Well, I had to write on this just for old times sake. That last entry seems like years ago, I must admit it is very scary how fast time goes by. And heck, I even try to take time out to smell the roses, and it still flies by.

   I'm just writing to distract myself. But yes, as most people have figured out, I'm at hillsdale. A nice college, located in south MI, about 1400 people. And yes again, that is a prime example of what a chap writes when he has nothing to write about. Facts. So I must go back to my ponderings, seeing as I am merely going to ramble if I dare continue. To any of you kids who used to go to HBC and still use this thing, I have great memories of ya'll. I'm sure I'll see you again this summer.

God Bless ya'll.

So, I'm thinking that xanga is not so frequented as it once was. Interesting, people enjoyed all this writing on xanga, but is seemed to be a passing phase. As it consumes much time, I have not updated in a long while. But I'm about to change that.  As the hour that I'm writing this is early, please excuse spelling errors, whomever might read this.

  Life is a blurr this year. The last year around home, but it seems that I am not even there. I'm already missing my Mom, Dad, and boy, those sibling sure show a ton of affection when they only see you a few times a week! And of course, the lack of homemade food makes me feel like I'm always eating junk. (I know, it is my choice what I eat!) Getting minimal hours of sleep, maximum hours of work. This week I have clocked 12,14,4,13 hrs a work per day. (the four was a half day due to potential rain) I must tell you, I'm getting beat up. I hardly have a chance to even have a time of just plain old Jeremiah thinking, much less time to read.  

  But I'm looking forward to school this fall, a chance to think, study, prepare myself for this world's challenges. I'm weary of the way my country is evolving, and I fear that it cannot last many centuries. So I'm back to my basic instinct, "leaders are needed, become one!" At times I'm strongly compeled to go into politics, but I'm strongly compeled to do much. What does God want? A pure mind, heart. Love, joy, peace, patience...The more people I find that have no love, the more discouraged I get. Too many selfish people in this world. Of course it is as Paul says, " and I am the chief of them all" The buisness world just reeks of self-indulging individuals. But there is still hope. If it was not for the stangers that I meet daily who are kind, encouraging, and engaging, I would be in dispair of mankind.

Right so I need to wrap this up and get some stuff done before I hit the sack. I'm tired tonight. I think it is time to start working on another journal, if I can make the time. Get my thoughts a bit more organized.

  Goodnight.  Oh ya, as far as work goes I'm still crew leading for majestic. Have the offer to buy the buisness but have declined. Looking forward to the future, learning from the past. -Miah

Morning.

  So sometimes I have to wonder why I care so much about so many materialistic things. Clothes for example, why do I even bother? I always have to ask my Mom or sister if I look decent, why bother them? Jeans and a t-shirt is good enough. A vehicle. Way too much concern is invested in making sure it looks good, but I'm rarely satisfied with what I have. (not to say that I'm at all dis-satisfied, just somewhere in the middle)

   Today I had a wonderful 15 min, in which I took a walk aound downtown. Crisp clear morning...I was able to just meander, looking at the memorials, smelling the apple blossoms in full bloom. I got more enjoyment watching a finch hop around in a tree for five minuites than any movie that I've spent money watch of late. There is so much enjoyment in all the simple, yet complex things in life. God's creation is awesome. I can't wait till I can get away from all the big cities of life, and just travel to small towns around the world. There is so much to take in and learn about in the world we live in.

Heed not my ramblin's.

  Work is pretty stressful presently. Boss is really stressed. We are understaffed, and it seems like something with negative conotations happens daily. Oh well, I'll just do my best, as God for peace, and keep taking my little walks!

 Hope ya'll are doing well, schools is almost out!

  Oh, the joys of exams. Haha, this morning I had one in reli. Interesting test. When I was done I also submitted a full page of questions that I thought should not have been on the test.  We'll se what the prof says.

  Keeping out of trouble. Played football sunday, score four or five good touchdowns. Lots of fun. When I left there were about fourteen guys there..a good group to play with. When to a seder meal at church, but had to cut out early to go pick up a huge bonsi down in sockbridge for my boss. Monday went and worked in detroit, today is classes, working for Majestic, Eye appt, and estimate that needs to be done for Alpha scapes, and then finish a paper. Lovely.  Well, off to acc. class. Take care.
