Typical Tuesday

*****Daffodils*****

I know I will probably pay for this dearly, but I have to tell all of my Mid-West family and friends who are dealing with snow and other winter weather just how nice the weather is here!! :) It's not exactly sunny, but it's not raining today and the temps are probably in the low 50s! The flowers are blooming beautifully and all in all it is rather nice. It was much warmer and sunny last week, but I will still take 50s and clouds to 20s and 30s and snow! :-P I love all of you guys!! haha!

*****Tulips are my favorite flower, I can't wait until they bloom!!*****

*****I don't know what these next two flowers are but they are pretty. If anybody knows, can you please let me know?*****

Classes were pretty simple today. In Christian Home we started what Bro. Barnes said will be a several class period series on training children. It seems weird to me, who is not even dating anyone, let alone contemplating marriage, or married, or have children, to be learning about raising kids. On the other hand, as Bro. Barnes said, it is better to start learning now rather than after my kids are already born, and I'm trying to figure out how to deal with their problems.
After CH I had a free period in which I got my laundry done, took pictures of flowers, and did some studying.
Chapel was really good today. Pastor Bloom from somewhere in PA was the special speaker today. His passage was Proverbs 4:23, "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." The cool thing was that I had just read that this morning in my devotions! I had really been thinking about that verse all morning already, so when he spoke on it I was ready to listen. For the most part I had heard pastor's use that verse when talking about guy/girl relationships and the importance of keeping your heart for the right one. Pastor Bloom didn't even touch that topic, instead he spoke about the heart. He defined "Heart" as "The secret place known only to you and God. It is who you really are. "Reputation" was defined as, "Who people think you are." He talked about the ways to keep your heart by watching who you spend time with, by what you meditate on, by how you rationalize your actions and thoughts, by your habits, by not desensitizing yourself to sin, and by how God will expose everything. It was a really good sermon.
Christian Womanhood was good. I really like that class cuz we are taking Proverbs 31 verse by verse. I think we did verse 20 today.
I was able to turn in my project for Intro to Missions today. What a relief! :)
Work was just that, work!! :( I really don't like my job. I like to keep things clean to an extent, but cleaning every day gets old REALLY fast! I'll be glad when this semester is over and I can leave the janitorial department behind forever!!
I want to wish a VERY happy birthday to my friend Amanda, AKA Rosebud, and also a happy birthday to Ashley!! Best wishes to both of you!! :) <3

I'm not going to even attempt to talk about classes today. They were bad, that is all I'm gonna say!
Thankfully I didn't have work today! YAY!! I love having days off.
I had my second voice lesson. I hit an A, which with still having a cold, is pretty good. :)
I did my laundry at my grandparents. For those of you here in NY, or who have been here at some point in time, I went out the back door of ICS. There is a hill that I have to go down to get to the road that takes me back to my grandparents apartment. I was in heels and dragging my laundry bag with me, and I managed to make it down the hill OK. It was very slippery, but I did it. After my voice lesson I went down to switch loads. I was still in heels, but I didn't think anything of it, I figured I'd just slide down the hill again, like I had done earlier. This time however I was not quite so fortunate! I managed to slip and fall and land perfectly on my backside! The only problem, our maintenance man, one of the college guys, plus one of the little elementary girls who were outside at that moment! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! The maintenance man had a blanket in the back of his truck and told me to see if I could ride it down the hill!! HEHEHEHEHEHE!!! I tried it didn't work. :( sigh! If there had been cardboard around I would've tried that! Oh well, it was exciting! It made my day!! :))
I cleaned out my closet this afternoon! YAY!! I can now find things, and it is half way organized! I don't have to worry about something falling on me when I open the door, or have to shove stuff in when I close the door! :)
Friday Grandpa and I are going to Carnegie Hall!! I'm soooo excited!! We are going to see the Cleveland Orchestra. I have a friend that plays the cello in the C.O. I was talking to him on the phone today and he said that since Grandpa and I were getting into Manhattan so early (Due to circumstances we will be getting in around 4:00, the concert doesn't start until 8:00), he might be able to take us into Carnegie Hall, and onto the stage, and back stage, etc!! He isn't sure about it, but still, it would be COOL!! :) I hope it works out!
