"I'm Counting on God"

This is a song by The Desperation Band which states that in every day of our lives, our focus should be on God. Not only that but we should be able to know that He is everything and He'll back us up. That;s pretty much my sense this week and God taught me through a sermon on Sunday that in times of trouble, we shouldn't complain nor say our emotions! Why is that you ask? Because expressing our emotions gives a weapon to the enemy to plan his next move and annihilate us. But the Lord also hears our complaints and He grows tired of them after a point too! After all, trials are supposed to make us stronger and He knows that the situations He puts us in will makes us better. So, lesson of the week: my master's is in His hands. My life is in his hands. This Thursday will be the ultimatum and if I get in, cool; if I don't, cool too. My world won't collapse, it will be stronger and wiser whether I get in or not. Faith is the certainty of the things we cannot see. If we ask something to the Lord He'll give it to us, but there is a catch: if He understands that it won't benefit us, He won't give it. But if He thinks it'll make us better, then He definitely will!Well, dudes, peace and GBU!

School is... Yeah LOL

Hey!

Things are starting to look harder and harder when it comes to school, considering my next week which I hope goes well. I'm supposed to be used to school being difficult, but I want to dedicate some of my time into other things as well. It's my last semester as an undergrad and I REALLY want it to be memorable. I also want to spend some time with my boyfriend, who is also busy with school. But most important I don't want to lose my cool and have a nervous breakdown. It's not fun. Therefore, I am definitely thinking of getting a massage this semester to deal with stress. This will probably be me in the massage table lol

Emergency!

This post is brought to you with an important message worth of posting a post today. UF committee will decide the applications in exactly 2 weeks from today! That means that I'll know if I got accepted to UF two weeks from now! I am excited, scared and nervous at the same time... This is dreadful! But I believe in a God of miracles that can totally bust and change people's emotions and reasoning to accept me as a graduate student. I mean, they accepted me as a transfer two years ago, why shouldn't they do something like that again? But at the same time, I will admit that I am scared because my GRE scores are not added up to their standards and my GPA is below 3.5... but I have progressed as a linguist and individual! I took a grad school class, I'm in my second class in what I want to study and I'm working for a professor doing things that I will most likely do in the future. Yes, I don't have another specification besides Language Documentation yet, because I love words and want to specialize in Morphology as well as Language Documentation and I didn't want to do that if I never took a morphology class before until now. I tried to go into syntax and phonetics, but I cannot cheat on Morphology, it's too dear to me lol I used to dream that I would travel around the world looking for the significance and history of one words, or in other words, be a historical linguist. But I just wanted the words part. and when I saw language documentation I saw that they needed ppl to actually go out there and research. Not only that, but Central American Languages are right there and I didn't want to go anywhere else, I wanted Indians that were already fighting for what they believed and needed help. I know that God's plan for me is to spread the need to go out there and document languages so we can analyze them and come up with a good resource that other can use to translate bibles and reach new people for Christ. I know this whole plan sound nuts, but is what I got in my heart and what I want to do... I hope the people in the Linguistics committee can see that and add me to the 15 to 20 people they'll accept into their program. No, I KNOW the people in the Linguistics committee will see that and add me to the 15 to 20 people they'll accept into their program. That;s the Spirit!!

Work and Homework

Hey,

Well, studying is not going according to plan right now in the sense that I'm not studying almost AT ALL!!!!!!!!!! I have a test in exactly 2 weeks, a homework due this week, another one due Monday and another one for practically the next fridays for A WHILE... At least I'm learning in the class that I actually wanted to take, even though it got super complicated in about half an hour XD of course.. Welcome to Linguistics lol

This is what I'm learning in the class that I love: morphology= study of words :)

Of course, this is syntax (the study of sentences) and this way it's easy to analyze them.. but we do the same thing with words! It's super cool! XD

Work in the Life

Hello, I have been thinking about what's like to balance God, school, family, a boyfriend and myself efficiently. As school gets harder, family get a bit more demanding and a relationship worth praying and fasting for, it is difficult to find time for God and think about his mercy. Not only that, but life gives you so much stress that sometimes you forget about yourself! So today, take some time for yourself and more importantly, God.

First Week of School!

First Week of School and I am not very motivated.. but we'll see.. Dragging myself up to classes will be the norm until further notice lol I must feel pumped!! ... Nop, I'm not lol

My GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hello 2012! Awesome year of great promises, growth and good things to come. Guess what? God gave me a boyfriend for Christmas! I'm incredibly happy for that and grateful beyond degree... But 2012 will bring that Master's acceptance to UF once and for all!! Happy New Year!
