| Alright. Has anyone else noticed the continually decreasing attention spans of Americans? I mean look around you! People have their headphones on walking from one class to the next! At EKU it was one thing...you had a good ten-fifteen minute walk sometimes... but here at KCU... it's like what? 20 yards? I mean I LOVE music, but can't you just look around you at God's creation instead? It's not that far people!
Has conversation gone to the wayside? When on a bus going somewhere, everyone has their headphones on, jamming to the music of their choice, then everyone complains about not having any friends or being lonely, well of course you are! You seclude yourself IN yourself.
Now, I make exceptions to this rant...when you're working out, headphones are totally acceptable, first because they play nasty music over the sound system most of the time, secondly because you need to keep motivated as you work out and thirdly...who wants to talk when you're sweating like a pig and out of breath? I certainly don't. When you're on a car ride and everyone else around you is asleep, that's fine too. But for goodness sakes people, CONVERSE!
Can't we just sit, in silence, and be content with our thoughts? Must we continually have some form of entertainment? This is just something that REALLY bothers me with today's culture...and if you're one of the people that do one of the above... i don't mean to piss you off or anything like that... its just my rant and my feelings about the growing situation at hand.
Okay, I'm done, I swear.
In other news...classes are still going great! I LOVE them!!! They're rather stress free and easy to endure... We're having a big Valentines Dinner Celebration thing with all the girlies...of which I am completely excited about. It's amazing to look forward to one of the overly commercialized holidays of the year. Even when I was in a relationship I kind of dreaded it, because when you ARE attached then there's all these pressures on you to be perfect: Dress perfect, have the perfect hair, the perfect gift, the perfect plans. Going out with a gang of girls, I don't have to worry about that, and i LOVE IT!!!

| wow... almost through with my first week of school! how exciting is that?
I really, really, really like my classes so far! I dropped my Theory class, well...I'm going to, George wasn't in his office, but I'm going to drop it ASAP. So, down to 16 hours. WOOT!
I've been to all my classes thus far except CS Lewis and Chorale. But...that's okay, because I know what Chorales going to be and I leave for CS Lewis in a very few minutes.
I LOVE my new dorm. It's so much bigger and nicer than Dale. Best part is we can rearrange. Worst part....up three flights of stairs..this does mean that I'll have killer legs by the end of the semester though!
My room mate and I are doing a joint diet. It's pretty simple, we eat but just not the fried or sweet stuff. Plus we limit snacks at night to fruit or 100 calorie packs. Plus, we're going to work out together.
I'm really looking forward to my classes this semester. None of them seem that hard or intimidating, and I think I'm going to enjoy all of them. The only change I want to make is that I wish World History II wasn't at 8:30 in the morning. I love that class and I love Dr. Wineland, but I have the HARDEST time staying awake in that class.
Alright, I have to go head to CS Lewis and find out what other 2 books I have to buy. I thought it was pretty good though, my Daddy had 12/14 books for that class. I was doing so well, I'd only spent $55 for books, then my Science and Society book is going to cost $117. Sorta blew that cheapness outta the water. Oh well.
Toodles!
(L) Always,
Shaina

Well... I decided to update today. I read my daily xanga digest, and comment occasionally, but I haven't updated all semester. I think I'm going to do a general update like I did last time, then try and update more regularly in the future.
I love KCU. Period, end of story. I have the best room mate in the entire world, and I can't imagine living with anyone else. Sarah Demas, you rock my world.
I switched majors. I love music, but i'm not passionate about it like I could see everyone around me being, therefore I changed to something I am passionate about. Reading. Okay, so thats not a major, but I decided that I really want to read for the rest of my life, and hopefully add to the books that other people read. So, in my spare time (what little there is of it) I'm currently writing 2 stories...hopefully both will end up being novel length. I switched majors from Vocal Performance to Humanities, with a minor in English and Music. I want to go into the Publishing field, and someday be a book editor.
I'm still single, and I'm starting to be okay with it. A couple of months ago I came to the conclusion that I'm over my ex, and that I was never truly in love with him, I was in love with being in love. You have no idea what a liberating experience that is!
I'm having some health issues, but I plan on taking them into my own hands this coming semester, and hopefully squashing them....with God's help.
Plus side: NO KNEE SURGERY! Thats one of the things I have to take into my lap this semester though, is working out my knee and hopefully getting it strong.
I will now currently reside on the left-hand side of the third floor of West.
Classes I'm taking this semester: C.S. Lewis, World History 2, Wisdom Literature, Acts, Chorale and Science and Society. Maaaaaaaaaaaybe Music Theory 2, although I'm trying to get out of it. I took an entire year of it at EKU, and thats all thats required for a minor. I don't want to take it again, I'd like to take a breather and have some free time to myself, some time to read and too write. I hate theory homework, it's so time consuming. but, I'll take it if I have to...pray I don't though!
I'm happier. I'm slowly starting to aquire friends at KCU... and I know that these friends will continue to grow. I'm so shy... I just can't seem to make myself be outgoing. Thank you Brian, Rachel and Bailey! I love you three dearly!
Alright everyone, you can thank Jennifer Neyhart for making me update. She made me realize I've been slacking quiiiiiite a bit!
(l) always,
Shai

| so... haven't updated in a while.
my life in a nutshell.
i'm single.
i went to the servants concert this year, and it was life changing.
i'll be a sophmore at kcu in the fall.
i now shall recide in dale 220.
i really want a laptop.
on october 7th, i'm going to be a maid of honor. for my aunt.
on august 18th... i see American Idol in concert, and I'm excited.
i'm even more obbsessed with broadway.
i had a meth lab in my apartment building and lived to talk about it.
i have a kitten named Elphaba, and a kitten named Nessarose (see above statement about the being obssesed with broadway thing)
In other news.... I think I'm depressed. But... I think that KCU is going to help with that. I'm just...down... from the breakup still...and it happened in april. It was VERY emotionally scarring... and I didn't realize how emotionally damaging it was while I was in it. No one did, I think. And I feel guilt for breaking it off... but I KNOW it was the right thing, and that its what God wanted. But... I miss him. Anyway.
I can't wait to get to KCU! I'm actually excited about school! how weird is that?
