forgettable

forgettable |fərˈgetəbəl|adjectiveeasily forgotten, esp. through being uninteresting or mediocre.


So I was thinking: this morning in class, EVERYONE had their computer (myself included). Tonight, while snowing, and sitting in my room, I was on my computer and my phone. People are so involved with technology! Phones, computers, ipods, twitter, facebook, email, chatroulette, you name it. We are enthralled in it. I think it has hindered us so much within these past few years that we forget about the important things in life. To love and care for one another, and to show them who Christ is. Sure we can use technology to do so, but what about those that don't have it? There are always going to be people you can't reach via internet, people that long for the physical relationships rather technological. I am not one to preach because I spend so much time on facebook and email. I applaud those that fast from it every now and then, for I have a hard time with trying that. But I don't want to be one of those people that sits on the computer 24/7 and forgets to interact with others. That's my goal, to come out of the shell and make deeper relationships. To not sit and expect them to have facebook and chat on their occasionally. Don't become one of those people either..get out there. People all over the world need what we have, Christ.

New beginnings


So today marks the beginning of a new semester. Registration is officially over, and I start all my classes bright and early tomorrow at 8am. I'm kind of excited about this for a couple of reasons: a majority of my classes are at MACU, so I'll feel like I belong again rather than the stranger on campus. Also, I have switched back to the worship minor since I can't afford the Music Education at ECSU-this all means I'll be done with school a LOT sooner than anticipated. The only bad thing I've found so far is that since I couldn't do much here, I have a hard time socializing now. Eh, I'll work on it.

I start my "job"/practicum at West Park on Wednesday (which also is Mike's birthday). I'm kind of nervous. At the same time, I think it will be a great experience. We shall see what God has in store with this.

Relationships with all people seem to be just fine. I seem to have taken an "I don't really care" attitude. Good and bad..because I don't get involved in people's drama, and good cause I can still be involved. Question though: if something is bothering you, and you don't tell people..what is your reasoning? See, I tell people things that bother me-at the right time, and place if I can find one. Yet, if I've mentioned it before to the same person more than once, why bother mentioning it? Am I wrong? If they don't change it the first couple of times, then I learn to just get over it and look past it. Tell me if you think I'm wrong with this idea.

Hope everyone is excited to start classes back up. It will be a good semester, promise. :) laterrr
