Wikki Stix

Today,

There was a contest

to create something

out of wikki stix.

There are

THREE

size categories:

1 package

2-5 packages

6+ packages

Can you guess how many packages I used to create this?

***Hint: Each package had 8 stix***

 If you guessed 22 packages, you are right!

Now, hopefully I win an iPod or Campus Store Gift Certificate!

Mail!

Today,

I received my

first real

piece of

Mail!

Every day,

I walk past my 

lonely mail box.

Once and a while,

I get something from 

Calvin or,

even worse,

there is a package slip

or letter,

and I pull it out to find

it is for my roommate.

Today,

I got my

very own

piece of mail.

It was awesome!

Thank you Mom!

 

Love you!

A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words...

 Here are my thousand words on how I feel about

my 5-7 page analytical paper

on this book

due 

 tomorrow:

.

Switchfoot and Anberlin

Today,

I had the opportunity to go to a 

Switchfoot and Anberlin concert

on

my campus

for only ten dollars!

Also,

beforehand,

I was able to attend 

a discussion with

Jon Foreman and Stephen Christian,

the band leaders.

 (Sorry, the picture isn't good. I have to use my phone because I can't find my camera...)

I love Calvin College!

Homework and Tea

Today,

has been

a typical Tuesday.

Now,

It is homework time.

(Well, it has been most of the day...)

It is raining

and cold.

So,

I made tea.

But,

not just any tea.

Licorice Spice.

The best tea

EVER.

 (seriously, try it)

All Within Twenty-Four Hours

Last night, at seven,

I arrived back at my dorm.

I knew that I had to do the remainder of my homework after a long busy weekend,

but I was unaware of how much I actually had...

At seven,

I began reading my History

--all fifty-four pages of it--

and my Prelude

--all eighteen pages of it--

and writing my responses

--all four questions, one-hundred words each--

and, then,

around nine,

I realized

I had another paper,

a three page autobiography,

that I hadn't started!

I frantically began to work.

I worked until midnight,

When my brain was no longer functioning properly.

At eight-thirty the next morning,

I woke up and continued working.

and working

and working

(while simultaneously doing laundry)

Eleven-thirty,

I attended my Bible class.

Twelve-thirty,

I ate lunch.

One,

I continued to work on my papers.

Two,

I finally finished my papers.

Two-Thirty,

I attended my Math class.

Three-thirty,

I attended the Prelude Plenary in the chapel.

Five,

I went to dinner.

Six,

I attended my class and turned in my papers.

So,

In twenty-four hours,

I successfully

attended all my classes,

ate all my meals,

finished 3 papers,

and did my laundry.

And soon I will begin another day,

with new challenges,

and more homework.

Welcome to college.

Giving In

Today, I decided to start my own blog.

I check various other blogs everyday and think to myself, 

"I should do that!"

or

"That looks fun!"

but...

what would I write about?

I don't take pictures often,

and even if I did,

I can't find my camera...

I'm not talented at writing. 

So,

you may ask,

why did I start this blog?

Because I gave in.

I thought I would be a fun hobby.

Nobody even has to read it.

If people want to read it,

they can learn more about me.

I can be useful for me to remember what happened on given days

and it can give my family something to read about me while I am away at college.

So, there, that is why this blog exists.

I gave into my desire.

We will see where it takes me.
