wow, that was a close one! i almost lost my entire blog over my forgetfulness and trusting in technology. see, i told my computer to remember my password to this account, but when computers get sick they tend to forget important stuff like that, and my computer just got sick... well, moving on, i'm doing this paper on seinfeld. i got to pick the topic myself, and i was thinking how nice it was at first, but now i'm in over my head. i have no idea where to go from here. how exactly do you research a television show? or i guess a better question would be, "what do i want to discover through this topic?" i honestly just like seinfeld, but my paper is coming along. as for school, i've learned to cope with all the stress. i suppose i have no other choice. life never gets easier, it only has vacations (which i wouldn't mind having about now). in a related topic, the closest thing to my heart right now is getting home for thanksgiving. i just want a chance to catch up with myself and see everybody. this time, i'll probably get to see most of my friends. i say most, because i know i won't be able to see all of them :(. well... i guess something bright to look at would be God's answering of my many prayers this week. He has been showing me a great deal of room for improvement in my life, which for the first time, i'm finally being able to stick to the discipline it takes to pull through on that kind of stuff. for the most part right now... life is just good. i can't say that it is easy, but it is good. the thoughts that have been consuming much of my time lately have been focused on self improvement and God's promises coming true. i am really feeling like my life is going in the right direction right now. the clouds are also parting in a sense. not that the work load at school is getting any lighter or anything, but all i really have to say is God is faithful. for the first time in a long time, i have stopped focusing on myself and have been able to see that truth clearly. i guess the last thing i'm going to talk about shall be comical (or at least, i think so). my roommate sleepwalks. and that's not the whole of it because sleepwalking happens to the best of us. the trick is, i've figured out a way to make him sleepwalk. it is the funniest thing ever! you have to wait until he is in a deep sleep. you know this when you yell out his name and he doesn't respond. after that, you ring the gong (yeah, i got this gong at a yard sale at my church. it looks and sounds real, but it's just electronic). as soon as you ring it, he sits right up in bed and starts muttering really weird stuff. if you're lucky, he'll get out of bed and put on a show. i think it has something to do with the soundwaves from the gong interfearing with the brainwaves in his dreams that makes him do this, but so far it's worked every time. maybe i'll be famous or something... help pay my way through college. well, anyways, i'm going to bed (after i get all these ants off of my computer!!!). God bless you all, and have a pleasant (morning/day/afternoon/evening/night) (pick the one that best applies to you.
