ilu, Mom: "Amy, don't get so worn out and fall asleep in the middle of nowhere like you always do and miss your flight." Not only CAN I sleep through a hurricane, I HAVE!

In my Ancient Israel and Palestin class - one student asks "Are there any texts that are older than the Bible?" and I faceplamed. Do people realize that the modern day bible wasn't put together until after the death of Christ? That it has multiple authors? That it's composed of books written in different points of time and in different languages? It's not like the King James version was handed down from heaven.

Just found out that skipping breakfast not only is the WHO's #1 thing to do to earn yourself an early death, but it also stops hair growth. Maybe this is why I only have .5 inches of growth in three months. Grrr. Healthy eating, ahoy!

Just heard about 15-20 rounds discharged within two blocks of the house. I think whoever was firing stopped once to reload. The last few were so fast it was hard to count. Called the police and said hey, I heard it and I know what it sounds like, and she said they knew it was gunfire and are searching for the source. If you're in the area be careful.

OK one more thing and I'll stop spamming the news feed with Egypt stuff. I am listening to Al-Jazeera and never in a million years did I think one of their anchors might say "I think this situation shows that the Bush administration was astute and correct in calling for democracy in the Middle East."

OMG. OMG OMG OMG. The syllabus said it was due tomorrow, but the sheet handed out in class, which basically reproduced the syllabus says it's due at the end of the month (way way down hidden on that piece of paper mind you). PSA: read all papers handed out in class all the way even if they are 99.9% reproductions of everything you've see before on the syllabus. Off to bed for me!

Pro-Mubarak protesters are violently clashing with the anti-government protesters. Protests have been largely peaceful until now. Intl media has been shown these pro-Mubarak protesters are carrying security forces IDs, yet state media is claiming they are the Muslim brotherhood.

So it's official, I'm studying in Jordan this summer (with some time in Israel). Have totally neglected Facebook in lieu of planning for the trip. People here have probably thought I've died off... I owe so many messages!

Some days you just have those moments where God answers a prayer, and you were agonizing over it for a long time, and for nothing... Instead of waiting and trusting, you were getting all worked up over something you couldn't change. I just had one of those times when God says: "You should have listened when I said: 'do not be anxious about anything...'"

The time is upon us. My mother has asked me to teach her how to use an iPhone, Facebook, and how to knit.

The weekend that Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford and six other civilians were gunned down, thousands of Egyptian Muslims attended mass and formed a human shield around Orthodox Coptic Christians celebrating Christmas in Egypt following the New Year’s Eve bombing in which 25 innocent civilians died and over 80 were injured. Their slogan: “we either live together or we die together”.

This sore throat has transitioned into being sore on one side and hurting my ear, with no other symptoms. >_> I'm not sure what to make of it.

This status is dedicated to my very dear friend Monica Welch so she won't feel jealous of Facebook any more.

We have it so easy here. My generation has not had to fight for our rights and our democracy in the streets like people around the globe have. I'm proud to be an American, but sometimes I can get really annoyed at our navel-gazing when people overseas are fighting for their lives and freedom.

Weather says it's 15 degrees. I call BS. Look down below, the fine print says: feels like 1 degree. Damn straight it does!

When I booked tickets home I chose a three plane jump to Medford because it was cheaper. This was months ago. Today the gate is listed in c concourse. Go there, gate is changed to d concourse. Walk all the way down there. Start to board the plane when I'm told I'm not on the passenger manifest. WTF. They switched me to a direct flight without ever saying anything. This flight is in E concourse.

You know, I wish I could find a Christian woman's blog that was written by someone that was NOT a mother/homeschooler/homemaker. If that's what you are, good for you and your blog-audience, but it'd be nice to read a Christian perspective from a woman without kids and making a career for herself.
