Christmas 2

I suppose every title for my blog will be titled Christmas. I don't know what it is about this year that's so different. I'm away from home, like I've already expressed, and am missing the decorating and such but I feel so happy in spite of that. Finals are next week and you'd think I would be stressing, but, truthfully, I'm not.

I have my headphones in and have my computer tuned to NOW 97.5 philly which is solely Christmas music, one right after the other. I'm in such a great mood. Forget the unanticipated cold. It's a glorious gloomy day in good ol' Nashville. Christmas is in like what? 3 weeks? I'm so stoked!

Every week or so, I try to write a new Bible verse on our mirror, just to remind the girls, even if tests and stuff have them bogged down, Jesus is still with them. Sort of like a weekly encouragement thing they can wake up to every morning. So, this week, and the rest of the time we're in college before Christmas I'm going to write Christmas inspired verses. This week's verse is appropriately taken from Isaiah 9:6.

"For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be placed on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

Just writing that verse gives me chills! That simple verse has so much power and hope it's wonderful! This verse immediately put me in a great mood. Now, I have Christmas music. Before I wrote the verse I was a bit perplexed...

For those of you who don't know (aka my blog readers) there was this guy I met my first day of classes. His name is, well let's call him boy and he was in my English class. Well, after class he walked me to my dorm and asked if I wanted to get together with him. Now, at this point I didn't really know the HIM (the guy I like now) , so I didn't have feelings for him at all. So, boy and I exchanged numbers and went out for a drink at the cafe'. We talked a lot, got to know one another a bit better, and that was it. That night, he text me saying he was transfering out of my English class for another class that was more suitable to his time. After that, I never saw him on campus EVER. We text but when you don't have that human connection you sort of drift apart.

There's the background. Now, here's more recent events. He just text me last night and asked to get together for coffee. Mind you, I haven't text him or talked to him for like two months! He text me to wish me a good Thanksgiving but that was it. I am kinda curious as to why I don't see him on campus anymore, but as far as trying to start something again, I just don't think that's gonna be possible. I like HIM way too much to consider another guy. Boy is sweet and all but I think we can just be friends. I'm afraid I'm going to lead him on and then hurt him. I've been hurt before and I've been led on and it's just not cool. Believe me, even if you aren't really attached to the guy/girl, it still hurts terribly. I don't want to lead him on because I don't want to be that sort of person. I mean, I do like him, just not like I like HIM. Why must my life be so complex? Boy and I are going to have coffee Saturday at like 4:30...pray I don't do anything to mislead him with my beauty hahaha.

On a serious, light-hearted, wonderful, note.

My friends and I are going to Opryland to see the gorgeous Christmas displays they have. My one friend's dad worked in the Opryland hotel, so she knows the ins and outs of the Christmas decorations haha. Should be fun. I'm so stoked...such a northerner. haha. And then on Sunday, ash and I are going to go caroling. Hopefully HE will come along. How lovely would that be? Oh I'm excited!

Okay, ya'll. I have essays to write and math homework to do. Also, I have a feature article to write so I better get cracking on that. Have a great day, everybody!
