Crap, my streak came to an end, oh well, you can't win 'em all.
Life seems so alive again! Ha ha. I am so glad that reading week is here. I have been waiting for some time off to do other things since forever. The week off started out pretty good so far. I am pretty glad I offered up our house for a little college "fellowship" time, it was definitely fun; we should do it again.
Welp, I don't remember what I wanted to write, except that I probably won't be sleeping for a while since I had to finish a can of coke.
Oilers are in decent shape right now, other than missing our top 2 puck moving defensemen. Lubo going down was already hard to swallow, and now Grebs is out too?! Dang man, this is not fair. The refs seem to be doing everything in their power to make us lose, too. Blah, whatever, I still think we will be fine come playoff time.
I need more practice playing guitar. I feel so rusty because I don't get to practice very much. I need an amp. I need to find a new style for myself, my playing gets repetitive, then old, then boring.
Yay! I'm so hyper. So alive. 5alive. Yummy.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I think I am better off spending this energy doing something else.. Like sleeping.

In Wonder
Five game win streak, exactly what the Oilers need.
Since turning 18, everyday has been some sort of an adventure. Everything has been slightly off for the past five days or so. Off does not mean it's bad, just a little bit out of, I guess, routine.
Let me start off with yesterday's Oilers' game. Waison was nice enough to hook me up with the game against the Habs. You would think these tickets normally cost more since we're playing a team in the east. There were so many Canadien fans and they were so much louder than the Oilers' fans - or so it seemed. But the game was a blast and here is a random fact of the day: yesterday's Oilers' game was the first regular season game where I attended live and we won. It was a load of fun to go to this game.
I finished my english essay by halfassing it. I am a bit disappointed that I did not start this an extra day earlier so I could give myself an extra 5% cushion. However, I did manage to pull through in about 6 hours time on working on this.
One thing I do not want to do is to give up on the rest of this semester. I know that the UofA is not the place for me, but I don't want to just give up on everything and fail and waste my dad's money. It is a hard thing for me to do because it is so easy and tempting to just go "meh, I don't need this, so why come to class", but I know for my own sake, I should make something good out of this year.
One thing that I am not too fond of either is that it is getting cold again. I think we should just have consistantly cold weather for a couple months instead of having these little warm streaks. Global warming is really taking its toll on our planet and it's showing.
Tomorrow will be one of the slowest days for me, quite possibly. Not only is it the last day before reading week, but I have to do the dreadful music midterm that I have not been looking forward to. Another random thing is that my GTDSS is calling for me to wear her more, haha. I am still loyal to my SJD and want to finish it by August or September at the latest, but the GTDSS is just demanding time from me, lol.
I must remind myself to try to get another hockey game going, last time was far too fun and we need to do it again soon. Also, a reminder to do my driving stuff.
Reading week, here I come!

Final Verdict
Four for four, man I am on the hot streak the Oilers can never get on.
I am "taking a break" from writing my english essay. The topic for my essay is "How do authors use family relationships to illustrate difficulties with identity?" I thought the theme for this time's essay would be a breeze; then I thought, "oh, that is only true if I don't have to use literature." I am having severe difficulties in concentrating on this essay that is due friday; I am pretty awesome at distracting myself, don't you think?
I may be rushing things a bit too much, but I have been thinking about this for a while now. I have unofficially concluded that I will not be returning to the University of Alberta in September. Where will I be then? I don't know just yet. My plan is to prepare for bible college. How I will go about preparing, I do not know yet. As of right now, I only have a set direction with no means of transportation to get to that destination just yet. I will see what I come up with in my research of different bible colleges and which ones may suit my needs the best, then I will go from there. I will definitely need to be working since the costs are so gigantic; I also want to stay as close to home as possible. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I plan on starting to ask around starting reading week to see what it is like in different places.
Right now, based on the tiny information that I do have, I think the most likely option I have for September is to work for a term or two, depending on a few things; it could be until December, or it could be until next September. Now, remember that this is based on the little that I know. I am going to make an attempt to ask around for some advice to see what should happen. It is still February and early, but time goes by way too fast to say that it is "early" anymore.
Okay, I am really sorry but my entire thought just got interrupted by some pretty awesome news.
I'M GOING TO THE OILERS GAME TONIGHT!
PEACE OUT E-TOWN

Vindicated
Three posts in three days, I'm on a roll here.
What happens when you've been vindicated? You would think that there would be quite the satisfaction and relief since being vindicated means that a situation has been cleared up from, maybe, suspicion or being unsure of something. Less than 24 hours ago, I received confirmation on something that has been bothering me for pretty much this past half year or so.
I think one of the hardest things to do in life is to be able to know what God's calls are. Knowing is just one thing, finding out the reason why is at a whole different level. For someone like me, young and inexperienced, I hesitate most of the time when I feel that I am being called to something. Most of the time when I am presented with a situation, I am unsure of whether it is just me that I'm totally whacked up or that it really is God telling me something. I was very unhappy with myself for a while for being so weak and faithless because I knew that God calls people to things, and the calls may be unexpected or something, but I had a worry in me that said, "what if this is really God's call, and I am just being completely oblivious to it?" My thoughts either ended along the lines of that, or that I just tell myself that I am being stupid and, in a sense, selfish for thinking such things.
But, I think I've come to realize that every detailed thought is put into your head for a reason. So the easiest way to begin hearing what God has to say would be from within yourself. Then the assurance comes from confirmations from the outside world. I have been contemplating for such a long time that it has began to drive me mad, especially since I am going nowhere with school.
However, as of yesterday, I now know where I need to go, and being vindicated(I love using this word), I can hold my own and go my own way. The next step is to plan it out and see where I can go from there.
Thank you.
