Since I have just been reading everyone else's journals and not posting anything in my own, I figured I owed everyone an update. I am all moved into my condo, however, I will be leaving for France (studying abroad at GT Lorraine this summer) on Monday. Living at Elise's apt. until then since my mom took the car with her when she left. Call me if you want to see me before then! |

It feels so good to be up on a Sunday morning, wide awake, and getting ready for church... |

| Parking Office |
[Feb. 16th, 2005|01:51 am] |
So yeah...
This is my second parking ticket this week for parking in a lot I should be able to park in. When the rules state that the zone is only enforced Monday-Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, tickets should not be written for cars with GT hangtags parked there Sunday at 11 AM nor on Tuesday at 9 PM... GRRRRRRRR |

I figured I should probably update since I haven't done so for awhile. Last Wednesday, mom called and said that someone asked her if she wanted to ride to Atlanta with them for the weekend. I told her I was busy all night Friday and all afternoon/evening on Sunday, but if shw wanted to come, she could. I made my mother's week. Anyways, I asked my boss for Friday off since mom was getting into town in the morning (leaving home at 2 AM). I had a nice day Friday (sleeping in!) and then going with mom to lunch and a movie. I finally can cross one movie off of my list of movies I want to see (Lemony Snicket's... good movie). Now I only have 3 or 4 left... I dropped mom off at the hotel and came back and went to KKY's first degree. I GOT A LITTLE BROTHER!!!! His name is Brian Johns. He's cool. I'm looking forward to this candidate semester since not only do I have a little brother, but both of my bigs have a little brother as well. Plus, my friend Josh is a candidate (and his big brother is my big brother as well). I'll get to spend a lot of time with all of them this semester. How fun. Its weird having people ask to interview me and it not being the other way around. My first interview (with Brian) should be sometime this week. I'm excited. Saturday we woke up with all the ice around. Mom and I laughed at everyone trying to open their cars up, and had fun getting the ice off of mine as well. We did a lot of scrapbooking, and then came back to Tech in the late afternoon so I could pick up pep band pants from Rachel. The people mom rode up with called and asked if she minded staying til Monday, and since she already had Monday off, she agreed. Sunday we came back to Tech and went to the women's basketball game. Then I had to leave mom in my room while I went to TBS first degree. Got back kinda late, but played cards with mom and Josh. Josh isn't afraid to learn card games from my family like Mary Beth is... :-D I found out on Monday that I got into Georgia Tech Lorraine! YAY! I'm going to FRANCE this summer! |

| Sorely Needed Update |
[Jan. 28th, 2005|01:20 am] |
Yeah, I haven't been writing in my own livejournal much lately, but I have been reading my friends pages. Not really anything to write about lately.
I had a good day today. My boss let me take tommorrow off even though I asked for the day off just one day prior. Someone from church invited mom to ride up her with them tommorrow (today), and they are leaving PH at 2 AM (so... 40 minutes from now). Anyways, it is just easier if I sleep in tommorrow and see her when she gets here. I'm not complaining. Anyways, I worked for a little over an hour when my boss invited me to go to this panel discussion on GIS systems (how you relate latitude and longitude and the problems individual governmental entities are facing). I got in free since I was a student, so it was kinda cool. It was at the Bank of America building. My boss was saying that we would just have to ride MARTA from the 5 Point Station, since that is the only place we could park anywhere near, so I was thinking where on Tech campus I could park with my hangtag. I ended up just driving the both of us and leaving my car in the deck on west campus, then taking a Stinger to the other side of campus. It proved my point though that I can't go anywhere on campus without running into someone I know. As I was getting off the bus, Hannah Taylor was getting on, so I congratulated her on accepting her bid. The meeting started off on the 52nd floor of the building, which is really close to the top. WONDERFUL view. Anyways, the room had accidently been double booked for the morning, so we had to move half the meeting downstairs to the 37th (in a row...) floor. Still a decent view, but the confrence room we were was on the inside of the building. That meeting ended about noon, so we had to head back to the TMC. On the bus ride back to west campus, Christina LoBracco was on the bus, and was joined by Steven Douglas, Matt Inglese, and Becca. Lots of people I know for being on campus long enough to take the bus to the other side. Anyways, once we got back to the TMC it was time for a meeting on managing traffic for preplanned special events. That was cool. Everyone from our building was sitting in a conference room that overlooks the control room of georgia navigator, watching a screen and listening to the speaker talk. The first speaker was at the Virginia Department of Transportation. That wasn't too horribly interesting, though it was kinda cool to think that they were formulating traffic signals to deal with holiday traffic around shopping malls. I was completely impressed, however, with the guys from Los Angelas who were talking. It makes me want to move to LA when I graduate to become a traffic engineer for preplanned special events (they only have ~4500 per YEAR). It was kinda funny though cause by the end of the meeting 3/4 of the people had left our room. Though it was because of a dual-fatality accident on I-285 and then another accident that shut down 7/8 lanes of the connector. For awhile, it was taking close to an hour to go 10 miles through downtown. Thats just crazy. So people need to drive. If this is how they drive in regular weather, I hate to see what is going to happen Friday night/Saturday morning. I'm glad I don't have to go in with nasty weather conditions. Ah, the perks of being a co-op student. And the fact that my boss knows my mother is in town. I took my lunch at 2:45 and then only had to work for 45 minutes after I got back. Tonight was cool. I thoroughly enjoyed CCF (as always) and was even more entralled with our win over WAKE FOREST. So crazy. But we won. I now don't completely doubt their abilities. Anyways, I am going to finish getting ready for bed, then call mom to tell her we won. She needs to hear my cheerful voice to remember why she is getting up so early on a Friday morning... NIGHT! |

| TRFKATCR |
[Jan. 16th, 2005|09:53 pm] |
So I just got back this afternoon from "The Retreat Formerly Known As The Christmas Retreat". It was one awesome experience. Other than playing on the offensive line for the Flamingo Football game (girls vs. guys, guys can only use one leg) and totally beating up on boys, there was a lot said that got me thinking. TRFKATCR is known as the love retreat. We talked about the different types of love: family, erotic, friends, God, and how each is supposed to fit into our lifes. I figured I'd share a few things with y'all that I found really important.

Endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

Sigh... I guess this means this semester is almost over. Band banquet starts in about 15 minutes. And I'm waiting on GUYS to finish getting ready so we can leave... j/k. I asked David for a ride over cause I didn't want to drive and we still have some time. I just get so anxious when I'm ready to go somewhere and am waiting for others or the clock. It drives me crazy. I think I have a small case of ADD-- I can't sit still AT ALL. It just doesn't work. Most of the time. Including now. ARRRG! |

[Nov. 24th, 2004|08:18 pm] |
Hey all! I'm in Savannah til Friday. Yay. MY dad won't be here for another few hours and I am just kinda hanging out with my grandparents and watching some tv.
For some reason, my cell doesn't get service in some parts of the house. Its kinda frustrating when you are trying to call someone. So basically, to reach me, call and leave a message. Or check AIM. Cause when I am at the computer I pull AIM Express up.
HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!!! |

I love it when God speaks to me.
1 Samuel 2:4
The bows of the warriors are broken
but those who stumble are armed with strength.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not men. |

| Day 11 |
[Nov. 11th, 2004|10:28 am] |
Improve your credit.
Take note of people who deserve recognition—the cashier for being on her feet all day, the customer-service rep for helping you with a bill. Let them know you appreciate them. |

| Basketball and Day 9 |
[Nov. 8th, 2004|11:54 pm] |
Yay for basketball... such a fun sport!
I actually did well tonight, and made some shots. What was really cool though is, after we had been playing for awhile, these two girls came up and asked if they could join. Of course we said yes. Then we found out they were both freshman on the basketball team. No 5- Jill and No 43- Chioma. I came back and looked them up on Ramblinwreck.com to find out that they both scored in the double digits in their last game. I am pretty sure that the two of them started. It was kinda crazy. We had fun though, and they are possibly going to come out and play with us again. After they left, we decided that the Branch Barks would "sponsor" the girls basketball team and go out to their games. I realize that I sat through half the home games last year and didn't find them all that entertaining, but if I know someone, it makes it better, right?
Anyways... I'm off to bed...
Day 9:
Don’t stop changing.
Rearrange your room. Try a new food. Change is good.
How true is that. I have definately made some changes in the way I relate to people this year, and its made a world of difference! |

| Day 8 |
[Nov. 8th, 2004|10:11 am] |
Log On
For your screen saver, plug in a quote like this one from Meister Eckhart: “If the only prayer you ever say in your life is ‘Thank you,’ that would suffice.” |
|
|
| Day 7 |
[Nov. 6th, 2004|11:59 pm] |
Down to earth.
Gratitude isn’t an escape from reality and tough times. Give thanks for the strength and wisdom you’ve gained through struggle.
Wow... We have already had a week of November... |
|
|
| Day 6 |
[Nov. 6th, 2004|10:35 am] |
I thought this one was kinda appropriate for today!
Fall for fall.
Rake leaves into a big pile (or just play in the ones on campus…). Savor a crisp apple and let the juice run down your chin. Cheer for your college football team. Go Jackets! Sting ‘Em! |
