I never was very good at keeping a diary...

Well sorry this has taken so long folks, basically week two kicked my butt. Thank God for three day weekends.

Week two was exhausting. Two papers and about fifty billion pages of reading took a lot out of me. Almost made me never want to read again. It was a bit of a rude awakening, week one was just an introduction and the rest of the year will be more like last week. My work ethic is really sucking right now, I keep procrastinating and it's biting me in the butt (having to stay up late and get up early to get stuff done).

I've already had my faith "challenged". In my history class, the professor basically our class that the Bible can't possibility be an accurate source...I beg to differ. Then in my mythology class we discussed the supposed different accounts of the creation of man/woman in Genesis. First of all, I didn't appreciate discussing the Bible in a mythology class, as if it were mythology. Second of all during the discussion when I said I didn't see it as two different accounts, but as one just providing more description than the other. The professor replied, "You're only seeing it that way because you don't want to see it the other way". I was kind of taken back and thought for a minute and said to myself (not out loud) "yeah pretty much". In my journalism class our professor asked us if there was right and wrong and if people should be punished for using other people's research and not siting them. ONLY FIVE OF TWENTY PEOPLE IN THAT CLASS SAID THERE IS RIGHT AND WRONG AND THERE SHOULD BE PUNISHMENT!! I was absolutely shocked...there is right and there is wrong, just as there's black and white. I really couldn't believe it.

Prayer requests: that I have more energy this week, that I keep my faith strong, that my work ethic would improve, for my family, for my poppy to get more work....and I know this is kinda lame, but for Reds' pitcher Micah Owings, that he would be healed of his head injury/ear injury (after getting hit by a pitch) and that he wouldn't lose faith (Micah is one awesome dude, check out his blog if you get the time)

Praises: that school is going well and going fast, that I'm getting along well with my roomie, and my cousin's boyfriend got a job...and for just about every thing :)
