Wow so much is going on. I'm staying afloat with school work, which is a miracle. I should be ok for graduation. This is week is going to be hard because I have to write a 15 page lit review, which is going to take a lot of work. I will probs have to shut myself off from my friends to do it. So see you guyz later.

I got a bike for my graduation present. It's a fixed gear track bike. Bike of my dreams, basically. Which is going to make it hard to focus on school, cause basically I just want to ride it all day. I'm so glad I have it, cause now I dont have to walk anywhere, and I can explore the city again.

Getting work done is also going to be hard because I just want to hang out with my new awesome friend, Karen. She is my special friend. Love to hang out with her and sing copeland songs really loud too and talk about life and struggles and drink tea together. She's another reason I want to stay in Milwaukee. I really hope I haven't made so many awesome friends and relationships just for me to leave them. I'm really praying God would have a place for me here. I really feel that this is the place for me to be.

There is a constant struggle between emotions and truth. I want to rely on my emotions, but that usually doesn't end well. I may feel like Milwaukee is the place for me to be. But if God is calling me somewhere else, I may be blind to that as a result. I want to follow Him, and not my emotions. So I'm left just feeling confused. We'll see what happens.

My bike, yo.

Veggie Bus and mewithoutYou

Haha Aaron Weiss is so cool!

BH: And could you talk about how your tour bus runs for a minute?

Aaron Weiss: Yeah, it runs on vegetable oil, which we get from restaurants when they’re done frying food in it. We collect it, and then we filter it and heat it, and we put it through our diesel engine, which is what the diesel engine is built for. Right now, most of them run off petroleum-based diesel, of course, and we know that that’s running out. And, also, we hear that there are wars being fought over who has control of oil, and that’s another thing that I don’t want to be a part of. At present, I don’t think there are any wars being fought over waste vegetable oil.
