Inside the Mind of a Musical Doll

I dyed my hair

I tried posting a pic, But I don’t seem to know how to do it 🙂

Here’s what’s been going on
~Schools good. Mostly As and 2 Bs so far
~DJ and Sharon had their baby
~Registered for summer classes at Grossmont
~Got my new piano book.
~Went to Ashleigh’s birthday party, sort of learned to swim :3
~Did a lot of shopping during spring break.

I think that’s it, I’ll add more if I forgot anything. I’m at Renae and Jame’s house. Later

As many of you know, Andrew and I went to San Diego last weekend and I apologize for not blogging sooner. I had a lot of fun and I got to know him a lot better. I don’t have the memory card from the pictures so I can’t post any. So sorry.

Balboa Park? It was great. Downtown? Awesome. The food? Delicious. All that was  great, but what was even better, is seeing all the tourists. It’s fun watching Andrew pull out a map trying to find his way around. It’s fun having a stranger telling me facts about San Diego like he knew the place (He was from some other state, I forgot.) It’s fun listening to people say “I wanna go on the Coronado Bridge.” I mean seriously, it’s just like any other road, there’s just no shoulder lane.

And now it’s time to talk about what we’ve learned today… “And so what we have learned applies to our lives today, God has a lot to say in His Book. You see we know that God’s Word is for everyone, now that our song is done we’ll take a look.”

I’ve learned that Americans use a fork and a knife rather than a fork and a spoon.

I’ve learned the importance of having an umbrella and a raincoat, even in San Diego.

I’ve learned of another way to french tip my nails.

I’ve learned what stimulus checks are.

I’ve learned the importance of having a good testimony, especially on the internet.

I’ve learned that my friends love me, care for me, and want what’s best for me. I now understand why they do what they do and I appreciate them for it. I love them very much and I’m sorry for not calling them as often.

I’ve learned that it’s not always the guy you’re in a  relationship with, but where the relationship is headed that can be the problem.

Sorry if this was all dramatic and turns on the water works, but I felt like this all needed to be said. I’m hoping things get better after today 🙂

I never update…. I should more often I guess…

So I’m sitting here in the student center waiting for time to pass by. I have to work the counter today, which is during break time. So basically, I’m stuck here til the last break.

Yesterday, it rained and it poured. I was drenched. After church I was still drenched. We went shoe shopping after and I was still drenched. The debate yesterday was awesome. Andrew kind of embarrased me a little, but it’s okay, it was funny. Jay did a great message after. He never ceases to amaze me.

And finally, an unspoken prayer request was answered 🙂

Ok. So I didn’t want to have to tell everyone this and make a big scene. I wanted everyone to notice this and just figure it out. But oh well. Yes, Andrew and I are dating again. It’s kind of a long story and I’m sorry for not telling anyone.

The second week of school has gone by and I still don’t have half my books yet. Which means I’ll have to cram in a ton of reading once I get them.

Lighthouse Bible Baptist Church in La Puente is having Evangelistic meetings this weekend with Dr. Hal Hightower and everyone is welcome to come. I’ll be singing special on Saturday.

Sorry for not updating in forever. I guess I just got lazy. Anyway. Jireh’s violin school is up and running again. For more info, look at my violin lesson page on the left hand margin.

So it’s the second week of school now, and I think it’s gonna be a better semester than the last one. For one. I went down to 14 credits this semester, so I’ll have A LOT more time to study and more time slots open for violin lessons. I don’t have class on Friday so I think I’ll use that time to volunteer somewhere like LBA or ACA or somewhere. Secondly, a very good friend of mine is back 🙂 Less stress on the mind for that one.  Thirdly, but probably most importantly, I have a renewed mind and spirit on God and life, and I’m a lot more determined now, which help me out a lot considering the stuff that happened last semester:).

Now that it’s December, I can sing and play Christmas songs all I want without my roommates saying “JIREH IT’S NOT EVEN DECEMBER YET! STOP SINGING!” Yipee. So when I got to the dorm yesterday, I found the dorm decorated with lots of wrapping paper. It’s very pretty. We also have stockings and a nativity scene on top of the fireplace. It’s cool because the stockings match our personalities. I’m really excited for Christmas. Only 24 more days! and 11 days until school is over! =)

By the way. I just found out that I won’t be able to make it to Winter formal because of a conflict in schedules. Sorry everyone =(.

My room is a total mess right now because I’m doing laundry and packing for Thanksgiving break back home in San Diego.

Ironwood was totally awesome. I learned so much from Mrs. Pryde and the food was great. I met some awesome new people, and I got to know my PBC sisters a little better. I’m really looking forward to the specifics conference in January. I bought some books there at like bargain prices and some CDs of her sessions. Most of the CDs I got dealt with teen issues. I’m actually thinking about working with teens in the future. If I’m gonna be a teacher, might as well right? 🙂

As for the drama. Well, it’s still there, but its getting better, now that the emotional wave of anger and disappointment has passed. We’re on speaking terms now, which is great because rumors are starting to get cleared up.

Sorry for not updating much. I miss you all and Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you to all the veterans and those currently in the military for serving our country. I’m still proud to be an American despite…yeah

So, life is good now. No drama lately, although I’ve completely given up on my semester goals since I think I broke all of them 🙂 I’m looking forward to the basics conference in Ironwood next week. 4 days of nonstop lecture with Debi Pryde. Really, she has good insight on lots of things and I love learning from her. I’m also looking forward to Winter formal. They want me to play my violin again, but that’s ok because I love doing it 🙂 Well, I’m off to finish my 2 semester projects that are due this week…COFFEEEEEEEE!

It all started on friday, being Andrew’s birthday. First we hung out at his house for a little bit. Then we went to the Santa Monica beach. After watching a beautiful sunset, we explored the carnival and the pier. The next day, I took CPR, AED, and First Aid Classes yesterday. It was fun, but long. We had a lot of fun memories. I am now certified to give cpr and administer first aid =). Today we had the Fuchs, missionaries to the Philipines. They were really cool people. Now here I am doing missions intensive homework. =)

Here’s a random quote for the night: Music is God’s gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth, and the only art of earth we can take to Heaven-Walter Salvage Landor
