I'm just about to leave for Palm Springs in about 5 minutes. But I really feel so blessed right now that I had to share it.

I think I might have found a college that is perfect for me, and funnily enough I didn't even want to go there in the beginning. Did God lead me there? Did God push my dad to take me to San Diego? I'd like to think He had something to do with it, and I think He really did.

Things are going pretty good right now and I'm afraid that one day it will just stop. But for now I am not going to forget about God during the good times. Even though things are going great for me... they aren't going great because I did everything by myself. God deserves all the glory.

So... YAY!
Have a great weekend all. :)

Giving Blood

EDIT:
Giving blood is such a natural high. Seriously. I couldn't stop smiling for the 5 minutes and 45 seconds that blood was draining out of my arm.
And I only smiled harder when I found out that I beat Kevin's time. :)

-------------------------------------------------

It's 11:52 pm right NOW. And in some amount of hours (that I don't feel like calculating because I just found out that I did bad on my math test) many people, including me, will be giving blood. I'm super excited that I can give blood. I only have a couple of worries.
1. I will have low iron and will not be able to actually give blood. Bummer.
2. It's very unlikely, but I'm afraid I will faint, pass out, hit hard.
But apparently we get sandwhiches afterwards, yay!!! And Kevin better be right about that. Ya hear Kevin???

College applications are coming up. I have to find a SAT class to take online, or find one that only goes on weekends. I can't take a class on weekdays because I have volleyball, even though it feels like it is sucking the life out of me. Against St. Josephs on Thursday I RAN INTO A POLE trying to save a ball. And we still didn't win. It was close, but...
no win.

This post is turning negative.
But here's something funny. My dad just pried open our safe about 20 minutes ago. Yep. And it only took him about 5 minutes with an extremely large crow bar. What a safe, what a safe. I feel safe.

Movies

Movies are awesome. Take You've Got Mail. Such a great feel-good movie, with an ending that makes me cry every single time. The story is a composition of romance and comedy. That is just the best kind of movie there is.
There is some sort of fascination in the world with movies that have shootings, blood, and just plain scary stuff! Why would I EVER want to watch one of those movies? Everytime I see one, I get a little more freaked out of the world. Each time I see a movie like that it becomes a part of me. It really does. It does for all of us.
Give me a funny movie, a romance movie, an inspirational movie, a family movie, a disney movie, a ______ movie and I'll take it. Just exclude the scary movies. Except the dirty movies. Those can burn. :]

Some great and awesome movies:
You've Got Mail
Sleepless in Seattle
Remember the Titans
When Harry Met Sally
Grease
Stick It
Raising Helen
13 Going On 30
Legally Blonde
Austin Powers

Movies are great. But don't base your whole life around them.
Society needs to stop pushing the envelope farther and farther. Pretty soon our movies will be like those in 1984 and by then the world will be loving them. Pretty scary.

The girls of Stick It

While on the bus last night, Sarah and I were talking about dating and kissing and what is okay. What is okay????? That requires some serious thought, and some serious asking yourself what God says is okay.
