Holy Sickness, Batman!

*cough cough* Gosh it's been a whole month already and I'm still dry coughing. Throat is always itchy and i hak out nothing. Nothing but dry coughs like I had a desert for dessert. My doctor says it's allergies and gave me something similar to Zyrtec and Mucinex and some inhaler sprays. I wish I could say its effective. I'm alot better than before but still not 100%. This sucks. It bothers me because it's annoying. ROOOARRR

Leopard

So I've been trying to get Mac OS X Leopard for about a month now and have been failing. A friend of mine is busy but said he'll ship it to me when he's free, another friend had it but its specific to the individual laptop, and my coworker gave me his but the disc is all scratched and it wont load! Bit Torrent will take about 3 days to download! So close yet so far! Should I just buy it?! ARRGHHH

Let me try something new

Summer Retreat 2010

Could You take me beyond. Could You carry me through. If I opened my heart. Could I go there with You.

Got all depressed as soon as I got home from the retreat Monday. Booo.

Retreat, or "advanced" because retreat means to run away according to the speaker, was a nice and refreshing time. Dr. Rick Higgins was our speaker and I felt his messages were pretty relevant but his flow was a bit slow for me which made my mind wander off at times. He mentioned "the room of good intentions", where our intentions are in the right place but we rely on our own strengths to get things done, and "the room of grace", where we rely on the grace of Jesus. He also encouraged us to stop trying and start trusting instead. That got me to think of my own standing. More often than not I have good intentions but rely on myself, which makes it kinda selfish. Greg's workshop (and late night talk with my roomie, Erwin) got me to really a list of non-negotiable standards in looking for "the one".

I also miss the fellowship time we had with one another, new friends and old. All the random volleyball games to our activities, to our small groups, to our creepy dance, to our adventure to Wawa for their deliciously fattening Cookies n Cream donut and their amazing prime rib sandwich. Mmmm

And now its back to life...with a new approach of course. =] I hope...

It's not even supposed to be about you. Why did I stress it?

One man riot.

Tuesdays have become my new Monday. My brain rot the most on Tuesdays and it's the day when time stands still. Add inconsiderate, rude, obnoxious people and overtime it becomes a one man riot.
