*title goes here*

Today was an interesting day. I woke up earlier than I normally would (around 0800) so I could ideally go to a state park with a buddy of mine named Nathan. All was fine and dandy until we actually started trying to do things that were on our list. First, I was to meet him in one of our admin buildings so he could register for squatter's rights on a suite next year for me, him and one of his buddies (I've yet to find a roomate). Turns out, he can't do this until the 16th of February... It's a first come, first served madhouse idea and he has a class until 0830... That's 30 min after registration starts... Frustrating. Secondly, the idea was to go to the park. That would have worked but the battery in Nathan's car was dead. So we pulled out his handy-dandy trickle charger and set it up on the car for an hour or so trying at various times to start the car. None of them worked so we began to spam all our car owning friends with messages and calls to try and get someone to jump his car. This whole time it's rather brisk outside. Finally Nathan get a hold of one of his friends and she agrees to come jump the car. But it's parked in a spot with no access points. So what is there to do but back it out? Right? Right. As previously mentioned, the car will not start so we have to push. Not a big deal right? We're both rugby players, it's in our job description. Did I mention Nathan has a post-op surgical boot on one of his feet so he can't push? No? ok. Well it's true. So I have to push his Subaru out of the parking spot and a bit through the parking lot. Only, to prevent blocking traffic we (I) had to move it forwards so we (he) could straighten it out. This required pushing his car up a hill... 30 feet later he says stop and sets the brake. Five minutes later his friend shows up and we get a jump. We go to park and all is well, then we go through the Wendy's drive-through on the way back and also stop at Hasting's Movie store. Cool place, lots of movies. Upon re-entering the car, I attempt to start it, nothing. Nathan and I looked at each other with a mild sense of disbelief and a strong urge to murder a small mammal. I tried the key again and it worked. I looked back at Nathan and said simply: "I think God wants me to go to class today". So I did, it was boring, and now I must study. But I thought you all might like to hear that little tale. And remember kids: God wants YOU to go to class.
Also, I'm blogging in the time I would normally be in my fitness class. The teacher didn't show so I got free, free time!!! Yay!

It's nothing huge, just the fate of the world.

Right now I'm sitting in the "study bubble" in our dorm hall. Obviously, I am not studying. I'm people watching and reminiscing about my day. Not much of a day but I feel I got a lot done.

I woke up and went to the last Writing As Critical Thinking class of the semester (can I get a woot woot?)!! Got a B+ over all and I feel good about it! Muwahahaha. Did some Christmas shopping and due to the sensitive nature of the information contained I cannot post on this blog that which I bought or that which was looked upon with consideration. Sorry guys.... No peeky peeky here. Haha! *ahem* So I also learned that I cannot cash checks in Kirksville which makes for an awkward moment with the cashier at the bank. But crisis averted and all is well. Got the problem sorted out an I should have my money soon.

I am also slightly disturbed at the elections in D.R.C... Postponed for another day? Really Congo? How hard is this? Count the votes, elect winner. End of story. Thank you and goodnight.

Ok. So this current paragraph is being written at 2:37am (central U.S time) on 12/9/2011.

Thought I'd touch up my post before it hit the internet. With what? I don't know. But really what's on my mind right now is the sheer amount of intolerance that is out there towards Christians. Especially Christians in politics. People may say that we should separate church and state but that does not mean taking God out of the equation. The church is an organised group autonomous from the state but both fall under God's command. It's fine and dandy to ignore the truly religious minority (and those that are, are becoming more and more rare) and generalize Christians with all the other Christians; but say a Muslim is like all other Muslims and they all blow things up will likely get you sued, shot, hate mail or all of the above. Say the same thing about Jews and you're suddenly Hitler. Say it about the GBLT and you're intolerant in the highest degree. But, say anything you want about Christianity and you're golden, you're praised, you might even be given a Nobel prize. Regardless of your beliefs, I'm sure that as an intelligent individual you can see the target. It's simply not fair and it needs to stop.

The good, the bad, and the ohmygoshit'swaytoocoldoutside!

It's getting cold.... Way too cold. Apparently not only is a snowstorm headed our way now but they're predicting a snowpocalypse 2.0 (we had one last year). Last year it was something like 4 feet and sticking and this year it's predicted to be the same or worse! All in all not terrible other than the frostbite, cold toes and fingers, the biting wind on my 1/2 mile way to class, the snowball gorilla warfare and other things. Ok. The only good points here are my Calvin and Hobbes snowmen (They WILL be made) and the possibility of a snow-day when I can build these snowmen.

But right now life's not bad. French Proff didn't show again and class is canceled problem is, it's crazy cold outside and my mind is still running with Congo/Florida seasonal signals. Meaning it shold be a good 75 degrees outside....not 7.
