Day 1 of 10SP

ALERT: katie just planted 3 trees in cameroon to help save the planet. hayleah planted 3 trees in cameroon. brandi planted 1 tree in lake tahoe and 1 tree in guatamala to help save the planet. thank you to chegg for helping us plant trees to help save the environment and saving us money on books :) we love you. 

**gunshot** let the race begin! the semester is underway and i cant believe that i am in my 6th semester of college. i feel like high school graduation was last year. 

current song: reign in us, starfield. sah-weet. 

I had two classes today, cell bio and english... yay for the first, barf on the second. i am dreading english already and i have only been once. i DO NOT like english one bit, esp the reading parts. i think i should have more of an appreciation for it, but its just not there for me. maybe its cause, in english, there is gray areas, and science/math there is less gray and more black/white. i like black/white worlds where there is a right or wrong answer. but then again, i feel like there is some gray areas in my life that i dont want judged to black/white standards. so gray, i welcome you.

first things first, had a quiz in cell bio! ON THE FIRST DAY! hopefully he wont count it :-/ (cause it was definitely bombed). english was ok, the professor seems very nice and understanding. im hoping she will be able to work with me when i struggle with interpreting these crazy hard poems, stories, and all the other crap literature. i think it will be out of my comfort zone for academics, but i think it will be a good semester in english. 

church on sunday was great. brandi went with hayleah and i, and from what i can tell, she liked it. "farmer phil" (who is from cali, like brandi---ironic, yes!) talked about the matt 13 passage of the different soil types. he challenged us to examine the condition of our own soil and our receptivity to the word of god and christ. out of the 3 soils, i feel like i am soil 3. i have a distracted heart that is caught up in idols of this world and therefore my faith and witness is weakened. to help me move to soil 4 (whole heartedly serving christ), "farmer phil" encouraged us to be honest with ourselves and god and repent. i am know striving to be real and honest with god this semester. pray for me in this journey. 

this next couple of weekends should be fun. i am turning 21 and am going to go wild and crazy- haha, lol. not really. i am going to eat with my parents, and probably my friends, and going to trail dust with some friends for a night of dancing and fellowship :) i cant wait
