Runs, Strips, and Tornadoes

Yesterday we had a tornado warning on the campus of North Greenville University. I couldn't help but laugh at this occurrence, even though it was a somewhat dangerous situation. First we were told to go into the gym, which is strongly advised against on Weather.com, where they say to avoid large buildings such as gymnasiums. So I just stayed in my dorm room and kept looking out the window to see if I could get a cool picture. Too bad nothing ever came of the dark clouds except for rain. I think it would be incredible to see a tornado just sweep down through the campus, but I wish it could do it without any damage. That would be awesome! I've been watching some tornado videos and getting pumped about going to chase one. Probably won't ever do it though :)



Labor Day is coming up. With Labor Day comes the start of the college football season. This year, Chick-fil-A is sponsoring the College Kickoff Game between Clemson and Alabama in Atlanta on Saturday night at 8 pm EST. After that game, on Monday, every Chick-fil-A across the country will be giving away FREE CHIK-N-STRIPS from 10:30 am to 10:00 pm for anyone wearing any type of football jersey or shirt. Go by your local Chick-fil-A(s), wear your football apparel, and get your free 3-count of strips with some Chick-fil-A sauce!

On another note, I had a great 3-mile run today (on the treadmill) and I think it was the first time I've ran 3 miles before. So yeah, that felt really good and I am hoping to stay diligent about eating healthy as well so I can lose some of my unsightly jiggly places! I'm gonna leave you for now, if there is anyone reading this leave a comment so I know I'm not just writing things to myself! Thanks, have a super evening/day...

Gotta Get Money

No, I don't want to be Lil' Wayne or 50 Cent and go around saying "I get money...I run New York...Young Money" in those horribly annoying voices. But I do want to make some money, and I need to make some money as well. I am about to head to work at Chick-fil-A of Pelham Road, back for the first time since April! I am pretty excited to see everyone, it should be a good day.



Staying on Money Road, I really don't want to fork up 5 or 6 hundred dollars to buy all my books for this semester, but it's looking like I will have to buy at least a few of them. I haven't found anyone yet that will lend me one of theirs from previous semesters, so I guess I will look on Half.com or Amazon for some good deals because the Lord knows that NGU Bookstore is ripping people off. Anyway, I'm gonna roll out. Eat mo chicken!

Cool Video!

I wanted to put up a video I made this summer for my internship with Chick-fil-A, Inc. Check it out, let me know what you think!

Senior Year

Typical blog subject, I know. Everyone always talks about how "it's their senior year, only one year left" blah blah blah. But now that I am in that position I totally understand the feeling. I'm not necessarily ready to explode out of NGU because I have loved it here. I think that 6 months from now I will be ready to graduate though.

Classes start tomorrow and my schedule isn't too bad. Cost and Intermediate Accounting are going to be my toughest classes. Then I have Advertising, E-Commerce Marketing, International Marketing, and Professional Development Seminar. Hopefully I can get all A's. That would be fantastic.

I am looking forward to working at Chick-fil-A Pelham Road again and bringing in that steady income even if it's not all that much; every little bit helps. Having a new and reliable car will also make me feel better about making the 20 mile drive back and forth to work.

I do enjoy having a 2000 Nissan Maxima although I have had to pay for repairs already but I am hoping nothing else will go wrong with it in the near future. I am fully trusting the Lord with the car as well as a lot of other things that I need to turn completely over to Him and allow Him to guide me and take care of me.

Well, other than that I don't really have much else to write about now. I think I'm going to hit the sack and get rested for the first day of classes and chapel tomorrow. Stay tuned for next time!
