Randomness

Monday saw the arrival of my friend Joel Tate from VT! I had no idea he was coming until I was walking down the hall towards my room after night class and I heard a familiar voice speaking. No way I thought, but yep there he was :) Joel was my campus minister back at CSJ freshman year and together with his brother Job, was instrumental in getting me to come to Houghton.

Tuesday I had an exam in financial accounting which I felt very unsure about but ended up doing reasonably well in. I ended up with a 94 after the curve which wasn't too far off of my back to back 99s after the curve on the first two. I currently have a 98 average in the class so I don't think I have to worry at this point in the semester lol.

Wednesday I felt like hugging Dr. Black since he allowed us to put off our third test until Friday. I don't care what anyone says that man is one of my favorite profs ever.

Thursday was pretty much boring and nothing to report other than severe procrastination (like usual) on my studies for said test on Friday. I was up till 3 when I should easily have been done by midnight... ah well.

and Today I was up at 7 to finish studying for the test. Yuck. Oh well, my studying did pay off and I am confident of a reasonable grade on the test. Joel left today and I was sorry to see him go since we had had a few good conversations over meals. 2 hour nap after class then supper... now I'm feeling like going to bed...

Update

Wow it has been a long time since I updated this... Well here are some highlights from the past week: Tuesday my family visited me on their fall vacation, which was a nice break from school work. I introduced them to several of my friends here at Houghton and had a nice lunch in the cafeteria. Then we went to see Letchworth (third time for me now!) and saw the waterfalls... It was a nice warm day with only a few sprinkles in the air, it is such a gorgeous place to be. After that, we went down to the Cuba Cheese Shoppe in Cuba and bought some excellent cheese - I got some New York Cheddar that was aged 5 whole years - mmmm boy is that stuff good!

Thursday was the Jars of Clay concert, which was totally awesome! I need to get some of their CDs now because wow, I have been missing out (yeah I didn't have any cash on me that night to buy one there). They played for a good 2 hours after the introductory bands were finished, which was a full hour. The music actually was at a bearable decible level, which was also very nice. Steve also came to visit again so it was good to see him as well.

Friday night was a "mission impossible" capture the flag game with the local youth for christ and I got to be a cameraman :) Flour bombs were flying everywhere and a few kids even managed to find a good and deep waterhole in the dark lol. A good time was had by all, and 4 kids actually managed to get all 5 bracelets from each of the flags. At 10:00, Mission Impossible III played in the chapel, which was a very good, but very intense movie for those of you who haven't seen it.

Well thats it for now, I need to get some sleep.
