Pre-registration

Lalala! this week has gone fast! Seriously, it was really nice. I don't even remember what I've been up to. Oh... I have been reading the book Farenheit 451, and let me tell you, it's gotten my feathers riled. lol. The sad thing is, this book was written in the future, and he probably did not think the things in this book would come to, but oh it is slowly but surely. Books and reading in general are being hidden from view. Television and movies and the internet are taking over our lives, and it's scary to think. It made me frustrated with life and people who don't care to read. This also sucks because this is the field I'm going into yah know? My FIELD IS DWINDLING AWAY! That's not cool. Wow, how much one book can make someone think... Anyway, you should all read this book. It's good for the soul, body, and mind.

I went bowling on Tuesday for the first time... and I got 113!! That is soo not a bad score! And I even threw the ball correctly. Everyone who has been bowling would be oh so proud of me. Watch, I will be amazing when I'm done with this class. It is fun to do, but I don't know anyone in the class, so my friend is a mother. Kinda awkward... oh well. Life goes on.

I had a really deep discussion with a friend this week, and it was really good... for both of us. They had a lot to say, some I never even thought they would feel, but it was powerful to read. The reason it was good for me was because somehow God worked through me I think rather well, and I feel like I succeeded in helping this person. It made me think about my own life too... like really ponder it. Remember the things I have done wrong and how God has made me learn through these obstacles. If I sound full of myself, I'm sorry... that's not what I intended. I just feel good. And since this is my "online journal" I think it's okay I write my feelings. Moving forward...

So funny story. I'm laying in my bed, and Ali's bed is under mine, like a bunk bed thing. Well my bed is moving farther away from the wall, so I stuck my hand down there. Ali yells "Hey! Touch me!" As she reaches her hand towards me I pull away and say "no, I don't like that game...". It sounded so petafileish....you had to be there, but it was hysterical. I even made it into her quote book! Woo oo! Now THAT'S an honor.

I had to pre-register for classes today. It was rather scary. I didn't know what I was doing, or even what was going to happy, so I just was like...ok... turns out it was easy! All I had to do was sign up for the classes my advisor told me to sign up for, fill out some forms, get them OKed, and leave. It's gotta be way easier second time around. Now I won't know if I get into those classes until Nov. 15 so fingers crossed! It'd be really nice to get into them. I like that I can pick my times I want to go. So I probably never need to go to an early early class! Ahh..it's heaven. The one thing I did though was sign up for a lot of MWF classes. Nice because then classes are only 50 minute classes, but bad because I'm going to Montana again this year, and I'll miss a Friday and Monday....so I kinda hurt myself there. MEh...I'm sure it'll be fine.


Non-college moment: This was taken about a year ago, and basically what's goin on here is that Baby Jesus is chillin in his cradle, and ya know, Santa is there to visit. But I'm sure baby Jesus was crying or something because Big Bad Librarian Man came to hush him up! OH good story eh? I know I agree!! YAY! This was at Ben Little's house..oh good times.

Sister in Christ,

  2. I never realised how important a good bed was until I got a bad back�.
    Over 1,400 members of BackCare, the national organisation for healthy backs, responded to our Back Your Bed survey - the first of its kind to explore the views on beds of those who suffer from bad backs and the experts who treat them.
    SUMMARY OF THE BACK YOUR BED SURVEY RESULTS
    Buying a good bed is one of the most important purchases you can make when it comes to back pain relief. Nine out of 10 say their bed is more important to them since they developed back pain; 98% agreed that a good, supportive bed could help a bad back. 82% of experts felt that the right bed could help prevent back pain.
    "If you cannot rest properly and sleep well, this hinders recovery from back problems."
    A firm, supportive bed, not a hard one, can do wonders to ease and even prevent bad backs. Only 22% of sufferers had bought a bed classed as �orthopaedic�; while 28% describe their bed support as �medium�. Only 6% of experts would recommend an orthopaedic bed to patients.

    Three quarters would be prepared to spend more than �500 on a new bed: compared with just 36% of the �normal� population. Nearly one in 10 would pay more than �2,000 for a new bed to get the comfort and relief they need.
    Back pain sufferers are twice as likely as the rest of the population to own a new bed - 50% have beds that are less than five years old compared to the national average of 24%.
    88% are satisfied with their choice � but 16% said they would get a better quality one next time; while 9% would opt for something firmer; 5% said they would choose a softer bed and 4% wanted a bigger one.

    Sufferers are three times more likely to replace their beds when they no longer feel comfortable (65% compared with just 20%).
    31% own a king size bed compared with 11% generally. Separate mattresses zipped together are also popular with couples whose support needs differ or who are easily disturbed by their partner's movements. top
