I think I might actually update this thing. Especially when I start Smith in the fall. No guarantees though.

Owl & the Pussycat - I Hate the Sun |
] |
Jaren sends me music on AIM, but usually I never get around to listening to any. One of the songs, "I Hate the Sun," gets accidently uploaded onto my iPod. I finally decide to listen to the song Jaren has been bothering me to listen to for days. I must say that this song made me more optimistic despite the melancholy winter days of senior year. Just the melody of the song gives me the connotation that everything is going to be okay. Give it a listen:

Sufjan Stevens - Saul Below |

I miss my dog like this so much that it hurts.
Or maybe my dog's a better excuse for someone I really miss right now. High school sucks without you.

Strict rules govern student life at BJU. [17][18][19] Some of these are based directly on the University's interpretation of the Bible. For instance, the 2005-06 Day Student Handbook states, "Loyalty to Christ results in separated living. Dishonesty, lewdness, sensual behavior, adultery, homosexuality, sexual perversion of any kind, pornography, illegal use of drugs, and drunkenness--all are clearly condemned by God's word and prohibited here." (13) Grounds for immediate dismissal include stealing, immorality (including sexual relations between unmarried students), possession of hard-core pornography, use of alcohol or drugs, and participating in a public demonstration for a cause the University opposes. [BJU Student Handbook, '05-'06, 29] Similar moral failures are grounds for terminating the employment of faculty and staff. In 1998, a homosexual alumnus was threatened with arrest if he visited the campus [20])
But the University frankly declares that many campus rules are biblically based only in general principle. For instance, "[T]here is no specific Bible command that says, 'Thou shalt not be late to class,' but a student who wishes to esteem others more highly than himself will not come in late to the distraction of the teacher and other students." [BJU Student Handbook, '05-'06, 7]
General rules
Freshman and sophomore residence hall students must sign out before leaving campus; students with junior and senior privileges may leave without signing out between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.. Curfew is at 10:25 p.m., and lights must be out by midnight.
Each student is provided with an email account, filtered to prevent questionable content. Using unfiltered wireless internet access via computer, mobile phone, or satellite phone is prohibited for residence hall students. The university provides content-filtered Wi-fi service for student use that blocks pornography, "lurid violence," racial hate, and other "objectionable content."
DVD/VCRs are not allowed in residence halls; DVD players on computers cannot be used for watching films. Televisions may be used only as monitors to play video games.
Students are forbidden to attend movie theaters or, when visiting local homes, to watch any films with a rating higher than a G rating. Residence hall students are not permitted to play, use, or own video games that are rated T, M, or Ao or that include profanity, sensual or suggestive dress, rock music, graphic violence, or demonic themes.
Students may not listen to Country, Jazz, New Age, Rock, Rap, or Contemporary Christian music.
Residence hall students are permitted to work off-campus only until 10:25 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on weekends, and students may not solicit door-to-door without a retail license or clearance from the dean of students.
Male dress code
Men's hair must be traditionally styled with a conservative cut. Hair must not be colored, highlighted, shaved, shelved, tangled or spiked. Sideburns may not reach past the lower opening of the ear. No facial hair is permitted; students must be clean shaven. (Some exceptions are made for older students.)
Men may not wear earrings, necklaces, or bracelets. Tattoos and body piercings are forbidden.
Socks are required at all times.
No hats may be worn indoors except in athletic facilities.
Sunday dress includes a coat, tie, dress shirt, dress shoes, dress or dressier casual pants.
Morning dress consists of a dress shirt (no denim or chambray) with tie, dress or ironed casual pants (no jeans, cargo, carpenter, or sloppy pants), dress or leather casual shoes. Shirt collar and tie knot should show beneath a sweater.
Afternoon dress consists of a collared shirt (no crew necks), neat casual pants, dress or casual shoes (no slippers or sandals). Sweatshirts or sweaters are optional.
Recreation and work dress may include jeans and t-shirts. Sleeveless athletic shirts may be worn during indoor activities only. Shorts may be worn at athletic facilities but not by spectators at sporting events.
Female dress code
General and classroom dress for women is a dress or a top and skirt. Loose-fitting pants may be worn between female residence halls, to athletic events, to local area residences, and when participating in activities such ice-skating, white-water rafting and skiing. Women may never wear shorts outside the residence halls and the fitness center. Hose is required for all professional activities, including class, church, and recitals. Underwear should not be exposed in public, and colored underwear should not be visible through outer clothing.
All clothing should fit correctly without clinging, and there should be at least a 3/4-inch fold of fabric on both sides of the hips and bust. This "ease" may be measured by standing straight and pinching the loose fabric on both sides of the hips and bust line.
The middle area of the torso may not be exposed, and tops must be long enough to meet the top of the skirt or pants.
Sleeveless tops and dresses may be worn with a blouse, jacket, or sweater; otherwise, sleeves are required.
Necklines may be no lower than four fingers below the collarbone--the choice of "four fingers" being only a convenient measurement.
Tops may be fitted, but not clingy.
Hemlines, slits or other openings may never be higher than the bottom of the knee. Denim skirts are allowed for casual dress but not in class or for other professional events.
Shoes such as combat or hiking boots are not permitted.
Hairstyles must be neat, "orderly," and feminine. Masculine cuts and "cutting edge fads" should be avoided.
Tattoos are prohibited. A maximum of two matched sets of earrings are allowed, and they must be worn in the lobe of the ear. Any other body piercings are prohibited.
The University will not allow articles displaying the logos of Abercrombie & Fitch and its subsidiary Hollister to be "worn, carried, or displayed" on campus even if the logos are covered because these companies have "shown an unusual degree of antagonism to the name of Christ and an unusual display of wickedness in their promotions." [BJU Day Student Handbook, '05-'06, 51]
