LU is driving me crazy! I try to graduate early and take summer classes and what do I end up with?
Teachers with computer glitches that try to make my life hard!!
The first day that the course list came out, I took it. Then a week later, Blackboard e-mails me and says I didn't take it and I will be withdrawn from the class.
Then last Monday I took a quiz and wrote all my short answers and today, when I checked my grade, the teacher takes off two points because my answer happened to be translated to Greek on his computer?
How does that happen? I don't even know what Greek looks like. Sorry....I am only literate in English and a little bit of Chinese....Why in the world would I submit something in a random language like Greek on a test?

Don't Boast about your Family Background
There is something really creepy going on when someone introduces themselves as a PK (Pastor's Kid) and then later acts completely different later on.
At a Christian college, it's normal when someone says they are either a PK or an MK: Pastor's Kid or Missionary's Kid.
It's not normal for them to be friendly and then turn into a creeper later. He was so concerned for me that he acted out of the goodness of his heart to care for me? That is exactly what he said in his 'apology' letter. He said he was concerned for me.
Good thing I let LUPD (Liberty University Police Department) know about it, because I do not want to become another casualty or become depressed over the matter. My life is too important to let it go to waste just like that.
Here was my situation before I reported him to the police:
He would wait at the Rot in corners and stand there and wait until I showed up for dinner. Then he would sit at the same table. How do I know that? My friend would get there first and save me a table. He hates her, so he would never sit at the same table with her because she's Korean.
When I get to the table, he would suddenly appear out of nowhere and sit at the table, and talk to me. He would completely ignore my friend.
What's worse is that if a Korean or a person of black descent opens the door for him or holds the door open for him, he would walk through another door. He cannot stand for any Korean or black person to holding the door for him and he's a PK?
What kind of Christian deeds are you showing?

Guilty Until Proven Innocent?
When did we change the laws? I have always heard in courtrooms that a person is innocent until proven guilty. Why is it different in a Christian college? Where are all the "Christians"? I seriously regret going to this school.
Here's what happened today:
Roommate: oh really? OK..I will just ask the Elizabeth than...
What happened to politeness and tact? I'm supposed to have tact but others are not? Basically, my roommate accused me of not having washed her dishes after I supposedly used them?
What about asking first if I had borrowed any of her dishes? How is that for a roommate that's a prayer group leader? This is not even the first time that she has accused me of taking or 'borrowing' things without her permission.
I just hate the fact that every single time something is missing, my roommates are the first to ask me about it. Did you happen to 'take' this? Did you happen to eat that? Why in the world are you asking me?
No! I didn't borrow your clothes or eat my food. Do you not see that I am not your size in clothing or see my two full-stocked shelves of snacks? Let me tell you something...if there was ever a snow-storm, I would be the last possible person to starve in my dorm.
When the food got stolen out of the fridge, I was the prime suspect? Two prayer leaders accused me of taking food when they have no idea who ate it? How about locking the room door for once?
Every single time I come back to the dorm, the door to my room is unlocked! That is why things are being taken. I'm just thankful that no one took anything from me, except candy. I could go without the few extra calories, so I'm not that worried.
And to top it off, my roommate who is a prayer leader lets people borrow her stuff, left and right. I'm not saying anything, but.....you can guess the rest....
Here's what happened today:
Roommate: I would really appreciate it if you washed all your dishes after you used them because those are my dishes you're borrowing.
Me: What dishes? I only have my one bowl. I never borrow your dishes anyways and I always wash mine.Roommate: oh really? OK..I will just ask the Elizabeth than...

Power-Hungry Spiritual Leaders?
Once a common student becomes a student leader, whether a prayer leader, Spiritual Leader Director, a Residential Assistant or a Residential Director, some will use their powers for good, but there are some that will highly abuse their power.
I am here to tell you about the daily corruption I see in every day life through the eyes of a student struggling to stay afloat in this shark pool of power-hungry Christians.
I have tried to keep these things to myself, but if the truth never gets out, it will not do anyone else any good.
For example,
My friend came visiting this weekend. She arrived on Friday afternoon, I went to tell my RAs that my friend arrived. She said that since I didn't submit an order to the RD, I would now be fined $25 for not telling anyone she was arriving and it had to be done 48 hours before she arrived.
My RA also told me that my roommates had to "approve" of her staying in our room before she was actually allowed to stay for a weekend.
Here comes the hypocritical part:
Last weekend, my roommate's sister comes for a 'surprise' weekend and I definitely disapproved in her staying in our room, yet I didn't get any say at all about the situation. I would've have def. disapproved because having 4 other people in the room is not my ideal workplace when I have a huge paper to write.
I find out this weekend that if your roommates don't approve of other people staying in your room, they can't...
Because my roommate is a prayer leader, and my other roommate's sister that let her friends sleep in my room is also a prayer leader, the friends got to sleep in our room for a weekend without any argument or any ___________ (fill in the blank) !!!!
How is that for a Christian environment?

Hypocritical University?
When people hear the word Christian, they automatically think nice people, right?
In this time and age, Christian is now a mere word, used to throw around authority. If I was non-Christian when I came to this school, I would probably shun all the Christians and not want to believe anything else about God anymore. There are some unbelievable things happening behind closed quarters here.
I believe that people in the world should see for themselves the kinds of things that's happening and step out to make these wrong things right again. If we call ourselves Christian, we are under the umbrella of God's name and we should weed out the ones that are seriously making our name sound bad

True Love
I got this book from: bloggingforbooks. Here is chapter 1: Eye of the Sword
Everyone wishes to be loved forever and ever. Every little girl dreams to meet her knight in shining armor or is waiting for a prince charming to sweep her off to his castle. As the bride goes down to meet the groom at the end of the red carpet, friends and family are writing their story down. As we go through life, we oftentimes make our lists and expect God to generate our boyfriends into our liking. God has already made the perfect guy for our lives and He's just waiting to give him to you in His own timing.
In this riveting novel that I could not put down, it drew me to the theme of the book. It is talking about how Trevin laying down his life to win the heart of the princess. In this case, it is the prince charming that is trying to win a girl's heart.
