week 1, semester 2

well, im back. Spring break was great. spent lots of time with friend and family. upgraded my computer. slept more than 5 hours a night.

My section has decided to go get coffee in town tonight. we have group projects to work on so it works out well.

Nick, a friend on my dorm wing, got a Wii. its addictivly fun, not that we play it much being that we dont have a TV to hook it up too, but when we do...

well, i have to go get ready to go. sorry for the lack of content.

2 too go

Lab and philosophy are my only finals left.

Theology and Seminar were both extreemly good. i think i did very well on both.

we studied philosophy (myself and 3 classmates) for 4 hours last night. we will likely pull something similiar with Lab today. its intense but its amazing how much you can learn in that much time.

well, not much else to say. hope your all having a good last few weeks of school.

THE FINALS ARE COMING!!!

freshmen actualy have it pretty easy as far as finals go. im only really worried about Philosophy, and a little about Lab. i understand lab, theres just alot of content to remember.

Theology shouldnt be hard, we dont have to be right, we just have to support ourselves and provide a complete arguement. its really a test to see if we know our way around the bible somewhat.

Seminar is a 15 minute oral exam. I'm actualy looking forward to that one. Mr. Goyette is an interesting guy to talk too.

Philosophy.......... sigh.... its not supposed to make sense i think. there is an abundance to remember. we already spent over 5 hours in study groups studying it and were only about 1/2 done with the review sheet. gonna be interesting. luckily its not till friday so we have lots more time.


Best of all by far though, we dont have math or latin finals :) next year, but not this year. YAY!

I thought that i would point out for those that know him that monarch (AKA Jeremy Graham [sorry if i mispelled your name]) has started posting again! http://greatmonarch.blogspot.com/ For those who want to read (Which should be lots of you!)

Its a little odd (not that I mind) that I got three comments on the same day several days after I posted (comments are good, very encuraging to posting). I guess sunday nights are just a popular time to read things online.

we officaly canceled martial arts club till after break. Tonight a number of the members had other plans (including myself) and next week I imagine studying for finals will prevent most people from coming.

And now I must use my blogg to evangelize for the nintendo Wii. (I would evangelize for real, but to the best of my knowledge everybody who reads this is already christian, so I can just make you buy more time wasting gaming hardware). this article was in the new york times a week ago.

"More important, I have already seen the Wii appeal to people who would never pick up an Xbox or PlayStation controller. At Thanksgiving at my aunt's house in New Jersey, there was my 59-year-old stepfather, who hadn't touched a video game since Pong, locked in a tight golf match with my 21-year-old cousin. There was my aunt clamoring for her turn. And most shocking, there was my mother, 61, whom I had been trying to get into video games for two decades, playing tennis so vigorously she bruised her finger."

Universal apeal is very cool. I have to try one of those on my parents :-p the ultimate test.

Well, im gonna head off campus for a couple hours with my friend steven. were going to his sisters house, i dont know why, he didnt say, but its always fun over there. (the little kids running around underfeet reminds me much of my house. except nobody is that little anymore.)[yes, this is a different font, i cant figure out how it got changed]

hours till xmass break that is. there kicking us out of the library so i have to run but i thought i would post something.

we all went home for thanksgiving and it was alot of fun. its addicting though, i cant wait to go back.

i passed the algebra enabling exam.

gotta run.

2 days!

2 Days till we all go to my house for thanksgiving weekend. Im personaly looking forward to this very much.

the sad part is that with less than 4 weeks left in the symester finals are starting to loom...
that and we have a paper due this sunday.

well, not much else to report, dont think i have many readers right now anyways. prove me wrong, leave lots of comments.

really old shirt

well, the subject might infer I dont have much to say............. and this is true. I was thinking about how old the shirt I was wearing today is (all sorts of new shirst and i still wear that one, I simply like it) as far as i can figure ive had it since i was 11, which makes it 8 years old.

in much more significant news, the ceiling of the current chapel (not the one their building) has been proclaimed structuraly unsound and all masses are being held in the library for the next 2 weeks.

I finished making plans for thanksgiving on this end (that being the school: namely making sure my work study wont miss me and procuring tranportation to and from the trainstation for the three of us). cant wait to see everybody in San Diego, this is the longest amount of time lucas and i havent played video games together in the last 10 years at least ;)

were reading Galen's "On the natural faculties" in science this week, he reads like something of a cross between an abnoxious salesman, a frustrated teacher and a spoiled little kid. its painfull to say the least. and worse, the topic is an arguement that the kidneys have an inate atraction to urine in order to draw it out of the blood. complete with graphic explenations of the disection of living creatures urinary tracts. yay.

I formated my computers hardrive and rienstalled windows, everybody should do that on a yearly basis (which does require having a data drive seperate from your OS drive) it runs so much better afterwards.

yup, thats all for today, off to do latin homework.
