The worst is over. I have survived. The hours between 12:30AM and 3:30AM along with the hours between 8AM and 12:30PM were filled with me finishing my six page Early Christianity final. Brutal. But, it’s done. Handed in hours ago and then a quick jot through the 10 in class questions which were relatively easy and I’m surprised I knew given the vague amount of attention I gave most of what the teacher said.

So on Saturday I need to be gone from the dorms. I’m not moving into Mike H.’s house until the 17th, so for the next week I’m dormless and homeless. I talked to Tom today and he said I might be able to snag a couch at their place for a week. Kevin’ll be gone in Colorado, anyway. It’s weird that he’s almost gone forever. His wedding is on the 24th (I’m an usher), and then he’s taking off to be the executive assistant of the head of the Navs college ministry in Colorado Springs.

This summer is going to be cool. Matt and I are living in the same place. Tyler A., Tracy, Ray, and a bunch of other people are going to be in Lincoln. Phil, Jenny, and Rachael will be in Omaha. Cora will be out in A-Town. It’s not like the school year where everybody will be within 10 minutes, but it’s still going to be fun and I’m looking forward to being at least within range of the majority of my school friends. And for those who are further away, I can always just use the telephone.

And now it is time for me to log off this beautiful Apple. Oh, how I wish they didn’t cost so much money. It’s all a question of marketing and such. *sigh*

I’ll probably have my ethernet card back in my computer later today so I’ll be functional again. Then back to dialup starting next week. * cries *

So I’m back in Cora’s room, this time instead of talking we’re both studying for our Music Experience final. Exciting stuff, y’know.

I don’t have internet access in my room right now, so I’m not posting as much right now and probably will slow down pretty significantly for the summer as well. I’d like to keep posting, but I’ll probably be on dialup internet at the house I’ll be living in. Slow stuff. I am living in Lincoln this summer and plan on enjoying it. Now if I only had a job yet…

Speaking of jobs, my interview/technical skills test on Monday went terribly. For more information, view this post over at PerlMonks. Oh well.

Uhm… what else do I need to say? I feel out of touch with this blog since I haven’t been posting as much. Finals week is next week. Almost done with the semester. Moved my couch and carpet into storage today and swept my floor.

Uhm…. yup. Latez.

Cora Awarded A Kal Scholarship

She had no idea.

Cora was awarded the prestigious Kal Scholarship for Success & Achievement on Wednesday night. Cora, a third year Secondary Education major with an emphasis in mathematics, received the award with a look of confusion dawning upon her face.

“I was like ‘What the heck’” she said. “I really had no idea what was going on at first.” Afterwards, she said she was thankful for the award. “This’ll really help me out the next time I need to do a load of laundry.”

Cora is the first annual recipient of this award presented by the Kal Association for Recognition.

Correction: The Daily Kalian story on Wednesday forgot to mention the scholarship award being $0.25.

So I woke up today. I wake up at some point just about every day. If I didn’t then I wouldn’t be around to post. Or else in a coma. But anyway, back to my day.

Had lunch over at Applebee’s cause Seth D. is in town for Spring Break. Strawberry Lemonade is good (Thanks, Double-J).

… whoops, I’ve got to go soon. peace out, and I’ll finish the post later.

Update: Okay, to finish off the post. After eating Applebee’s, Matt, JJ, and I came back to the dorm. To summarize the next hour and a half or so, we met up with Matt’s bro Doug and Doug’s girlfriend and went over to Anna’s apartment for scones. In Justin’s words, it was a “comedy of errors.” To start with, we were late. Matt had called them to check on something, but they didn’t answer. We waited for a while and decided to go anyway. “Maybe their phone is just not working or something,” I commented. We got there, and apparently their phone was unplugged. All sorts of other interesting errors (iced tea, but no ice… … a couple botched batches of scones… Doug’s burnt finger… yada yada) showed up, too. On the drive back, Matt, Justin, and I all had a good laugh. The scones ended up being good, the tea was fab(ulous), and the company was swell.

At night Phil, Cora, and I went to Omaha and saw “From Dust” perform at a coffee shop as part of a Student Venture event. Phil and Matt know some of the members of From Dust and I know another guy named Weasel who hangs out with that crowd, so it was a good time.
