I guess I'm a light sleeper, I don't know. But I go to bed around 11:30 almost every night. I really need to stay up just a half hour more because at 12am the RA's check every room to make sure everyone is in the dorm at curfew... and every single time that door opens at 12am, I wake up. It's 12:45 and I just picked up my computer so I could write it down. After all, my blog is more of a record of things that happen to me than a thought provoking blog.
Oh, and here's my tip for the day:
Don't lose your keys...
and
remember to take them with you everywhere
so you don't wake people up when you're banging on the door. That is all.
Good night
Becca :)
One sheep.... two sheep... three sheep... four sheep... five sheep... six sheep... seven sheep... eight sheep... Aw, who am I kidding? This didn't work when I was 5. Why would it work now?

The first 11 days... with a soap box.
Well, I made it through freshman orientation and my first week of classes! Wow! I have tons of thoughts on the whole experience so far. I will try to articulate them as best I can.
Things I have learned since arriving on campus:
- Starbucks raspberry smoothies make me sick. I didn't feel well the entire day.
- Math, that I thought would be my hardest class, is actually, my easiest class.
- Liberty is MUCH harder than HCC (I kinda all ready knew that before showing up, but now it's official)
- The Starbucks on campus participates in FRAPPY HOUR! So from 4-6 fraps are 15% off. If I want a frappichino, I get to
show great self restraint to wait until 4pm.
- I really don't like being away from Cody (No, that is not the only reason that I am bitter towards Liberty. I just really don't
want to be here.)
- I don't like having more than 30 people in a class. My Bible class has 550 people... Psych has 200... GNED had 250... I
mean, seriously?
Before I even showed up for Freshman orientation, I knew it was going to be a waste of time... It was. I walked in and for some reason, I was put in the international oriental group. So I was in there with a bunch of asians. I tried to make friends, but they didn't speak very good English and it was difficult. I still don't know how I ended up in the international group. MARYLAND IS ONLY 3.5 HOURS AWAY!
Class started on Monday. On MWF I have math from 8:50-9:40 and convo from 10-11... And that's it. It's such a nice day to catch up on all of my homework for Tuesday and Thursday. Tuesday and Thursday I have GNED 101 from 9:15-10:30... NT Bible from 10:50-12:05... Psychology 101 from 2-3:15... and Communications 101 from 3:35- 4:50.
I originally put my schedule like that because I wanted to be able to get out early one Friday's because my adopted brother Jon is marrying my friend Sara on a Saturday in September and I want to be able to leave as early on Friday as possible to get home. But now that my schedule is set up like this... I really like it! My TR go by so quickly and my MWF are filled with free time that this whole past week I have filled with homework/reading and some socializing :)
In convo on Friday, something happened that really made me angry and I'm still not over it. It's going to be my soap box for awhile. The speaker talked about dating. Okay, fine, whatever. That's not what bugged me. Let me try to quote him a few different times.
"How many of you guys see an attractive girl on campus that you would like to get to know better? Okay, all of you guys raised a hand... now, think of that girl... Is she dating anyone? WHO CARES! If the guy doesn't have the integrity to propose to that beautiful girl you have your eye on, they she's fair game."
Liberty has this saying "Ring before Spring" and it pretty much means, meet the love of your life, and ask her to marry you before spring. I hate that. Guys are forward enough as it is, they don't need someone telling them to basically rush into a relationship/marriage.
The speaker told us the story of how he met his face. She was dating another guy and he asked her out and went after her for 3 months until she agreed to go out with him. Now they're married. Okay, cool, it worked for him.
First of all, it is NEVER... EVER... EVER!!!! okay to try and steal a girl from her boyfriend. Never. Even if a guy tried that, I think the girl would automatically think that the guy wasn't respectful because of what he was trying to do.
He said that every guy that day should go ask out a girl. A girl yelled" whoohoo" from the audience and the guy put the camera on her and said "Which one of you guys is taking this girl out tonight?" A guy who was on the other side of the Vines center stood up and yelled "ME" The speaker paid for their first day because they were the first to obey what he said.
I'm sorry, but Liberty is a college and not a dating service.
I really... really... really don't like Liberty at the moment. I think that was the most repulsive thing that anyone could have said in convo (in case I didn't clarify is, convo is chapel.... DURING CHAPEL IS NOT THE TIME TO FIND A DATE.
I know I'm over reacting somewhat over the whole thing that happened at convo, but I feel like the entire thing was rude. I don't want to come back here next semester. I want my first semester to be my last one here.
I don't need a college for a dating service.

I've moved in!
I'm officially down at LU! It's great so far :)
My roommates are nice, and I have all of my things organized and put away... mostly.
Classes start next week, but I think they'll be fun. I hope.
I think the picture says it all....
I miss MD though. Especially Cody.

BEACH!
I'm currently at VA Beach with the family. It's pretty cool : )
On facebook, I was just tagged in a note. It was one of those, "If you're tagged, come up with 25 things about yourself." So, I decided to post it on here.
1. I love the beach. I love when the waves make me bob up and down. I love being able to lay in the sun. However, I don't like that I feel very sandy and dirty afterwords.
2. I use to hate sun dresses/cute skirts. Now I go out of my way to look for them so I can buy them.
3. I have an awesome teddy bear named uncle bear.
4. I got sunburned today. Especially my legs, back, and neck/chest.
5. My boyfriend Cody is the most amazing person in the entire world. He treats me like a queen and tells me every day how much I mean to him. I'm extremely lucky and he is most definitely my best guy friend in the entire world.
6. I have 5 silly bands on my left arm. They are the letters M M D J C. M is for Mae (my middle name), the other M is for Mom, D is for Dad, J is for my brother Jon, and C is, obviously, for Cody :)
7. On my right arm, I always have a hair tie, a bracelet that Becca C made me, and a bracelet that Cody made me : )
8. I'm currently sipping on some Dunkin' Donuts coffee even though it's past 11pm.
9. I think it would be really awesome to one day own a coffee shop.
10. I was homeschooled my entire life.
11. I've all ready run out of things to say.
12. Tomorrow I'm getting up at 8:30 and leaving at 9 for busch gardens.
13. Tuesday is my favorite day of the week! I love quality time with Cody day.
14. My hair is naturally straight, but I have a beach wave perm, so it's curly :D
15. I will never ever ever smoke.
16. It's 11:11. To bad I don't need to make a wish because my life is all ready awesome.
17. I will probably fall asleep as soon as I'm done writing this even though I've been drinking coffee.
18. Even though I'm on vacation, I feel as though I'll probably need a vacation to rest after this one. Weird, huh?
19. I miss my best friend Shannon very much. Both our schedules are VERY busy and I never get to see her anymore. Hopefully that will change soon : )
20. I just bought a song by Phil Vassar on itunes : )
21. One of my favorite preachers is Loui Giglio. In fact, I'm currently also downloading some of his podcasts.
22. I absolutely love my mac book pro :D
23. I'm buying a new camera this month.
24. I want to get a tattoo.
25. I'm finally done, and now I am going to bed.
Good night all : )

Communication is key.
Many people ask me various questions about problems that are happening in their life. In fact, most of the questions that I was asked were questions about relationships [Funny, huh? Especially because I wasn't even in my first relationship until... It'll be 7 months on Wednesday actually]
If you were to ask me 'What is the most important thing in a relationship?' I would without a doubt reply communication. Good communication not only can work out problems in the relationship, but also avoid some problems all together.
So talk. Now If your a girl, talking shouldn't be a problem. But also take time to listen. Communication is a two way street
Aaaaaand that would be my random thought for the night.
As always,
Becca.
