Good weekend

So I actually have a lot to say. I really don't know what's going on with that, but here goes.


This weekend I learned or reaffifmed...

Rolling up the windows with your head sticking out of it is not a good idea.

It is wise to roll up your windows before getting into the car wash

No matter how hard you try to open your room door with your car alarm keypad, it won't work

I will never be able to escape Chicago traffic, even if I do leave at 5am

Chicago is the only place where if you drive 25 over the speed limit in a construction zone, you still better be in the slow/right lanes.

There are two major "laws" of the highway. #1 If you are in the right lane behind someone slow and you move over to pass them, they will always speed up. If you have someone tailgating you in the left lane and you pull over to the right, they will always slow down.

I have some really good friends that I sometimes take advantage of

Sometimes what you need to hear or see is clearly right in front of you, but sometimes im too stubborn to accept it

I accept things better when I know I don't have a choice



So this weekend I went home for a day to drop most of my big things home. I stayed til Saturday where I drove to Virginia Beach to meet some friends. Now this past week I've kind of been in and out grieving and such. On Sunday, I went to church. I think the first actual service I've been to in 3 years. I really didn't feel the urge to be there at all, but I am glad I did. The service was a Memorial Day Tribute and the message was on grieving and mourning the loss of someone you love. It was a much needed smack in the face, but I still dont know where I am or how I feel religion/church wise. This verse tho stuck out in my mind and somehow I remembered it

"There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace"

choices choices so many choices

Why does making a decison that affects your future have to be so hard to make? Maybe it's a decision that can change your whole life has something to do with it, who knows. Right now I am caught um between going to Harper and going to U of I. Both have their advantages and both have their drawbacks. For some strange reason U of I accepted me into their school, but I just got a letter saying that I won't be able to take the required courses for my freshmen year and that they don't recommend me taking the ones I can. Which=another year there. I think going there would be fun and part of the "college experience" but I don't want to waste an extra 10gs to go to a school that doesn't expect me to do well. I hate making tough choices like this. I have until June 1 to make my final decison so all you praying type out there, I would appreciate some right about now.
