So I asked Carly (a Senior nursing major) about my hands, and she said that I just have Excessive Dryness, partly due to the weather and partly due to lack of enough water. She said that I should just drink more water, and then she gave me this vaseline-like lotion for me to put on after I wash my hands. They are already getting better! :) It's so great being surrounded by a bunch of future nurses! haha.
So, Wednesdays are long. Class from 8-11, Chapel from 11-12, and then me and my friends go to the Methodist Church in Belton, which serves college students homemade lunch from 11-1 (yeah, it's pretty awesome :). I then go to class from 1-2:20. So today I was gone from 8-2:20, which I know doesn't seem very long (especially for you high-schoolers), but for me it's a change because I never had days like that last semester, and especially taking into account that it starts early.
These past few nights I have not been getting good sleep :(. I mean, it's not like I haven't been sleeping, but it's been the kind of sleep where you wake up feeling like you didn't actually really sleep. Very interrupted, long nights. So, last night was no exception. I slept through EMP (which I haven't done since I started going! I didn't even hear my alarm...), and then was pretty tired all day. AND, to make matters worse, I felt like I was in the beginning stages of getting my seasonal sickness (I can always tell!). So, to combat it, I came back to the room, took an Advil, drank some water, ate a coughdrop, and then Jamie gave me this stuff to dissolve in water that has vitamins and that kind of stuff (I think she said it was called "Airborn"). So I gulped that stuff down, got my pj's on and then read in my bed (I actually didn't have any homework today to do because I only have one class tomorrow and I've already done the homework for it :). Then, I took a quickie hour in a half nap (I made myself not take a super-long one). I feel so much better! Yay! :)
I think that's about it for today... school today was basically the same as Monday, but with Chapel in there. Chapel was pretty intense today - they had these two guys from "Team Impact" who go around and do crazy feats like tearing a phonebook in half and breaking really hard things with their hands and crushing full soda cans in their palms and then share the Gospel. It was really tight. The guy who spoke to us shared his testimony and then shared the full Gospel in a way that was understandable. You could really tell that everyone was actually listening (it was pretty quiet in there). I was just praying the whole time that God would speak to people in there and change lives forever. Let it be so!
Oh, Lifegroup last nght was really good :). It was so great getting back into it! I was a little nervous because it was my official week "interning"... but I think that it went well :).
Tonight I have band practice for Refuge... hope it goes well!
Oh, wait - Question: I will be doing a research paper towards the end of this semester for New Testament. He's giving us a choice of 6. Which one should I do?
1. The Role of Women in the Pauline Churches
2. Women in the World of Jesus
3. Marriage and Divorce
4. Charismatic Worship and Speaking in Tongues
5. Pseudepigraphy in the First Century
6. The Jesus Seminar

My mom swears by airborne. She claims it really works. I avoid it because the kind of carbonation of it makes me gag.
And if I were doing the paper, I would do marriage and divorce.
Wow! That was not the response that I expected to get.
Taylor, you're blogging again! Sweetness. Welcome back.
On second thought, I might do women in the world of Jesus, provided it was a look at the specific women who crossed paths with Jesus (Mary, Mary Magdalene, Martha/Mary, the woman at the well, woman caught in adultery, etc.) , and not just some banal explication on women's roles in first century Israel.


Do Marriage and Divorce.
