I’m thinking about going to breakfast tomorrow. I’m not sure. There is person here trying to convince me that I should eat something in the morning. He tells “it makes your day go better.” hhm.. I don’t know about that? So, I’m holding a tennis ball, it’s from New York. I got it in my mailbox the other day. It’s fun.

Well, schools good I guess. I studied for my history quiz this evening with a couple people from school. It was good. So things are good. I bought some new pants. Anyways, I drank about a Grande size coffee a little bit ago and now I’m wired and stuff. I’m feeling good. I gotta tell ya. hehe.. oh man, I love it. I really am all hyper and stuff, but I just can’t settle down. I love life. I really do. I gotta tell ya. I love it. It so much better to exist than not to exist. It’s great in fact. ok bye.

Ok, so I had a ton of homework and I couldn’t make it back on here? I mean, I fell asleep really early and didn’t wake up in time to turn on my computer?.. or.. ahh, it’s useless. I have no excuse for this amount of time passing without telling everyone about me and my life, and everything makes up a Shay.

I don’t really know what to say. I mean, it’s been a pretty long time and I’ve forgotten so much. But I will try to fill you on things. First, my classes are going swell. I was having some problems with one of my classes and I started praying about it and this last Thursday was the best time I’ve ever had in that class. It was really a blessing. Uh?.. for those of you who don’t know I’m taking 13 units at The Master’s College here in Santa Clarita. I live off-campus in dorms/apartments. I am taking Christian Theology 1, New Testament Survey 1, World History 1, and World History 2. Let’s just say that I have a ton of reading and leave it at that. But it’s going really well.. things are looking up!

I think right now I just want to take some time to share something with you guys. For those of you that are Christians, I just want to challenge you to take a deep look at your life for a second. Make sure you are on the right track. If you don’t have a daily quiet time, get one! If you aren’t praying like you should be, THEN PRAY! Is it really that hard? haha.. I laugh because, yes, it is that hard. I mean, it really isn’t, but just a few weeks ago I thought it was impossible to get back on track in my daily devotions. But I am now, that is, I’m back on track. And I have really seen God working on some sin on my heart. I would hope that you Christians are really living it. Let’s do this thing, there’s only just a little time left. For those of you who don’t know the Lord, well, let me know. I will talk with you, I will pray for you. There is something I want to tell you about, just give me an email shay@shaycam.com ok?.. you kids are great. Thanks for your support.

ps. I’m a poor/starving college kid now, send me money! hehe..

It’s been about a week now, and things have been crazy here. My life has gone up and down and all around and pretty much has had me so confused I really didn’t know what to do. The only that I knew (and I must admit that it was hard for me to see this at first) was that God was in control. But I’m down at college, and things are going good.

I’ve been showing everyone here the cam and letting them get their pics on it and stuff, so that’s pretty cool. I will post those as soon as I get a chance. Everyone has been awesome here and a ton of fun. Last night a bunch of people came to our place and they cooked food in our kitchen, and then we played “Battle of the Sexes” and “Cranium” in the living room, it was a good time. My team lost horribly, but it’s ok I guess, who’s keeping score anyway? :)

uh?.. Last night, after everyone left I hung out with some cool, rockin’, awesome guys that live next door to me. We just played guitar and sang, and I really enjoyed myself. I was supposed to be at work at 4:30 this morning, but my alarm didn’t go off and I was late by like a half an hour. It really stunk to say the least. But my boss is awesome, and I have a good track-record (cause I’ve never been late). uh?.. so, here I am. so I am going go.. bye.

I know it’s been a few days since I last wrote you kids. But it really hasn’t been my fault. I really don’t even know when I am going to be able to upload this to the internet yet, so bear with me while I wait for my new school to get their wireless internet cards installed in our computers.

So, I moved this weekend. I moved down to my college. Can you believe it? It’s crazy! I wish you guys could come check out my new place, it’s so stinkin’ rad!!! I can’t wait to get some more photos of my place on here! The move itself was kind of sad, my parents cried a little bit, I cried a little bit, and it was just kind of sad. But it’s ok, it will work out somehow.

But getting back, this dorm is SWWEEEET. It’s called Oak Manor, and Master’s (my college) bought an older apartment complex and completely remodeled them! THEY ARE BRAND SPANKIN’ NEW!!! It’s so cool, they are full equipped with heating and air-conditioning and a new gear including: stoves, dishwashers, sinks, bathrooms, kitchens!!l, carpet, walls, paint, and anything else you could think of. These aren’t even dorms for crying out loud, they’re bizzzad!! haha.. But anyways, I really like the new pad, let me tell ya.

I am really tired right now, I haven’t had much time to take a nap or anything, it’s been kind of hectic around here. They have us running around doing stuff, and taking tests and having fun, and eating food, sort of like camp! (minus the two tests I took :( ) But this is it. I’m here.

I had to call my work today and tell them my new schedule, I felt kind of bad because my boss has to really work around my new availability, and he didn’t really sound to happy about it on the phone. But he’s a really cool guy, so it’ll be ok I’m sure. Oh, and another thing, I really really really really really like this school. I know I’m going to love it here. I’ve already started hanging out with the guys from my dorm and they are really cool. They all love God and desire his will for their lives, it’s really amazing! But that’s life right now, so I am going to find something to do. I don’t have to do anything until 4:45 today, so I need to find something to occupy my time. Maybe I’ll take a nap!?!? hhm.. whatever, bye.

Well, I’m back. I am currently sitting here at my work on my 30 minute break. I work at Starbucks as most of you know, and I just recently transferred to a store near my college.. my college of which I will be moving to on Saturday. Can you believe it? Oh!! I almost forgot, the reason I am sitting here in work is because I am using my brand spankin’ new Dell Laptop!!! Oh man, I love it, I really really love it. The best part is I am take shaycam anywhere I want now. As soon as I get it set up I am going to have “Shaycam: The College Years” or something like that. Hopefully it will work out. I’m sure it will..

It’s tough to understand how things work these days. As I sit here only 45 minutes from my house, I think about the kids that will be at college and be thousands of miles from their families. That could be lonely if you are really attached to your parents, you know what I’m saying?

You know, I’ve always wanted to do this. I’ve always wanted to sit in a Starbucks and just type away at my very own laptop. It just seems like something out of a movie. Just seems like the classy thing to do. I like classy things. Speaking of that, the other night a few of my friends and me (a total of 4) got all dressed up like prom-style and went to City-Walk in Universal City. It was awesome. No joke, we were stylin’. But anyways, we had lots of fun.

Right now my timer says 7:37 and counting down. So that means I only have 7 mins and 37 seconds to chat away to you people. Some lady just ordered a “Venti Coconut Crème Frappuccino” with 2 add shots of Espresso. I just thought I’d tell you that in case you were looking for a fun drink to share with your friends. Ok, I’m not saying that I’ve tried that drink, but.. ahh nevermind. I’m outta here. Peace out kids..
