Well... this is my last intern diary. I know I've said this before, but I feel like this internship has flown by! We are finalizing the issue at this very moment and I am so excited to see the fruits of our intense and tiresome labor. I don't know what God has in store for me next, but whatever it is I know that my time here at HM has prepared me for it. I have learned so much about writing and everything magazine, but most importantly I have grown spiritually. I am so appreciative for my time here and for Doug puting up with all of my ignorance! Thank you Doug!! And thank you to all of you who actually read the crap I write on here ;)

Well, deadline is tommorrow and so is my last day here at HM
:( Doug and I are working the night away to get everything finished.... so much to do, so little time (sigh).

During my internship here I have been reading through the book of Psalms. The psalms have always been a source of comfort and inspiration, but yesterday I found such direct affirmation and comfort in chapter 119. The entire chapter is extremely uplifting, but verses 71-77 spoke to me specifically. Here is a paraphrase: "It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees. The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.... I know , O Lord, that your laws are righteous, and in faithfulness you have afflicted me. May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant. Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight." Honestly, this is a hard verse to swallow. Praise God for our afflictions?? I guess I could reference the entire book of Job, but I want to follow a different vein. In Luke 22:31-32 Jesus says, "Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail." The first time Jesus says "you" the original Greek translates it as plural, meaning Jesus was speaking to all the disciples. The second "you" is directed at Simon (Peter) specifically. Look at the wording closely. Satan has asked to sift all of the disciples, but Jesus only gives him Peter. When you think of being sifted I think its easy to think of it as a good thing, as only getting rid of the junk so that we can see the "gold" more clearly. But, think about it. You're getting rid of something... some part of you. It's never easy to change. I think Jesus gave Satan Peter because he thought Peter could handle it, that his faithfulness and devotion was strong enough, that in the end he would come out stronger and more passionate. What does this have to do with be afflicted? Everything. Maybe we should praise God for our afflictions because he is allowing Satan to sift us, so that we become more hungry and passionate for Him. Maybe he knows the sifting will hurt, but he also knows that what we are being rid of will allow us to receive something new and better in the end. Maybe he wants to use this time so that we will learn to find our only comfort in Him and in his laws. The love of God's law is the key to fear and the beginning of wisdom. I don't know... I could be totally wrong... I am just an intern. But I would much rather be sifted and afflicted than remain stagnant in my own sinful filth.

This Easter was probably one of the best Easters my family has had in a while. Honestly, it was so much fun! With the exception of 1 or 2 my entire family was there (about 30 or so of us). My parents have this picturesque property in the country. I really does look like some place torn from the pages of Southern Living Magazine. We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, fished, hunted easter eggs, shot guns, played games, hit golf balls, etc. Everyone loved it. Now, I have shot guns before, but this Easter was my first attempt to shoot skeet. All of the boys were shooting and were pretty good (one of my cousins was a sharp shooter for the army), most of them tried not to laugh when I asked who was going to teach me?? My sister's boyfriend oh so kindly came over and handed me his gun. I am not lying when I say it weighed 25 pounds!! I could barely even lift it up to shoot anything! (I know he gave me that one on purpose because he knows I'm not strong) Of course I missed the target, but I did hit the swing across the pond. Later my brother-in-law let me use his gun which was remarkably lighter. I could easily shoot it, but I never hit any of the discs. All I have left to show for my attempts are a sore and bruised shoulder. I did slightly hit myself in the chin once too, but it didn't leave a mark. Doug may think he's bad for having a bb pistol and killing that possum, but I used the shot guns! I might not be able to hit anything other than a swing, but hey, it was my first try.
3/19
I have spent the majority of today looking through magazines to find potential ads. It makes me feel lazy that all I've done is look through magazines, but I really was working! I kinda like looking through all of the mags; every now and then I'll skim across some band that looks interesting, so I'll look 'em up on myspace or write it down to look up later. We are really coming down to the wire here.... next week it deadline and also my last week here (sigh). I feel like this entire internship has flown by! Well, I hope everyone has a happy Easter this Sunday! Read Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22.
3/17
Happy Saint Patty's Day!! I think this calls for a celebration!! ... and I'm not talking about green beer. Here's a video from Eisley (they're about to go on tour again!) Woo!
3/14
I got a lot done today.... still a lot more to do. This weekend I just want to relax... that probably wont happen, but.... Doug brought me some cool stuff from SXSW this morning: some shirts, a movie, and a year supply of coffee!!! oh yes!! joy of my life! I think I need that coffee right now...or a nap.
3/13
Right now I am eating a spoonfull of peanut butter and typing my diary out to you..... what to say, what to say. Next week I have my Spanish midterm (uh!) I haven't even finished all of my homework; I can't take the midterm! Geez... I have so much to do! We are coming up on deadline fast AND I have midterms and a research paper to finish. What was I thinking? I think I'm craaazy... I think I'm craaaazy (sung like Gnarls Barkley). Well, I'm going home. My sister is makin me some dinner... Yum!!
3/12
Today flew by! Things are on the verge of getting crazy as deadline creeps up on us. So much to do (sigh). Tonight I'm going out with some friends to wish our friend Crystal goodbye. She is leaving for New Jersey on Sunday for flight attendant school. Good luck Crystal!! We will miss you! I'm excited to get to go out with my friends, but I'm more excited about the fajitas I am going to consume! I am in love with Mexican food!!!
3/10
It has been rainy and gloomy all day.... makes me so sleepy. I just want to watch movies and read all day. But that aint gonna happen. I've been writing up the pick of the litter today, and I must say that we have some pretty good picks for the May/June issue.
3/7
This morning when I walked outside everything was covered in ice and snow! It all melted within 30 minutes of the sun coming up, but still.... its Texas and there was white icy substance on the ground! It kind of made me want to go somewhere where there is lots of snow, but then I remembered how much I hate cold weather. I'm more of a sandy beach or lake kind of person. I can't wait until it gets warmer and I can start going to the lake again!! This week is the start of SXSW which = chaos in Austin. It should be fun!
3/5
My mom is here today and I am so excited to see her! I didn't have time to clean up my house this morning before I left, so... sorry mom. Thumper has been very crazy lately. Everytime I come home her little house is flipped over and there are cage shavings everywhere and she always looks exhausted. The other day she scatched me really bad too... right on the wrist! I'm sure it almost got a vein! Shame. I kinda like that she is really mean though.

When I was a kid I only liked to eat really basic things: pbj sandwich, cheetos, pizza, goldfish, apple juice... you get the picture. But, my most favorite thing to eat was a cheesy weenie. 'What is that?' you might ask. Well, first you cut the weenie almost in half length-wise, then you stuff it with cheese and heat it in the microwave. It is so good.... I still eat them all the time! You might be wondering why I am telling you this (other than to give you a new favorite recipe of course). Today I saw some one eating some kind of awful, distored version of the cheesy weenie. The weenie was stuffed with nasty, cheap cheese (yes, I could tell) and mashed potatoes!!!! Sick! Its not just that I hate potatoes, but to see this beautiful and tasty creation maimed was just beyond me! So please, please, please don't put potatoe in the cheesy weenie. Thank you.
Today was also the Texas Primary election. I'll be honest and open here and just let everyone know that I voted republican. If youre a democrat you can hate me... I don't care. I don't even know you. Anyhow, when I walked over to the republican side to vote I never felt so uncool in my life... well, maybe not my life. There was this one time I got pantsed in gym class in 7th grade, but we wont go there today. Everyone there was in the democrat line and they all stared. Geez... I have an Apple computer and I've been the Spider House, what else do you want from me?!

Geez... I can't believe it's March already! Things are starting to come to an end quickly. Doug and I are about to head out of here so we can go do inventory on merch at his house. It will be nice to do something out of the office. The week has just begun, but I already have a packed schedule. My mom is coming to visit again on Wednesday and I'm really excited! Thursday is my friend Danielle's birthday, so we are all going out! She wants to go to an 80's club.... Danielle if you read this I'm sorry... you know 80's and dancing are not my thing, but I love you and I will come happily!! Well all... have a great week and be sure to check the site for a new Bible study coming sometime this week!!! whoo!
2/29
Well, its the last day of February, I've already flipped my calendar to March, and yes, I know I forgot to write an entry for yesterday. Yesterday we had a really amazing Bible study. Doug's parents and Tornado and her friend joined us, so it was really cool to be able to share with everyone and hear what they learned as well. Also, Tornado brought us some pizza and ice cream which was delicious! Today is definitely Friday, and I am definitely ready for the weekend. My thoughts have consumed me today and I can't seem to get very much accomplished. I think I need some sort of spiritual rejuvination... or maybe just a nap. I'm trying to re-write 2 of my reviews, but I am having such a creative writing block! I really want to scream, but I don't have the energy (sigh*). I know I'm pathetic, but we all have those days.
2/27
Geez! Every time Biscuit starts barking and howling it makes me jump! Today he got under my desk... I didn't know he was under there.... he licked my foot and I about peed my pants. Yesterday, Thumper (my rabbit) kept jumping straight up in the air in the same spot over and over.... it was so funny, but no one else was there to see it of course. I don't really know why I'm talking about pets..... I've been working on layouts the past 2 days. Its kinda cool to see all of the work getting put into magazine form, I'm getting really excited about it. Doug told me not to mess anything up, so now I probably will.... thanks for jinxing me Doug. Gah!
C.S. Lewis quote for the day: "This year, or this month, or, more likely, this very day, we have failed to practice ouselves the kind of behavior we expect from other people."

Once again, I don't have too much to say....

It felt so nice to get away this weekend. I got to spend a lot of time with my family; they always make me feel so refreshed and at peace. This morning I was reading an exerpt from The Screwtape Letters and one of the lines read: "When we are wholly His we will be more ourselves than ever." The point CS Lewis is trying to make is that we must "abandon the clamour of self-will" in order to give ourselves completely to God. So many of us believe that surrendering ourselves completely means that we lose something, but actually quite the opposite happens. Once we release ouselves to God, He gives us back all of our personality and makes us better. We aren't losing anything... we are finding ourselves in Him. I can't imagine a more beautiful thing.
"And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." 2 Corinthians 3:18

Fridays are great. They always feel more relaxed and at ease. Doug and I started our Bible study today, we chose to study Philippians. It never ceases to amaze me how God reveals something new and relevant each time you read the Word, no matter how many times you have read a particular passage. I'm really looking forward to this weekend. I'm going home, to Brenham to visit my family! My uncle and his family are coming to visit from Colorado; I haven't seen them in almost a year. Both of my sisters and their husband/boyfriend are coming too, so I'm really looking forward to hanging out with all of them. Ah, family gatherings. My bro-in-law keeps bragging about how amazing he is at shooting guns; this weekend he will be put to the test. I'll let you know the truth on Monday. I can't decide if I need a gun or not. I mean I do own a Red Ryder, but ya know, those are just for show. It stays safely locked away (on the back porch with the bikes)... I don't want to hurt anyone with such an advanced piece of weaponry. My mom gave me some pepper spray, so I guess that'll have to do for now. So watch out!! ....... how did I go from talking about God to guns? Its this crazy rock music I tell ya....
2/21
I just finished listening to the presidential debate that was held in Austin tonight. AAAHHH!!!! I just needed to release a scream. Sorry. I'm not going to say anything about it... its all too controversial. Honestly, I don't like any of the candidates, but who really ever does? I say we elect Doug for President, then Biscuit could be the first dog and HM could host concerts at the White House. Did I mention how tired I was? I didn't go to Spanish today because I was at the doctor for 2 1/2 hours!!! I had to take a urine test too (yuck). The lady at the check-in desk gave me the cup and told me to set it on "the table" outside of the restroom when I was finished. Problem: there was no "table." So, here I am wondering around the hall of the dr. office with my pee in hand searching for "the table." Finally, a nurse came out of an office, laughed at me and pointed me towards a dimly lit room where "the table" was. All of this to find out that I drink too much water which dilutes my pee, so they needed me to take a blood test (ouch). Its been a long day.... now I know why people say 'thank God its Friday.' So, thank God tomorrow is Friday. I think being able to say that makes me a career person (or at least some one looking for a career).
2/20
We had a very busy day today. Doug is trying to sort through the 900 emails he got while he was gone, and he keeps sending me news emails and a bunch of other stuff, so yeah. And I'm not lying about the 900 emails.... its true. Most of today was spent working on entering in subscribers into the online system and setting them up with passwords, and working on the Take Action Tour page... so go look at it. I had a hard time getting pictures up, so appreciate them please.
2/19
Today I finished up the Enewsletter and the News Update. I keep thinking that I am going to get better at this, but every week I undoubtedly screw it up. At least the screw ups are getting more minor.... oh well. Doug is back now and it sounds like his time in Africa was truly amazing and life-changing. If you haven't read any of his blogs you really should. He has some great pictures on there as well. I feel like every day goes by faster and faster. I didn't get finished with half of what I wanted to get finished today. Geez. Which reminds me... we got the new Simple Life in the mail today! You can just go ahead and keep your opinions to yourself on that one. I don't care what you think, that show is hilarious!!
2/15
I forgot to post a blog yesterday so..... Happy Valentines Day! Here is another video for you to enjoy from Josh Scogin of the Chariot...
Now that thats done.... Today has been pretty productive. I finished 2 album reviews and a featurette type of thing, entered a bunch of subscribers into the stystem, and did some other stuff that I dont remember. I can't believe that deadlines are here! This past month has flown by! I'm going to be really sad when next month is over. So, if anyone that reads this is looking to hire some one, I'll need a job in about a month. Right now the office smells like skunk. It has smelled like this for a while, but today it seems worse. I brought a candle into my office, but I've already burned almost the entire thing. I am soooo ready for the weekend. I just want to sleep all day Saturday. I dont know why I have been so tired this week. Maybe its because I already failed at eating healthy.... but it was Valentines Day, and every Valentines you have to eat make-out cookies. You know what I'm talking about.... those pink cookies at the store that are really soft like cake and have pink icing on them with sprinkles. Uh, they are so good. That's why they are called make-out cookies... because they're better than makin' out. You're so freaked out right now aren't you? You think I'm so weird.. you like so want to leave don't you? (Garden State...c'mon!). Anyhow, I'll leave you with that before I say anything else that makes you think I'm more weird than I really am. "I say good day!" (guess what thats from?)
2/13
I am reeeaally tired. I want to take a nap so bad. I don't know why I always stay up too late knowing that I have to get up early. Tonight is going to be a long night too. I have an interview this afternoon and then my friend Lori and I are staying for their show. I'm really nervous, but excited too. This will be my first "in-person" interview. It will be fun..... i hope. I'm going to need a lot of coffee to make it through tonight. Well, I'm off to Starbucks!

Here is a video for you to enjoy!

Today was my first day at the office alone while Doug is in Africa. I really got a lot done today... hmmm... what does that say? haha. His parents are here working on some stuff around the office, like fixing the porch and the fence. They are really sweet people; I'm so glad I get to hang out with them for a week. My mom is coming into town tonight, so we are going to have dinner with all of my sisters. I love it when we all get together, but I think its a little overwhelming to anyone else.
This weekend my friend Lori and I resolved to eat more healthy after we downed a hamburger, fries, shake and a cookie at Fudruckers. I'll keep you all posted on how this progresses. I've done pretty well today so far. And as a side note we did go on a very intense bike ride after that meal.
2/8
Yay! Its the weekend! One of the things that I really like about this job is always finding new music. In most cases, I am usually the last person to find out about bands and what not, so maybe I'm a few years late on this one, but I really like the group Over the Rhine. They are kinda acoustic/folky and thats what I like. If you have heard of them, please feel free to give me the sigh of the music snob, but if you haven't heard them, check 'em out.
Tonight I am supposed to hang out with my sister and I'm really excited! I don't know what we are going to do, but oh well. We'll probably sit around eating chocolate and talking about how we shouldn't be eating this and blah blah blah. Those are my favorite nights.
Doug is leaving on Sunday to go to Africa and I will be here all alone :( I have a ton to do though, so I'm hoping to get a really huge chunk of stuff accomplished while he's gone. Anyhow, please pray for Doug and his wife while they are gone, and be sure to check out his blog. He will be writing during the entire trip, and I'm sure it will be the most interesting thing you'll read all week :)
2/7
Tornado brought more goodies by today!! She made these sugar cookies with m&ms in them that say HM... ha! I thought it was cool.... thanks Tornado! I feel like this week has flown by. I can't believe that tomorrow is Friday. The weather is supposed to be nice this weekend, so hopefully I will get to go on a bike ride to the park. I love doing that; I wish I did it more. I need to clean my house really bad though too. Thumper (my rabbit) poops in all the corners of the house. I am not a dirty person!... far from it, but I just haven't had a lot of time to clean. I try to let Thumper run around the house for a few hours each day, but most of the time that doesn't happen. She is beginning to become hostile when I don't let her out. She shakes the cage and jumps around and makes a mess everywhere. If this is what a rabbit acts like I'm not sure if I want kids. Ha! Well, I still have lots and lots to do... farewell all!
2/6
Today I just want to share something I read this morning:
"All sorts of people are fond of repeating the Christian statement that 'God is love'. But they seem not to notice that the words 'God is love' have no real meaning unless God contains at least 2 Persons. Love is something that one person has for another person. If God was a single person, then before the world was made, He was not love. Of course, what these people mean when they say that God is love is often something quite different: they really mean 'Love is God'. They really mean that our feelings of love, however and wherever they arise, and whatever results they produce, are to be treated with great respect. Perhaps they are: but that is something quite different from what Christians mean by the statement 'God is love'. They believe that the living, dynamic activity of love has been going on in God forever and has created everything else. And that, by the way, is perhaps the most important difference between Christianity and all other religions: that in Christianity God is not a static thing--not even a person-- but a dynamic, pulsating activity, a life, almost a kind of drama. Almost, if you will not think me irreverent, a kind of dance." -- C.S. Lewis (Mere Christianity)
2/5
Today has been a pretty good day. First of all, it was such a pretty and warm day. It makes me so ready for spring! Secondly, I had a Spanish presentation and I think it went pretty well. I would give me an A.
If you read the News Update I'm sorry if there are errors. It is taking me a while to master the coding and layout. I thought I was pretty much finished with it all last night, but I ended up spending probably 2 or so more hours working on it today. I hate it when it doesn't turn out like it should. Geez! Anyhow, Doug gave me a piece of his birthday cake and that made things a lot better. Thanks Doug! Also, he brought us a slot machine to play with... I think I'm ready to go to Vegas again. I'm gonna start saving all of my quarters.
Also... to address the comment below about Freebirds. How can you even compare Freebirds to Quiznos? Freebirds trumps all!!! And they make burritos... Quiznos makes sandwiches.
2/4
Well folks... its official... Waitress has been voted "the best movie to quote" for the month. If you haven't seen it, you need to, it will make you feel good, and want to say: "Woo! Good for you!"
Today, I spent the first half of the day emailing publicists and writers, and responding to other emails. After lunch (an amazing hummus wrap!) Doug and I sat down to go over the Bible study for the past issue. I was so excited to be able to develop a Bible study from the contents of the issue. Its amazing how many discussion topics can be drawn from the articles within the magazine. I love it when you can take current and relevent bands, movies, or issues and turn them into spiritual discussions. John 17:14-15 says-- "I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you would take them out of the world but that you would protect them from the evil one." This verse is so complex and is interpreted in so many ways, but the way I see it, we have been put on this earth for a very specific purpose. As Christians we are surrounded by a world that we ultimately do not belong in, but Jesus clearly states that he desires for us to remain here. Where am I going with this? Well.... all I'm really trying to say is there are so many things out there (Christian and non-Christian) that we can use as resources to direct conversation to the spiritual, we just have to make ourselves available to be used by God. I don't know if I am making any sense... I'm tired, but I had good intentions when I began writing this entry.
2/1
Today has been a pretty slow day, not for lack of things to do, but because our internet is sloth-like. I think Doug broke it. Oh, well its the weekend! Over the weekend I was told to watch a movie called Fletch because apparently its the 2nd best movie of all time. If anyone has seen this movie feel free to leave a comment about it. I don't really have too much to say... I'm kinda out of it... I think I need a nap.
1/31
I dont like Thursdays because I have to go to Spanish... blah. I have so much that I could be doing here, that it makes me angry that I have to go to class. I just keep telling myself that this is the last real class I'll ever have to take in college. woo!
We discussed the May/June issue today, and started making assignments. I have 3 more assignments now and I am really excited about them. I want to write more, but I'm leaving to meet my sister for dinner! She is a great cook, so I'm excited to see what we are having... love you Paige!
1/30
I spent most of today transcribing an interview that Doug did. It was pretty interesting, aside from how badly the person mumbles! I love it though when people refer to TV as an educational resource.... thats nice. Why don't you just come right out and say "I don't really like to read." Its just more honest. That's all I'll say about that.
If you subscribe to the ENewsletter be sure to check out the great C.S. Lewis quote at the bottom of the page! I think I'm going to put a new one in there every week, so look out for it. My friend just gave me this book called A Year With C.S. Lewis, it's so good. Lewis is my favorite author by far, so its been really cool to read little bits from all of his works each day. She also gave me a book by David Crowder called Praise Habit. If you haven't read anything by David Crowder you are really missing out. He is an amazing author and incredibly funny! Praise Habit just takes you through various Psalms and points out all of the different ways that God reveals Himself to us through the glory of His creation, as well as mediocre and unordinary objects that we encounter everyday. I dont know... you should just read it, its good... maybe even great! It wont be on TV, so don't look for it there.

"You think you know, but you have no idea.... this is the diary of Haley Glasco" Today went by pretty fast, but I don't feel like I got a lot done. I worked on the News Update this morning and then went to the airport to pick up my friend Lori!! We got burritos from Freebirds and they were delicious! I gave Doug half of mine because he is a baby and was whining about how hungry he was.... what a sally.
If anyone cares, Across The Universe comes out Feb 5th! This is a great movie, and everyone should see it. Everyone should see Juno too.

Hello all... so this weekend was pretty great; I didn't do too much. My parents and grandma came to visit on Saturday, and we had a lot of fun! My dad and brother-in-law did man stuff most of the day while me, my 2 sisters and my mom and grandma sat around talking and eating half a dish of chips and bean dip... delish!
Today was a very exciting day. I had my first interview! I think it went really well. It made me feel good that the person I was interviewing seemed more nervous than me... I played it cool; I think I sounded pretty professional. (ha! riiight). At first I thought I had been stood-up because they didn't call until 45 min. past when the scheduled time was. But, all went well. I have completed the rough draft of my first featurette... we shall see what Doug has to say about it.
Anywho... this past Christmas break I went on a trip to Israel and Egypt. I am currently writing an article about that for another mag. I've never done a travel piece before, so we'll see how it goes. Maybe I'll post some pics from my trip on here soon. Well, to get my Spanish in for the day.... Adios amigos!
1/25
This morning we started to plan the May/June issue.... its going to be A-mazing! The best ever! I already have a list of a few bands that I will write featurettes on. I'll be honest here, it kinda makes me feel a little anxious when I think about interviews. I always ask and say dumb things. BUT... I will persevere. After all, this internship is about learning and doing new things. If I can master html coding then I can do anything!
Tonight I think I am going to see my friend's band play at some seedy club/restaurant, hopefully it will be fun. If not, maybe I'll just abuse my HM intern power and give them a bad review in my next diary. We shall see....
1/24
So, on Tuesdays and Thursdays I dont get to the office until around 3pm because I am taking this horrid Spanish class.....I haven't taken Spanish in almost a year, so I've pretty much forgotten everything I have ever learned. The prof. speaks in Spanish the ENTIRE class! I have no idea what is going on or if I am supposed to be turning something in. Sometimes I forget to listen because I don't know what is going on anyways. Today, me and the girl I sit next to were talking about "27 Dresses." We were arguing because she thought it was great and I thought it sucked (it does!)... anyhow, we were totally called out in front of the entire class, like 3rd graders, but, I didn't even know how to respond to the prof because I don't know Spanish!.... this is going to be a long semester.
Well, I need to finish stamping some stuff and blah blah blah..... ah! the cat just jumped off the banister and hit my window! Crap! That scared me!
1/23
Today went pretty well. I spent most of the day trying to figure out internet coding (it sucks). But, Doug did bring his dog, Biscuit, and he is precious! He remimds me of Lassi! Today was actually a pretty short day, not much to tell...
1/22
Well... here I am writing my first intern diary at HM. I feel a lot of pressure writing this because it's the first one, so I feel like it should be good. I'll just start out by telling you a bit about ME...
I am a senior at the University of Mary Hardin Baylor in Belton, TX. I know that no one outside of central Texas has ever heard of UMHB, but its there and its small. I am a philosophy/theology major, and I will graduate in May!! I'm excited to graduate, but don't ask me what I want to do next because I have no idea. The day after graduation I am going to the beach... thats about all I know so far.
I am kind of an indecisive person (I have changed my major every semester of college), so I have decided (for the time being) to try out the whole magazine bit. We will see how it goes.... or you can just tell me what you think I should do.
Well... I'm hungry and I need to feed my rabbit Thumper, so... BYE!
You did the photobucket thing! Your new nickname will now be "Photobucket" or "Follower-of-previous-interns" or "Mercy Killer" (that one has a ring to it, huh?).
Welcome to the long line of HM Interns! There's a "Doug Van Pelt Survivors" support group once you're done in case you need it...and trust me, you will... :) Just kiddin'....
Haley Glasco, you are awesome! God has grown you so much---the entry for 3/26 is inspiring! God has amazing things in store for you and the gift He has given you to write.
Hey hey Haley! As odd as this may seem, it is encouraging to know that there is someone out there that is as indecisive as I am about career choices. My problem is I want to do too many things. God will drop something in our laps at some point, I'm sure.:) Have fun during your stay at HM and stay away from Disney Land! That Brother Russel will never die - just ask Doug if you don't know what I'm talking about.
that is awsome what you wrote.. It is also what is in the book I just finished reading as well.. afflictions are to be praised for they bring us to where we NEED God so, very true.. They provide opportunity for us to be more into a relationship with Him and thats what its' all about.. Be blessed..=)
