Bored? What about a book!?

I find myself sitting down late at night being VERY bored! I usually log onto facebook,yahoo, and check my emails. Then after that im bored again!! WHAT AM I TO DO?! Well...its been a while (since winter break) since i'v been able to enjoy a good book. Yes, my friends I mean that dusty thing that sits upon your bookshelf that you never open. Books are a gateway into another world! I'v visited Seattle, Russia, Asia, New Zealand, and far away places without ever leaving my home. They take us to places where dreams can come true, where murder is only the beginning of a mysterious love story, or where vampires can love mortals! Why do so many neglect creations with such a high value? Each book is a masterpiece. It tells a story which entices all the senses. Books love anyone who opens them, and once you crack open that binding, feel the soft paper against your fingers, and smell the freshly printed pages, you know you're in for a true experience that you will soon never forget! Pull up a chair next to the fire, pour a cup of tea, cozy up with your favorite blanket and open a book next time you feel bored. Just give it a shot....see where a stack of words takes you!

Welcome back to Ohio State

WELL, as many of you know, OSU students started classes this week. I didn't want to leave the comfort of my home, my family, and the holiday cheer. Christmas this year was different because we didn't have a tree, but that didn't stop us from having a Christmas to remember. Ever since I was a kid I have gone to candlelight service on Christmas eve. It gives me a chance to really remember what the Christmas season is all about. It is the season of giving, but its also about hope, peace, family, and remembering Christ's birth. During all the busy hustle and bustle this winter, stop and take a chance to relax. Let yourself actually enjoy the snow days, warm evenings inside by the fire, and the comfort of your family.

I actually had a chance to do this and I couldn't tell you the last time I enjoyed winter. Everyone complains about how cold, wet, and miserable it is but honestly its something I now look forward to. Coming back to classes feels miserable, but I don't let it get to me, not by a long shot.
