stories of a real life wonder woman

I didn't post sooner because I was feeling dead-ish...with moving into a new place last weekend and unpacking boxes during the week...then going to BOND this weekend...my body last night and today is all like "I know you are feeling better but calm down ya cray cray"...along with that I keep getting these massive headaches from my medicine (and yes I know the difference between a medicine headache and a normal one)... I also didn't post because I am not sure what to post about...I have a lot of ideas but nothing really stands out... First I should say...I love being in my own apartment...it's the best...I got internet and TV set up on Tuesday and even with all the problems with my heat (the heating guy came three times and my landlords wife came twice to try and get it to work...it works now) I really am enjoying having my own space...I missed this a lot...people keep asking me when I wanted to move out and I tend to tell them since I moved back in after getti

"But God will, He will finish what he started. No thread will be left unwoven. Nothing will be left undone. Every plan and every purpose that He has will be accomplished. And God will finish what's He's begun." ~Steven Curtis Chapman 'Finish What He Started' First I would just like to say I have been listening to Steven Curtis Chapman since I was really young...I love the truth that can be found in his lyrics...I feel like he writes these words that speak right to the very core of me and what I am dealing with... Second...I am moving into a new apartment this weekend so I probably won't be able to post my normal Sunday post...I most likely will not have internet until later during the week...so I am posting this now...because it's been on my mind... So on to what's been on my mind... I feel like I am relearning how to live...what I mean by that is I have spent so many years of my life with death as my next door neighbor that

I think honesty is always the best policy...but I have learned over the years that not everyone wants the truth or even wants your opinion...not knowing that has gotten me in trouble... The other thing that has gotten me in trouble in the past is that I have had a lot of friends who have said they like how honest I am...they like that I am not afraid to speak my mind...they wish they could be as honest as me...they like that I am blunt and don't beat around the bush when it comes to sharing what I think or know to be true...the problem has come when they have asked me for my opinion or my thoughts on something they are doing...they have asked me to be honest but then haven't liked the things that I have said... In other words my big mouth has ruined friendships... But there is really more behind it than that...because in more recent years I have waited for people to ask me what I think...I have agonized over how to say the things I want to...wanting to be gentle and lovin

I kind of suck at this being on campus thing after not doing it for so long...though in my defense at GCU the majority of my classes were like two buildings away from my apartment...I would wake up like ten minutes before class so I could pee grab something to eat and head out the door...but U of I is a bit bigger than GCU...and there are a crap ton of people... So far for my on campus days I have had one good one and one not so good one...on Thursday I had fun in class we went all over using cars to see different cool special collections and the mass storage so that was fun...Friday we walked all over campus basically to see rooms that had once been libraries...so that felt a bit pointless... The high light of all of this has been the time that I have gotten to send with two of my best friends...my brother Garrett and my bestie Nicole...Gar showed me around U of I a bit and I went to part of a bible study with him...then CRU Thursday night...I also went to watch him play soccer in
