This one is for Kristin, my lovely roommate, who reminded me that I have a blog...

Yes, I have been a major blog slacker over break... Sorry peeps. So, is everybody gearing up for another semester? (Oh yeah, you can't answer that question because my tagboard is down and I haven't learned how to set this up so that you can respond to posts. That must be frustrating.) Anyways, I hope that everybody is keeping warm and resting up for another crazy GCC semester. Cya in a few!

Hey everybody!

Sorry it's been so long. I'm on vacation now, at a cyber cafe with my mom, so I can't write long. I hope you're all enjoying your breaks and getting pumped for next semester. It'll be sweet to see y'all again.

So what kind of crazy people live in that mad cow disease state anyways? JK roommate. Stay warm guys!! :)

p.s. I'll be back on the 6th, so leave one on my tagboard.

Hey guys!

Studying for finals is really great...on OPPOSITE DAY! But it could be much worse. Umm...I'm trying to think of ways it could be worse, but I'm just not that creative. So take my word for it: it could be. And soon we'll have a month without schoolwork! Yeah, that's how it could be worse. We could be starting up a new semester directly after finals. Now that would really stink.

Anywho, here's my big event of the day... As many you know, I injured my big toe a couple weeks ago. Well, the toenail became pretty detached today. So Kristin, Andy, and I have shared the joy of seeing underneath my bloody toenail. It's pretty disgusting, so I won't go into the details.

It's sad to be done with this semester. I'm sure the future holds some good times too, but so many amazing things have happened in my life this semester. And, as strange as this may sound to some of you, I'm really going to miss Micro-Economics with Dr. Ritenour. It's my favorite class so far at Grove City. 3/8 of the way done... Wow!

Well, be diligent and study hard, peeps! If you do that, you'll reap the rewards later on! Thanks for tuning in. Shout out to Jen Allison for ripping apart her oral exam today. Peace out.

Word?

A week from tonight I'll be leaving Grove City for a month. In some ways that's a sad thought, cause life here is great, but a month without schoolwork sounds good to me!

Sometimes I wonder why so many middle-class Americans try to sound "ghetto" when they talk. Why have rap and R&B become so popular? Do those whippersnappers really want to become lower-income urbanites? I do talk a little "inner-city-ish" myself occasionally - but the idea that our generation has chosen the "de-sophistication" route is alarming. Hopefully this phenomenon is NOT foretelling something about our future. It's bad enough that our kids are going to look back on our generation's music and see most of it for the trash that it is - polluted with every four letter word you can imagine. How much more moral decay will God tolerate from a nation that He has blessed so much?

But yeah, word my roommate and everyone else who enjoys talking "ghetto." Just guard your hearts. I hope y'all have a marvelous Thursday. One more day till the weekend! (Of course, if you go to Grove City the weekend before finals may not be your favorite. We'll live.)

Yo peeps!

The countdown till finals and break is ticking away, and all the GCC students are racing around, trying to finish the semester strong. Whether you're at GCC, another college, or somewhere else, I'm sure the pressure is on in your life. This is busy time of year, and it's so easy to let ourselves get in the worrying mode. But I challenge you to focus your attention on God and the true joy and hope that we have through Jesus. Christmas is one time of year that we traditionally associate with Jesus' birth. So why did Jesus come to earth as a baby? Why did the long-awaited Messiah life a humble life, amidst sinners, and suffer so much? I'll let you answer those questions yourself. Just make sure and take time to pray and think about Him, because "Jesus is the reason for the season." He's the reason for every season - so draw near to God this Christmas and the rest of your life.

I hope that you're all having a lovely week! It's going by fast for me, as most of them do. Happy 2-month "anniversary," Joel! :) (And the English majors attack Libby again for saying "month anniversary," since ani is the prefix for year.) Ja. Word???

p.s. I do not support Rastafarianism - the word "ja" just sounds cool. Sorry if it offends you.

9 days on the countdown till I leave for break... Happy Tuesday! ~Libby
