About Me

My life is not my own, for I belong to Christ.

It is because of God's grace and for His glory that I "live and move and have my being."

I am currently back in Indiana, studying English Education at Purdue University, far from the home I've come to know and love in Victoria, Australia

My family means the world to me.

Living in America and loving in Australia, I am blessed indeed. Complete Profile

      Reading Lamps Are Evil!
      That is what I have decided. Last night I was reading in bed. I finished my book and decided to stretch. My arm touched my reading lamp on my bed and it got burned very badly. My mom freaked out when I showed her my arm this morning. It is very gross looking. But it really doesn't hurt at all.

      Back to School!
      Don't you those dumb advertisements for "Back to School" sales??? I DO!!! But I am actually excited about going back to school! Wanna know why? Well, some of you already know. I am probably going to get to homeschool this year AND... do classes at 2nd RP! I am soooooooooo excited! It's not 100% sure...my parents said they're about 90% sure, actually. But I figure it would be ok to tell people now. Hehe, I already told a bunch of my friends, though. Hey, I was too excited to NOT tell people! :)

      Calvin!
      You all should have been there! It was great! Ted Donelly was our speaker. The theme was "Our Calling in Christ". It was all very, very good. Pastor Long preached one night about "Called to Serve With Confidence". It was...well it was great. It's kind of hard to describe unless you were there. But I hope you all come in four years! Oh and don't forget there's always Covfamikoi next year! At Calvin there was a Genesis Quiz Bowl. There were 15 teams in all including 3 teams from Southside -The other 23, Adam's Rib, and The Five Five Fat Cows. The Other 23, sadly, lost after one round. Our team - Adam's Rib - made it to the final four and lost against the team that our Five Fine Fat Cows won to. The guys came home with a trophy, and we came home with more knowledge than we had before we began. A lot of the questions weren't very good at all and the lady who judged was way too nice. But I think we all had a good time and learned a lot. Another highlight was that Josh Hart - from Southside, too - won the memory verse thing in the juniors class! All in all, Southside was very well represented there. I think there were about 90 or our members. We played "I've Never", "Psychiatrist", and "Mafia" WAY too much, but still had fun every time we did. Also, we spent many nights staying up late making prank calls. (hehe) Then had to get up early to eat breakfast and go to classes and everything. But even though I was totally exhausted when I got back, I am glad I went.

      Oh yeah! The Bike trip!
      I think we rode 290-300 miles in all! It was pretty hard, and I'm not sure I would want to do it again. But, I am glad I made it without giving up. There were approximately 1,203,486 hills, 4,208 gallons of water used, 178 degree(averaged) days, and 236 mile an hour winds. You all should have come, it was great! ;)
