So I finally fixed my blog, for some reason it has converted a whole bunch of the code into jargon. Most of the tables and the attributes that went along with them were all screwed up and had this <img> tag in between them, which did nothing. So finally got it fixed to how it's supposed to look, so shouldn't look much different from how it looked before.

Today is another session of our Men's group, I expect people there this time as opposed to weeks previous. I'm leading today, a bigger group, and I'm kind of worried. I wanted to talk about adjustment to school. Our group is primarily first year, and what I wanted to talk about is the changes they have gone through. And also, the things we expected to happen going into the next step and how reality has changed. So the purpose of all this is to realizing the changes, adjusting to them, and organizing your life accordingly.

I think going into University you have a lot of expectations. You think it's a girl-haven, it might be easy breezy for work part, you have tons of time. Yet, so many expectations we have are not true. One of the biggest thing one can learn in University is Time Management, and I think that is the one thing the first year's in our group have a problem with. I know this because hardly anyone after coming a few times at beginnning can commit anymore to coming to our Men's group regularly, because they have to catch up on their work. It's an expendable event in their books. So I hope to work on that.

Tomorrow, at fellowship, I will be leading the Bible Study. It scares my in a way, because I have never led Bible study before in my life. I don't know how I got away from it, but I managed to do so. So we have been studying this book on Spiritual gifts, and so I kind of forgot about it for a while until yesterday so I decided to read the passage last night. I read about three versions of it (NIV, NLT, and NASB), and I noticed how many more footnotes there were for the NASB version. I went to google, and searched in the newsgroup for discussion about this passage, and I found a breadth of information, more than I wanted, cause each one was like ten pages. So pray for that, cause I have no idea how that will go. We're reading Acts 1:1-13 and Acts 2:1-11.

I was talking to one of the testers the last couple of days. He is relatively new to the company and he is from China. So I have been askig questions to get to know him. So I was asking him about the work over in China, and one of the things I asked was the pay. He told me that they pay is relatively the same as it is here. He worked for Motorola, and because it's a foreign company, the pay is almost the same is as it here. I was rather surprised with this because the standard of living there is so much lower. So you'd come out with a greater net income. It kind of brings new thought into my hope that one day I can go back and work there for a period of time. But I know I wouldn't want to live there indefinately, the Western World just has too many good things.

Watched American Idol last night and the night before. There was a poll for the viewers asking which of the judges do you most agree with in their analysis. And the winner was Simon Cowell, the one whos is rude. However, even though he is rude, he is usually right on the dot, he tells it as it is, and no matter what, it's usually right. Paula on the other hand I find is always the one wrong if there ever was one wrong. She is too nice, and can't just say, you suck.

I don't know what happened this weekend, but my Ping Pong game got much better over the weekend. It was like a miracle, it just happened. However, it is still inconsistent, as I have yet to win a game. But my shots are much harder to return, although still doable. Gotta keep on practicing.

Watching Smallville this week, I keep on wondering what's going to happen. So many more people know of Clark's power now. Lionel Luther must know, cause he's not blind! So he must of seen Clark with his powers when he and Martha were captured. Additionally, the pretty doctor who is going out with Lex must know a lot now, cause she got some of his blood. And the fact everytime Lex is in her office, I get scared he's gonna find out. And what was with that ship last episode. How can it go into flight in the air, lights and everything, and nobody see it? That is so unreal, this is a hospital, people are always walking in and out! And how come nobody questioned that strike of energy that sweeped through the hospital? It's obvious everyone felt it, cause they were blown away from the energy. And how come it only healed Martha, how does the ship know to ONLY heal Martha, and nobody else. I think it would've healed everyone in the hospital, which would be a miracle. So many questions and possibilities. And I can't believe Clark called out Lana's name after Chloe poured her heart out to him while he was unconscious/sleeping/whatever. "She is the girl of his dreams and he does know know it." Sure, they are both pretty, but come'on, choose one already.
