The Empty Child

So. I finally get to update this thing. College has made my life so busy, crazy, fun and stupid...all at the same time.

Since my last post...half a semester has come and gone. One of my classes, Business Administration 100, was only a half a semester long, so it's already over. It was a really fun class and I miss it.

German 101 is kicking my butt. I'm working really hard and its starting to pay off, but I keep wanting to put Spanish words in there, I don't know how people who speak like 5 different languages do it. Also my TA in that class is a Carolina fan and he has been very helpful since he found out that I am from that area. :P

Physics 101 is really boring and I hardly understand the teachers accent...I think its Russian. I actually think that I learn more by reading my book than her teaching...but I still go to class.

Math 142 I kinda boring because everything we are learning, I've already learned before. I really have to work to stay focused and do well.

Tennessee Sport Legends (yes that is a class) is awesome! I love my Professor and I think that I am one of his faves :) Like, the other day I was walking back to my dorm from the library and he happened to be walking out at the same time. We then walked back most of the way back to my dorm talking about all kinds of random stuff then he split off to his office and invited me to come by sometime hahaha and I proceeded to my dorm.

Finally, Theatre 100...now I love theatre and drama, but this class is really getting on my nerves. We were put into groups, I ended up being group leader, but mine was split up because we weren't doing very well on our projects and we were changing stuff like 2 days before the project was due. In our new group, there was a different group leader and I was glad because that meant that I didn't have to do as much...HA! Well, turns out that our leader wasn't so good and when I e-mailed the teacher about it, she e-mailed me back asking me to be the new leader...grrr. So I was ok with it, telling everyone that I wanted their opinion and suggestions when it came to our final project. Well, here we are, the project is due in 2 days and no one had told me that they wanted to help or anything...until this morning in class when a girl said that she wanted to change her character's costume...I tried to work it out calmly and she was like "Don't get mad! Gosh you're always getting mad at us!" I told her that she was putting words in my mouth and that's why I didn't want to be leader. To which she responded, "You're the one who asked the teacher to be leader" I told her that that's not what happened, that our teacher put me in the leadership role and I didn't ask for it. Then she told me that I never am open to suggestions. I didn't know what to say, I had included my cell phone number and told them if they had any questions or suggestions to text, call or e-mail me. Really long explanation, I know, but I can't afford us doing a bad job on this because I need a good grade in this class. This project is worth a big portion of our grade, it's in leu of a final. I wish I knew how to handle this...

On a lighter note, I'm going home this weekend and I'm going to be a leader for D-Now, which is like a church retreat, but staying in town. I'm pretty excited.

I also found out that I won't get my car back from the shop until probably Wednesday and I leave on Thursday...

God is really teaching me something, I just wish I knew what it was that He's trying to teach me.
