Running In Circles

"We can be told the same thing over and over again, and we can either get bored with it, or actually put it into action..."

Praise Report for the day was finding my phone which I thought I had lost. My hands were full this morning when I got out of the curr for skool. I had keys and my coffee in one hand, trying to juggle my phone ot put it my pocket in the other. What happened was I dont think I put my phone in my pocket all the way. Anyway, so when im sitting talking to a friend before class starts and 10 min till 8am, I realize I got my phone. I rush all the way down the stuurs backtracking all my steps, thinking it may have dropped out of my pocket. At the same time, praying to God, asking for the intercession of St. Anthony to help me find it. Class is pretty much going to start at any minute too but I didnt curr, I needed my phone. Finally I get to my curr and I see that it was left on my seat...whew! Praise God! My friends for the intercession of St. Anthony, he really helps!!!

Despite the fact, I hate waking up early on tues. and thurs. for 8am class, Im feelin my history class. In the beginning when I was scheduling my classes, I thought 'oh why?!' not another 8am class. THough I kinda needed cuz of it was purrt of this new teacher prep program. BEsides that I had read some good stuff bout the instructor and that was the only time he was teaching that class. SO today in class we were talking bout English Reformation and the whole Angelican Church split, king henry VIII blah blah blah. Then the instructor was explaining how when the heir of king henry took over, she really enforced the whole anglican faith. She sturrted to pick and choose wha she wanted from catholicsm to incorporate into the anglican church.

Thas juss a little background info. for ya, so you'll understand the rest of the story. Anyway, so while the instructor was explaining this, he asked the class if thurr were any either 'devout' or 'washed' catholics in the class. Well myself, and these two other girls behind who were sitting behind me raised thurr hands. He asked me if he was right bout the catholic church having 7 sacraments. I told him yeah that was correct, and then he wanted me to name them so he could figure out which ones the queen took to the anglican. Ha this was kinda like a test for me trying to remember all 7 cuz I always end up forgetting one. Then to be put on the spot in front of the entire class...whoa!

ha It was funny cuz we were at #6, and he asked whas the sacrament of last rites. I said, 'oh the annointing of the sick,' He goes no, the one whurr hte priest gives the last rites, I said again annointing of the sick. Finally he asked one more time then my other classmates in the back tol him it was it. He sturrted to laugh and said something like I guess i shouldve known you guys would know. It was juss funny cuz I answered two catholic questions in this past week in that class.

So this morning I left the house a little earlier cuz I was feelin for some coffee. Since sturrbucks is totally opposite direction of skool, I settled for 'its a grind.' I ended up getting a carmael maccahito, which didnt taste that swe3t to me. In fact I forgot that coffee doesnt mix well w/me on an empty stomach in the morning. Agh, I ended up feeling uncomfortable towards the end of my second class. Praise God, I had a break after that class. I even had time to go to cingular and pay my celly bill for the month. I made exactly in time for my last class for the day too!

If you noticed that the title of todays entry is 'running in circles.' Exactly, the way I felt tonite w/trying to get my multimedia messaging working on my phone. Wha happened was mon. afternoon from online, i was able to add the feature and it said it would be running in 72 hours. Wednesday came and I still wasnt able to receive or send anything. I called up cingular today and attempted to straighten things out. Called customer service and I was on the phone w/the tech person for 45 min. then I left things unresolved cuz I had to get to work. After work, I went ot the cingular sturr in cerritos and teh guy told me oh you need to register it at such and such website.

I come home and immediately try to register for it on the website. Unfortunately, when I tried to register it said, 'phone number already in use.' Which made me go 'agh!!!' Called up cingular and I was on the phone again for like another 30 min. w/some lady then she transferred me to tech. support for liek a whole hour convo. trying to get it working. Ends up telling me to go back to the cingular sturr and try sending it from antoha phone. Agh!! I've been getting the run around all day. So Im hoping its a phone thing, this way I can get a new phone! yesss!

Work was pretty much chill, kinda at least. The community service guy didnt come in today so I ended up having to break down the hall. Agh! oh why?! I dont understand how come public works doesnt do it anymore, now that theyre back. We still gotta do all that setting up and cleaning up. Anyway, I pretty much finished decorating my room for the yurr. Im hoping that they'll let me get some desks and some mo bulletin board stuff. Agh! doing bulletin boards gets tiring after a while and my borders arent always straight too! ha Though yo ucant tell unless you look from furr away.

Anyway, besides the whole running around w/cingular today, I was a bit bothered by something else. Actually, this is something I've been meaning to blog for a while, juss didnt know how to put into words. I've been browsing the whole 'my space' scene lately cheecking out, whos on it and whos not. Ha one of my confirmation kids is on thurr too! ha So on thurr you can put your detailed profile, ex. whether you smoke, drink, wants kids, height, and one of them is your religon. What's dissapointing is that many people today, put down 'catholic' as if it's juss a word.

Saying thurr catholic on the profile yet on the rest of thurr details bout themselves, swurring up a sturrm. Now, I'm not trying to judge nor condemn, it's juss dissapointing. Its dissapointing that they have no idea who they represent and reflect. Those are the people who I pray for that one day thurr eyes will be opened and I pray they'll be able to really understand wha it means to be catholic and live thurr life as one. I know im furr from being perfect, but I do my best to represent and reflect the church in a good/positive way. Agh I walk w/God...I got scurrs to proove it! hahha jk

In other news, went out w/fred tonite to d & bs at the block. I found this book I had wanted to buy a while back ago. Its called , 'Wisdom of the little flower.' its the spirituality of St. Therese one of my fav saints! THurrs whurr these other two good meditation books I wanted to buy too. Maan so much good stuff at the book sturr! Yet ha in my room I have all those books I still need to finish reading. My goal was to at least finish the St. Catherine of Siena book, by the end of summer but it didnt tuirn out that way. Ran into bob over thurr @ D & B, it was cool seeing him again.

Okay, im getting sleepy time to rest!

"I swear your lovin got me so high I'm gone..."im done, im out God bless!
