I got my test grade back for my take-home Early Christianity test. Happilly, I received an 89% on it. Granted, it’s not quite an “A”, but I remain within grasping distance.

I feel freeeeeeeeeeeeee. Ok, ok, maybe just light-headed. No wait, that’s confusing, too. Perhaps I should just say “I got a haircut.” Yeah. There you go. I got my hairs cut.

In less then joyful news, Cora didn’t get the CA job for this summer. She’s still thinking about what she’ll end up doing.

I’m trying to figure out what I’m doing this summer. I need to talk to my parents about it. Signup for summer classes starts on March 10, so I need to decide soon. I may stay in Lincoln and hope I find a job. It’s time to start looking. twinge of nervousness I don’t want to be 21 yet, Mom!

Quick apology: Sorry again for missing lunch today, Bart. My bad. I really look forward to eating lunch with ya, so when I forget about it I (not literally) kick myself.

That’s it for now. I worked on a new poem today, but I’m going to hold off posting it for a while. I’ll hook it up later. G’evening.

I get the privelege… nay… the torture of attending the RHA meeting this week. Jake’s off in Chicago for an orientation meeting for the missions trip he’s taking to Japan this summer with the Navigators. Jake likes to refer to RHA meetings as time spent “gouging my eyes out.” Not the best sort of fun ever to be had. Add on top of that the fact that I managed to make it to the Union building half an hour early for the meeting, and it multiplies the fun. sigh

Coming up in the next few days are elections for ASUN. If you remember, early I considered running for president of this organization. Now, I’m thankful that I did not. There are much more important things I can send doing with my time rather then meddling in university politics. They may be profitable for a bit of education about how these things work, but essentially very little ever results from the grumblings of campus political organizations.

“Get uninvolved!” Or get involved with things that matter. Or change the things that don’t.

Update: Well… yes. RHA meetings are a waste of time. We managed to debate a lot and throw $1700 at a couple events targeted at merely a small percentage of the university dorm population. And the speaker of the house attacked CPRA’s representatives for not dispensing information that we didn’t have. i.e. I’m frustrated and glad I don’t have to go every week. To quote Jesse L…

I spent several hours this afternoon working on some junk for my lyrics database. (OT:Tyler says his teacher is a moron!) I finally got PHP::Pear working properly (the server admins got PEAR added to the include_path so it all works correctly now). So I converted all the files over to using PEAR for database abstraction. Took a while and there aren’t any noticeable benefits, but it might make things easier someday for editing the files. Hopefully sometime in the near future I’ll finish the last piece of the lyrics adder script so I can insert all my album info into the database and begin adding lyrics like crazy. It’ll still be a while.

Tonight I went over to Kauffman and hung out and talked to Jenny and Sonya. Jenny was doing her laundry, so we helped fold some of that up. How many different ways are there to fold socks? I either don’t fold them or else just fold two together. My mom folds up the top of the sock over its partner. Some people (e.g. Jenny) fold the socks all the way inside. Odd stuff. We progressed to slightly more exciting times with a game of Rummy. It’s a card game. I haven’t played it for many years. Initially, my Aunt Sue in California taught me how to play. That was on one of the family vacations we took to California every few years to visit my dad’s side of the family, including one of his sisters, her husband, and dad’s parents.

Jenny ended up winning the game. (Friend!) And now I’m back here in my room ready for sleep. お休みなさい。

If there’s one thing I’ve learned today, it’s not to trust a margarita. “I’ll just have one with dinner since I can.” Well… it was a Blue Pacific margarita, and I was kinda shocked when it came out. It was half as big as my head. (Ok, perhaps that’s an exaggeration.) In any case, the waiter kinda scared me when he said “Jeez dude, you drank that like a fish. There were four shots in it.” So, in summary, I’m not going to drink alcohol for a while. There’s a lot better ways to spend my life then tipsy off of a stinkin’ margarita.

I had a good time hanging out with Mark and his Jen up in Omaha again today. We had dinner at Chili’s, went to a mall, hung out at Border’s for a while, and shortly after that I came back home. With the hour drive both ways, I’m worn out. Time to study Japanese for a bit and then sleepy time for me.

In other news
Cora got an RA job here in the same dorm I’m in this year. Woohoo! I’m not sure about Jake or anybody else I know who applied, but I’ll probably find out what happened tomorrow. Latez!

What’s up? A lot’s happened this week. I got to hang out with my conversation partner a few days ago for a few hours. Chinese, Japanese, and Thai dishes for dinner. That was pretty awesome. Chinese New Years is in about a week and that will be fun to go to also.

Classes are easy. Need more be said?

I’m considering moving to East Campus next semester. My friend Jenny was offered an assistant residence director position and she asked a few of her friends, including me, if we’d consider moving over there. The intent would be to get to know some of them better and also to be a Christian witness in the dorms. Only about 200 people live on East Campus.
