"I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.."
— Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook)
Why is it all about love?? Gosh i hope love is awesome since I spend so much time thinking about it. Who is in it and who's not. Will I ever find it? Will it last? will it be that guy? how about that one? I really don't want to be let down when I finally find it...
I want someone to say one day that one of the greatest accomplishments of their life was loving me, and loving me for me the crazy mess that I am.
I want to be able to say right back that they were one of the biggest defining forces in my life.
I want what all of humanity wants which is to be loved, and loved well.
I think that's possibly the most conformist thing about me.

ouch!

this has been one crazy monday!
I did my morning routine, and then grabbed a capachino with rachel on the way to class, but it's been such a long day that i cant believe that was today at all.
Then went to class, and thankfully my 11am was cancelled, so i ran back to the dorm and finished the questions that were due for lab at 1.
Then I layed down for like 5 minutes, but then I got up to grab super quick lunch then go to bio ex credit on time management, then i had lab, which was super exaughsteing since for some reason at one point my lab partners designated me a task that i felt i couldnt do properly, and i felt like they werent helping, and ever decision i made i felt like they were undermining. But it got better, and we ended up going over a little on time, but so did the whole class.
Then I went back to my room and feel into a dead sleep for an hour and a half, which was the blessed highlight of my dayy. Then rob wanted me to come over, and i did cause we needed to talk about him being (excuse my french) a witch. then we talked that out, and I'm really still not happy about the whole thing but he recognized that nothing was my fault that he freaked out for no reason pertaining to me. Then we hung out w/ppl for a few min, and then I went to din din with ang,and talked it out with her. Brendan came by and we talked a lil about it too. Then me and ang went back to her room, and Djejry stopped by, and he and i went to rob's to meet up with everyone for Angel's birthday to go to the diner. Then we walked there, and we all laughed and joked, and we ate and sang and laughed, and walked back doing the same thing. I was joking around with kevin and he made me feel really bad cause he said i was inconsiderate of rob's feeling by joking around too much wioth him and Djerjy which is true but it stung, but he did it carefully but it still hurt, but he was right. Now I have no idea how to act, and its frustrating. Rob got sick at dinner, and i of course took the bossy role of ensuring he took propper care of himself cause frankly he was fragrantly disregaurding his health and more than anything is pissed me off. By the time we got back to the room he has apperantly thrown up twice more, which i didnt know cause I'd been talking to Djerjy and Kevin about my coldheartedness. So I oersirbed a bottle of water, and rest, the rest he disregaurded but the water her drank.
We played poker, and I came back to the dorm at a lil before 12, and decided to get my laundry done tonight. SO that's what I'm doing right now. MY laundry. SO I will have more time to study, and work out tomorrow.
But right now I'm tired, and I feel lonely.
I will live and everything will be fine, but Kevin's reprove still stings(although he jokes with me as much as i do him I think it was a reprove to himself as muich as it was too me), and I feel like in order to put this whole thing behind me I have to move on and not talk about it, but I still feel no peace about the situation.
So if your reading this please pray for me:)
I also have two tests this week and an essay due monday, and another test either this week or next week.
I'm running on fumes and it's monday :)
Lord help me!

It's not that you're not beautiful, you're just not beautiful to me

lol and ahhhhh okay im going to the gym,a nd work off some of this energy!

I'm soo glad I came home this weekend, i had a blast, and i had missed them soo much!

But I'm super excited about getting back to campus too!

I can't believe that mommy is really moving to ARK!

So things are going to be a little different around here!

Everyone is seeking God's will(aka their great perhaps) and it is so exciting to see!

Gotta get back to campus to finish my bio lab :P

love, love, love

Oh Gosh

I'm soo glad everyone is back!

Like seriously, it made me feel so much better when people started coming back to campus this morning!

I hung out with Angie all day!

We walked ALL OVER JERSEY CITY.

I expect to be sore manana.

Also rob came back, and brian and shane and all those guys that I'm pretty much friend with.

But really my main homies are Rob, Carlos, and Angie.

They are my favorites at least, but the rest are chill too.

anyways it's nice to have a big group to go to dinner with and stuff, it's so much less lonely and boring when everyone is here.

By the way there is pot all over the place here!! like almost everyone smokes! its crazy!!!

EWWWW it's major gross!

I wish I had class tomorrow

this whole time on my hands thing is bad for me

I mean I have been praying, and listening more BUT ITS SO DEPRESSING ON CAMPUS WHEN EVERYONE IS GONEEEE

like seriously!

but really today wasnt so bad,

What did I do tonight??

Well it started out getting back from the gym.

Then I showered and ordered chinese.

I ate, and watched old movies, until steve called and asked me to come outside and hang out with him.

So then I hung out with him, and Tim.

We went to 711 and got drinks(iced tea and stuff)

Then we came back and chatted on the picnic tables some more.

Then i went back to my room to finish my movie, and they wanted to come over so I told them they could stop by later if they really wanted.

So they did like 5 min after I got here.

Then we all hung out for a while and tim climbed in my bed and went on the laptop.

Steve eventually dipped cause he wanted to talk to his gf.

So me and Tim watched a movie, yes in my bed, only cause there rlly is no better place to watch tv.

BUT I MADE SURE NOTHING HAPPENED

If he got too close to my face I moved.

Anyways he just left now, and its pretty late.

After the movie we talked and and an ongoing cheek pinching war(yes i know this sounds familiar) BUT I WAS CAREFUL!

Gosh it's so hard to have male friends!

I will be more careful in choosing who i let come up next time.

Anyways nothing happened the most physical contact we had was for like a few minutes his head was on my knee, but even then I was so careful.

I WISH WE HAD COUCHES!

I HATE MEN...

okay there are a few I dont hate, but he isn't one of them lol

(okayy i just dont like him I dont hate him)

but he tried, and was denied.

that in itself is an improvement.

"So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane." — John Gree

That was malik's status at some point this week, and can I just say that I really want to be a hurricane?

Like whoever is reading this can stop now cause this is completely self indulgent, and I don't want to put you through that!(so you may ask"so why did u blog it?" the answer is I just need to k?)

I want to be a strong powerful force!

I mean I recognize that I will always be puny in God's eyes but I still want people to get caught in my whirlwind is that so bad?

I want to be a force to be re-conned with.

A pretty one though.

I want someone to fall in love with me, and for me to fall in love with him.(but that's so back-burner)

I want to the the best and the brightest.

Basically is there is an EST, and it's good then I want to be it.

LOL not really, but I do want most of that.

I want God's will for my life, and I want it to be a great plan.

Of course it's a good plan, it's His, but you know what I mean!

I want to like go help kids in china, rather than be stuck on some guy in jersey!

I want to do great things, and find great love, and make it count.

Those are all the things I want.

What am I doing to make those things happen?

Well I'm praying A LOT.

I am playing a lot

I am working out kinda-a lot

I am watching my mouth

I am watching my physical contact w/ opposite sex

I am running around and being MORGAN( as if I could help it)!

But right now this weekend I am relaxing.(I even lied to one Frankie and said i was sick so he wouldn't come over which was wrong.)

I am praying, and playing, and working out, and eating.

OH AND WATCHING BLACK AND WHITE MOVIES!

they are the best!!!

They have these leads that are pretty, and handsome, and in love.

AND THEY ALWAYS END HAPPILY!

now I'm not saying that life is supposed to be like that BUT I am happy, and my life is full of joy, the only thing missing is the male lead ;)

I'm just kiddin'!

Okayy well that's all I wanted to sayy

hurricane out :)

You Never Let Go :) - great song

God is so good.

I feel like every post should start with that!

Some days when I'm down like today and yesterday, and I cant figure out what's wrong with me I just feel so much better knowing that God has my back!

Like seriously!

Knowing that He's got some kind of plan for my life makes me feel both unworthy, and peaceful!

Even when I botch things up, and am mean to people, or tell a lie, He knows and He is faithful, just, and forgives me when I ask.

That is amazing to me.

He makes me feel full when I'm empty.

He gives me strength when my hugtank is empty, and I feel like no one here will ever give me the right hug I need(I know that sounds really weird but it makes sense to me)

He reassures me when I have doubts, and when I feel like a looser, or ugly He either puts someone in my path to make me feel better, or make the feeling go away.

He may not do things in my time, but He does things in His time, which is appropriate considering His is perfect and mine's not.

He is teaching me so much through this school, and the people here it's awesome, and often trying and reminiscent of high school.

He brings me words of wisdom through his word, and worship music, basically He has my back even when I don't realize I need Him too.

between a rock, and a hard place :)
