So Long Facebook

My Facebook has been deactivated (on my own terms) on account of the amount of time spent on there. 20 minutes here and 15 there throughout the day adds up quickly, and that time can be spent elsewhere..

So for now..so long Facebook..

Spring break begins tomorrow at 11:50 after a Vertes test. The break is much needed but will be consumed by Strecker synthesis and the mechanism behind it.. That's okay though- a break will be nice..

Until next time, stay classy Mark Zuckerberg

Food Poisoning?

What a weekend... Friday night i decided to head home to surprise Kristen cuz she got home from her Dominican Republic mission trip Friday night... Unfortunately, God saw fit for me to come down with food poisoning Friday night.. so rather than meeting her and surprising her i threw up..

But i felt better saturday, so we got to hang out saturday and sunday and it was awesome! Her trip sounds like a truly amazing experience and it was so cool to hear about it.. Overall- it was a solid weekend..

Tomorrow Micah and I head to Nashville for Muse.. it's going to be epic.. A lab test thursday, then back to Chattanooga Friday for corey's game on Saturday.. Hopefully a pretty relaxed week ahead..

Until next time.. stay classy McDonald's double cheeseburgers..

March 11, 2010

Five Feet of Fury + Yank did work tonight. Enough said.

Our intramural team- down 15-28 at halftime with five guys left came back to win 44-34 in the end... It was an epic game and it was so fun.. Nate Peterson probably had 34 points, and played 18 minutes with four fouls.. another legendary performance from the big northerner..

tomorrow holds 4 hours of organic lecture- it's going to be a long afternoon.. but it'll be good.. tomorrow night has potential for a movie night, as i wait for Kristen to call me when she gets back!

Weekend- research paper..

Monday- MUSE..

it's gonna be a good next few days..

Until Next time, stay classy Mr. Peterson..

Thursday.. 12:05... will get a great moment in time.. At that point, my weekend basically begins..

i have a test that will finish at 12 thursday.. lab thursday night, then intramural basketball game because we won tonight because Nate Peterson is a legendary 3-point shooter.. Then Friday night Kristen gets back from the Dominican Republic and i'm so excited to talk to her again! Then this weekend i'm going to try to knock out a large portion of a research paper but we'll see how that goes.. then MONDAY night me and Micah Fern will go to MUSE in Nashville and have the time of our lives together!

So until next time, stay classy Five Feet of Fury + Yank..

It's been a while..

followers-

It's been a while since i've been on here, i apologize.. Life has been extremely busy the past few days, but tomorrow after a test at 3 I can breathe a sigh of relief!

This past weekend was insane. Friday night Kristen and I went to the Signal Mountain Opry, which was really cool.. Then saturday morning we went for a hike and went to lunch with my parents.. Saturday afternoon Corey, Phillip, and I left for Atlanta to see Muse in concert.

The Muse concert was beyond my wildest imaginations! We had floor tickets and it was completely insane. People were going nuts and we had a great time! (I'll try to post a picture, but i'm not sure how to do that yet..)

So this whole weekend while i was home, my mind was not there. I was so stressed/worried/anxious about stuff happening in Jackson, primarily tests, that I could not even focus on life for those few days. When i got back to school Sunday, I had to study for a test Monday morning, then I knew I had a test Wednesday as well- so it was all just really stressing me out!

So I stop studying Sunday and start reading my Bible.. I come across some awesome stuff in Philippians that really spoke to me..

In Phil. 4:11-13, Paul talks about being content with his situation, regardless of the circumstances. I guess God was really speaking to me and just saying "look dwil- you'll be okay." He knew i was completely stressed about all these tests and stuff, but He also knew what i needed to hear from Him at that very moment. Then, Phil 4:13, a verse we all know well- "I can do everything through him who gives me strength." God was basically covering my thoughts and letting me know that everything would be okay. It was so amazing to see Him move in my stressful times..

Then this morning i was reading in Luke 12 and Jesus is talking about how we don't need to worry about stuff.. It has been so neat to see God calm my fears and emotions over the past few days. Psalm 144:3 says "O Lord, what is man that you care for him, the son of man that you think of him." God really does care for us. He knows our thoughts, he knows our minds, and he knows our hearts. The past six days He has definitely been comforting my heart through the midst of the stress of tests and I am so grateful!

Until next time, stay classy Bellamy
