Finally this semester has come to an end and where the GG is Melissa she was suppose to meet me at the KL as soon as she finished. I had a nice time of finishing the 97 question exam in less than 45 minutes. I woke up early to study as well but gosh it was like soooo boring that I just layed on the couch. Now I can relax over my break right? Wrong, their is still soooo much of God's ministries to be done and I can't believe to even imagine that He is using me in all these ways. What the chicken, now Melissa finally gets here. Wow it took her 2 hours to finish that exam compared to my world record time. Anyways going back to what I was saying, I mean it's like the sports ministries are pretty much up to me to be the one who keeps things going while the outreach committee is gone on vaction/work. Then their's trying to lead the 5-1-4, along with serving at the Chrismas Eve Service. These are just to name a few things but man may I be remind of 2 Cor. 4:5? I think it was about relying on God's power and not of my own. It's too bad that I didn't get the vacation that everyone else is getting, but hey I get to serve, learn, and grow in Him even more.
Last night I finally figured out which team I was playing for, the team name was Altair. The first thing I walked and noticed at Boulan was wow I'm the shortest and youngest player in this league now, the net is at men's height, and is that Rob D standing over there? This league is pretty fun, I like the fact that we play 5 games up to 25 points rally scoring. So how did I do, well my first thought about this team was, wow these guys stink but how in the world are they in first. So the first game I played like crap because it's been a while since I had to hit on a men's net, I kept hitting it into the net. As the game progressed, I played at my usual level but I didn't have to play any higher than just being normal as in my opinion I didn't need to go S.S. It was funny because one of my teammates Charlie kept getting pissed at me for running a couple of quicks. Why was he mad, because he said the team is not use to my flashiness on offense and let's stick to the game plan of running a simple 4-2. Later, the captain Phil came up to me and apologized to me for them not being world class players. Later Charlie got even madder at me when I called a timeout because we were up by 12 and our lead was cut to 3. He was mad and told the team not to get into the huddle with me, but hahah even his own teammates didn't want to listen to him and they listened to what I had to say in the huddle while Charlie just isolated himself on the court. Then Charlie got mad again at me when I didn't take the 2nd ball, and I was like uhh hey stupid am I the setter? However I decided to yell at the setter for not calling help and that it's not my fault that he is slow and unable to get the pass, plus it wasn't even me who shanked that pass. Phil and Kevin had to pull me back as I just chewed out Charlie. Gosh I wish I was playing against him, so I can go S.S. and make him eat my Air Force Ones. Anyways so after the 5 games, Rob asked me in a sarcastic way of how were my setters? Kevin thought when I did set, that I was the best setter on the team, wow imagine that? But it's too bad that I was the best hitter on the team as well. The team we were playing against, had this one guy I'd called greenie because he had all green on was getting pissed at his own teammates for their mistakes like he was Mr. Perfect or something. So you had to love this, when he tried to kill it over me and I just stuffed him and the ball came straight down on his side. My reaction, stare down baby as he should shut his mouth too and that he isn't the best player on his team, plus I thought it was mean especially when he was kept yelling at their oldest player on the team, that was uncalled for, hence my stare down block was for them.
Well that's it for today, if you're reading this please take a minute to pray that the Holy Spirit will work within me tonight during v-ball sharing. I need to jet because I got this thing called a hair cut, so I look slick this Saturday for the v-ball tournament, and then lunch with Lindsay! Yay I haven't hung out with her in sooooo long it seems like.

Ya know considering I still have 1 exam left tomorrow morning, I've been treating this past weekend like I was out of school already. This weekend was draining as I woke up butt early to go see Ting play at her high school tournament for v-ball. Last night, I had fellowship over at Fred and Kim's because Margaret was sharing about how God's been working in her life lately or over the year. I remember last summer I attended Maragaret's sharing as well, but I didn't get to stay as long. I think it was because I had to go to the D-Ship/College Dinner last summer after it. But this time I'm just sooo thankful that I stayed and really got to know her more. Her words of wisdom was just an encouragement to me to continue to serve in the 5-1-4. It's just too bad that she's always bouncing around but hey that's how God is using her so I can't complain. Hopefully I get to spend more time to talk to Margaret before she leaves, but she's just so funny telling us stories about her and Freddy :)
Finally there's tonight, where I'll be playing in this new v-ball league I guess you can call it that. Honestly I'm quite nervous because I have no idea who I am playing with, never met them in my life before. Gosh what if my level isn't as high as these guys? I'm starting to get that feeling of yup the lone CBC person type of thing, oh God be with me tonight. And afterwards I gotta make yet another trip to CBC for music practice for tomorrow night. I just can't explain the feelings I got when Fred was talking to me about how this sharing is the first time ever in the sanctuary and that this could be the springboard for something bigger for God's glory. If only Charles was here to see how much sharing has changed since his days when he first started it.

Woooooo I have surpassed the 1 day of hell tonight with back to back exams, took care of the term paper, and going strong on my all nighter. What really got me going last night was just a great time of sharing from the 5-1-4 crew. I came home and pretty much just hit the books all night long. My diet last night consisted of that ice coffee with 2 hots expresso and over 20 packets of sugar, a large ice cappucino, and a couple cans of coke. I think that messed up my eating habit because my stomach kept growling, so I tried eating pizza but as I put it in my mouth I just wanted to spit it out. So yup I'm pretty much going on no food today either except for a couple of Flipz I had earlier. I finished my review sheets earlier than expected so I treated myself to a nap at around 10 and woke back up and hour later. It wasn't too much of a nap as I had trouble trying to sleep. I got up and it felt like I had a caffine hangover or a buzz, whatever that feels like, but I'm sure that's what I got. All that sugar just rushed to my head so I just kept drinking water all day to clean out my system now.
So I showered and went to go to the KL to study with Jenny for PS 241. Dude we studied for a little bit but like with an hour to spare we started talking about random things. Well actually she thought the caffine I had in my system started taking over as this what I randomly did as everyone was trying to study in our PS classroom.
1) I started singing Britney Spear songs, any song, name it and I sang it
2) Oh then I started rapping to Nelly, and moved down to J. Lo
3) Then I started giving a lecture about how big J. Lo's booty is
4) Then I started to tell the class how A Walk To The Remember was the best movie I've seen and that I cried as well
5) I started busting out some Mandy Moore songs
6) Then I moved on to Charles In Charge and Saved By The Bell and how I've been watching that recently, and 5 minutes later I started singing the theme song to that
7) Then I started doing my Chuey (sp?) imitation in front of the class
8) Then I told peeps how played out the Power Rangers are now these days
9) Then I got into a debate with Jenny in front of the class about how Pokemon can take out Harry Potter anyday
10) Finally I started hitting up Harry Potter hard by bringing in Goku, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and X-Men
Yup I got all that in, in a one hour time span, well with the class either laughing at/with me and the rest of the class must of been annoyed by my obnoxiousness. Man that was a sugar rush or what?
After my PS exam, I quickly went to the KL again, this time to study for HST 115 with Paula, Beth, and Monica. Man I was about to pass out in the KL but dang it I gotta know this crap as I was disappointed in my grade on my paper I just recieved from Zellers. I got a 2.7, dude I worked on that thing like no other with the help of Beth. I spent like only 2 hours doing my PS paper and I got a 3.4, there's gotta be something wrong here. Oh well what can I do now but study for my last crackhead exam in ENV 306. I can sense freedom will be upon me soon enough. It's amazing how I ain't even tired yet either, I might as well bounce around campus because I'm in the OU paper for winning the IM V-ball championships.

I said, yeah we need troopers
Cause I need troopers
So I can get da stomping
In my
Air Force Ones
Man I'm so pumped to play in this v-ball league this Monday night. I have an exam the day after, my last one then it's freedom! Well last night I was disappointed that the challenge from that one guy was merely a challenge. Sometimes when they're talking, I wonder if they're trashing talking to me in mandarin? Oh well that's why I felt the urge to show them my Air Force Ones after one kill. What really sucked was on one play, I followed through my hit so hard that swung and hit myself in the chicken. Man that killed, but worst of all that was embarassing oh well Phil did it to himself too. Man I can't wait to make my return back to Boulan.
Ya know one thing that's been really encouraging me lately is seeing the females of CBC just really striving for spiritual growth. I remember I had this conversation with Lindsay a couple of years ago about the females at CBC. I just feel bad that they're aren't any ladies that have the burden or maybe the time to disciple someone like Lindsay. But now it's frustrating to see that they're are girls like Chrissy, Connie, and Cecilia who are growing or have that desire to serve The Lord, but no women around to lead these group of women to another level of accountability and discipleship. I mean you look at discipleship with the women and how easily it could work on it's way down. If you start with the adult women, and then they move down to the 5-1-4 ladies, then they pass it on to the eLLe generation of girls, and they pass it down to like Grace and Stephie's gang of girls so forth. This is one of those times I wish I was a female to take on this ministry. May The Lord send someone who will help the ladies of CBC continue to grow in Him. I guess it's time for me to stop procrastinating and get my butt down to Barnes or was it Borders to hit the books? Oh well I'm gonna go be a nerd.

Because I believe there's a magic way
Slipping into your mind
Brightening up your day
Everything's gonna be ok
Well I just got through my first stage of hell, as I stayed up till 4 this morning working on my term paper for PoliSci. It wasn't due till Thursday but I got it done this morning and I just sent it up to my prof to let him read it and tell me what grade is it worth. Dude, I did such a crap job on this paper and by God's grace I got a 3.4 on this paper so I took it. Now I still have 2 stages of hell to go through this Thursday and their is no way I can speed that up since it is back to back exams. So I'm gonna try to go on the 2 hours of nap time I had this morning for the next 48 hours and push myself to the limit. And to feel better, I think I'm gonna go to the Rec. Center in like 10 minutes to work out as well.
Last night we had our victory team dinner at BW3's and it was my first time there. Man now I see why Vickie loves that place, I played this virtual football game where it lined up with the Dolphins and Bears. How you play is that you gotta guess the play depending on whoever is on offense, the more detailed you get the more points you get but the more points you lose as well. I was soooo into it that I didn't talk to anyone on the team, Maegan and Cindy kept trying to get my attention but I was too focused on football. Stan couldn't believe how into sports I was and didn't bother talking to any of the girls there. Then there was a Chicken Wing eating contest, where anyone could join and the first one to down 20 wings as fast as they can win $100 worth of food there. I was actually gonna compete but it was for the championship from the previous weeks. So I was studying it, and this is what I would do, since I am pretty much the slowest eater on Earth, I would just eat one wing and then I would take the rest home. Why? Because the 20 wings are free, hahahaha so I would get to eat for free there and enjoy my food, hahahaha. I don't care about stuffing my face, I get free food where I can enjoy it, hahahaha. There was almost a 2 way tie for first place between these big boys, and man their faces were sooo red because they were about to puke it all out. Again I say, take my 20 wings for free and eat at my own pace, hahahaha.
So what's the topic on my mind since this past weekend. Well it is dry skin, dude I never had a problem with dry skin in my whole life till last year where my hands flet like the Rocky Mountains. This year it got even worst on Saturday, because it was soooo dry, that every time I spread out my hand, my hand would just start squirting out blood. That's how dry it was, gosh this is getting annoying to me. And this past Sunday, someone came up to me and said that he is bringing some sort of team to go up against me tonight at v-ball? I wasn't quite sure as his english isn't the greatest but I look forward to seeing this challenge. And now I'm playing in yet another v-ball league that goes yeear around I think, and I start this Monday night.
Another blessing that has been brought to my attention is my new bond with David D. at CBC. He's just an amazing godly man, and he is just so on fire right now to serve God. I love his kids, they are so well-mannered and for some they know why they accepted Christ into their lives while the others are still learning. We even talked after Sunday School and it was all in french, man I haven't spoken in frech mode in a couple of years now. Gosh I was sooo rusty, it took me like forever to respond, but I'm thankful for our fellowship that God has provided.
