hey guys i just got back from University of Florida orientation. i've decided to major in history, because it has a lot of freedom and only a few absolutely required classes. because i want to go into the ministry as soon as possible, and figure that i need some sort of college degree to get hired by a church, i put myself on the fast track since i already have a lot of credits that go towards the history major. wow, i'm tired and can't write anything but run on sentences, and i'm going to college! well, the whole process was very drawn out and full of many many presentations that didn't seem that important to me. but i got done all the things i had to get done so i'm pretty much set for college. i have to work out a couple kinks in my schedule but it should all be good.

don't get me wrong, i'm not exactly expecting perfectly smooth sailing, but i'm trying to make the transition as easy as possible. you see, this is a big step for me, as with anyone, but i'm still a little nervous, though not as much as before. see i was debating whether i should go to college at all or jump right into the ministry. both sides have arguments to support them, but right now i feel as if i should at least give college a shot. if God calls me into the ministry before that, i'm down. its hard to know whether i'm doing this whole college thing because myself, my family, and society wants me to, or if that is God's will. i've had contradicting advice on which is my best plan, but ultimately its up to God.

i just pray i'm making the right choice and not choosing the world over God.

who knew wanting a college degree might pull me away from God?

i was about to go into detail about the pros and cons, and my philosophy on what either choice means, but it is too much to write at 2 am and i have to work tomorrow.

just pray that i have wisdom and am going where God wants me.

thanks to everyone who reads this/prays for me.

i need guidance...

so today was pretty good. 1st and 2nd block were alright, 3rd block lecture was entertaining, i read rick reilly's "hate mail from cheerleaders" during 4th block, so that helped kill time, and school wasnt so bad. what can i say, sports illustrated based writings make any day better. then did a little work, worked out, had a good dinner and got started on my application to UF. it wasnt very fun, but i managed to knock it out, essay included, and it sounded pretty good. its good to feel like you have a future... im just kidding. then i got to go see shannon for a few hours. which made it a great day. plus, there are rumors that my school hours maybe changed for the better, but none of its confirmed, we'll see.
