God is faithful and true :)

something's been happening with my health lately.
i've been feeling spells of dizzyness every now and then for the past two days. sometimes it's worse than others. but it affects my balance and for that matter, my overall feeling in general. i'm wondering what it is. i hope it's nothing serious. my health has to remain okay for the next 16 days because i have a ton of stuff to do!
last week was probably one of the most intense weeks i've had this semester. i had all these things to do, and it was stressing me out like nuts (my mom told me she noticed it quite easily). but it was kinda cool in a sense. i had this real set plan, but i made a sacrifice time-wise for a friend of mine because he lost his notes. what can you do? there's always these little unexpected things that happen in life. you just have to roll with it! so it means you sleep less, then you sleep less. :P
i had a test on wednesday for two classes. i actually didn't study for my psych test (it's the second one) until wednesday. i had a 3 hour break between my type and psych class, so i used that time to study. needless to say i was a little worried about failing (who wouldn't?). but when i wrote it, it wasn't that bad. the information that i read during the three hours stuck in my brain. i didn't do fantastic. but i think by God's grace, i passed it. :) but i could be totally wrong. i have no idea! i think it went okay though. so that's cool! but yeah, God totally just helped me along last week, managing time and everything. He's totally faithful to me. He placed me here and i know He'll carry me through the next 2.5 years :)
yesterday, i went by markham to go out to lunch with andy, janice and the bunch of them. when i stepped in, it was just strange. i can't really put my finger on it. but i felt so awkward being there. granted, it was nice to see some people. but it was just weird. the atmosphere. even when betty and joe came up to me and talk, it was weird. the whole experience was just the strangest thing. but anyhow, it was nice to talk to andy and janice again. we went out to kelseys for lunch! :) it was pretty funny. i was ranting on and on about this delicious dish they have, and while i was doing it, i noticed a smiling waitress at our table. she thought it was hilarious because i was going on and on about it, and she was just smiling. i was just a LITTLE embarassed! lol :)
today class was cancelled because my professor is sick. i was sooooooo happy, because it was like God gave me more time to do all this crazy work! i actually called like everyone i know (which really isn't that many people) and told them the great news! :) it was interesting to see the response to the info from my Christian friends and my non-Christian friends. a big difference in reaction. the Christians we're like praising God, and all that good stuff. and the non-Christians were just like. cool! that's cool. one of my friends even complained about it (go figure).
i've started to read the book of judges. it's a very interesting book! the israelites are really silly people. God like saves them. they worship Him for a few years. forget. go back to like worshipping idols. God gets upset and does whatever. the people get scared, and ask God for mercy. God is merciful on them. so they worship Him again. but after a while, they go back to worshipping idols. it's this cycle that keeps happening!! and it's just not a few times, it's a whole lot of times. man if i was God, i'd just give up on them. but He doesn't. that blows me away. that's awesome. His mercy is beyond any kind of human comprehension. it really is.
but the israelites are a lot like us. you know? it's like we turn our backs on God all the time after certain things, and He's always there waiting, beckoning us back to Him. and even when we definately sin against Him, He still forgives us and welcomes us back. now that's AMAZING :)
so i'm definitely looking forward to finishing the book of judges and seeing what happens. i'm only at like chapter 4 or so! but that'll be it from me tonight. i'm not feeling too great and i have to finish some work still. g'nite!
