The Last Kiss

Well, yes...it has definitly been a while. School is in full swing and we all know how that goes. Well anyway, tonight i went and saw the movie The Last Kiss. I kind of slated it "the next version of garden state" before seeing it because it has Zach Braff and whatnot. I really like it. See, as opposed to Garden State--which was all about feeling and emotion in life...the Last Kiss was all about not the feeling anymore, but the action. Here's a quote that I couldn't quite move on from once I heard it...

"What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to those you say you love that matters."

So here's my thoughts I guess: In all of our realtionships--specifically those in which we love, or are supposed to love the other person, what are we doing to them. Is it more that just that feeling? Are we living a life where we are activiely showing our genuine concern and care for their lives? Regardless of who it is: friend, husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, family...or even just those people we have daily encounters with in life. If we are claiming to love the world and those around us, are we actually doing it?

Done.

Well, the first week of school is finished. I'm glad we get a nice long weekend though. My MWF aren't that bad. I've got a few bible classes and then management, then my TH are more stressful. Altogether I'm taking Greek, History of Christian Thought, Theology, Marketing, Management, Communications, and I'm sitting in on The Gospel and Epistles of John. I was kind of feeling distraught because it seemed like it was going to be a really tough semester, but it doesn't seem too bad yet. Though it is only the first week.

I'm really excited for Greek though. We're already reading and pronouncing pretty well, so I can't wait until I know what I'm saying! haha. Muggswigz seems to have become the place of choice. Not that it wasn't before, but some of us are going there to study and whatnot. Wednesday was really fun. We were there basically all afternoon/evening actually working on school work and just hanging out.

So this weekend my family is gone. Nick is in Chicago visiting Rachel and my parents are camping down at Atwood lake. I'm probably going to go join them for a day or something just because I think it'll be nice to get away for a day. But it's kind of weird being home by myself. I mean, its not that bad. It's weird because although I never really talk to my family a whole lot I know they're still around. It was weird coming home tonight and knowing that no one was here...nor was anyone going to be here. And I'm not tired at all...but it's funny because it's late I instinctively tried to be quiet when I got home...then I realized I could be as loud as I wanted because no one was here. haha. I'm really looking forward to eventually moving out and whatnot. I just can't afford it right now though. Someday.
