Go Cavaliers!

So far I love all of my classes. (: 099 Math is ultra easy, but that is nothing new. 097 was easy as crap as well. Walk, Jog and Run will be fun cause I have a couple friends in that class, the teacher is super funny and too chill, and I'm excited to get in shape! 1102 English with Gassel is going to be a blast as well, because she is one of my favorite teachers. I feel like I let her down last semester, so this semester I want to make an even better grade and turn in everything on time. Today I had my psychology class meet, and my teacher, Mr. Daniell, is probably one of the funniest teacher's I've ever had since Mr. Matheny. He was a Vietnam vet., 63 years old, and he is a minister, who 'is not religious'. This was terribly humorous, so I shall talk about it on this entry!
So a classmate asked him why he was cursing (saying 'everyone say, hell yeah!' and 'damn!') but was still a minister. And he answered her with saying something along the lines of "Well... I'm not religious. I am just like you. I believe strongly in my faith, and I ain't afraid to share it. I won't lie to you saying I read the Bible every day for 5 hours straight, cause that just ain't true and you're lying if you say so! But I believe strongly in my faith."
I love that. I hate ministers, preachers, whatever you are, who do nothing but quote the Bible. God gave us brains to think! Use them! He was very chill, Mr. Daniell. He was telling us of his son who has been in jail a couple times, blah blah... its nice to know that people who also follow the Lord do not have the picture-perfect lives. I always feel like preachers are degrading and judging me by what I've been through in my life, but it was nice to see that he teaches others about God and his life isn't so perfect. That's what makes things good, unique: the imperfection of it all.
Seriously, why preach "do not judge others" when you do the same? Its sad.
I look forward to his class, I know I will learn a lot from him! And get a good laugh at the same time!
So this semester, I am going to promise myself a couple things:
1 - study! Seriously Lindsey, STUDY.
2 - loose 30 lbs. (or at least get in shape)
3 - don't loose contact with God.
4 - appreciate life for what it is and the little surprises that come with it.
5 - stay on top of your school work!
6 - be Hibachi's best employee - it'll look good on future resumes.
7 - love everybody!
8 - guard your heart with your life. it's too precious to break again.
9 - income tax money: put half in savings. the other half, put towards new paint job for Car, pay off car bills for dad (thanks for being so lenient.) other fourth, put in checking account.
10 - just enjoy every day, because you'll never have it again!

Okay. I plan to keep these promises to myself! (: I'm so excited for this semester! It's going to be so much fun. Thank you God for my great classes and great teachers!
love, me.
