment to that person

And man, I am a culprit of this.
Time and time again.

But I think it's time I revealed flirting for what it is.

This world has named it as something innocent, insignificant, and fun.
But it's a tool that takes someone's God-given influence and uses it for destruction.

I cherish my heart. I realize that one day I will give it to the man that I marry.
If I value my heart, then I really need to value the hearts of my guy friends.

Women are powerful. They have the ability to build a man up in Godly friendship, and they have the ability to tear one down with flirting and false impressions.

I really want to live a life of purity. And purity is not the "churchy" definition of abstinence.
No, it is a divine commitment to God and to the men in your life to live a life of righteousness, and holiness.

I don't EVER want to be the culprit of stealing a man's heart.
A heart is a gift.

Flirting a little bit to have some fun, without taking my guy friends feelings into account, and without any intention of following through is selfish and misleading.

And I think it creates soul relationships from temporary feelings instead of spirit relationships developed from the blessing of God.

And anything created by the soul won't last, but that which is formed from the spirit of God will last a lifetime.

Having a dream that seems impossible must just mean that it's from God.

I spent the last few days at a conference called "Heavy Rain"

I feel like God's taken my dried up heart, pealed off the outer layer, and let it beat again.
For him.
For the desires of my heart.
For intimacy with him.

I'm excited about 2009.
