~Art~


These are some art pieces I have painted from "Introduction to Fine art" classes with Mrs. Kay Gartland. The one on the left was done with her guidance in class, the other was a homework assignment of a still-life. Both are done with watercolor (my favorite!).

She is a wonderful teacher, artist, and such a godly woman.










Mrs. Gartland has taught me so much in the short time I have been privileged to be in her class.

Easter Morn


He gave His life for us to have eternal life with Him.

"(Matthew 28:2) And Behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from Heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it........(v.5) And the angel answered and said unto the woman, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which as crucified. (v.6) He is not here: for HE IS RISEN...."

We got back from Bob Jones Friday night around midnight. We had a real nice time.

The first day we arrived, we unpacked at the dorms, then met up with some friends from extension. I can't remember if we visited any classes Wednesday. That night, I met the girls in my dorm at prayer group. They didn't go to bed until 12:00am, and they woke up at 5:30am, so obviously I didn't get much sleep that night lol.

Thursday, Brooke picked out most of the classes for us to visit. Most of them I had a hard time staying awake (like one about how to arrange furniture). She took me to a lot of "women's ministries" classes.
Some classes were in the Aluminum building......oh wait I meant Alumni building......lol.
That's what Brooke called it at first LOL.... Jeremy and I never let her hear the end of it.

The few classes I wanted to visit, didn't really work out. Like one of them, the students were taking a test, so we ended up in a French class. But I did enjoy that since I am taking French 1.
You might be surprised to find out we played a lot of UNO at BJ with Jeremy in between classes to kill time. It was funny, definitely a highlight of the trip. We also played scategories, that was also fun.

Thursday night, BJU had stuff planned for the visiting High Schoolers. A seminar about "How to survive college life", and a pizza party. After the pizza party we went to play more uno instead of flag football. Then, we saw a comedy play put on by the admission counselors. It wasn't that funny to me lol.
I don't know what we would have done without Jeremy. He was our tour guide, we could have been walking in circles for hours if he wasn't there lol. He would quiz us about where we were, and half the time we didn't know LOL. So Thanks Jeremy!

Friday, we went to classes almost all day. But I had to go back to the dorms to take a nap, I was SO tired! We played uno again between classes. Later on we met Mrs. Gillis and put our stuff in her car....that was about 6:00pm.
That night we had two hours to play games before the basketball game (8:00pm). The place where we would play games (Social Parlor) said "no food or drinks" so I had to drink my bottle of Mountain Dew right before we went inside. I told Jeremy, "I just drank a 2 liter bottle of Mountain Dew". LOL it was actually only 16 ounces, so I was way off.
I was laughing uncontrollably, and so was Jeremy and Brooke. We had fun LoL. Good Times.

After watching some of the basketball game, we headed home at about 9:45pm..... I think. I couldn't sleep even when I tried, the Mountain Dew wouldn't let me! I was extremely tired though. I went to bed at 1am when we got home.

I love it how Bob Jones University puts God first in everything they do. I believe it's their #1 priority for the students to grow spiritually during their college years. If I ever go to a college away from home, it will be Bob Jones University.

Bob Jones University: Opportunity Days

Well, I'm headed off to college. For three days.....
Bob Jones University in South Carolina is having "Opportunity Days" for high schoolers to tour and visit campus. This is actually my second visit to BJU.

Please pray we'll have a safe trip there and back.

Shopping is harder than some people think. And it really amazes me how it eats up the time. Brooke and I went shopping today.....from 11:00am to about 6:00pm. I know it sounds crazy! And you will be shocked to know the only thing I bought was one skirt. ONE skirt! It was only like 7.99 from Ross. It's funny how I love shopping, but hate spending the money. When I was at Ross, I had like 3 items actually checked out, but while she was putting my things in a bag I changed my mind. Yes, it's embarrassing but I can't stand to spend much at one store. And like they say, money doesn't grow on trees (but money is paper and paper is made from trees, right?).
