Now that I have music on my blog, I want to update more.

There is black mold growing in our showerhead.

I love the fact that my roommate and I can make spontaneous trips to Birmingham on a Wednesday night for shopping and eating at the Cheesecake Factory.

First Baptist Retreat is this weekend. I'm sad that I'm missing the party at our house, but I'm really looking forward to getting away to solitude in the country and having some much-needed R&R with my Savior.

That's about it. I have a very important date with my roommates that involves Cheesecake Factory leftovers, hot chocolate, and a certain tv show that I am too embarrassed to speak of. I'm too scared to say it because of the judgment that would surely be poured out because of it's poor intellectual quality.....but you know what....it's VAMPIRE DIARIES. I said it. Make fun of me if you want. I'm happy with my life. :]

I'm dumb.

So I just spent like 30 minutes making a playlist for my blog. I was so excited, and then I went to post it and could NOT figure it out. Unless I'm just being dumb, I'm pretty positive that what blogger is telling me to do is NOT POSSIBLE. Now I'm too tired of staring at a screen to write anything.

But I can't resist. I guess I will write a little bit.

I just want to say that I am so blessed. During my college search, I was so prideful as to blindly believe that I could live even nine hundred miles from my family, and I would be fine. News flash to myself: I am finding that it is hard to live even an hour and a half away from them. I guess God knew me better than I knew myself. I even have Betsy four minutes away, a fact that I have been grateful for many times this semester. I think God has been telling me that I DO need people...I find that sometimes I can't bear my dorm room anymore, that if I spend even twenty minutes alone, I'll suffocate. Never thought I would say that!

I was afraid that I would not make friends. God is showing me that my fears of social awkwardness are all in my head. I am fortunate enough to already have a couple of close friends and older Christian mentors. Again, God knows what I need better than I do. He has positively surrounded me with the Body of Christ, something that I've been longing for but didn't quite know how to achieve.

Conclusion: my Father loves me. And I have done absolutely nothing to deserve it.

A few more thoughts/observations:
At 4:00 pm the Denny chimes play a symphony, I'm talking they chime songs for about twenty minutes. New goal: be on the Quad every day at 4:00.
I used to scoff at the concept of Freshman Fifteen: I scoff no more. It is terrifyingly possible.
Crimson Tide football is an addiction. It's true.
Walking back from Byrd, my friend and I witnessed a potential arrest. Two guys cut across our path, looking behind them and walking really fast. Then, two cop cars with lights blaring pull up next to their two friends who are about twenty feet away from us. The cops jump out and corner them. We walk away quickly. Just another Tuscaloosa night.
I made a 63 on my Biology Lab midterm. Eh.
I want to get married at First Baptist Church Tuscaloosa.

Hands down the best football moment that I've ever experienced.
