Service

So, I recently spent a good amount of time one the phone with a guy from Dell who helped me fix my computer. He was definetly a huge help for me was able to help me pinpoint my problem in minutes and find something else that was wrong with it. According to Webster.com, service is: "contribution to the welfare of others." I'd say that was spot on. It's funny how God puts people in your life sometimes and shows you he has a way to fix a lot of life's nuisances. I was so frustrated with my laptop and ready to just go insane but God showed me a lot of humility and control in helping me learn that he was in control and knew what needed to be done with everything. So, here's to Dell, who helped me realize that I'm not in control, but that God is and He's the one who knows everything...not me.

In other non-related news, today was a pretty good day. Music appreciation was easy as usual, but I'm starting to wonder when it will get to something that actually challenges me. I love that it's easy and all but when you give me so much basics it feels like you're draining away my life, give me something to challenge me people! But Bio was great, as usual! Well, it's already awesome cause Lauren is in my class, but it's engaging material. For once, I'm actually enjoying science and not being forced to.

So, the thing that made me smile today? I would have to say a nice guy from dell named Sylvester (yes, that's his name) who worked on my computer today. The man is definetly a blessing to me today. Without him helping me, I would have probably gone insane

Thanks for reading this and have a great day. Oh, one more thing, leave what made you smile today. I love hearing back from yall so leave a nice comment! Thanks for everything

  1. Hooray for your computer getting fixed! Music Appreciation is a pretty awesome class, at least, that's what I thought when I took it. The Romantic Era was definitely my favorite section (look out for "Der Erlkönig"). Let's see, something that made me smile today was split screening. I cloned myself and my roommate, and I disappeared into a box! The video's on facebook, if you're confused by what this means.

  2. Thanks Erin! I'm loving it so far just want it to begin to challenge me a bit. But that's probably going to happen a little later on down the road in this semester.

    I will go check out the video sometime soon!

  3. Der Erlkonig is a great piece of music...depending on how well versed you are with classical music and the composers, identifying composers by how they sound could prove to be a bit difficult (if your teacher teaches this).

    Good luck.
