1) And most importantly. Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling are back together and it makes me the happiest person ever. Here is what one of my favorite bloggers has to say about it
Rachel and Ryan are supposed to be together FOREVER! Didn’t they see The Notebook? They are supposed to dote on one another throughout senility and failing health, realizing again and again that their love is a force of a thing that transcends the wicked confines of the human form and then they die peacefully in one another’s arms and I bawl my eyes out.
I love them. And I dont think I can handle another breakup from them!
2) Jonathan Knight is gay!!! He was my favorite New Kid on the Block. Crushing.
3) Didnt do well on my DAT but no biggie, God has something even more amazing and wonderful planned for my life. My new mission is to find out what it is!! Off to Vegas!!!!

Missing in Action
If you are wondering what's been going on with me.... I can honestly tell you NOTHING!! I've been studying my ass off and making great improvements on my scores, but not good enough. I have two days to at least raise my score by 1 more point. I am taking another practice test tomorrow so I will keep you updated. My greatest achievement is my archnemesis, quantitative reasoning (math) has been conquered. I never have received a higher score than a 14 on that section, and I have been making consistent 19s recently. It's very exciting in my little very boring world. I'm very upset that The Hills is taking over my favorite show, Run's House on MTV tonight. I guess that should tell me that I need to be studying more than watching tv. Anyways, christina tagged me in this survey and I'll tag bonnie since she's the only person who reads this :)

Driving the Second Mile
Originally by Bammel Youth Minister Eric Petty
So I just thought this was a nice thought. And I find him to be hilarious.
Recently I was driving, because that's what I do. You probably don't know this about me, but I pride myself on obeying many of the laws of automobile operation. For example, I think it's a good thing to NOT weave in and out of traffic in downtown Houston doing 70 miles per hour while texting a friend and eating a doughnut. But, apparently, that's just me. I have found since moving here that many people do not feel the same that I do about said weaving.
I also admire the "unwritten" rules of traffic. The other day, for example, I was on Kuykendahl coming to work, when I spied someone who needed to turn from a parking lot into the street. So I motioned for them to get in front of me. And they did. Yet, htey must not understand the "unwritten" laws because I sat their waiting for a friendly wave which never came. Everyone knows what I'm talking about. When someone lets you in front of them, you acknowledge their act of vehicular humanitarianism by simply looking into their eyes and giving a little wave. It doesn't even have to be a whole wave. Simply throwing your hand up in appreciation and mouthing "thanks" or "you're the man" or "I don't know where I'd be without you" will suffice. But this person...well, he did nothing. Not a wave, a head nod, a tip of the cap...nothing.
You can imagine how incensed I was. I mean, you can't ignore someone when they do something good for you. But then I asked myself why I let the guy in front of me in the first place. Was I doing a good deed just to bask in the delicious splendor of someone's praise for being such a good person, or was I genuinely trying to help someone? The fact is, sometimes we aren't going to be acknowledged for our good works, and that can be a bummer. But that doesn't mean we stop doing good just because people don't give us a key to the city. That's part of going the second milke. I know that when I get to the point that I do good just because it's what my Savior wants me to do, and I dont even notice when people aren't appreciative, I'll be closer to what HE wants me to be. I'll be closer to what He wants. That's what it means to be Christ for people. That's what it's like to be on the second mile.
