Hmmm... its crazy to look at my last entry... so much has changed since then... I was soo looking forward to coming home for Christmas... nothing went like I had planned. Does anything ever go like we plan?  ... hmm... it all just really sucks.  I hate that he is gone...

hmm... but coming back to college has been okay... it was nice to get away from everything at home.  My Classes are pretty hard... so that takes up a lot of my time... Im at work right now... I work everyday now, only for like 2-3 hours, but its really easy and I get to work on homework so thats nice.  I have been having  a lot of fun with a group of girls that I hang out with everyday.  We are all sooo different, which I think makes us so close.  We call ourselves a family... one of these days I will put some pictures on here of all of us.  Its pretty cool that we all made a new friend too, and he is special... lol... I think its funny that that is how I describe him... but it just fits.... he survived a genacide (sp?) which is pretty much awesome... his name is Atem (sp?) and he remembers my name now, so thats cool.  But its so cool to hear him talk about where he came from and his life before he came here.  His mother and father died when he was young, so he only has an idea of how old he is, which he assumes is 24... isnt that crazy?  This man is a black man... I mean I have seen black people... but he is black... and hes reallly tall and skinny.  He has a soft voice and we all are copnstantly telling him to "speak up" lol.  When you shake his hand he is just so gentle... hes special... lol... Im so drawn to him... I am so interested in his story... I guess there is only 4 of his people left.  Isnt that almost unbelievable?  If any of you come to visit me at school you have to meet all of my friends and Atim Atem or whatever lol. Its funny that I wrote so much about this guy but seriously... hes special lol... 

hmm what else is new at school.... just about every one of the guys that I hung out with last semester have become pot heads and smoke pot 24-7... its disgusting.  So needless to say I havnt been upstairs as much this semester, I mean we will be chillin in a room then they shut the door and get there little system set up so that the smoke alarm doesnt go off and I just peace out, Im not gonna be a part of all that. One morning I opened up my window to the wonderful aroma of marajuana floating into my room. SWEET... just kidding its not.  A lot of the guys have been getting in trouble for it too, like one of my good friends got arrested last weekend... I need to be praying for them all more... I hate to see them like that...

Overall life is pretty good, God's takin care of me... I may be transferring next year... so if ya'll get a minute pray about it because I am in shambles just thinkin about it.

I love you alllllll
