So long and thanks for all the fish

Well, another school year draws to a close. This year sure did fly by and in many ways I am saddened by this. At the beginning of this year I thought " Wow this year can't be better than first year." Well I was wrong. This year was awesome. More people join our dormie group and while some people left the dorm they didn't leave our group of friends. I can only hold my breathe in anticipation as to what new surprises are in store for us next year. It should be equally if not more so awesome.

But, even though I can't wait to come back and finish my degree I am happy for the summer break. A time to relax, recharge and refill the dusty ol' bank account so that I can afford to come back. I am sure that we all welcome this break even though it is not easy to see friends go and possibly not return. But they are our friends and these are special bonds that will be with us forever.

I am excited for this summer and all the stories and tales that will be created through it and retold next year as we are all brought back together. I am excited for the next year. I guess in general I am excited (although it could be all the coffee).

I started packing this evening. And as is my custom over the year I have a rather large stack of papers and assignments that migrated onto the unused bed in my room. I had the arduous task of sorting through those papers and it was interesting to see the layers of the year. The top comprised itself of marked papers and tests and as i dug farther down I came to handouts and sylibi (that aint spelled right, but it's late i dont care) from the beginning of the year. It was funny looking at those due dates and papers and realizing that I had done all that in such a short time (I think I had at least a small tree in Hebrew tests alone).

I will hopefully try to keep this thing updated in a semi regular way but be warned DQ doesn't lend itself to riviting tales of legends.... well every day at least. I wish all those the best who I missed or will miss as I head out Saturday (This goes especially to Amanda who left without my knowledge while I was sleeping... dont worry no hard feelings lol). I pray that all goes well with everyone over the summer and that God is with you during the good and the bad. And hopefully we can make next year even bigger and awesomer then this year. Talk to ya all later (probably on MSN).

A more serious note

Ok no I haven't given up on blogging just havent had much to say. So as we all know now is that wonderful time of the year when papers start coming due and exams are only around the corner as well. I can hardly believe that another year is closing and pretty soon it will be summer again. And then only 1 more year till I am off to seminary. '

The last couple weeks have been a bit of a eye and soul opener. After talking to people at saturday at the sem I think I am finally starting to figure out what I am going to be doing for the remainder of my life. It seems weird to know pretty much what I will be doing in the coming years, this is the first time I have been truely excited about were I am going and what God is trying to use me for. This time last year I was very unsure of why I had come to Concordia and what I was striving for. But know only a year later I have come to learn what it is I am being called to do. Now dont get me wrong there are still some fuzzy areas (ex. where/who exactly I will be living with during seminary) but mostly at this point the path is clear. I am sure there will be times where this path may fade and I may not quite know where I am going but I have more confidance now that it will be all taken care of.

It seems kind of dumb to me that I am only just now learning these lessons that God will provide and God will show me what I am to do; especially since I have been reciting them over and over again at church but I guess I just wasn't taking enough to heart. It's kind of funny how God works and it is truely a mystery.

I guess mainly I want to let everyone know that if you are lost or confused at this point in your life don't worry. God will reveal to you what you need to know at the right times. Don't worry about where you are going or how you are getting there God knows. I've found that the best way to have these questions answered is to pray. The answers won't come right away, I prayed for a long time to know where I was going and I am only being answered just now and even then not all of everything I've prayed for has been answered.

I guess that now with all the stress of tests and papers I just wanted to remind people to not worry and that everything will turn out the way it should and to pray. And if something like a test doesnt go the way you want it to remember that your way is usually flawed and we need to follow Gods way that he has set out for us. Ya thats all I have right now (sorry no jokes). Talk to ya all later.

A Glorious New Week

Well I am back from the dead now that reading week is over. Overall ya it was boring but at least I had good company. I hope everyone who read my blog and Erics and Rods enjoyed our little dormie horror story. Only some of those events really happened. There is no new student named Gilbert and whoever has made a blog site by him needs to stop, it's creeping me out. Everyone should be back come tommorrow night or so and then things can get back to normal, well as normal as it gets around here anyway.

As most of you know I have been struggling with an addiction these last couple of years and I am glad to annouce that I am going cold turkey and stopping as of tonight. Thats right folks I offically cancelled my subscription to World of Warcraft. I will not log on and I am not going to look up information about the game. I feel that 2 years is enough time to dedicate to a fictional world and lately I haven't felt "into" the game as much so i decided to stop paying out the ass and just quit. I never thought I would utter those words but here I am. Hopefully the slow madness that will consume me will be fun. I also now have to try to come to grips with this large glowing object they call the sun which I am sure is trying to kill us or at least blind us.

Well, I welcome all those people who are coming back tommorrow as I will be sleeping in one last day and then probably shaking and sweating in the corner as I try to work the WoW out of my system. Talk to ya all later.

Reading Week Friday....

I fear this may be my last post. The creature or whateve it is is poised outside my room. I can here it breathing and gurgling. So far I have managed to keep it at bay. I have bolted the door shut and block it with all manner of furniture from my room. I pray it doesnt get through.

I've tried to sleep but it is as if it can sense me drifting off and it starts screaming and banging against the door making me shoot awake. Shit I think it can tell that I am typing... it has started to bang and rage against the door with renewed energy. I cannot tell how long till it gets through but I can only surmise it wont be long.

........

It's been a few minutes since that last paragraph and as i feared it is intent on getting through the door shudders with each blow and I can see the door starting to give. It is as if i am paralyzed all I can do is sit here and narrate. A large corner of the door has fallen and it slowly starts to seep in as if its a liquid. Oh Shit.... it can't be.... Gilbert?

This looks like it will indeed be my last post because he doesnt look happy.
I just want you all to know one thing I always hated you Vince...I always hated you the most

Reading Week Thursday,

Last night was a blur. I awoke with blood once again on my hands although i was indoors this time. My memories of last night are foggy and I cant quite remember what I was yelling about. I do remember banging rather loudly and forcfully on Erics door. Then it gave in and I heard him yell. Then I woke up here.

I tried to find Eric to see what had become of him but I think that it is too late. I think the same thing that happened to Gilbert happened to Eric. I hope that Rod doesnt venture out today it may be unwise. As for myself I seem to have grasped a little more of reality I dont seem to be think as irrationally as last night but that doesnt mean it wont happen again. I think for now I will endeavor to barricade myself in my room.

I cant let what ever has taken over me to infect the others. I only pray that I am the only one infected and that Rod hasnt been infected yet.

Wait? What was that noise? Shit there's something outside my door. I can see a shadow poking through the bottom. At least ... I hope its a shadow.

Reading Week Wednesday??

Ok something has happened. I dont know exactly what but apperently I have lost a day. I dont mean "Oh it slipped away and ive lost it" I mean " crap I am going crazy and lost a day" maybe thats not the best way to put it but i deffinatly dont remember any part of tuesday. Eric says he saw me but I am not sure. God I hate the way he looks at me all smug and sure of himself I would love to put an end to that.... wait what am I saying?

Arg this week has gone from boring to down right insane. Why cant anyone else see what is going on. Gilbert is gone. I dont know where but I think I may have had a hand in it. Wait what? How could I have.... Shit my head is pounding making it harder to concentrate on simple things. If only Eric would stop laughing at me. Oh he doesnt do it out loud.... it's his eyes they dance in his head when ever he looks at me I just wanna stop that damn laughter.....

I saw Rod today for a bit... I know what hes up to. It's him and Eric they are working together .... hes laughing at me too. Eric started this that I am sure of. Without Eric maybe things would settle down maybe Rod would stop laughing.... maybe.... maybe ill do something about it maybe i'll MAKE him stop laughing. Heh that could work.... that would be perfect.... then.... then if Rod doesnt stop... heh....

Reading Week Monday

So today started out pretty weird and by pretty weird I mean "OMG the Aliens have landed kind of weird." Ok so this morning I awoke not in my usual place. I awoke to a bright light and the smell of dirt and what ever the hell else grows outside in the winter.

Man my head has really started to pound it feels like something is trying to claw its way out. The waking up outside thing was low on the creepy meter. I also awoke next to several dead animals. I can't reconize what they were but from the looks of what is left they couldnt have been too large. Whats that taste in my mouth? blech!

Apparently the highschool students dont have class to day again which i forgot about. I seem to be doing that alot recently also its weird but I feel like I am losing time. I will be sitting here doing something (playin WoW) and it seems like the hours are just slipping by but i dont remember anything about them. Eric stopped by earlier and we started to talk. All of a sudden hes stareing at me like I have a third eye (did I lose more time?) he didnt stay much longer after that which is good everytime i think about him i get angry then my head starts hurting.

Havent seen Rod.

Gilbert has been poking around the hallway giving me weird looks. Is he getting sickly looking? I dont know but i feel an intense hatred towards him now. Bah i better stay away from him who knows what could happen. Ugh these headachs are killing me I am heading to bed.

Eric and Rod have posted more lies at http://www.muffinsrsweet.blogspot.com/ and www.furiousrodimus.blogspot.com

Reading Week Day 2

Went to church today. Didnt really feel like going I awoke with a pounding headach and felt kind of sick. I went anyway. It was quiet on the ride there no one spoke more then they had too. Rod seemed distant while Eric seemed a little edgy. Sometimes that bugs me about him, ah well not much i can do about it. Other then that church was fine.

We got a new high school student in dorms last night, which was weird because no one has ever moved in during the middle of the night. Meh must just be my imagination. His name is Gilbert and he seems like a real nice guy. He doesnt talk much just kind of stares at ya. Speaking of stareing I walked into Gilberts room and found Eric stareing into his eyes (Creepy). I tried to talk to Eric I was like "You know man, if theres anything going on in your life thats troubling you or maybe your confused about something you can always talk to me about it" As soon as i said it i regretted it. Something in my mind ticked forward like a clock slowly counting down time.

Anyway I hung out with Gilbert most of the rest of the day. I guess some how I feel real close to him it's kind of creepy. Also theres this nagging feeling in the back of my mind every time I see him and ...and....arg I just cant put my finger on what its trying to tell me.

Havent seen Rod around lately after church hmm he must be sulking or something. He sure is being reclusive. Meh must just be because Tammy's gone.

Well thats about it for me tonight I am getting another headach and it feels like its gunna be a big one think i'll take some Advil and head to bed. I hope tommorrow is more interesting.

Reading week, So. Boring.

Mmmm smell that air. It smells like reading week. Thats right folks reading week has sprung upon us like the US on a country with oil. I figured "who knows? Staying in dorms this reading week could be fun." Little did i realize the horror that was going to be brought upon us.

It was quiet this morning save for Daniel running down the hall yelling for Darren or Eric or something i don't really pay attention to him. I was doing my afternoon Jazzersizing when Eric comfronted me and started yelling at me about the music being to loud ... or something. Now I dont think Eric will admitted it to anyone or himself but I think he's a little taken with the male side of the human race. But anyway he started yelling something about Poptarts and I was like "Whoa there dude Strawberry is way better then fuckin blueberry." It contintued like that for about a half an hour till he left in a huff. Obviously I had won the fight.

A few of us went out for a free dinner on Darren cause he likes us so much, oh and Eric came with us cause Darren felt sorry for him and we needsome one to hold our coats. I don't really know whats changed in dorm lately but it has created a thick sense of tension. Hopefully we can continue to post through this tough time.

By the way Eric and Rod have also posted and their posts are full of errors go ahead and read them for yourself at http://www.muffinsrsweet.blogspot.com/

and http://furiousrodimus.blogspot.com/

But untill tommorrow I am out.
