Im Still Alive....

Dont worry Im still here, its just that soooo many different, weird, and awesome things have been going on so far which has just had me on the go. I know I said that homecoming was over, but things I have done to compensate for all of the hard work were just awesome and thrilling...

Well, I skipped some classes that I should not have skipped during homecoming week because of how much homecoming demanded of me and I promised myself that the next I would not do that and go to every single one of my classes, which if you have read my past blog, Scheduling Frenzy, it is not an easy thing to do, but I succeeded and I knew it would pay off because I was going to something that weekend which would really be a reward for me for homecoming....

GOING TO THE FAIR!!!! The fair is not just a big thing for Texas, but it is also a huge deal for me and my family as well. According to my parents, I have not missed a fair date since I was born, so I have been to the fair 19 times, wow!!! When I heard that a huge group of my college friends like andy and johnny o had never gone to the fair, literally fell over dead.....nah, Im just messin with ya, but serioulsy....I was shocked and appalled at this, so I got Andy to arrange a day when we go to the fair. We went on the 14th and it could not have been a better day. We saw and did one of everything: we got food, rode rides, bought stuff, and rode the ferris wheel, which Texas is known for since it is the biggest in the nation. After, the fun the main event came along....Jars of Clay. They played at the fair and honestly this was the first concert I had ever been to and was ecstatic because it could not have been with a better band. These guys were awesome and really got the crowd riled up and it got me wound up as well. It was insanely awesome!!!....

After the fair the hardwork began because I then realized that I had two tests on Tuesday. Now, these werent just normal tests, these were tests in my hardest classes on the same day, damn!!! I told everyone from then on that after Tuesday the 16th, i would be good because I knew that day would live in infamy and it did. It started out fine, my first test, Astronomy, went better than i expected. The problem was history because all it comprised of was essay. I felt bad about it because after the test I heard how people had written ten pages worth and i only wrote four, but they were four good pages which is all that matters right? I hope so...What ended the stressful day was when my dvd remote died and it wasnt because of dead batteries, it just died, no more remote I had to get another one....

Which brings me to today. No, I am not writing this blog at Clark, I am currently at home writing this on the home computer. I am home because my family misses me, typical, so I decided to come home for a night, spend time with them, and head back the next morning. But I am not going home empty handed, which brings me back to the remote....I manipulated, wait "manipulated" is such a strong word...I asked my parents if they could get me a universal remote and they agreed. I cant go into long detail on how I got them to do it, but if you ask me in person I will tell you. So I am on my way to wal-mart to buy it, I buy it, leave, and just as I am getting on the intersection without a traffic light, a multitude of cars pass by and I am blinded by their lights since its dark, and it looks like they are all turning into wal-mart so I can go....as I go a car, out of nowhere, comes up and literally comes inches away from crashing into me on the driver's side. Needless to say, I could have died instantaneously. I felt so dumb and stupid for that. Sometimes I feel I just dont deserve God's love and He just gave me a huge, "WRONG!!!" by a near-death experience. Wow!!!

So by nearly dying of shock, cotton candy, concert-craze, 2 tests, and an actual near-death experience, I truly think its a miracle that Im still alive....
