rain

Well a lot has happened since my last post. As I went back and reread it today, I can’t help but apologize to everyone who happened to read it. I had no reason to burden you with my problems. However, I have to say that I greatly appreciate everyone who talked to me about it.

All in all, summer was a failure. I really don’t feel like going over every single detail about it, but suffice it to say that I think that was the lowest point I’ve ever been. The major point is that I am no longer there!

I am back at Grove City and thank God for that. I’m back with my friends, making new ones and having fun! Actually, I think i’ve been more social these past three weeks of school than i was most of last year…weird. So basically there are two dimensions of life here: academic and social.

Simply because I want to, I will begin with social. AWESOME!!! Way, way, way too much fun. I’ve gone rock climbing. I’ve played tons of racquetball. I’ve met some amazing new friends, I’ve watched movies, played video games, and just chilled. But best of all there is Campus Crusade for Christ or CRU as we call it.

This year has been and is going to be stinking amazing! We’ve been reaching out to the Freshman like nuts and I think we are going to have a great turnout! Most of the people from last year are back and we are stoked! I’m really looking forward to all that we have planned. I’m going to be leading a freshman guys bible study which should be fun.

So, now for academics…yeah…blah. that’s about it. The only class that I really like is Modern Germany. It’s with the best prof on campus and it’s a blast! Business Calculus and Speculative Mind are going to be tolerable. Accounting and French are probably going to be hell. Grendel’s mother is teaching accounting and Satan’s great-aunt is teaching French. Bad combo that…

I’m getting all my work done, and I’m not anticipating a hard year, but there is a TON of reading! I basically spend all my time reading. unless I’m playing racquetball…or going out with friends…or watching movies…well anyway, I’m spending a lot of time reading.

I’m trying to get a job at the Columbia Sportswear Outlet in town, and I feel confident about getting it, although it’s been over 2 weeks since the interview. I have my car, and my dorm is really nice. I’ve got a good roommate and good hallmates.

So why “rain” for a title? Because I feel like a desert absorbing the first rain after a long drought. School is rain, and hopefully being around good and godly friends I can actually bear some fruit for a change…

Cheers.
