15 days...

till summer break! I'm pumped and very ready for school to be done this year. I'll miss working with the students at FVCC on the weekends, but at least I'll get to hang out with them for a week at CIY. The end of semester is always the worse, there is the most work to do...and the least motivation...just a couple more weeks...i can do this...

1 month

I've officially had my blog for 1 month now. When I made it, I figured no one would ever go to it or read it, but I've actually be surprised. I've had hundreds of visitors...and from 3 different countries (US, England, Sweden). Views from people in Chicago, New York, LA , Pittsburgh, Atlanta...to name a few. So I don't know what draws people into my blog, but its kinda cool to know that people actually read it.

Free Rice

So if you're like me, you probably spend way too much time on the internet...doing pretty much nothing. But if you have some time to waste online, you should check out FreeRice.com. It's pretty much just a bunch of random questions (english, vocab, math, language, art, etc...) that are pretty easy...and for every question you get right, they donate 10 grains of rice to the UN World Food Hunger program. You may think answering educational questions is boring...but strangely enough, it's really kinda fun and addicting...so check it out. It's like a win, win, win...you get smarter, you cure your boredom, and you help feed starving people. (click here for FreeRice.com)

The Long Fall Back To Earth

Jars of Clay released their new cd today...The Long Fall Back to Earth. I haven't had a chance to listen to the whole thing yet, but so far it sounds pretty sweet. And its Jars, so it can't be bad! You should check it out.

Pirates 10, Braves 0

So being a Pirates fan isn't always the greatest thing in the world...lots of disappointments... I have a good feeling about this season though. Today they beat the Braves 10-0...and yesterday they also shut them out 3-0. I know its still early, but the bucos look good. Team ERA is 2.63 - that's the best in the majors right now...last year they had the highest ERA in the national league. I wonder if they'll actually be able to keep it up and avoid their 17th consecutive losing season...which not only would be a MLB record, but a professional sports record. Pirates = 2009 NL central campions?? Watch out cubbies!

27 days till summer!

So by this time of the school year, I'm always tired and ready to be done. Especially now that the weather is finally nice! Really I'm just ready to be done with school altogether and graduate...but I found out a few weeks ago that I won't be able to graduate next spring as I hoped. Since I transferred I have 3 more semesters and will now graduate after the fall 2010 semester...so that kinda sucks...but what is one to do?? It's not an entirely awful thing though...it gives me one more summer of freedom before I have to get a real job in the "real world".

And on the bright side, I at least get to go to a school with a sweet mascot! (thats what the picture is if you were wondering) How many of you go/went to a school that had a troll as a mascot?? Thats what i thought...ESPN even thinks its sweet...check it out

Lifehouse Everything Skit

So The Outcry tonight (that's the weekly worship service here at Trinity) was awesome. All the songs were really powerful...and then they added in this skit too. I've seen it before online, but seeing it in person was really awesome...check it out

Opening day so close...

So this is a tough part of the year...the gap between football season and baseball season. There is nothing good to watch on TV (there is only so much of the ncaa tournament you can watch...especially when you dont really care about basketball). But Monday the Pirates open up the season against the Cardinals. I'm feeling good about this season...i think we might finally get above .500! The pitching doesn't look too amazing this year, but they have a bunch of good young guys that did well this spring. I'm hoping this is the first year in my lifetime where I can actually see the Pirates do well. Go Bucs!
