Adventure of the Week:
The most recent and exciting adventure was to the Santa Monica Pier. The night started with a Target run, as does every Saturday night these days. Purchased a new hamper that makes everyone else’s hampers jealous on laundry day! I also was able to assist Michelle in an electrical issue for her TV (thanks to my dad and teaching me everything I know about exterior illumination as well as other electrical nonsense) in the mix, of course, was also a Glee blasting session. Side note for another reason that I love my phone; I looked up the lyrics so I could join in on the “Total Eclipse of My Heart” belt sesh. Finally at 930 we thought we could make it to the pier by 10 since we were told it closes by then. Then we found out that it doesn’t close till midnight...SCORE. On our journey we thought we were making fantastic time, little did we know that it was also flow fest night in Santa Monica. The insanity stared when exiting the freeway to a billion cars. I am now a firm believer in GPS systems being smart enough to tell you if the roads are closed or if there is going to be a sea of stoner ravers on the beach (you would think there would be an app for that right?) Twenty minutes of pedestrian watching almost being killed by crazy Taxi drivers (THE YELLOW ONES DON'T STOP!--words of wisdom from the wise Buddy the Elf) as well as a fantastic CD of Flo Rida and Katy Perry (shout out to Michelle’s sister for great mix CD skills!) we finally parked. To sum up the rest of the evening, apparently Abigail is “too young” for one guy as well as is from Wisconsin and I speak French. We didn’t know that glow fest would include creepy groupies, now we know! The roller coaster was so old and slow that the cheesiness of it made it a blast. We even got a fantastic snap shot on the ride, but I refused to throw down 20 bones for a picture and 
they figured out the whole high resolution on good phones trick so you cannot do that either..sad day! To complete the evening, Michelle and I attempted to hook up her new TV so we could complete our Saturday night festivities with a 2 a.m. guitar hero jam fest. [Side note: Her T.V. is the biggest trooper after plummeting to its near death experience from the 6 foot high wardrobe to the concrete floor and only coming out a tad dented and cracked plastic corner]. We then found out the hard way after changing all 125 channels (I was extremely determined) that we were not going to be heroes that night because we needed a remote to change the AUX nonsense. Reason number 965 of why I love college/dorm life/BIOLA I did not get to my dorm room until about 3 am (sorry mom, I really dig this freedom thing!)
Class Favorite of the Week:
I first have to say that I LOVE my classes, especially my bible classes even though i have to read a TON. But this blog i am going to focus on my current favorite. Biblical Interpretation and Spiritual formality is amazing. Not only are there zero tests in that class, but the lectures are entertaining and filled with real life lessons. My favorite part of that class has been writing these SIM papers, they are sometimes time consuming but i am actually being taught how to read the Bible and apply it to my life. That sounds silly, but when you have to fill 3 pages on one 5 verse bible passage makes you actually get the meaning behind it. I also had to write a 5 page personal testimony. That was what really did it for me. I loved it. At first I was skeptical because I did not think my story could fill 5 pages, but i made it 6- THAT'S RIGHT BABY! It was so awesome to just reflect on my journey to be where I am today with God and i loved it. I was reminded of how blessed i am with who has been part of my life and who has helped lead me to Christ. This class is making me think-and I love that. Also my professor actually knows my name and about me, he spends time reading everyone's papers as well as prayers individually for us all through out the year. That's common with profs here, but that's just another reason that BIOLA is amazing.
Tid Bits of Knowledge for the week:
- Criminal minds doesn't post their episodes online which makes me sad
- I miss grilled chicken rice and veggie dinners and the Rice Casa (I never thought I would admit that)
- Boys living together creates a very loud video game competition at random hours of the night, as well as an odd comfortableness with each other.
- CRV tax and i are NOT friends!
- 12 am at the library on a Tuesday is where the real party is at! =)
- I LOVE getting mail (hint hint)
- I miss my AZ friends
- I LOVE my classes
- I am not the only one who names their car a boys name! (to all of those who said it had to be a girls name..Evan and I both would like to say :IN YO FACE!)
- the definition of what it means to get "slizzard" (it doesn't have anything to do with lizards, sad i know)

"AH WHITNEY HOUSTON!" explanation with the original dialogue: Michelle: Oh maybe we will see the hot guy that I always see when I am in the caf Me: Who is this guy, you will have to point him out Michelle: I cant just point at him that would be awkward and obvious Me: fine we will have a code word scream Whitney Houston and I will come running Michelle WHITNEY HOUSTON! Me: that's not how this works! now we walk around screaming whitney houston, people think we are crazy
