Well I couldn't get any homework done yesterday and probably won't get much done today :( . And I have to repeat next week for homecoming, except there are more activities. I usually do my reading class on the weekends and leave the other mornings for the other 4 classes. People can be really frustrating because they don't understand how much work it is to keep up with 15 credit hours, a family and senior year. They tell you, you need to learn to say no and then complain when you do. But like Cari said sunday, it's between me and the Lord. He has called me to go to school and I will do it for the glory of the Lord. If someone wants to complain maybe they should take it up with Him.
That said, I'm so glad to have the youth out, it is nice to take a break every once in a while even if it is a tad bit stressful to do so. It's also nice to have a little while to visit with people instead of a book. I know the next few weeks are going to ramp up. I have to do another observation, hopefully next week. I have several tests coming up, mainly the one in ecology. The amount of info to learn is immense, probably the most I have ever done and we aren't through yet. I can't remember if I have said, but close to 140 slides, full paragraphs on most of those, another 15-20 videos, two text books (four chapters in one and 7 in another) and he has 3 articles now posted (the one I looked at was 80 pages), I'm just waiting to see if they are all required. Oh and we have this HUGE project in forensics. We're doing Environmental Impact statements and we have to summarize them in a group of 4 of us. The documents are like 600 pages long. No wonder I've been having eye strain.
We have a conference in Little Rock on the 6th, I have to leave at 4 am, hopefully returning at 5 pm, then fall fest at the school at 6 (I'll be squeaking in to run a game from 6-6:30) then we have to run to Horatio for the last ball game. That will be a long day. Speaking of football, the boys played hard last night. We were soooo close to winning. Several times we were at the end zone and just couldn't get it the next 5 yards. It was an exciting game though. We were 7-6 (us) and till the last quarter I think. They might have gotten to 12 in the 3rd quarter I can't remember for sure. I'm trying to get the video of the ceremonies posted, but it's not currently cooperating....

TGIF
Well change of plans today, no hair cut, go to town this morning, pick up stuff for tonight (balloons, remaining food) and tomorrow night, plus bday card for DH and mom, batteries for camera, etc... then come home and clean house, then study. It would prob be better to study this morning before mom gets here, but I need to get the other stuff done and off my back! No major tests next week, so that is good. I hope to get my last observation re-scheduled. Then we have a puppet play to do on Nov. 13th and that will be all of my extra curricular activities for this semester I think. Oh and the trip to Little Rock, that will be fun though! I may go to the pep rally today, I am not 100% sure. I hate to leave mom sitting here alone. Next week is homecoming and then the last game. It will be weird not having him playing football.

Succession
It's pretty neat how the creation speaks of the Creator. Even in studying succession of forest communities, you can see parallels. Death must occur before new birth and creation. Old things must die before the new life can spring forth. A fire is cleansing and can reveal things unrealized for years. Without fire, some changes can never occur. New life comes in stages where the old is shed before the new, bigger and better things come. If you don't have wildfire, there are many beautiful wildflowers and strong trees that you will never see.
Just thursday....
The people are supposed to be here to fix the heat today, they were supposed to come yesterday but called and said they weren't. Today really is better I have to leave a little bit later. Not sure how the weather will effect their coming however...
It's been a light week, I've been trying to start studying for the upcoming ecology test because there is a huge amount of information. So far 150 or so slides and I can't even count the vocabulary to learn. Today will be working on ecology, I have lots of reading to do for it also and some videos to watch. And he has three long documents posted, he said all weren't req'd reading, but I know some of it will be. It can be overwhelming the amount of info he makes us cover. I would love to take the histology class or even herpetology, but he is teaching it and I already have to take him for another class my other choice is environmental chemistry, but I am hoping there will be another class to choose from. Since my SPED teacher was sick, there is not much work to do for that class this week and we had that reading test, so I just need to start the new chapter.
Tomorrow I will clean house, get my hair cut and go to Senior night and the football game. Mom will be here around lunch. Saturday study in the morning and party in the evening, hehe. At least the weather will be nice even if it is muddy. I hope there is a decent turnout because I have two cakes coming.
That Align the Gastro. Dr. put me on has made a huge difference. It really helps alot. My feet are still acting up. I walked night before last and then did Shred yesterday and they are hurting. I need to find an elliptical trainer or something....I have to be really careful with the Shred because I injured my shoulder doing it and it doesn't take much to get it to flare back up.

This week
Not too much to talk about today. I've got to write a paper on flu & tecnology, clean house, get fingerprinted, jog and work on ecology. There is a TON of information to learn so I need to get on with it. I took my reading test yesterday, but I regret not going over my flashcards beforehand. OPPS. i guessed way too much. UGH Not too much going on this week. No other test because my SPED teacher was sick and we had an online module. no IS395 this week. Good thing because I need to work on ecology and housework so hopefully I will be able to take most of Saturday off.
Our heat is not working. PTL we got a 'home warranty'. I called sunday, but haven't gotten a response, so I need to add that to the list to do today, call them back... Our fireplace needs something, but we aren't quite sure what, lol. They told us the insert was cracked, but it appears that there is no insert and we think maybe that is it, we just need to buy an insert?? There was a lady at the Dr.'s office with the flu. I'm praying that we didn't pick it up there.

The Propitiation
I John 2:2 He is the propitiation for our sins, not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
propitiation: an appeasing, propitiating - sin-offering
So I had this dream last night. Well first, Sunday morning, I was reading some footnotes & scriptures when Audie was preaching, and came across propitiation. I know what propitiation means, but the Lord said, "I'm going to show you what propitiation is". It's one of those ok, if you say so moments, lol. Well I had a dream last night. I was in this 'event' in a stadium like place. It was supposed to ge a game, but as it went further and further with me narrowly escaping each time. I was being hunted. A man was with me. I had to go through all these obstacles and it was getting harder and harder to escape. When it was clear we could no longer escape, he turned to me and said to go on, that they would not be satisfied without blood. He would stop them and I would escape. He made an atonement for my sin, took my punishment....That's propitiation.

Back online
My dear husband picked up my modem for me yesterday and I got it installed this morning. It may be slow but it is better than the cell phone or nothing, let me tell ya!
Rachel cooked dinner for me last night for my birthday, it was really sweet. No one has done anything like that for me in a long time. Noel used to cook me Brie en Croute (a pastry with Brie cheese, mushrooms and other stuff), I had forgotten that, it was yummy! Other than that, no one else has gone to the trouble, it meant alot. Funny, I think only two people remembered my birthday last year and I couldn't count this year(hmm would Fb have anything to do with that?). Anyhow, their house is a ruckus. It was wedgie city and I wish I would have had a camera, hilarious those kids. I was hoping to at least have lunch with Tori before she left, but they were to far away. She needs to post some kind of itenerary next time she comes so we have a clue when we can see her.
Things are still fairly quiet, but I know it will all hit soon enough. No tests this week, two next week and I am not sure when the next ecology test will be, but there is certainly a ton of info. to cover so I am starting now. Today I've got a science club meeting at 12. I'll have to leave early to get to the next campus. It takes 15-20 minutes to get to the new campus from the old one because of all the construction and traffic. I use cowhorn creek which keeps it from being 30 minutes, but it still takes a bit. Then I may go look for a birthday gift for my mom and work in the computer lab for just a short bit. If I try to go for the entire 3 hours, it makes the day way too long and makes my back hurt. We are supposed to be outside today for a lab, but we shall see. Trying to decide about a laptop and if it will help any. I think I will stop at walmart and use some bday money to buy some rubber boots- it looks like I will be needing them.
I also found out I have to take genetics with my *favorite* instructor. The main issue now is whether or not I am getting the information I need to pass my test after I graduate. Guess I will have to study hard on my own. I may have to take him for my science elective also, but I am going to try not to...
