Today Jordan and I picked up our cap and gowns from the book store (cost us $50+! but they seem nicer than the plastic high school ones) and got our graduation tickets from the service desk.

My list of tasks  to complete before the end of the term is shrinking as well, slowly but surely. From an original 20 items as of last Sunday down to 15 right now. This leaves me with

• Four Papers
• Two Quizzes
• Two Exams (only one finals week!)
• Some flash grammar tutorials
• Some web code
• one set of online discussion participation

Thats it!

My application is also now complete over at Bethel Seminary. I should be hearing back this week from the sounds of it so I’ll be sure to post up here when I hear back!!

God Bless,

I’m back at school now and it’s all good. Finally saw ned again today, it was weird to not see him once over break. However I need to be willing to do what he needs, not what it is I desire. I have no idea what’s going on or what he’s going through and that’s something I need to learn to accept. It’s hard for me since he was the closest thing I’ve ever had to a best friend.

Other then that, it was really nice to get back and see everyone again. Not having classes tomorrow is also a very nice perk, still gotta get over to walmart for a couple things (mainly milk and pop). I hope that everyone is having a great time back at school second semester. Mine is really turning out to be awesome and I’m really excited for it (after all it won’t be hard to top last semester emotionally).

Lets here a heck yea for over 100 entries, I need to find more to do….

Take Care and God Bless,

Semester one is complete and I’m just waiting until I head for home (in about four hours). Finals we’re as hard as everyone seemed to make them out to be, maybe after getting further into the program they will become harder for me. I did only have one test, two portfolio reviews, a semester project and a written portfolio submission to do. Somehow it seems like more when I write it all out like that though.

I’m looking forward to a short stint away from stout. The lack of homework will be greatly appreciated and will allow me time to do other things that I really want to do.

So my RA just walked in and now I have a single room for next semester. Part of me is disappointed that it didn’t work out with ned and me but there comes a time when you need to do what is best for yourself. This is what is best for me. I guess I might come off like a jerk to one of the people who I used to conceder my first true best friend, but he’s changed and I guess to an extent I have as well. We grew apart and he has a different concept of what he is looking for right now then I do.

Well I’m gonna hit the showers and then start packing my stuff up for the break. I’m still not sure exactly what to bring home or what to keep here. Should be a good time for sure… and coming back here to my own room (it still baffles me how he didn’t get the director of Res Life to understand his view point, I talked to him for about five to ten minutes, held my ground and he indirectly agreed to my terms. Jason had even already received a roommate which changed and ned is going there now. How ned wasn’t able to accomplish that I don’t know)

I don’t know if I will be able to make another entry before I leave for utah tomorrow or not. I’m really looking forward to spending time with my dad, It seems almost as if in the past few months he’s had some internal revelation and I’m very excited about it. I’m excited at the prospect of really getting to talk with him, then there is the skiing which is just going to be fun. We’ve been smack talking each other for weeks, I’m just gonna feel bad when he doesn’t get a chance to catch his breath. Although I won’t say anything when he blames it on the altitude.

take care and God bless your soul,

Recently this subject has repeatedly surfaced and I figured I would just write out my thoughts the best I could on it. I hope that you all can follow my ramblings and me for the next while.

//Second Essay for English

The idea of natural rights philosophy, though thousands of years old in thought, is just as applicable today. Mankind is in constant need of governance and order, the origin of which is based within our governments and the concept of natural law and tolerance. The power those governing bodies attain comes from both the governed and from a divine source, and both of those sources are required for fair governance.

I have a whole box of easy mac in my closet. I always seem to forget that it’s there, which makes sense because I don’t really like it. Isn’t it funny how stuff like that happens.

I still haven’t registered and the stupid website still isn’t loading. Yay for technology!!

well I’m off to try it again. wish me luck!

//the first essay i wrote for english

Standing under a gentle drizzle with the air not yet brisk upon exposed skin Mike walks out onto the pavement with an upward glance to the street lamp, starting to bring conclusion to his evening. With hidden twilight on the brink of the passing dusk, he recedes back on his way, back to errands and daily life. Watching him disappear brings closure to discussion over coffee. This opens the future realization that this gentle rain will continue on my walk home. Granting me time to reflect over the muses of his mind, and insights into his life. Tonight I was given a glimpse into thirty-six years of thought from this shaggy brown haired, browned eyed man with a love for the arts. (more…)
