Right now, I am sitting in my PJ's in my room. Yes, I am not in class, because I am sick. I think I have some stomach flu or something. I don't want to take a shower or go to class, because it is WAY to far from a bathroom. Plus, if I don't feel good at all, I won't learn anything in class. I know that people will fill me in about the class, and I hope there is no quiz today. Well, if there is, I will do it another day I guess.
So, I was going to write this blog but I got sidetracked started looking at Facebooks. About 20 students have Facebook so I many more Facebook friends now. Its nice. They do funny things and there is a group for Summer Studies and they have pictures up there, but I am not in any of them. Alright, I bet you guys want to know what I have been doing.
Lets see,
On Tuesday, I went to class. After the first class was chapel. Chapel is located in a regular event room so its not traditional at all. Its cool because they have worship and then a guest speaker. Another class, and then lunch. I think I had a taco. The room is so crowded at it is hard to find people to sit with. Then after lunch a friend and I went to get a sweater from our dorm because the classrooms are so cold. We barely make it back to class and I was late by 3 minutes or so. It was alright though. More class. There is alot of class time but it is OK but it is pretty fun. Got back to the dorm and read, I think, or maybe I hung out in some of the rooms. I went over to some of the rooms and talked to some of the other girls. It was nice to find that alot of people have the same things in common. I don't really remember all that much now. I know you guys want alot more detail but I have gone insane recently. Yesterday, in the cafeteria when I was getting silverware, I grabbed 3 forks. I did not need 3 forks but I put them on my plate. I realized what I was doing and slapped my self on the forehead and shaped my finger into a gun and pointed at my forehead. One of the guys must of been behind me because he said "That was really cute." I just rolled my eyes and walked away. He is one of those hyper types. If Lori were here and he was 2 years younger, Lori would probably like him. I also figured out another reason for my complete insanity, besides the amount of reading in my class. There is this guy that I really want to get to know, but I don't know how. He was walking by 3 minutes before my insane act so I think it is partly his fault. He is very mysterious. He seems shy but I don't think he is. Oh well, he will be going home soon and lets just say he does not live in Ohio. Oh, well, if it is meant to be, God will work it out.
So, what else do you want to know? Am I homesick? Yes. I feel like I love this place but I want to be home and watching TV and not having to worry about Federalism or the Constitution. I miss my kitty. I miss her curling up in my lap all cutely. I also miss my family. I miss my sisters. I want to talk to them about boys or imaginary world. I miss my parents and their talks with me. I miss my iced coffee drinks. I know I have another week, but I am just realizing how nice I have it at home. Some of the students don't even want to go home, and that makes me wonder how God gave me such an awesome family. I also miss my friends and church. If you are reading this and consider yourself a friend of mine, I miss you! Please email me, IM me or send me mail. I love mail, but I not gotten any yet.
I am going to sum up the rest of the days for you now. Putt Putt, singing, laughing, prayer, Flip Flops, studying, ice cream, Facebook, class, more studying and sleep. I am going to go to lunch soon and then go to the last class of the day. Alright,
TTYL,

College Day 3
Yeah, so I started class today. I like my professor. He is very animated and humorous. I am pretty glad to be in his class. I hope you guys don't expect me to make a long page like I did yesterday. I really can't cuz there is so much reading I have yet to do. I am a slow reader and there is alot to read, so I am not totally sure I will make it, but with the strength of God I can do anything.
I have so many friends now; I am going to hate to leave. Maybe if I come back next year, there will some of them here. I already have some of the girls Facebook so we can still keep in touch. There is even a guy that I kind of think is cute and overall very cool. So I must sign off now. I hope my friends are going to send me mail...

College. Day 2
Hey everyone. I survived my first day away from my family. It was hard. I almost cried when they pulled away leaving me to check into my room. Its better now. I already know so many people. I even remember names. I felt apart of this group after one day, I can't believe what it will be like after 2 weeks. I start classes on Monday. YAY. I am pretty excited because there are only 45 students here. That means that there will probally be 10 students in my class. That is like a dream come true for me.
My impressions of the school are really nice, it is def. a place where I could consider going. My feelings could change later, but this place is nothing like I thought it would be. The RAs are funny. They have a sense of humor. I thought they would be a bunch of extra conservative poeple, but they remind me of my youth leaders back home. Its nice.
Ok, on to what I did last night. After I unpacked, all the students went to the Green Center and we met the RAs and RDs. Then we played some games. The first game we had to find signutures for the things on this list. You had to go around and ask poeple if they could sign your list. One of them was "you have been on television". I signed that for a lot a poeple. This was a great way to introduce myself. After that we played "Wind blows". There are two students in the center of a circle and everyone else in sitting in a chair. The two people find something in common and say "The wind blows if you are wearing blue" or something like that. Everyone runs to another seat if that is true for them. The two left standing find something they have in common and it starts again. I don't really like running but this game was fun. I got in the center maybe 3 times. The last game was fun too, but I don't have all that much time to talk about it. I'll sum up the rest of the night. Beach ball vollyball, fun, hanging out in dorm, fun, rootbeer floats and rules, small group time, met the RA's for the girls and went to sleep.
I took a shower this morning. It was not as weird as I thought. It was nice. Well, now I have to finish my hair and do my make-up for church. Yes, I am going to church, unlike some heathens that I know(you know who you are ;) )
I may give update later, but if not, I'll post tommorow.

Sick
Hi,
Here is a update. I turned 17 a week ago. It was nice. I got lots of cool presents. My favorite present was a homemade scarf I got from my sister. It is purple and green. I love it very much. It's wierd being 17. I feel a little older but I still look 14. Everyone tells me how young I look. I guess its ok.
So, I am sick. I have a cold. I can hardly breathe through my nose. I hate that. It means that I can't sleep at night. It's terrible because I have a trip on Sunday. I don't want to be sick on my vacation. That would be tragic. If you read this, pray that I feel better by this Sunday.
In other quick news.. I have new FanFiction stories. I would like you to read them if you like Life With Derek.

Are You Lucky?
Do you have a mom and dad love you?
Are both of your parents alive?
Do your parents still love each other?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you are lucky.
Do you have best friends?
Do have at least one friend who would come save you if your car broke down on the highway?
Do at least 20 people know and remember your name?
Is there a place where you can go where you know you will be accepted?
If so, you are loved.
Do you have a warm place to sleep every night?
Do you eat 3 aduqate meals a day?
Do you have more then 3 pairs of pants(nice, clean pants)?
Do you eat out at least once every couple weeks?
If you said yes to at least once of those above, you are rich.
Have you ever been shot at just because you were at the wrong place at the wrong time?
Have you ever had to worry about being abducted during the night?
Do you or someone you love have AIDs and are dying from it?
Have you ever been forced to kill your own mother?
Have you ever even had to choose between your life or the life of someone you love, knowing that one of you would have to die.
If you replied "no", you are luckier than lots of kids all over Africa.
Do you know where you are going where you die?
Do know that God loves you and wants a relationship with you?
Have you accepted Christ as your personal savior?
Do you know that you can be forgiven no matter what you have done or will do?
If you said "yes" to all of the above, You are blessed.
If you said "no" to even one of the above, you are still lucky, but you don't know for certian where your life will lead you. You need someone who will lead you and love you wherever you are. When life is great and when life is rotten, He will be there. I know this, because I have seen it. I am loved, lucky and rich but I am nothing without His love. Jesus is my superhero because he saved me from my death. I know I will go to heaven. I hope to see all my friends there. I hope to see you there.
All you have to do is surrender... Your life is not about you and what you want. God put you on this earth for reasons unknown to everyone but him. If you let him guide you, he will help you do things you never knew you could do. He can use you to change the world if you let him. Please, just surrender, you won't ever regret it.
Over and Out,
Brenna
