I've noticed something interesting this summer. First, it never rains in California..... and second, it always rains in Florida. Yes, I am finally back in O-town! I actually had a blast doing literature evangelism in California but I am terribly glad it's over. California is nice, but Florida..... is well..... let's just say vastly superior (no offense to my beloved Californian friends, but you know the truth deep down inside ). Oh, back to the rain; it's actually due to the disappointment of a tropical storm called Fay. Rain is nice and all, but I really love severe weather! It should be over by the time I start school on Monday though. I'm back to community college (never thought that would happen) for just one semester. After that It's still looking like Union College. I'm going to be taking a 12 hour-a-week Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course along with Intro to Psychology and a scuba diving class(!!!). It'll be a pretty interesting semester, so please keep me in your prayers. Hmmm.... I guess that's all I have to say right now.... Ohhhhh wait, wait!!! I am definitely, positively, almost certainly going to GYC San Jose over winter break!!! I'm also going to be in California between now and then in Palm Springs at an Adventist doctor's convention (AMEN) in October. I love California!!!..... sort of..... Ok, now that's it.... Peace you guys!!

Thursday... April 24, 2008. I have officially completed my freshman year of college. Amazingly, college (at least community college) was far easier than I had expected. It wasn't necessarily enjoyable, however, and I can't wait to get back into a good Adventist school. Anyways, bring on the summer!!!! I will be at OHA grad and I will be at ASI. In between... I'll probably keep working at Office Depot. Afterwards.... is still up in the air although Southern and Union are still options if they could accept me this late. Still rather unsure as I really really hate making big decisions. Please pray for me. Well, I can't wait to see any of you who still read my very infrequent blog. God bless!

There are some questions that need to be answered about my happenings and future happenings.
    The first obvious one is "How's college been?" Well...... hmmm..... not too bad actually. College (at least the community college sort) makes oha look pretty easy hard, or at the least OHA makes college seem easier than it would have seemed otherwise. My only problem has been--not surprisingly--Algebra!! not good at all. I'd prefer not to say what I got on the first two tests but let's just say, well.... at least it was better than most of the rest of the class! Naturally, a "W" is better than an "F" any day though so I dropped the class and am now taking only 15 hours a week! Sort of as a disclaimer though, the teacher wasn't that great. Someone once asked him, "Is it possible to pass your class?" the answer was "Possible, but not probable!". So there you see. Other than Algebra, everything else is good and I am enjoying college although missing OHA.
    The second question would be: "What else have you been up to?" Well, not too much. I have been enjoying the beautiful wonderful Florida weather (sunny, about 80 with 40% humidity) and work at Office Depot about 20 hours a week. We have done at least one exciting thing though......(and pics explain it best)


The Kennedy Space Center!!!!



The Space Center's newest attraction! A simulator that puts you through the exact same experience that the astronauts get during the shuttle launch. It was awesome!

Me and my...uhhhh.... space family chillin' on mars! Notice how white I am due to lack of oxygen, I will soon pass out and die and i don't think my space family really cares. How unfortunate


Aiming at the sky....


The soil down here in Florida is absolutely amazing!! Look what they grow down here!
It's called the "Rocket Garden"


Man, I thought I was tall! Look at that rocket, it's huge! and that's one of the smaller ones!

    Ok that's it, last question...
"What are your plans?" Hmmmmm...... good one. Well, I'll probably be going back to community college next semester (It's cheap!) and after that, I still really don't know. I'll probably go to Southern or maybe Union or (if caleb has his way) become a Swedish bodybuilder (LOL,  riiiiight!). We'll see, pray for me 'cause God knows, I just wish I did too. In the more near future I am DEFINITELY GOING TO GYC!!!! And if anyone wants to be my roommate I need 3 so get back to me on that. (soon)

Well, God bless everyone! I'm missing you all and I'd love to hear from you! Peace-out!
