Today was a really great and wonderful day. It was topped off with the visit to Sixth Baptist Church (that isn’t its full name but it is close, it was a historic church). I thought it looked kind of familiar to one of the churches in Portsmouth. Especially inside, it reminded of oh I can’t remember its name, but it has a balcony, lengthy sanctuary, and choir stand behind the pulpit. The service and the atmosphere reminded me of Fourth Baptist Church in a bit.
Service was kind of interesting and spirited. I felt so good to be in a place where God could breathe upon us and grace us with his love, power, and sheer awe. Not only that but we got to hear how his fierce talons of justice can over power the people who are only concerned with frivolous characterizing and patronizing of others. Not only that but the floodgates of heaven were opened and poured out many blessings upon those who were there. I learned a whole lot today, and I really hope to go back again.
The past days have gone by fine. Nothing important has happened. I have new plans for next week such as registering for classes, finding people to talk to, and taking another test in Ethics class.

Three Days of Inspiration
I am starting to become a slacker with these retellings of my life, but never fear, I will catch you all up adequately, list style.
Monday
Monday went as it always has. Simply put it was class to rest to class, without any intermediary event in between.
Hall Council Meeting: Hall Council meeting took place at about 10:00 that night. It was here that we made final preparations for the Halloween Party. Although I was able to portray that I liked the idea, secretly I dislike it! Because of my beliefs, I dislike the idea of dressing up on only one night of the year for a party to celebrate who knows what. But anyway, that is what we did. From the preparations and suggestions of the members, it seems like it will be a great event if plenty of people show up.
Water: sometime during the day, there was a water pipe break and the water was contaminated with foreign particles. For several hours in the evening water use was not suggested. Many people rushed to the showers in the morning.
Tuesday
Office of Student Health Promotion: On this day, I woke up immediately and rushed over to the Office of Student Health Promotion which is located in some far away place from the main campus. Literally it should be considered off campus because of its distance from everything else. Alas, we have to go there for various reasons and it was a chilly and blustery walk. I went there to meet with one of the best people whom I have ever had a conversation with. He is so learned in the bible and provide me with the most insightful and inspiration advice ever. I just love going to talk to him about my pressing issues.
Lunch: Now after that event I was able to meet with another inspirational and very learned person who was able to relate to me with my pressing concerns. It was a great day and I learned so much and got such a new thought and outlook for life, that I feel rejuvenated to live even more for God.
Class: Today I discovered that I managed to get a crummy B. Nonetheless I am glad to have gotten such a high grade on the Biology test on Photosynthesis, I think this was my lowest scoring chapter in high school also. Class was very interesting; we were able to learn more about Early Earth and its creation. I favor the religious view that the Earth was created in only a mere 6 days! We also learned about the creation and rise of life from protobionts to full blown multicellular organisms! Precalculus involved a test and it was extremely simple! I could have possibly done it with a calculator, eyes closed, and my hands tied behind my back in only ten minutes. It was just that simple!
Wednesday
Today was really pretty dull. Nothing that spectacular or amazing happened. However, it was yet another opportunity to recognize how much we love Gods creations and how much that they must be protected. It was only more confirmation in philosophy that all life must be protected no matter what organism it is, fetus, potential human, embryo, et cetera.
Morning: Religion class went by extremely fast. Afterwards, I went to the library to see about my Wal-Mart order and called them to inquire why it was sitting in processing for over three days. That turned out to go fairly. Afterwards did a bit of boring stuff and listening to music in my room, then I went back out to the library computer lab for awhile. This lasted me until Life Science class.
Evening: For the evening, I had a fairly good time. Apart from experience dreadful problems with digestion and stuff of that sort, it quickly went away with the onset of class and prayer. After class, I discovered that putting the order in Gods hands really worked, as the order has finally shipped!

Vacation: Temporary Relief From Scholarly Work May Hold The Secrets To Fill Ones Life With New Life Energy
Fall Break 2006 (or more realistically Fall two days off) was a great time to catch my breath and realize that school wasn’t everything. Sadly, though this feeling didn’t last for long, as Monday soon approached at a very accelerated pace.
Thursday started off with me going to the Commons to spend the morning reading the book, “A Series of Unfortunate Events: The End” by Lemony Snicket. I managed to read it at a very accelerated pace and with a few hours, I had half the book finished. After that event transpired, I proceeded to go to my favorite bible study group. WE spoke of temptation and managed to listen to several members perform great musical pieces, I of course didn’t know the songs. The background singers really had a great voice and consistently made me smile as their talent was profound! That night, I went to the library and stayed there while watching several episodes of Yugioh GX. I managed to finally finish the first season.
Friday opened up with me going on a tour for the welcome center. It was a very profound and exciting event, as I was able to go along with a friend and take quite a large group on a tour of the campus. We traveled for nearly an hour and explored the darkest and dreariest places on campus. After that tour, I believe that I went get my hair cut for my parents arrival. I hadn’t had it cut in weeks so it was tragically annoying to me! But after that event, I raced to the commons to scoop a drink and then I went to the library for several hours. I watched some more episodes of Yugioh GX and then went back to the dorm to patiently wait for the arrival of my family.
When I got home that evening, I was excited. It was as if being in their presence illuminated my day and provided me with life replenishing water. My entire negative thoughts of life were soon put on the backburner as I discovered truly what it was like to really enjoy life and have people to enjoy life with!
The next day was spent going to my Grandma’s House to visit my relatives. It was another exciting event as I was able to see several cousins, aunts, uncles, and even grandma! I even had the chance to finally eat some of Grandma’s cooking, and it was terrific!
Sunday was spent at church of course and it was another life refreshing event. I couldn’t believe that it was one of the best Sunday’s of the year, ever, Family and Friends Day! So here is what happened, through a combinative effect of seeing several peers whom I hadn’t seen in a while, the inspiration music that I have grown to love and missed, and the speaking of life from the preacher himself, I was able to really see that life is good indeed. He even spoke about my current troubles and I realized that I am wrong every time I declare that life is pointless. It is a sign that we have no trust and faith in God and that is not good, no not good at all.
That evening, I made my way back to Richmond with my parents. We stopped at one of the best restaurants ever, Cheddars!
I know I have managed to skip very important sensory details, but this was a very tiring weekend, and I am now feeling the full effects of it. I don’t think it is sleep but rather the ominous feeling that one is tired of life. I am not really tired of it, but here at VCU I truly feel as if has abandoned me. Somewhere in my soul is this nagging and ugly instinct that I keep resorting to whenever I am alone and am thinking, it is like saying “Tristan, why do you wake up each day, why do you not do something to eliminate your minor presence on Earth, you have nothing to live for, no viable and lasting goals to fulfill, nothing to look forward to, in fact the only thing you have is that you are going to heaven once you die, so why not hasten your time in getting there!” It is this, this spirit that is inhibiting my happiness, so now I have to figure out someway to banish it and eliminate it from myself; in fact, I fear it is too late for it has been there for nearly six years now. I want some help!

Catch Up: The Continuing and Unraveling Tale of The Amazing Events That Happen In My Life!
During my times of tribulation, I seem to have failed to mention the daily occurrences that have happened. In fact these occurrences have actually been times of great joy and excitement. Because of this, I can’t remember them all but I will sum it up for you. Between going to many activities during the week (Student Admissions Ambassador Tours, Studying for classes, and even meetings) life is till moving on in a very fast pace.
The meetings for this week were of course:
Cancer Awareness Team: Acknowledgement of Making Strides against Breast Cancer walk, new prospects of more activities, ski trip in the future, and more fun activities to foster peer to peer interaction amongst members.
Honor Council Hearing: Confidential and can’t be discussed. One hint of advice: Always follow the teacher’s syllabus!
Hall Meeting: Confusion and imbroglio will always plague meetings of this proportion. However, with a secretary that is as dull as a bowl of fruit and it as emotionless as a banana ripening on a tree, progress can be made. New prospects of a Halloween gathering and other minor events were made.
Floor Event: Watch the gross Saving Private Ryan. Very gory and bloody, sickening to the stomach. Call of Duty on Xbox 360 afterwards, I managed to get last places and third place a few times.
Alethiea: Temptation Discussion
Other events: There was a minor event on Tuesday night in which members of the floor player Super Smash Brothers on the Game cube. Other than that, I was able to get The End by Lemony Snicket to finish the Series of Unfortunate Events.

Why Do I Go Through Tragic Emotional RollerCoasters?
The past two days have been a constant struggle for me. It all started during a walk for cancer and I saw all the people who had survived cancer. It made me think of my mother and how unfortunate it was to lose her in my life. If that horrible disease had only went away we would have been with the survivors group. Sadly we weren’t. I tried to stay calm during the event and managed to do a good job of not breaking down, but now the full effect is taking over and I truly wish to never leave my room again.
Not only that but for some reason I have now also begun to have these constant bouts of extreme sadness, dissidence from others, and even thoughts of no purpose in life. For some reason I can’t explain it, but they completely stun me at times that anything that I try to do that is enjoyable just seems boring and pointless. I felt so bad today during a Hall Council meeting when I was really not even at the meeting. I feel so bad because I feel like I hurt someone’s feelings. Then to top the cake, when I received a phone call, I was completely not there as well. I almost wasn’t even listening until they asked if I had wanted to talk to someone in the health office. So I got out of the bout and instantly acknowledged that I could truly tell someone everything that I was going through. Maybe they would have some answer for my life and restore my life and joy.
Apart from that, I believe that I am starting to move my perfectionist’s beliefs to the forefront of my life. I have gotten so worked up over the past few days because I got a 90 on a test! It was so depressing and disenchanting to receive such a dreadful grade! But I should have been happy to get an A but I am not. I guess I feel that I should get a 100 on everything and if I don’t then I just wasted my time!!!
One of the more positive things that have happened is that I am truly beginning to put my religious beliefs into action. Several issues are big and controversial and I am going to remain firm in my literal interpretation of the bible and declare that certain circumstances shouldn’t be the way they are. Even if people ridicule, mock, and even try to impose their view, I will not progress and take back my belief. It would be pointless.
On another note, nothing that spectacular happened over the weekend and on today!

My Belifs (v 1.01)
My latest journey in the world of Virginia Commonwealth University has led me to search the internet to clarify my religious beliefs. I chose to do this because there are so many things that could unfortunately alter and change my beliefs forever, if I stay too opened minded and try to accept everything as truth. So by staying true to my roots and extremely close to the religious text, I will base my entire life off of it.
From what I have gathered by pouring through tons of definitions and lists of beliefs for denominations, I discovered which I am. I have found out that I am really a Fundamental Christian (fundamentalist beliefs, very conservative in government). So in line with that reasoning which have always been my beliefs. I believe in the following concepts wholeheartedly.
1. Inerrancy of Scripture: Every single verse of the bible was written and inspired by God. [2 Timothy 3:16 all Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right]. Now following this, I believe that every single solitary thing in the bible is true and means exactly what it says.
2. The virgin birth and the deity of Jesus: I believe that Jesus was in fact the Son of God the Father, and came to the Earth to die for everyone’s sins. God put his seed within Mary and she in turn gave birth to Jesus without any intercourse.
3. The doctrine of substitutionary atonement through God’s grace and human faith: I believe that Jesus came to the Earth to die for the sins of everyone so that evil could in turn vanish from the world. Through accepting him into out hearts he has already taken the full brunt of our sins and washed them away. [Isaiah 53:5 “he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquity, the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his stripes we are healed]
4. The bodily resurrection of Jesus: Jesus in fact rose after having laid down for three days. On the third day morning he rose and got up from the grave and then taught on Earth for 40 more days before rising to heaven where he sits at the right hand of God today. His resurrection defeated death and enabled us today to be able to have our chance to go to heaven. [Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, and John 20-21]
5. The authenticity of Christ’s miracles and his premillennial second coming: Jesus was able to fulfill every single one of the prophesies that the Old Testament prophets declared. He also rose from the dead. And thus because of this, it is true then that he performed every single miracle (since all of them were prophesized to transpire). Not only that but I believe that Revelation 20-21, speaks of Jesus coming after a sort of Rapture (in which the believers will go to heaven before a seven year period of world destruction, and a million year reign of Jesus on Earth).
Other beliefs of fundamental Christians that I believe (and I believe in all of them) are as follows:
1. Young Earth Creationism: Earth created by the hand of God 6000 years ago.
2. Universal Flood Geology: The Great Flood of the bible is the origin of most of the Earth’s geological features, including sedimentary strata, fossilization, fossil fuels, submarine canyons, salt domes, and frozen mammoths.
3. Advocate Prayer in Public School and Christian messages in public forums (displays of the Ten Commandments).
4. Pro-life: Oppose abortion, human cloning, physician-assisted suicide, embryonic stem-cell research.
5. No Same-Sex Marriage, strict sodomy laws
6. Belief that a one world government and religion will emerge with the rise of the Antichrist
7. Strict Codes of conduct that prohibit the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, dancing, and gambling.
So now that I have firmly stated my beliefs, I will respond swiftly and attempt to continue to live my life in the fashion that was described. Truly it is what the Bible does say.

People Grow More Impolite!
Today was a day that started out with new hopes. I woke up immediately at 7 and prepared to begin my day of great tidings. I quickly got prepared for the day by ironing my clothes to look spiffy for a tour at the Welcome Center. Although it did not take place, I still looked nice in a button up! But that is a different tale that I won’t share to you. Most importantly is that I left there and immediately went to the store. Strangely, I entered in there with no purpose in my mind. When I reached the children’s books section (I actually picked up one new adult book called the Thirteenth Tale but thought against buying it), I saw the book that I had been looking for, Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony, the newest book in my favorite book series. So I picked this single copy up and went to buy it. I then left there and continued with my normal day. I like summing it up verse prose!
Afternoon
1.Go to commons and volunteer for Cancer Awareness Team. Tell people that a sticker will save a life, prevent the collapse of civilization, and aid in the discovery of diseases. Ran through two rolls of hundreds of stickers.
2. Went to Life Science class and wanted to reprimand three students who were as I quote “too grown to be quiet during a lecture.” They did not realize that I am sitting in the front of the room and they are nearly in the back and I could hear their entire conversation up front. The professor today sat back there with them because several students complained. I thought people acted more polite as they got older but I guess not.
3. Went to Shafer to join the Tabling part of Sierra Club.
4. Went to Philosophy Class, had a good laugh and I think I finally have my beliefs in Abortion set. I am thinking I believe that the fetus has all the rights as a fully developed person because if a fetus doesn’t then it is not a person, and it is strange to think that people carry “not persons” in them.
Had to Catch You All Up
Because of various events and activities, I have spent the past four days trying to catch my breath. To sum up that which has happened, I will spare you the long wind and just give it to you in a raw format.
Saturday
1. Went to Student Admissions Ambassadors Training extremely late (it started at 12, I woke up at 12).
2. Training proceeded while I was not there, however I caught up (I just missed an interactive icebreaker, notice the redundancy, get it icebreakers are always interactive, I know it was that funny).
3. Training included going out on a tour in torrential rain and wind. Umbrellas flew away and hit me on the head. I struggled to listen while on the tour, I thought I would freeze to death or get blown by the wind.
4. Training ended at 4. I proceeded to Student Commons for Cinema duty again. Cinemas jam packed during second movie later that night (think 156 people from 11 until 12:50).
Sunday
1. Woke up early for no apparent reason
2. Read Bible and ignored doing any studying or basically anything productive, thought provoking, life changing, or phenomenal.
3. Watched 48 episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh GX that I had missed over the past two years. Caught up to the end of season 1, did not finish because parents called later that night.
4. Talked on phone for a while, got cell phone usage limited to 100 minutes, anything over 100 minutes means I have to pay for it.
Monday (My weak of chaos began) Note to self: Never suggest to anyone to join more than three organizations!!!
1. Woke up at 8, performed morning ritual and arrived at Religion class early. Managed to figure out a cunning way to receive missed notes from Friday. By elegantly and cunningly suggesting to someone who also sent email for notes, I asked them for them as well. However, I had to surrender two days of my notes, a fair trade off, I felt morally obligated to do it.
2. Went to Student Commons for Student Alumni Ambassadors to aid Alumni Association in reaching out to new graduates during Grad Finale. From 11-1 I spoke life changing words and accolades about the VCU Alumni Association which I knew nothing about.
3. Immediately there after went to eat lunch with the $10 meal voucher they gave (note to self, next time use all of it, I only used $7 on Teriyaki, chunky rice, and chips/drink).
4. Began reading A Lesson Before Dying
5. Went to Life Science Class, scored another 100 and was captivated by the way that a Director of a group spoke to us and began by singing a song from Phantom of the Opera
6. Went back to the dorm to finish reading “A Lesson Before Dying”, must finish by Friday, dedicated several hours to it, forced myself to get into it, now I cant put it down…
7. Went to Johnson Hall Council Meeting as Secretary, took notes on the event that was planned. Wondered why it seemed like it is only being ruled by one administrator, a president and vice president, and wondered how in the world the president and vice president could make decisions without consulting other members of the board. Put those thoughts aside and just did my job, created a spectacular and interesting set of minutes for them and left.
8. Went to bed
Tuesday
1. Woke up late for an event, discovered that someone had removed clothes from dryer and set them on top. Wondered if the one who did knows that they are not morally obligated to move it!
2. Went to the Commons for Cancer Awareness Team (note to self, register for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk by Saturday).
3. After two hours (I need to finish reading my book and study for religion and biology for upcoming tests, need to finish math homework), I went upstairs and volunteered for the Alumni Association again. This time I visited several tables and discovered new information, freshman have been staying in hotels for several years now, caps and gowns for PhD’s are in the 500 hundreds, I will be in graduate school during my fourth year, my ring can be sent in for a free cleaning.
4. I left at 3 because I was late for lunch. I did not go to lunch but rather to a computer. I then went to Biology and got some extra credit. Decided then that I wanted to go to a test prep session on Thursday. Got extra credit points.
5. Went back to the dorm to get calculator, went to dinner, went to commons to get on computer for only 15 minutes, sat for an hour and read nearly 100 more pages of the book.
6. Went to class and got another 100 on a quiz. Wished for class to end quickly.
7. Trip to 7-11, line was backed up badly, I didn’t buy anything.
8. Went to library for several hours, caught up on math homework and finished some in advance.
9. Discovered that I got a B on my Philosophy test, nearly went into depression and now want to drop out cause I did so badly on it. I am such a dunce for getting that grade!
And that my friends was the past several days!

3. Watched 48 episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh GX that I had missed over the past two years. Caught up to the end of season 1, did not finish because parents called later that night.
4. Talked on phone for a while, got cell phone usage limited to 100 minutes, anything over 100 minutes means I have to pay for it.
Monday (My weak of chaos began) Note to self: Never suggest to anyone to join more than three organizations!!!
1. Woke up at 8, performed morning ritual and arrived at Religion class early. Managed to figure out a cunning way to receive missed notes from Friday. By elegantly and cunningly suggesting to someone who also sent email for notes, I asked them for them as well. However, I had to surrender two days of my notes, a fair trade off, I felt morally obligated to do it.
2. Went to Student Commons for Student Alumni Ambassadors to aid Alumni Association in reaching out to new graduates during Grad Finale. From 11-1 I spoke life changing words and accolades about the VCU Alumni Association which I knew nothing about.
3. Immediately there after went to eat lunch with the $10 meal voucher they gave (note to self, next time use all of it, I only used $7 on Teriyaki, chunky rice, and chips/drink).
4. Began reading A Lesson Before Dying
5. Went to Life Science Class, scored another 100 and was captivated by the way that a Director of a group spoke to us and began by singing a song from Phantom of the Opera
6. Went back to the dorm to finish reading “A Lesson Before Dying”, must finish by Friday, dedicated several hours to it, forced myself to get into it, now I cant put it down…
7. Went to Johnson Hall Council Meeting as Secretary, took notes on the event that was planned. Wondered why it seemed like it is only being ruled by one administrator, a president and vice president, and wondered how in the world the president and vice president could make decisions without consulting other members of the board. Put those thoughts aside and just did my job, created a spectacular and interesting set of minutes for them and left.
8. Went to bed
Tuesday
1. Woke up late for an event, discovered that someone had removed clothes from dryer and set them on top. Wondered if the one who did knows that they are not morally obligated to move it!
2. Went to the Commons for Cancer Awareness Team (note to self, register for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk by Saturday).
3. After two hours (I need to finish reading my book and study for religion and biology for upcoming tests, need to finish math homework), I went upstairs and volunteered for the Alumni Association again. This time I visited several tables and discovered new information, freshman have been staying in hotels for several years now, caps and gowns for PhD’s are in the 500 hundreds, I will be in graduate school during my fourth year, my ring can be sent in for a free cleaning.
4. I left at 3 because I was late for lunch. I did not go to lunch but rather to a computer. I then went to Biology and got some extra credit. Decided then that I wanted to go to a test prep session on Thursday. Got extra credit points.
5. Went back to the dorm to get calculator, went to dinner, went to commons to get on computer for only 15 minutes, sat for an hour and read nearly 100 more pages of the book.
6. Went to class and got another 100 on a quiz. Wished for class to end quickly.
7. Trip to 7-11, line was backed up badly, I didn’t buy anything.
8. Went to library for several hours, caught up on math homework and finished some in advance.
9. Discovered that I got a B on my Philosophy test, nearly went into depression and now want to drop out cause I did so badly on it. I am such a dunce for getting that grade!
And that my friends was the past several days!

Torrential Rains
I would say that Friday was a rainy day, however that would be a major understatement. In fact Friday was the rainiest days of the rainy days. It wasn’t raining cats and dogs, but rather raining Skyscrapers and Aircraft Carriers. It was as if the God of the Heavens, opened up the floodgates and let all its healing waters loose. Of course that wouldn’t be possible for the healing waters are reserved for a select few. But you get the picture, it was raining like there was no tomorrow. I woke up early for class but wasn’t in the mood to go to Religion in Contemporary America. It was cold and raining so I decided to stay in the bed for thirty more minutes. I then got out and did my ritual to go to Life Science class to finish watching more of The Island, a fantastic movie about the genetic clonable future.
I then proceeded to the library. This time I got on a computer without having the fear of being intercepted at the last possible moment. I was prepared this time too, I would run fast to the computer and then swoop the chair back quickly sit in it and pull myself up extremely quickly, thus blocking anyone else from getting to it. I didn’t care how much noise it would make! Of course no one was at the library for it was raining.
Time went on and I went out in the rain to two events. I went to the Student Alumni Ambassadors meeting and discovered new programs. I signed up for a couple of events. I then went and signed up for the Honors College at the next meeting. I have to wait until the end of this semester to apply because I need my credits (12 at least) and a 3.5 to get in. Then after that, I am in.
I then went to the Commons to watch Superman and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest. It was exciting then I went back to the dorm to go to sleep.

Good Day but Not Great!
Today was yet another great day to be alive. I decided today that I would make my next best goal that of attempting to live my life like it was golden. Sadly, however, I failed partially in this mission. I woke up depressed and saddened that I was too late to attend a study session with a peer from Biology. I got downstairs to the computer lab thirty minutes late and met no one. The day was ruined already. But fifty minutes later he showed up and we were able to get thirty minutes of work done. After that event, I rushed over to the Life Sciences Building to attend a luncheon and to meet a few students in the Bioinformatics major. I saw a few people and was surprised that it was the first time that I had seen them. Most were seniors or students who were already married and established in other careers, so it was in a way kind of sad to not see anyone near my age.
After the luncheon, I went over to the library. It was at this moment in time that my day hit a strange and horrible turn. I walked into the library and hoped that a computer was open, because I did not want to go back to the dorm and get on a computer in there or on my own laptop. I walked to the second floor and saw that all nine computers were taken. I then proceeded to take the stairs to the third floor and saw that all the computers were still taken. I then walked up to the fourth floor; once again all of the computers were being used. I then walked back to the third floor and found all the computers taken. I was starting to get a bit heated because none of the computers were open. So in order to increase my chances of finding a computer that was available, I took the hidden and underused back staircase down to the second floor. This proved to be useless as all the computers were still occupied. I then decided to go back to the third floor via the same staircase and saw that the computers were still being used (although someone had gotten a computer in my short time away from the floor). I went back to the fourth floor and found all the computers taken. I took the elevator downstairs to the first floor and nearly left the library when I saw a clear computer in the café area. I quickly rushed over to that computer. However as I was nearly about to grab the seat a guy walked up and sat down with a huge and ugly looking grin on his face. He knew that he had done wrong and said “sorry man.” However his actions did not show the emotion that he was trying to utter, for he still sat down at the computer and logged on. I was nearly on fire at this moment and just walked away. How in the world could you say sorry and not do anything. Clearly, if you saw someone going to the computer you wouldn’t get up and intercept them to sit down. If this was football, I could understand, but not for a foolish computer! I walked away in amazement and awe at what he had just done. I decided to fight for a computer so I went to the second floor and sat at the chairs that are in front of the computer area. This was a smart idea for I would just wait for a computer to clear and then move to it, versus constantly going floor to floor looking for a computer (I only could use a few on each floor, actually the ones that are enabled for right clicking). After sitting still for about ten minutes a computer terminal opened and I was online.
Immediately after this event, I ran over to the Life Sciences building again for another class. This was Introduction to Biology and it was movie day. We watched the most boring movie in the world, “The Extraordinary Sex Life of Plants.” I thought it was quite old when it came on. Apparently I was right for some people got up and left class. For the next 45 minutes, I had to sit and writhe in pain as I saw hundreds upon hundreds of images of plants opening and closing to release pollen and allow bugs to get within so that they could be pollinated. This wasn’t extraordinary at all, by the way. I dozed off halfway through and then woke up fifteen minutes to the end. I then just stared at the screen and daydreamed about a better tomorrow and imminent world destruction from global warming. After ten minutes these thoughts became so repetitious that I just stared at the screen blankly. I was looking at it but not taking anything in, so I can’t tell you what was going on. I do know however that, the movie ended when the lights in the room came on.
Next I journeyed over to the Student Commons and attended the Aletheia student bible study (it is every Thursday). Today’s topic was on marriage and it was quite interesting. I missed the very beginning of it, however I do know a bit of what was said. Apparently divorce is a bad thing and men need women in their lives to live an enjoyable and fulfilling life. It seems that without them, the bible says that they are helpless, which in a way makes sense according to the first three chapters of Genesis.
I proceeded from there to the Theater downstairs in an attempt to get the Pirate Hat for our introduction and showing of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (which is about a ship and a dreaded treasure that cause the people to not be able to die). I continued with my ritual of closing the popcorn boxes and opening them [it is really life fulfilling]. Lots of people came to get pirates hats, but as usual, we live in a very corrupt world. So we had people come to get popcorn and a hat and then leave. We even had people run up and take them. So I was able to develop a fact that “Because people are inclined to get that which they want at all costs, they will do it no matter how low that they must go, even if they lower themselves to lying, thievery, and even bribery, they will still do it!” So because of me understanding this fact, I did not get mad. It was unfair to those people who really wanted the hat and wanted to see the movie, but alas those that is more corrupt get it and ruins future opportunities for everyone. Of course, I couldn’t tell anyone this in their face, for it is a fact that no one is ready to face.
I would have enjoyed staying to see the very beginning of the movie, but I had to go to Precalculus class to take a quiz. It was really simple, so simple in fact that I finished it in less than eight minutes. I managed to escape the class and made it to the movie in time to see it as the captain was caught for the first time.

Interesting Day
Today was one of those days that you wake up to and wonder if it really is a joy to be alive. You see I woke up in a sour mood because I had unwarily set my alarm clock for 7 PM instead of 7 AM. So my plans of going to the library were ruined when I realized that it was 8:30 AM! However, I quickly changed my sour mood when I saw the bright sunshine and felt the cool morning air of Richmond. Being that I am on the eleventh floor of the building the air felt really cool and smelt refreshing. For some reason, I began to realize that today would be really spectacular.
I went through my average morning ritual of getting ready for activities. Activities have seemed to become a major part of my college career as they will be vital for my attempt to become an Resident Assistant or get into the Honors Program in the very near future. So today I looked at my agenda and went to the first event at about 11:00. This event was the day that various political organizations on campus attempted to get us all to become registered voters. I went ahead to the one that I was to help out (the Americans for an Informed Democracy). Before I was able to volunteer, I had to register to vote. I filled out a very simple form and another form for an absentee ballot (because Richmond is not my permanent residence). This was beneficial for me for now I can vote in November for the election. I proceeded with my volunteer job of attempting to get people to become registered to vote. Quite a few people were moved, a majority of the rest were already registered to vote or were not interested in trying to get the changes they wanted to see. Consequently, we can say that they are going to be the ones whom will complain about the government not making decisions in their interest. After an hour, I went back to the dorm and then to lunch at Shafer.
The next major event of the day was Biology class. It was fairly interesting today as we discussed further details about the process of photosynthesis. I, of course, continued the ritual of yelling answers out in class to answer the teachers questions and to stay focused. Sadly, apart from another guy and a girl, I was the one who yelled out the most (some were incorrect!).
For dinner, I went back to Shafer and met two friends (actually a third showed up later, and I saw a person from my math class there). We talked for a bit. It was kind of interesting because I had not seen them in about two weeks (actually a week but one of them loves to exaggerate). Immediately thereafter I ran to PreCalculus class.
PreCalculus was an interesting class today because I continued the tradition of yelling out answers. I was so excited because it was the first time in awhile that I had been able to do a bit of mental math on the spot. I was even able to answer a few more complex composite function questions [for those that do not know these are the f of g of x functions].
One issue arose today in class. I had to decide if I was going to attend class on Thursday or miss it (and the quiz) for Pirates of the Caribbean in the Commons on Thursday. I decided then and there that I would come to class for the quiz, because I had previously already seen the beginning of the movie two years ago. This would not only enable me to do the mere 15 point quiz but it would enable me to see the movie as well. I wouldn’t miss anything in class either because we review the information on Tuesday [I have over a 100 in class and I took the class last year].

Partial Day 2 Complete
Tonight I went to Life Sciences class and had a bit of a ball. For the first time in like a million years, I got all of the multiple choice answers correct. So now my grade will hopefully be over a 90 in there. For the past consecutive classes, I have definitely got one of our 4 questions wrong (which is kind of unfair considering they ask us about stuff that we can’t possibly know). Today we had a lecture on Stem Cell Research and the lecturer (who isn’t a teacher but rather a director of the chemical engineering in life sciences program, who came from Florida State) told us about the various misconceptions about it. To some it was more of a review of how the media and the government entangle facts to make them seem worse than they really are. At times I think they get it so twisted at times that they make beneficial and benevolent things about society sour. For example, the understanding of Human embryonic stem cells that are the ones that are usually discarded could help us understand the basics of life. Is it not amazing to think of how one cell can differentiate (a fancy word for change, think of “morph”/”transform”) into one of 30 (I believe) different cells in the body. Current understanding and lack of in depth research due to governmental involvement and twisted facts prevents us from being able to dive into this issue fastidiously. Rather we must go into it meticulously with the Government watchdogs starring down or backs and the media ready to devour any protocol that causes some negative information! Of course with time I know that this problem will soon change. Let’s just hope that it does so that we can understand the development of life before it all goes extinct! (Philosophy, think of slippery slope)
After class I attended the Intercultural Festival Volunteer Meeting and we discussed various events. One particular event that I will not be able to go to is the Social that is being held next week. I am supposed to table however, I will not be able to as I have class that night. This is an important class as we meet only once a week and anytime one misses class they will miss a ton of information.
Immediately thereafter, I went to the Umoja event that was held for the Women’s studies. If my understanding is correct, I listened to two advocates for indigenous women’s rights in Africa, ideally Kenya. I found it to be quite interesting that there 16 years of involvement have been successful. They shared stories of women being able to avoid malicious and heinous attacks by the men of their villages. They were able to run to help to avoid being attacked, raped, and even killed. The main purpose of the event was to raise our awareness of the issue and work to help to create a better environment for the indigenous people, ideally through the passing of international laws and a goal to get the US to sign this reproductive rights law that will enable them to have abortions (I am quite sure it is more detailed than that).
And that is what happened on this glorious day!

Partial Day 1
Another new day is always welcome. Today saw the rise of me waking up to do the much needed laundry. As is the case when a day is started after having the Lord in mind, everything seemed to go as fine as a walk in the park. I did not have to shuffle anyones clothes out of the way nor did I have to contribute an additional dollar to their dryer to dry their still wet clothes (yes I am that generous that if your clothes are still wet when I get in there that I will gladly put my dollar in). So after doing that I went into the room to deal with my computer. She acted up and nearly put me in a sour mood but I quickly smiled when I remembered that I could go to other places. So I left the room (after putting my clothes in the dryer) and went to the computer lab downstairs. I checked my email and gathered additional dates and times for several organizations (let me tell you, I will not have that much of a weekend for now on because I joined several organizations). So after that I went over to the games store to oprepare to pay off a game but decided against it. I have to save money so it wouldnt be wise to speed it so quickly on such frivolous games (although, I have limited myself to one game a month). After doing that I went back to the Student Commons and spent several hours reading my Ethics book. Then I went to Quiznos to eat and ran into a friend. We then went to the dorm and talked for a bit and I left to go to the library before LIfe Sciences Class.
