Did I mention...

I have a HUGE pimple on my nose and I look like rudolph?


Tis the season!

No Computer Charger

My computer charger, I forgot in Arkansas...................it's being shipped still.

But for the mean time I guess I can tell you about my weekend.

So to start it off I get on a plane to come home and I sit next to a fluffy man (see below). He was going to Santa Fe for work. He told me all about his work and Santa Fe and how he travels oh so much. I get off the plane and rush through the Dallas Airport and get on my second plane to travel two and half hours. It was painful, long, and dreary. The man next to me was a lawyer coming from Denver and he worked for UNO which is a company based out of Richmond that is for organ donors.

And the lady on the other side of me was coming from Lousiana and she works for a paper company. She told me about this really cool place. Its on the belt way in D.C. and its put on by the Gaylord Hotel and its the National Ice Harbor and they bring Chinese over to sculpt Christmas themes (this year the grinch) and have a ice slides for you to go down and igloos to play in. Very interesting.

Then I worked a 30 hour weekend and played as my boyfriend came to Richmond to surprise me. It was fun. Then I worked this week and did nothing too exciting. Except hate the snow. A lot.

BUT tomorrow I am going to the beautiful Key West, Florida for a whole eight days. It really is going to be that great. :)

See ya snow!

Take a gander

God is sweet to me. 

I read Romans 3 today and Paul presents the question, "If by sinning we can more clearly see what is righteous, why should we still be deemed sinners?" In other words, if by doing evil we cause a greater good, then are we still evil, or are we righteous? Well as humans, we have a sinful nature, and we seek righteousness. By sinning we learn righteousness because now we know that sin is not righteous. 


I feel like as a sinner I take it for granted. I know that God is forgiving and loving, but why am I so ashamed of a God so beautiful, forgiving, and unchanging? A question still to be unanswered after many months on contemplating in my head.


Anyways, I leave Arkansas tomorrow and I know have blogged twice today. I guess I had some more to share then planned. Maybe I'll take a few days off and have something really exciting  to inform the people who don't read this. 


Pitiful life I live as a blogger. 
Anywho, Amalie's bed is quite comfy.
Night blog world. 
Here is something to look at before you go to leave by the way:

And break!

Sooooo, today was stressful. I will tell you about my extraordinarily terrible day: awaken at 5:30 a.m mind you to study, final at 8 a.m. and I finished at 9:17 a.m., study study study for philosophy (since I failed to do so last night because math is my weak point), final at 1 o' clock finished at 1:17, lose keys....,walk about a half mile back to my philosophy teacher's office and walk back to the quads, get my books to return to my Athletic Advisor, check out of my dorm at two, shower, finish packing, get ready, and now write a blog to tell you about how I had to do this all in a timely manner.

Seeing that I have had a headache for about five days straight and studied my life away yesterday if feels good to just be able to take my time after the 7+ hours of madness. (And no this headache is not because I religiously have been listening to gLee for a week straight.) Might I add I think I only missed a maximum of two questions on both finals. It feels good to be successful in a class you barely listened in (philosophy). But seeing how great this day turned out to be I managed to fit a 30 minute nap in the time of Iwannacutmyheadoff crunch.

Now I get to go and spend the night in my roommates Nebraska-esk room down south in Cabot, AR, see her family, and baby Reese. Pretty great.


See ya Jonesboring, Arkansas. It was nice for 5 months, but this one month break is going to great without ya.

Side note:: I will miss my lovely roommates, teammates, d-group, and more.

Dead Day

Approaching literally the end of the semester in 1 day I have a busy break ahead. Seeing that today is "Dead Day" which means no classes and we just study our lives away for the greater good of finals. I have studied for math for about 2 hours today and this final is comprehensive. Grand. As I procrastinate more I get to go spend an afternoon with my bowling teammates and do our yearly Secret Santa fun. My "secret" and by secret I mean everyonefiguresoutwhotheyhavebeforethegiftexchange santa will be able to have a lovely meal at her favorite restaurant. Then back to slaving over math and philosophy until 8 am tomorrow morning. Quite ideal if I do say so myself. 


After I am finished with my finals I will headed to lovely Cabot, AR to stay at my roommates house (Amalie) before I head home for the holidays, Thursday morning. Then ten days from now I go to Key West, Fl with my boyfriend's family and then come home for a week and head to Las Vegas, NV for a week of bowling with my family and boyfriend as well..


Tough life, I know. 


Well off I go seeing that it is crunch time before my first semester as a college Sophomore is over. 

Merry Christmas Emily Troutman!
