That and there is a lot going on. I’ve decided that writing my thoughts out might actually help me put them in some kind of order in my head. Or not…seeing as my figurative filing cabinets have been smashed to bits with baseball bats by the “workers” in my head. No seriously. I’m a scatterbrain. It’s fun. I think that would help explain my easily amused-ness.
ANYWAY! Here it is. I’m actually gonna try to keep this one up. I tried the blogging thing once before when I was feeling all emo and depressed…that one didn’t take off. Probably because I did it out of dramatic desperation after a bad day. So here’s my first blog entry:
Hi! I’m Faith…in case you didn’t already know that. I figure the whole “introduction entry” is kinda the norm, so I’ll tell you a little about me. I’m 18 (19 in a week!) and am in my second year at the University of Arkansas. Honestly, last year was a little rough for me both academically and socially. It just really wasn't a good year, but this year looks a whole lot better already and it’s only the second week. I’m actually joining the band sorority Tau Beta Sigma tonight. Yeah, yeah, I know what you’re thinking… “What?! SORORITY?! You heathen sinner!” Yeah, no. That’s what I always thought about sororities too. And yeah, some of them are like that, but Tau Beta Sigma is the band service sorority…which brings me to my next little tidbit.
I’m a band geek. Have been foooor… geez like 9 years now. Holy cow. I play the alto sax and have been in marching bands, concert bands, jazz bands, and just about everything else you can tie to band. I’ve always told people that I really don’t know what I’d do with my time without band…and believe me, I would have a LOT more free time. Heck, it would probably be easier to find a job if I wasn’t in band.
Speaking of jobs, I want to be a nurse after I graduate…which means I should probably get my act together and get my grades up so I can get into nursing school. I hope to eventually be a CRNA (the dude that gives you medicine…aka anesthesia). To do that, I’d have to have OR or ER experience though…preferably OR in my case. I don’t wanna deal with whiney kids who scraped their knees. Not that I don’t love kids, I just wouldn’t be good at it. The kid would be crying and I, being the wonderful person I am, would just say, “Suck it up, you’re fine.” Which might get me in trouble.
Oh, and despite my gruff talk, I’m actually a pretty nice person. :3 I like people. And I love to hear myself talk, which is probably why this is so long.
Also, I’m a Christian. No…I’m not a HELLFIRE AND BRIMSTONE type Christian (though I do believe in the consequences of Hell). That being said, I’m not a fluffy feel good Christian either. I listen to metal, I watch rated-R movies, and I know what goes on in the world. I’m not sheltered, and I refuse to be sheltered. It’s good to know the kinds of things that happen. However, I also think it’s important to guard your heart against the things that go on in the world. It’s unnecessary to be afraid of the world, but that doesn’t mean I have to participate in everything that happens. I’m not a college partier; I don’t drink, I don’t do drugs, I don’t haze…not cool. Heck, I’m not even much of a dancer, but that’s by personal choice rather than conviction. XD Anyway, I believe in a relationship with Jesus Christ. I don’t care what kind of church you go to…your worship services can be strictly hymns, or the whole house could be rocking. If you’re worshiping the same Jesus, then it doesn’t really matter. Do your thing. I also think the whole division of denominations thing is kinda dumb and pointless. Get over your petty arguments… bickering amongst yourselves is doing absolutely nothing for the Kingdom of God. End rant.
So yeah…that’s me in a nutshell. Well, not really…there’s actually a little more to me than sarcasm, band, and school. Whiiiich…I’m sure you’ll figure out if I do actually manage to keep up this blog.
I need a life. v_v
