| Hello all, its been awhile, but, I really just don't care.
I'll space these out as fat as I like, thankye very much. Well, that was a
great intro...
School is moderately interesting. I actually skipped a chem. lab last week and never
bothered to make it up, and the teachers aide doesn't seem to care at all. In
biology we are doing some really sweet stuff with nerve responses and the
physiology of certain types of nerve cells, mostly taste, smell, and other
chemoreceptors. I think photoreceptors would involve physics above and beyond
the knowledge of about 80% of the class so, while that would be more
interesting, I'll leave it be.
In good school news I just got a solid A on a theology paper. Not an A-,
or a 97%, a freaking 100% A. I feel pretty good about it. I would read his
comments on it but the handwriting is seriously just up and down scribbles, no
loops for p's, or g's or anything, so unless he avoids letters in script that
involve looping, this is totally not English.
Not a lot of extra-school stuff going on right now. Cubbies are looking okay,
despite Prior and Wood's conditions. Smoked my first cigar the other day, for
some kids birthday, and I went out and got a pretty nice one, so it was quite a
pleasant experience. The other guys were complaining the whole time that their
50cent cigars tasted like crap, but mine, very nice.
Oh, and I shaved my head. Not bic-ed mind you, just a nice #3 all over. I look
like a soccer hooligan now, which was pretty much the appearance I was shooting
for.
Till whenever, bonne nuit...

To be blunt, this week is pretty much killing me, Emotional,
physical, and social rollercoaster the whole way through. I've got a massive
Animal Biology Mid-term, (a true mid term, it counts for half of the exam
grade,) tomorrow, and it’s kind of hard to concentrate on all the little
freakin’ details that show up on the tests he gives. The curves are crazy as
well, to testify to the difficulty: a 40% on the last test was still a D. To
top that I have a lovely religion paper due the day after. Fun fun fun fun fun...
On the brighter side Jabes came up for the weekend so he, Frian, and I had some
pretty good times. Lots of goofing around, betting people in poker, you know...
the, uh, usual. Saw the Libertine, which was pretty good as far as a
performance from Johnny D, but I don't know about the rest of the movie, or if
it had any redeeming merit.
The one thing really cheering me up is listening to good ol' DMB. Particularly
"The Stone", my favorite song, on my favorite album, of my favorite
band. So to quote with attention given to tenses:
"I've had this creeping, suspicion that things here were not as they
seemed...
I was just wondering if you'd come along, hold up my head when my head won't
hold on
I'd do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go... I will go alone..."

| So happy March 1st to everyone. I hope spring is approaching as fast for you as it is for me. Track is really starting to get tiring... I crashed for 2 hours afterwards and missed the Duke FSU game, which was on TV while I was sleeping, so that was kinda dissapointing. But it was astonishing that I could sleep on the floor of my room in the first place, for just today my roommate and I actually cleaned up a little, ncluding vacuming even. My what a diference about an hour of work will do for one's satisfaction with one's living quarters. (C'mon, we've all had that, "I just finished cleaning my room and boy do I feel like I accomplished something" feeling...)
And now for the second half.
Between writing these two portions I read about 150 pages of Christian Theology for a test (today as it were). Tons of stuff about scripture and the historical methods of interpretation, as well as the role of experience and tradition in the christian life. Fascinating stuff, except I'm darn tired and in no mood to finish my studies as of now. So it seems that I'll have to get up bright and early, and hopefully refreshed, so that I can actually put this stuff together into come coherent format.
'night chaps, (and chap-esses I guess...)

| Hey People, hows it going? Good to hear, me too. Calvin is as broing as ever... it was their homecoming week, and I pretty much didn't even know until just before the game saturday, as I went into the fieldhouse to work out. Work is purely okay: its easy, good hours, and good pay, so I really can't complain. Except for the smell. Working at a Pizza Hut will have you coming home smelling like sauce and cheese, which can be quite nausiating let me tell you.
On a different note I finally watched the Ghost In The Shell moive that my pal across the hall has, and it was freakin sweet. The whole series has a theme of "what does it mean to be human, and what distinguishes us from animals." (or machines, à la Descartes.) Needless to say it was freakin sweet, and I highly reccomend it to any fans of the show on [adult swim].
T&F is still going great. We have had a few indoor meets, which I wasn't able to run in because of work and my high school's homecoming, but the indoor meets aren't very important anyway. (And all the split times would be different because of the short track with more turns, which are harder to run and result in slower times...) But one fella did manage to qualify for NCAA finals already with a huge shot throw.
Thats enough for now, cheerio.

| So this is it, my first blog. Seems alright, still feelin it out, checkin all the bells and whistles... So college is getting a little less boring and a little more strenuous. I have an Animal Biology test on friday, and they are supposed to be hard as heck, exactly how hard that is is yet to be determined...
Had my first day of work at Pizza Hut today, (or, The Crapshack as we, well, I like to call it). It was okay, the people are nice enough, I mean, this is Michigan. The work is mindless and boring, and every little thing has to be done to certain standards, but hey, its money. And I don't think I'll eat Pizza Hut pizza ever again after what I've seen after one day. I'll still eat the breadsticks though... golly jee are they super...
Winter Olympics Update: Been watching hockey on CBC (Canadaian TV what-have-you that we get at Calvin for no good reason...) and mad props to Slovakia for sticking it to the Russians. And the Latvian team is way stronger than I would have thought...
