It was great getting to go home for a few days, but now I am back in Seneca, back to the college life. It is still pretty quite because there are not too many students here. For the girls it is just Dani Felicia and I, an for he guys there is Zachary, and kind of Bro. Paul. Everyone else is suppose to be back tomorrow by 9.
It was great being home though. I got to go to a friend of the families house with my mom on Saturday. The family played quite a few games and myself and Zaida won the egg toss (Zaida is only like 5 or 6 years old, but our egg was the last one standing.. it was great.) I of course went to church on Sunday then we had Easter dinner at my Aunt's like we always do. It was nice seeing the family and meeting my cousins David and Sammy's girlfriends for the first time.
I also babysat the Royalty kids, and this time Mrs. Royalty trusted me with watching Alayana (I was so excited) she is so cute and I could hardly put her down. =]
Now back to staying up late doing last minute homework, working around 20 hours a week, avoiding certain roommates who gab too much, and trying to survive helper's schedule (which really isn't bad, I like my helper schedule this semester.)
But I do have to tell this one story before I go. Nathan Royalty (who is I wanna say four years old) came up to me Sunday night (my church is starting the Spring push and we have a goal of how much tracts are to be passed out) and he handed me a tract and said "Would you like one Miss Clara?" I then said to him "Nazey, I think you are suppose to give those to people who don't already have them." to which he replied, "My daddy said to give them to people who don't go to church." =] I laughed and then of course explained to him that I am in college, but still go to church. I love that kid!! I love all of them!!!
Gotta go get ready for church now.. back to Thursday night services. =]

For Renee!
Renee, I miss you soooo much, and you can imagine my surprise (okay, more so blondness) in while sitting here in the computer lab with my friend Dani, that I see that I have a follower. I was sooo excited, but new it had to be you. haha. But I was very excited even yet! So, you may have been following my blog for awhile, but it is news to me. =] (Once a blond always a blond, right?) I promise to not be so busy anymore and to update more often! =] Tell Kelly I say hi, and your mom and dad of course. Can't wait to see yall for Easter!
Cupcake Caper!
Things here have been kinda crazy. But I am going to talk about the good, not the bad. =]
Last night we had a play here. It was a church ride play and the chapel was pretty full. It was suppose to be a murder mystery but the script Mrs. Posey got for that was not very decent, so it switched to the cupcake caper. It was a really good play, and went over well. There were six of us in it (P. Jon was the dad, Mrs. B was the mom, Logan, Emily and Seth were the children -played by Oleg, Jessara and bro. Matt- and I was Jessis, Logan's girlfriend) someone stole the engagement ring that Logan bought for me and dad had to figure out who it was... it was really neat, and all though nervous at first, it went well. I will post some pictures of it later.
Spring Break starts next Friday and I am riding most of the way with Heather Slaughenhopt. I am so excited, i get to go home for five days, and I cannot wait. My mom already has my Saturday planned for me. It is going to be great!
Ensemble is starting again. Our first chruch is this Wednesdya, but I cannot go because I have to work, but will be switching from Wednesdays to Saturdays so that I can go on the rest.
That is about all fro now. Can't wait for bus tomorrow!!!!!!!! I love those kids! (I cannot wait to see my bus kids back home!!)

Wal Mart update
This week has been very confusing. Everyone arguing and bad attitudes flying, so I will just update on my Wal Mart job. I got my 90 day review... it was all good. Praise the Lord. The manager said that everyone loves me and that customer service has even gone up.. I assured her that, that was not me, but she insisted that it was... they probably ahve to say that. lol. But, she said they are going to give me more responsibilities and that if I continue the way I am that in nine months when I get my next review it is going to be great, and my raise will be as well. YAY! She also asked if there is any other department that I wanna work in. I told her photo lab would be nice and she said that she would talk to the department manager and see if they needed anyone else. YAY! I was so excited. So praise the Lord, at least one thing is going right.
I am very tired though, and am putting off going to my mom do to an unhappy and too emotional roommate but I guess if I go straight to bed then I do not have to talk to her. I miss everyone very much, and cannot wait to see everyone again!

Great Night at Work.
Work went great tonight. Well, to back up for a moment today was the first day back to classes. I have two Tuesday classes, which does not seem like much, but let me describe my day to you. One I help in Mrs. Knight's class every day this week from 12:30 to 3 when the kids are dismissed. But, I woke up at 7 this morning, go ready for the day, went to do my dorm duties, kitchen was TRASHED and took me almost a full hour to clean, then had orientation (in place of my first class) then chapel (Pause: Bro. Kerlin preached in chapel today. Everything he spoke on was just what I needed... waiting for the right one; being trustworthy; guarding your heart; not trusting you heart at the same time; etc... it was, well a great first chapel service of the semester) then I had Gospel of John I which Pastor Jon teaches. Then I had Teaching Reading (which is normally my frst class but was postponed because of orientation) so I was late for helper schedule. I dismissed the kids from school at 2:35, ran to my room got dressed for work, left for work because Mrs. B was already waiting for me ad had literally no time to think during all of this. I loved it. (Oh, and how I said I give the guys until Friday before their drama starts up... negative... already started.. last night. Come on guys, at least act like adults!)
Work was amazing. Fabrics and crafts was th busies it has been in the past two months. An old lady did yell at me, but no biggy there. I was literally cutting fabric for my first two hours straight. But then I went to people greet for an hour. Everyone was super super super nice today. I talked to so many people that I normally don't carry conversations with and even met a couple new people. It was great! If tomorrow goes half as good, I will be overwhelmed with excitement. =] =]
I am now going to help Schwartzie with homework, and give Lori my notes from class. Until next time!!!! Miss you all!

Back to Normal (Well as normal as it gets)
Everyone is now back from vacation. Except for Jonathan and Christian, who commute on weekends so do not need to be back until today. They decided to keep us girls in two rooms, which I think was a great decision. So my roomies this semester are.. Lori Race (her sister Susan was my roomie last semester, but graduated) and still Schwartzie. I love her so much and am so glad that she is here this year.. trust me, it would have been wayyyyy difficult without her. Classes start tomorrow, and the feeling of nothing had changed is great. Everyone came back and we just picked up were we left off. Most drama has been forgotten and so far everyone is getting along.. so far! It will change, I give it until Friday, by then the guys would have almost killed each other and us girls will be laughing at how immature they are while some of us avoid each other to refrain from getting in the same situation the guys get themselves in. Same ol' same.
I am in the computer lab experiencing once again an almost empty Faith Baptist facility. Today there is no school so Pastor Jon took the teens and college students on an ice skating activity in Meadville. They will not return until about 5 or 5:30, and yours truly has to be at work at 4. =] But the Kerlin's also work at four, which makes me feel better, and Lori is around here somewher. She is my roommate but I have not seen her since about 7 this morning when she woke me up while she was getting ready. She never seems to be around much, which is wierd, because there are not many places to hide out around here. Hmmmm.. maybe she has found all the good spots!
I am, once again, setting my blog to private. I am not having a problem with it, just well, I'd rather know who is viewing it rather than having no idea. =] Okay, and there is one guy here at school who gives me the heeby geeby's (is that spelled right? Hmmm, no idea) and he has recently discovered my blog. Sure, I haven't updated much later, but I really am going to from now on. ;)
Bus went great yesterday, we had 41 riders.. highest amount since I've been back this school year... Praise the Lord! Two girls came forward for salvation, and I got to talk to both of them. They both accepted Christ as their Savior, and it was just an awesome day. I was so excited.
That is all for now. I mist go do laundry and get ready for work! Fun, fun, fun!! =]

MUCH MUCH MUCH overdue update
Yesterday was the first day of our Christmas break, and do you wanna know where I am? Still at college. Why? Because I have a new job at Wal Mart (which I love) and I have to work most of break. I do get to go home for five days though, which is nice, sad, but nice. LOTS has gone on in the past well little over two months since I posted last, so much that I cannot even begin to remember it all. I somewhat purposely gave my blog a break just so I did not get too caught up in it, but also have been very busy. But, now I have some free time, and who knows when I will post again.
This semester is over though. I believe I passed all my finals, and have no doubts that I passed all my classes. (Now that I said that, I will flunk one, lol.) Anywho, I am going to be taking 19 credits next semester, that includes one voice class from Mr. Ives,I am really looking forward to that. =]
I am the only college student that did not go home this break. It has been hard staying in the dorm by myself. I have come to the conclusion that I am just terrified of being alone, and that is exactly what I am here. it seems wierd, but so true. It is only when I am alone that I started getting worried and scared, so me being alone, is not good. lol. Mrs. Knight invited me over earlier and I got to watch a movie there, then we went to the mall, and then I made dinner for the Propst and Speer kids (plus I made my mama's famous chocolate pudding, graham cracker, banana cake -minus the banana's.. I didnt have any - for desert and five of the six of them wantedn seconds, needless to say, it is all gone now, lol) but it is nights that are the worse. I know there are so many people on the same property as I am, but I still have the hole upstairs, and really this entire side of the building to myself. I felt like such a little girl last night because I left the light in one of the closets on. However, it seems as though every single verse that I have read in my devotions has applied to just about every feeling I have had the past couple days. Sad, lonely, tired, confused, frustrated, and even overjoyed. (Overjoyed about what? First, all the millions of blessings the Lord has given me this semester, and through out my entire life; second, finals are over; third, that I do get to go home for Christmas, even if it isn't as long as everyone else gets to be home.) I made a new rule for myself, that if ever I get sad or discouraged, I have to start naming all the blessings that I have been given from God, and dwell on those, instead of my discouragement. That has helped a lot. Nights are still bad (which it is night now, that is why I am on here), but I think it will get better.
"Schwartzie" (Heather Schwartz) has been nothing but a blessing to me though. She left me lots of notes around the room and kitchen, plus lots of food, lol, and has assured me that God is going to get me through this next month and that I will come out of it more mature. =] I love her, she also told me to sleep with one of my many stuffed animals.. lol, she doesn't even know the half of how many I have. ;) but she thinks that will make me feel better. So I am going to try it tonight.
I got to go visiting with Bro. Matt and Kristen this morning though. That was a lot of fun. It is not the bus route that I help out on, but I still know most of those kids and love em just as much. (I love bus kids... they're the greatest!!!) I am also excited that even though I am not home, my bus route here is just as much home to me as my actual home is. So Sundays will be the highlights of my weeks here by myself, plus I will hopefully be going to the Schwartz's house one of these weekends, and Ashley might come visit me as well, we will see I guess. And I have Bethy here, and I absolutely love her. She is the greatest!
The B's (Bernards) are my adopted family this school year though, and I absolutely love them. Mrs. B is always taking me to work and picking me up, and get this... there was this "Hoops and YoYo" mug from Hallmark that I really wanted, adn they got it for me for Christmas(thanks Kristen.. the most amazing adopted sister ever. hehe) plus LOTS of chocolate.. which I still have not finished (got it like two weeks ago) and I gave quite a bit away while teaching/sitting in on the kindergarten and first grade class. Plus, Schwartzie also had a couple pieces, I think.. she's probably the only other person I offered them too. hehe. Shhhhh!
Well, it is almost ten on Saturady night and since I have gotten very little sleep this week I think I will go to bed. (And if I am sleeping I cannot possibly think about being all alone over here.. hehe.) Although I did have a really wierd dream last night... and no Schwatzie I did not eat popcorn before bed this time... but I won't get into that, lets just say that Wal Mart loved me and did not want me to go home at all.. like ever. lol. Anywho, gonna finish my conversation with Schwartzie then off to bed. Any calls/emails at this time would be greatly appreciated. lol. If I am not busy! Miss you all, and cannot wait to see those of you who I am going to see next week. (Oh, by the way, I am coming home Wednesday =] )
And I am 100% okay with staying here if that means I get to keep my job at Wal Mart. I really do love it, and if I am not one of the ones to go after Christmas is over then I will be quiting Wendy's, so pray I get to keep this job, I really, really like it. Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two posts in one day... WOW!
This just does not happen anymore, but I am sitting here in the computer lab (Oleg has my computer... whatever he wanted to do he could not do on the computers in the lab for some reason) anyway, in the words of Mrs. Royalty "I digress"! I love her so much! But I am now just waiting for dating hours that way I can actually talk to Oleg and see what he is doing to my computer. lol, he is like a genius though, so i am sure it is nothing bad.. I hope. "I digress" once again. I miss so many people from back home. Looking at the Royalty blog though just reminded me of how much I miss them. This is going to seem really sad (on my part) but I even have a picture (as the screen saver on my computer) of Adelyn "Baby Chunk" and Brynna. They are not Royalty's, but i miss them soo much too. And just about every picture that I have of the Royalty's.. quite a few, has already had its fair share of being my screen saver. lol. But I really do miss them, and am hoping that they are still able to come up Monday of College Days.. which is a little over a week away! CRAZINESS!!! But the shirts this year are AWESOME!!!!!!!! lime green.. yes lime green! with blue print... very nice, and bright and bubbly.
But, back to the point of this post, not that there is one, but we will say there is. I am really looking forward to tomorrow. Sunday's just have a way of chasing all my worries and cares away. Nothing can hinder me on Sunday, and no one. It is the one day of the week that I get to sit and talk with the bus kids and see what is going on with them, the one day that I get to with so many of the church family, the one day were people put pettiness and selfishness aside and just sit and listen to the preaching of the Word of God. I know that not everyone forgets all pettiness and selfishness, but in my world, they do. So we will just go with that. Sunday is the perfect day though. The Lord's day. And it would do us all well to remember that.
I guess that is all for now. 15 minutes and then I can join the "dating" scene.. no I am not dating, and yes I am perfectly content with that... but it is still fun getting together with everyone and talking and playing games. We do have three dating couples this semester though.. if you count Felicia and Mike.. I don't think they even know if they are dating.. but they are! But that is two more than we had last semester...
Anywho, that really is all for now. Miss you all (unless you are at Faith right now and are reading this.. I see you all the time, so I don't miss you.. lol. just kidding. ) But I do miss everyone from back home!!!!!!! I will see you at Thanksgiving!!!! =]

Overdue Update
I have not posted in awhile, but I have so much going on, so I thought I would attempt to remember all of it now. First, PRAISE THE LORD I got a job. Wendy's.. I have not started yet, but soon.
Well I have been to applefest... an annual festival type thing in Franklin that takes hours to walk through and is very crowded... I went two separate days though, and it was crazy both. But to start with the first day... Mr. and Mrs. Wilsom took Dani and I, and we got LOTS of books. I spent two dollars on seven books.... and one of the dollars was a donation that I gave. They were all what I call "good" books (a certain college student of the male gender asked me if they were romance novels...no they were not, no worries, I don't read that junk.. no offense if you do! Anyway, the next day I got 6 or 7 more for FREE! Wow How. I was loving it... still all good books, of course. One book that I am very excited about is one by John R. Rice, I believe it is entitled "We Can Have Revival Now", something among those lines. The second day though Dani, Susan and I went with Jenn. That was fun, but we got a flat tire on the way back! Oops! We made it to the school safely though, so all was well.
One of the bus kids on my route got saved last Sunday... very exciting, very sweet girl who LOVES to talk.. trust me! But that was very exciting. We are starting the fall push this Sunday (tomorrow) and on one Sunday I am coming to church and junior church was Florence Nightingale... OH MY!!!!! I have to find an outfit that is Florence Nightingaleish and talk to the whole church as Florence Nightingale plus all the bus kids who are in junior church. But I'm excited. Just nervous about the costume part of it.
This week was a long, and tiresome one. Things are looking better but something went wrong everyday... no joke! I am reading tthrough Job in my devotions and the other day I was just finding verse after verse that encouraged me so I ended up reading 5 chapters. Well one verse that I literally laughed at when I read, because it made me think of me was, Job 3:19 "He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.". It instantly made me think of my bad week and how Sunday was coming, and Sunday's are never bad days.... bus kids, church, junior church, primary church, etc, etc, etc. Sunday's are always just full of encouragement, no matter how hard the devil tries to destroy my spirit on Sunday's I am just always happy and ready for a new week. It is hard sometimes being away from home because I do not tell anyone here what is wrong when something is wrong, and I also don't wanna call anyone back home and gripe to them, so I just let it sink in, and hope that all my troubles just kind of go away. Which they have... so no worries. Plus, another encouragement to me was the fact that I received an email from Pastor Royalty, now the internet here has not been working for about a week, and alittle over a week ago I emailed Pastor telling him of my new job. I was not able to check my email all week but Thursday night when I checked it (in the middle of my horribly bad week) there was a email from Pastor Royalty. It was actually sent on the previous Saturday so had the internet been up and running and if I had checked it earlier than that, then it would not have been there to cheer me up when I was a little down.
Classes have been going good. I got an 88 on my first Pastor Setser quiz, which is HORRIBLE!!!! and I was very unhappy with myself.. but will do better. The quizes in Pastor Schwartz's class have been a little challenging and I need to do better on them, but am trusting that I will!
Tomorrow for the first Sunday of fall push we are having carnival day. Dani and I were put in charge of one game, so I went and got the stuff for the game and the candy today. I am looking forward to it, and the amount of kids that we will have on the bus!!!!! =]
I guess that is all for now... oh I have devotions this Monday night with the dorm girls plus Mrs. Knight and Mrs. Propst.. I am, surprisingly, not nervous yet, but probably will be once Monday comes around. We will see!!!!

Rice, I believe it is entitled "We Can Have Revival Now", something among those lines. The second day though Dani, Susan and I went with Jenn. That was fun, but we got a flat tire on the way back! Oops! We made it to the school safely though, so all was well.
One of the bus kids on my route got saved last Sunday... very exciting, very sweet girl who LOVES to talk.. trust me! But that was very exciting. We are starting the fall push this Sunday (tomorrow) and on one Sunday I am coming to church and junior church was Florence Nightingale... OH MY!!!!! I have to find an outfit that is Florence Nightingaleish and talk to the whole church as Florence Nightingale plus all the bus kids who are in junior church. But I'm excited. Just nervous about the costume part of it.
This week was a long, and tiresome one. Things are looking better but something went wrong everyday... no joke! I am reading tthrough Job in my devotions and the other day I was just finding verse after verse that encouraged me so I ended up reading 5 chapters. Well one verse that I literally laughed at when I read, because it made me think of me was, Job 3:19 "He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.". It instantly made me think of my bad week and how Sunday was coming, and Sunday's are never bad days.... bus kids, church, junior church, primary church, etc, etc, etc. Sunday's are always just full of encouragement, no matter how hard the devil tries to destroy my spirit on Sunday's I am just always happy and ready for a new week. It is hard sometimes being away from home because I do not tell anyone here what is wrong when something is wrong, and I also don't wanna call anyone back home and gripe to them, so I just let it sink in, and hope that all my troubles just kind of go away. Which they have... so no worries. Plus, another encouragement to me was the fact that I received an email from Pastor Royalty, now the internet here has not been working for about a week, and alittle over a week ago I emailed Pastor telling him of my new job. I was not able to check my email all week but Thursday night when I checked it (in the middle of my horribly bad week) there was a email from Pastor Royalty. It was actually sent on the previous Saturday so had the internet been up and running and if I had checked it earlier than that, then it would not have been there to cheer me up when I was a little down.
Classes have been going good. I got an 88 on my first Pastor Setser quiz, which is HORRIBLE!!!! and I was very unhappy with myself.. but will do better. The quizes in Pastor Schwartz's class have been a little challenging and I need to do better on them, but am trusting that I will!
Tomorrow for the first Sunday of fall push we are having carnival day. Dani and I were put in charge of one game, so I went and got the stuff for the game and the candy today. I am looking forward to it, and the amount of kids that we will have on the bus!!!!! =]
I guess that is all for now... oh I have devotions this Monday night with the dorm girls plus Mrs. Knight and Mrs. Propst.. I am, surprisingly, not nervous yet, but probably will be once Monday comes around. We will see!!!!

Home Again!
So I am back home until Sunday afternoon!!! YAY!
My mom and sister came to pick me up yesterday after helper's schedule... well first, lets start at the beginning of my VERY BUSY morning!
I was thinking that my mom and my brother were going to pick me up at like 4 or 5, however my sister decided to skip her last class at YSU to come with my mom to pick me up. I had to cram a lot into my morning. I needed to do my dorm duty, clean up all my stuff, clean the prophet's chamber for when the Ive's come (on Saturday) pack, and all before 12:45 when I had helper schedule. I told my mom and sister that the soonest I could get out of helper schedule was 2:30, so they made plans to be at my school at 2:30... CRAZINESS!!!!
So, I started with cleaning my room then doing my dorm duty, then I went downstairs at about 9:50 to eat something real quick (which didn't happen because the kitchen was left dirty and Dani was in helper's schedule adn it was her dorm duty so I knew she would not be able to go re-clean it, so I did the dishes so she didn't get demerits..... which was after Jenn had cleaned off the stove, someone left it very messy after Danielle had already cleaned it) Anywho, so I then went to the prophet's chamber. While cleaning in there Mrs. Williams told me that Mrs. Ives likes it very very clean, so what I thought was only going to take about an hour, took almost two because I wanted to make sure it was nice. In the middle of cleaning Danielle comes and gets me to tell me that Mrs. Knight would like me to come and see what she is doing for the kindergarten's art, because that is what I was going to be doin for first grade. So, knowing that I needed to see what I was doing, I went to her class, watched/helped the art project and then went back to finish cleaning. I finished just in time to eat lunch, spend 10 minutes packing and then get to helper's schedule. TIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I was!
So I had helper's schedule, I dismissed them at 2:30 went upstairs to get my suitcase when my sister sent me a text saying they were here. So I went downstairs (with my buddy "Schwartz" and then I left for home (actualy Arby's.... but then home).
I was extremely tired, but went outside and played with the neighbor girls until about 7:30ish then my mom and I went to Wal Mart.. Fun!
Now, for the rest of my weekend..... tonight (probably between 5 or 6, that is the norm) I will be babysitting for Pastor Joel and Mrs. Royalty. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!! THen tomorrow is my cousin Samantha's wedding, then Sunday is bus/church, then when I get home from bus I will be leaving to go back to Faith!!!! I am tired just thinking about it. And I am in nursery Sunday night at Faith. lol. =] But with Susan, I love Susan. I am going to be so sad next semester when she is gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =[ DON'T LEAVE ME SUSAN, I NEED YOU!
Anywho, my hair is up in a towel, I am going to go get myself as pretty as I get and then get something for the Royalty kids then see when I am watching them! =] I can't wait to see them and my buskids!!!!!!!!! =]
And with this I depart... it is good to be home, but I miss school too. lol.
Oh, and... the Kerlin's have been gone for a week now (went on vaca) Oleg also went home last weekend, and let me tell you, the weekend drug on like nothing else. School is not the same without the jokesters (Brad and Drew)or without Seb, and when over half the guys are gone in one weekend, there is not much entertainment.. that's why we got silly string though. HeHe HaHa!!!! Next weekend should be exciting though, since I don't believe anyone is going home who is not suppose to be! =]
