End of Week 2

The end of my second week...highlights? Well, I got a sore throat on Thursday and now my entire nose is clogged and there is pressure in my ears as well as a painful throat. So that has been a bummer. Classes are going well although I have way more homework than expected. The drawing class has a super steep learning curve. I am already expected to draw city blocks, toasters and interiors of rooms with these different perspective views.

On the bright side, it has only rained for 3 days out of the last two weeks and today is marvelous. Blue sky and sunlight reflecting off the bay, with all the hillsides covered in green. Kind of hard to study. Also, my roommate, Jon, and I get along great with each other. It is very fun to be in my room when he is around. Talking, joking, discussing politics or movies. It is great.

Our first Core meeting was last Tuesday and it went pretty well. It kind of felt superficial but hopefully that will change. There were about 16 guys and all of them seemed to enjoy it. I haven't started one-on-one's with them yet so I still have a little free time.

That's all that comes to mind right now, so I hope this finds you well and enjoying life.

God is with me!

So God has come through. He was just waiting for me to be completely dependent and use up all my other options. I got into the Physics class and into my drawing class. The only one I diddnt get was the Machine tooling class but I might still get in and if not, I am trying to get into a class with my roommate, Jon, and my suitmate, Steven. So that is Sweet and I am doing a little better. There is a bunch of work to do already but if God is for me, what can stand against me!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ahhh! I need prayer!!
I am on waiting lists for all my classes and I haven't got in yet. I had my Physics class today and tried to get in but I don't think I did. I just sent an email asking about it and also telling him that I was going to keep attending his class until he let me join. Pray that he takes it well and sees a dedicated student and not a pain.
I have two more classes tomorrow that are also waiting lists. I am freaking out inside. Almost ready to cry.

I'm Back

Hey everyone,
So school has started again and it is already hoppin! As some of my previous posts have explained I am a CoreFA in my dorm. That is a group of guys that meets weekly for a bible study and other fun stuff. So I am super busy meeting people and will try to post regularly.

Okay so as of now I am not in any of the classes I want and am on waiting lists for all of them. Classes start tomorrow and it is very stressful not knowing for sure what I am taking.

I hope that this year is great and if for some reason I pop into your mind when you have a chance shout out a prayer for me. I appreciate all the support you guys are giving and look forward to reading your comments.

Schools Out

I am now home from school for the summer. So this blog will go inactive until school begins again at the end of September.

ETEC Projects

Here are some screen shots of the different projects that I have been working on this past quarter. The kinetic flashlight was my personal project and the money clip/bottle opener was the team project.

Almost not a teen

It is stange how when you are are child things seem to go by so slowly and as you get older time seems to speed up. I wonder if it has to do with the energy levels. As a child, you are small and full of energy, always ready to do stuff. Moving fast if you will so time seems slower. Where as as you get older you become slower and therefore time seems to be moving faster. Who knows.

It it very stange to me how quickly this year went. It is over in less than two weeks. I am sure it was only a few weeks ago that I turned 19 and now here I am, in exaclty 2 weeks (14 days for those who have trouble counting) I will be turning 20 years old. I will no longer be a teenager. How strange.
