Finally Updating

well, let's see...
been 9 like 8 months since I last updated... and I can't remember what I have and have not written (and have no inclination to do so) so let's see. There's not a whole lot interesting going on this semester that I can think of. I mean, there has probably been a ton of things that would be interesting and would be great to write about in here, but I've forgotten them all for the time being.

Well, first off, Elizabeth and I had our first anniversary 2 weeks ago (HURRAY!) though unofficially we have been dating for like a year and 3 months. Anywhos, she's the greatest and I am so very thankful for her. She has helped me through some tough times and I know she would say the same :-)

The semester's about half way over so far and I can't wait for it to be done. Not that I don't like school, I jut don't like Elizabeth not being here with me...I wish she were. But she's taking the semester off to make some dough, but she'll be back and I'll be here waiting.

well, not really anything interesting going on this coming week. Today's my birthday (hurray) so I'll go home this afternoon for a "party" and then go to orchestra for an hour (hurray?) But it'll be good I think. I just wish Wibif could be here to celebrate it with.

Well, I guess that's all for now. Happy Reading and Week,

Phillip Andrew

quick update

So, there's not a whole lot going on here for me. Well, that's not entirely true, but there's not that much of interest going on :-P

I'm moved back into Roberts for the year and classes begin tomorrow. I'm excited to see what happens this semester, I think it'll be a good one once it gets going.

As for new events and happenings, Elizabeth and I decided to help out with the youth group at our church today and will be doing that for the semester and I'm looking forward to it :-) it'll be with 6th-8th grade kids helping out where it will be needed. I think it's a chance for us to get more connected with the church as well as a chance to help both the kids as well as ourselves to grow in their walk with Christ. And also on the side, it will give us some experience with that age group when it comes to our teaching at schools. So it'll be good all around :-D

well, besides that, there's not really anything interesting. I'll try to post if anything pops up.

Until then,

It is that time of the year when the summer starts to draw to a close and I begin to look back at all that I did over the course of that 4 months. The highs, the lows, the goods, the bad and the "all-too-common" boredom.

As the past week or 2 have slipped by, I've been seeing more and more people say they can't wait for school to start back up again. I, too, have joined that group and cannot wait to see everyone again. I have had an urge to just give a few people huge hugs because I've been pretty lonely this summer. Granted, I've have Elizabeth (thought I shouldn't take her for granted) but I miss other people too.

It's weird, this has been one of those times in life when time seems to completely drag and every day feels like it will never end and then it's time for the next one. But now that I look back at it, it absolutely FLEW by. it feels as though the summer just began 3 weeks ago, but now I'm done with work for the summer.

I must say though, I have been extremely lucky and fortunate this summer. I have been able to go out to visit Elizabeth nearly every other weekend (with a few exceptions) and being able to visit and spend time with her and her family and that has definitely helped the summer to simply fly by.

Well, it's all done and over with and I've learned a great deal and learned a lot but now I just cannot wait for school to start again and see all of those that I love and miss so dearly.

Until next time,
Phillip Andrew

Summer Update

So, this summer in a nut shell has been...interesting to say the least. I just have to say that I am so grateful for having Elizabeth by my side to support me all the way. I don't think I could have done it without her.

There actually hasn't been that much that went on this summer, mostly just work getting to me. I work 38.5 hours per week doing a great deal of the same monotonous task day after day after day...(my mom calls this a "stay in school" job) I think the biggest problem is that it doesn't feel very rewarding in the job I do. I clean carpets and wax floors. Most of the time when cleaning carpets, you can't even tell the difference in looks after cleaning them and wax, well that is a bit more rewarding because you can actually see the difference as soon as your done. I think what urks me the most is that I am doing professional level jobs (I know because I cleaned carpets professionally for a while) but yet, I get payed minimum wage.

Anyways...now that my rant is over with. I simply cannot wait for school to start up again. I need to have social contact with my friends and all those people around me. I miss it so stinking much. I cannot wait to have classes with my friends. I guess we'll see how it all turns out. 3 more weeks!!!

I know I'm getting this idea from elizabeth a little bit, but, coming from the current job I'm in, I'm realizing that I want something different. I want to do stuff. I don't know if that means travelling, or doing missions work or something completely different that I haven't even thought about yet. But I really just think I need to do something with my life besides sitting behind a desk or cleaning or whatever for the rest of my life!

For now though, I guess I need to find comfort in the fact that God has a plan for me and my life and I simply need to let Him show me the path He has set forth for me.

Until next time,
Phillip Andrew

update? what's that?

so, I just wanted to let you all know that, yes, I am still alive and kicking (I know some of you were afraid that I wasn't)

As usual, I don't really have anything to write/update about so I figured I would just write here quickly and let you all remember me :-)

Well, basically I'm just working full time, coming home, talking to Elizabeth then sleeping. OOH! I guess last weekend was pretty good. I went with Liverpool Comm. Church to SeaBreeze! that was a good time of fun because a) I got to see a lot of people who I haven't seen in a while (i.e. the macalusos, particularly elizabeth) and b) I got to ride on lots of rides over and over again. Unfortunately though, my body doesn't seem to like rides that bounce and jolt a lot so I had a headache for half the day and was kind of a party pooper.

Besides that, Elizabeth and I have officially been dating for....4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days! :-D

well I need to get skidaddling off to work...oh well, it pays the bills right?

until next time,
Phillip Andrew

new post!!!

so....yeah...I know, it's been a LONG time since I last posted on here and I'm sorry for that. Either I have no inclination to write on here or I simply have nothing of importance to write about. I guess though, that most of you would be happy if I simply updated regularly regardless of what I write.

As I said already, I don't usually have a whole lot to tell about. Summer is starting to hit its long stretch of boring-ness. Work's getting to the monotonous point where I simply live for the weekends. Pretty much I can sum up my days quickly:
6:24 wake up
6:30 shower
6:45-7:15 get dressed (a very slow process that early in the morning)
7:15-7:35 eat b-fast
7:35 brush teeth
7:38 drive to work
8:00 morning devotions @work
8:10-12 work
12-1 eat lunch/swim/play euchre
1-5 work
5:00 go home
5:15-9:30 eat/tv/computer/nap
9:30 devo's
9:45-6:24 bed
REPEAT

so yeah, pretty boring and monotonous usually...

And unfortunately, it just hadn't worked out that Elizabeth and I could get a chance to see each other for...almost 3 weeks? (not fun) BUT luckily, last weekend (friday through yesterday) I went out and visited which was great. It was SOOO nice to see her and her family again. I missed her most of all but her family's pretty fun to be with too :-) then she's coming tomorrow night and then I'm going out to L-pool with Pokey to visit and also to meet the Cuevas!!! (I can't wait) so yeah, I guess I finally have something positive to write about ;-) I guess that's all for tonight...it's past my bed time Good-night and Sweet dreams to all!

whoopidy doo, it's been a while since I last updated. but you know what? I update when I want to.

so yeah, not really a whole lot to update about. School is over with now as of friday, and I left on saturday. Had tests all the way up until friday morning which was kinda sad because most people had already left by thursday night. but oh well, I survived them. Overall, did fairly well in most of my classes and juries were pretty good (didn't think so at the time, but heard after that they went well)

So now, my summer begins. My summer will consist of about 5 things: Work FULL time, sleep, talk to Elizabeth :-D, visit her, and going to church. That right there is my summer in a nut shell. For work, I'm working at RWC doing "house keeping" but I'm not doing real house keeping. I'm actually cleaning the carpets on campus. It's a lot of tiring, sweaty work, but a)it's a full time job that pays and b) it's a bearable job that allows me to be with a group of good people.

Well, I don't have a whole lot more to write about. I'm going up to camp this weekend with elizabeth and her family so that'll be nice and get a chance to get away a little bit.

Well until next time, enjoy reading what little I wrote.
