Miss Me Much?

Hey everybody. It seems that this semester has been very cyclical in the amounts of work I have to do. The calendars on this blog here will demonstrate that pretty clearly. I had some really fun stuff happen to me this week, and some not so fun stuff, but all in all I'm glad to have it wrapped up. There's only a few more days between now and finals, and then I'll be making the transition into the summer. I finally found out from GE today what day I'll be starting and all that jazz. It's a good feeling to get that squared away. Another bonus is that my future boss detailed a few projects I'll be starting on as soon as I get there, and he also gave the okay on my two online classes that I'm taking. So, if I get bored this summer, it's my own dang fault. I don't see that happening, though, because I've got a lot of fun trips lined up.

One of those trips is happening tonight (Friday night). Fred, Gerritt, and I are traveling down to Davidson, NC to see Ben Folds play. Ben is one of those artists I've wanted to see live ever since I picked up Ben Folds Five's first album back in high school, and even though he's solo now, this is the first time he's been anywhere close enough for me to go. I'll give you some highlights from that show soon.

Another big story for the weekend is our Wesley Open volleyball tournament. I'm in a team with some folks, so I'll give you an update on our standings there. The winning team takes all the glory and some Outback gift certificates - I like our odds.

Finally, I'd like to point out another person I know that's made it into the Collegiate Times: our very own K.T.'s letter to the editor is now online, and she's made some very good points about the recent developments in the VMI dinner prayer case. Way to go, K.T., for speaking out for what you believe in! I think that even though there's something to be said for the separation of church and state, a tradition that doesn't actually require the students to do much more than stand isn't really hurting anyone. Plenty of people would argue with that, perhaps with some real causes for concern, but dangit, I just think some things don't need to be tampered with. K.T. joins Josh in the ranks of well-written opinionated friends of mine. Josh wrote about the Miami ticket situation in the fall.

Okay, kids, I hope that'll satisfy your hunger for more writings. I've got some cool stuff cooking up, and some photo galleries I'll be posting soon. Keep checking back, o faithful audience.
