OK, so I'm embarrassed

I think I kind of forgot about the blog. I need to apologize to you, my faithful readers, and you, my readers that occasionally look and have seen this post for the last 3 weeks.

So, for starters, I mentioned in my last post about a Geneva football game. They won. :D

It's the fourth week of classes. I've had 3 different exams so far in 3 different classes. I know I did very well on one of them, but since one was about an hour and a half ago, and the other was yesterday, I don't know how I did. I'm guessing I did fine, but of course I don't know for certain.

I'm really having fun in most of the classes. They're intriguing. I don't necessarily agree with everything my professors say, or everything written in the textbooks, but whatever I hear/read, it makes me think. Think critically. Think carefully. I'm enjoying it. Too bad I couldn't just go to class and not have homework... :D

Oh well. The homework isn't bad. I've had a bit of writing, which is something I've never enjoyed. However, I'm getting better as I practice more. At least I have lots of opportunities for practice. :P

The food here isn't bad at all. A lot of the time, I eat at this place on campus called the Brig, mainly because their subs are stupendous. I get pretty much the same thing every time, and a couple of the workers are already able to make my sub mostly from memory. :D

Dorm life is certainly different than living at home. It's taken a bit of time to get used to, but I think I'm mostly adjusted by now. It's certainly great to have the sense of community that I do with the other guys on my floor. It gets a little "wild" at times, but oh well. Nothing bad, just wild. :P

A couple Saturdays ago, I went with a couple friends up to the G. Basically, this is a big white G on the ridgeline on the other side of the Beaver River from campus. We had to walk over, then walk up the hill. It was a more serious undertaking than we had thought... it took something like 3 hours total to do all of it. However, it was a great time. While up at the G, we got to see a bald eagle and what we think was its nest. That was incredible. After coming back down, we hit Pizza Joe's for supper, mainly because we got back late enough that the dining hall was closed, and since the Brig ain't open on the weekend, we had to eat somewhere. :P

The other two guys that climbed up with me. This is what the G consists of.

Campus from across the river.

Last weekend, my parents and brother came out for a few days. Rose Point RP church, where my mom grew up going to church at, celebrated their 175th anniversary, so we were there for that. It was a great time - getting to see lots of family and friends, celebrating the blessing of God over the lifetime of a faithful congregation, and getting a couple of really interesting pictures.

I know it's blurry, but I wanted to post this. :D

This is in a ravine behind the Rose Point church building. It's a gorgeous spot. Wish I had a better camera to do it justice. :P

Sunset from my Grandpa's house. I wish I had some way of getting the tree in there without the wires, but oh well. Still a great shot.

I think that's it about me. I do have a request for prayer, though. My grandmother is currently having some major health problems. She broke her neck on Tuesday, and is apparently having some heart problems too. So, if you see this, please be praying for her. I will remember to post an update on this. If I don't, send me an email, call me, or somehow let me know I need to do it. :P

Seeya later!

Things have gone so fast

I can't believe that the first week of classes is already over. Things have gone so fast... wow.

Not really anything exciting going on. Later this evening, I'm meeting up with a bunch of friends and going to Geneva's opening football game here on campus. That should be fun.

Classes are going well. There's a bit of homework, but not too much. I'm keeping busy. :P

I'm really building up some good friends here. That was one thing I was concerned about, but thankfully it's not being much of a problem. My roommate (Josiah) and I are continuing to get along very well, which is always nice. The food isn't terrible... actually I enjoy it most of the time. There are lots of options here on campus, which makes things much better.

I think that's about it for now. I really can't come up with a ton more to post about. Seeya later!
