Good Music, Iowa, Pop Quizzes...

I'm sittin here in the school computer lab, listening to a new Ashley Ray demo, called "Chasing Cowboys" and holy woah, I feel like the girl is always singing my life story. She is amazingly talented beyond belief.

I had an absolutely great weekend in Iowa! I really don't think there is anything better than seeing my friends I don't see nearly enough, I don't know that I could ever put a limit on the miles I'd go just for Saturday nights with those friends. However, Jack and I might have to take a Ross and Rachel, "we were on a break" moment for just a little while. I would have rather not wanted to spend the time in the hotel room asleep, instead of being crazy with Hailey, Emily, and Lyssa...but it happens. One day I'll learn.

I'm sad that weekend is over, and I can't wait for spring break in Nashville.

Moving on to the freakin' week, bleh.

I had a pop quiz in my Comparative Religion class today, it was tragic. Seven questions, one after one, I could write nothing down...finally on Question 4, I put, "I obviously haven't read this chapter yet!", ha, I'm sure the prof. laughed at that one. I did know one question though, "What is Nirvana?" Thank goodness for my love of music, I remembered watching a special on Nirvana or something, thus, I knew the meaning. Lucky for me, the prof. told us afterwards that the quiz was not for credit...I think he just wanted to scare us. I'll be more prepared for the next one.

Thats all for now.

lets play catch up.

I haven't written in nearly a month, thats pretty sad. Things have been pretty busy lately, with classes and work, followed by homework, and sleep. I'm honestly so ready to finish this college thing and move on. I know people say these are supposed to be the best years of your life, but I have not been convinced in the slightest. Maybe its my school, or maybe its just me, either way, I'm ready for a big change.

My Comparative Religion class, does, however, seem that it might be somewhat interesting. The subject itself anyway. It should be neat to learn about different religious traditions and cultures. The prof. is really a fun guy, but kind of all over the place when it comes to lecture. Maybe I should start writing in pencil.

I really need a good book to read. Anything really, besides for that Twilight stuff. I guess I never was one to follow trends, especially about vampires. I'm sure its a great collection, but not for me. I want to find something that will fascinate me, that I won't be able to put down for hours. I haven't found a good book like that in a long time.

I missed The Office three weeks in a row. I can't believe this. I really need to catch up.

Wow. This blog is all over the place.

On an end note, I think we are experiencing a big change in the world. But, we must remain hopeful. Together we can make it. --A little Hanson for your hearts. I love this song.

"Great Divide"

The earth is shaking under siege
And every breath will meet it's fate
Still we hunger for a moment of freedom
Even though the hour is late

I find hope and it gives me rest
I find hope in a beating chest
I find hope in what eyes don't see
I find hope in your hate for me
Have no fear when the waters rise
We can conquer this great divide

When every eye is on the fortune
It can only breed contempt
They say blood is thicker than oceans
Still we box our brothers in
I find hope and it gives me rest
I find hope in a beating chest
I find hope in what eyes don't see
I find hope in your hate for me
Have no fear when the waters rise
We can conquer this great divide
