One Note for an Intire Song
So hello. I've finally signed up for some classes in the fall. But only two. I was trying to sign up for at least 4 but I registered online and I dunno. It just couldn't find the other classes I wanted. Oh well. I don't have that much money on me anyways.
Still a bit sick. It makes me wonder if I should be looking for a job when I'm dealing with whatever is wrong with my body. Meh.
So anyways I found a challenge on a deviantartist's journal who in turn found this list...somewhere, I dunno the specifics. I'm going to attempt to do this.

So hey, haven't been here in a while. My bad. Not much has changed since last time I wrote here though so it's not like you're missing out on much.
I have been reading a very nifty book as of late. "Making Sense Out of Suffering", by Peter Kreeft. It is a very interesting take on suffering and its relation to God and people. I'd totally recommend it.
Current mood:
lazy.
Well, I haven't really been doing a good job keeping with my resolutions, but I'll continue to work on that.
I volunteered to try my hand at handling the sounds system and other tech stuff with my church. I figured I might as well do something with my time and try to help around the church. Although I'd have to be taught some things probably because I'm not the most tech savvy around.
I've also decided that maybe I want to switch my Major. I"m thinking about taking Kinesiology (think gym teacher, gym owner, workout instructor etc.) I'm not quite sure what I want to be but I've been praying and believe that this is the direction my life is meant to go.
Current mood:
sleepy.Current music: When the Doves Cry - Prince.
Howdy. Happy New Years! The title of my journal is really befitting so much. I got nothing accomplished in 2010. I didn't get a job (well, I did, but got myself fired from that job), didn't go to school, didn't draw, didn't do anything really. Really all I did was get crazy sick all year round. I lost a friend but gained a couple more at church. I have to admit I also don't feel as close to my friend as of late, like I really don't feel comfortable sharing some things with her because I feel she'd get upset about it. I don't know, in a way I guess what I'm trying to say is that she's different in a way.
New Year Resolution:
Dig into my bible a bit more.
Read up about opinions and arguments against the bible and Christianity as a whole. I can't defend my case if I don't know what drives people away. This also includes looking into Darwinism and the theory of evolution.
Read more books in general.
Draw more, even if it's just realism drawings.
Continue the search for a job, but put more effort then last year into it.
Whether or not I get a job, sign up for summer or fall classes, I can't hold off on this forever just because I want to pay for it myself.
Be more open and state my actual opinions instead of people forcing their opinions on me. I feel like I had that done quite a bit in 2010.
Go to bed earlier.
Mail that stupid book to my friend like I said I was gonna do forever ago.
Exercise more.
And with that, I'm off.
Current mood:
contemplative.
So hello once again, believe it or not I haven't totally forgotten this journal exists. So lets have a run down of what's going on.
I took 2 summer classes and believe I did...well I think I got a C in both of them so yeah. Then I decided that I didn't want to take anymore college classes until I had a job because I want to be able to pay for it on my own instead of relying on my mother's money. We're kinda middle class/lower middle class and, I dunno I guess it just kinda struck me how much money college is and that it's all coming out of my mother's pocket. I got hired to a fast food joint last week and started Monday...which I was so nervous about that I wound up throwing up, leaving early, and getting fired or laid off or however you want to put it on Tuesday morning. Yes, I am that amazing. I'm not too said about it. Just, I dunno, bothered I don't have a job now after searching for so long. I may decided, in the fall, to just start going to college again regardless if I have a job or not because this job hunting thing is not going well. It wasn't going well when I was looking for a job during college or before I started going to classes and I'm afraid I may have gotten too comfortable with laying about when waiting for job offices to call me back or whatever.
I'm not sure if I still would like to stick to the Liberal Arts (General Studies that for some reason they decided to change to Liberal Arts) course or not. I think I want to pursue something in either Sociology or Music but I'm just not sure and I don't like the thought of spending my mother's money on a venture that I'll give up on later. I'm also worried about if there's really ANYTHING I'd be willing to do my whole life.
I've also been thinking of sort of having this journal as a place where I gather my thoughts on my relationship with God and what I gather from church, Sunday school, readings on my own time and the like. I take notes in church and Sunday school and sometimes take notes when reading my bible or when I'm reading through books that try to prove or disprove my believes and books on religions but my notes are sporadic. I think that maybe gathering my notes and forming them on here might help me organize myself.
I'd also like more icons for my other moods but eh.
Goodnight. <3

contemplative.
Well ok that's not how the song goes.
I totally should not have let my mom talk me into signing up for an online class. I am crappy about motivating myself to do much. I was able to switch one of my online classes to just a regular class but I can't with this one and I'm afraid I won't be able to drop it because the last date to drop a class is this week and I'm afraid I've missed it and I'm already so far behind in my online class I might just have to resign myself to failing the class. I'm going to take it next semester, and make sure I get a regular class but I really wish I didn't have to fail the class first but this is what I get for being a door mat and allowing myself to be talked into taking an online class which I knew I'd have to put more effort into then just driving up to college but noooo...heaven forbid I say no more often. Geez and what if my parents find out? Probably be royally angry at me. Frick!
Current mood:
worried.
So hey, sometimes I pretend this thing doesn't exist or something I dunno. Anyways. I'm in college now, in three classes, which I may drop out of one class because I'm already really far behind on it. I'll hopefully just sign up for it next semester and do better then. I THINK I know what career I want...kinda...sorta...
Uh, what else. Finally up and driving about on my own. I was super nervous the first time I drove up to my college class cuz it's a half hour drive and I had barely driven anywhere at that point so I was pretty much praying to God to help me make it there ok. Now I'm pretty ok with driving.
CLEARLY I LIVE AN EXCITING LIFE :B
Catch ya later.
Current mood:
hungry.
So hey, I totally still need to register for classes. Geez it's almost Aug. and I've yet to sign up for classes. Procrastination at its finest apparently.
I've finally gotten to see my best friend's baby. Her little girl is utterly adorable :3
Noticed a commercial for "Aliens in the Attic". Most likely I'll never even rent this movie but I must say it doesn't look as lame as some of the movies Hollywood has been spewing out. I've also seen trailers of a movie called "District 9" which looks highly interesting. I may even get off my lazy butt to go see that movie. Maybe anyways.
Hmm...seems I don't have anything else to say.
Ta-ta
Current mood:
tired.
Woah, so yeah, totally keep forgetting I have this journal thing. Anyways I'm ok I suppose. I'll hopefully be starting college by mid August. I need to meet up with counselors though cuz I have questions about registering for classes and stuff. Do not have a car, cellphone, nor a job yet, but hopefully most of that will be remedied by the next two weeks or so.
The only thing really bugging me is that when I log onto Yahoo, it says I'm some chick named Brynn or something like that, which I'm not. But hopefully that too will be fixed in a couple of days.
Should probably get started on a certain drawing I keep saying I'll work on.
Also I've been watching a lot of Jackie Chan Adventures on Youtube. Does anyone remember that show? It was pretty freak'n sweet.
Oh yeah, Got all my computer problems fixed. Don Quixote (my scanner/printer) is finally fixed. I also have sound on my computer.
My friend also had her baby girl who is freank'n adorable if the pictures she sent me mean anything. Though I haven't seen her in real life as of yet, hopefully that will be fixed as well.
Well, that's about all I can think of as of right now. Ta-ta.
Current mood:
blank.
So, my computer has been having problems. I give it to my brother to fix them. He gives them back to me. And guess what? No sound on my computer even though everything is plugged in, not only that, my printer which is also plugged in my computer is not working. I cannot play songs on here as well apparently. dljfaosjufsjfidshaf!!!!
Current mood:
frustrated.
