I keep coming on here, with an idea of what I want to write about. But for some reason, I keep forgetting! I'll just keep typing and see where it goes. So I'm reading this book, called "The Unlikely Disciple:A Sinner's Semester at America's Holiest University." I really really like it. Mainly because the author, Kevin Roose, didn't write it to mock Christianity or anything, he decided to try a semester at Liberty University mainly out of curiosity of what a Christian college is like. Now I'm Christian and I don't think I'd ever go to this college. The rules are really strict like the only PDA there can be is holding hands and hugging and the hug can't last more than 3 seconds. The dorms are unisex, and there is no going into the opposite sex's dorm. They are not allowed to watch R-Rated movies, and then of course, the obvious no sex, drugs or alcohol. The funny thing is most students there like the rules and feel like it's a necessary part of their lives. I agree that rules are important, but some of those are a tad too strict, in my opinion. Also, these students are surrounded by Christians and there are no secular students. My thing with that is they are being sheltered and don't get a taste of the "real world" where not everyone loves Jesus. And there are much fewer chances to reach out to people, because there is no one there who needs to be reached out to. So yeah, I think I will stick with good ol' Oswego.
Another thing about that college is that a lot of the students are there to find "the One." Like they get paniky if by their last year, they haven't found a possible candidate. I don't like that. Which leads me to my next topic. Girls who plan their wedding and such before God has even provided the groom. I know there are some girls who have their whole wedding planned out and are only waiting for the man God gives them. I just think it's not right, ya know? It's just sketchy? I don't know what the right term is here.
Sometimes I wish I lived in Scales. Although I'm also glad to live in Waterbury, because everyone lives in Scales and it's good to be different. I don't like however, when I feel like a burden. I don't like when people argue over who's going to sign me in because no one wants to. Or when people get annoyed if I ask them to let me in the side door. Blah. Maybe I'll just start staying in Waterbury from now on. Then no one has to worry about signing me in or sneaking me in or whatever. But I can't do that. It's hard for me to stay away, haha.
Time for me to go to my workstudy job. Yay? Nope. Adios.

That sounds like an interesting book. I should check it out sometime.
My only issue is that you can't go to a room of the opposite sex. What if you're really good friends with the guy.
I feel bad, now. I should've let you in. YOU ARE NOT A BURDEN! Stop it.
