You can just skip over this post…

Really.

A while back I began to think about some of the highlights of my five years at GBS. Now before you think I’m going to get sentimental or anything, don’t worry. I shall shed no tears during the writing of this post.

This is short, incomplete list – and the items listed will not necessarily be in chronological order or in order of importance – but here are a few:

#1: Freshman year – Age of Empires: The Conquerors Expansion

What, you thought I was going to say something about life-long friendships?… Ask those of us who stayed up ’til 2am every Friday night to battle it out over the dorm network – it was awesome! Now, I wasn’t the best player in the dorm (Doug, I’ll beat you someday… not), but I was a force to be reckoned with. I won my share of games – when Doug wasn’t playing – but win or lose, it was fun just to play. Go Teutons!

#2: Reflection

The group, not what you do at the end of the year. I mean really, getting to travel and play bass guitar all over the country? Well, ok – mainly OH, IN, and KY. And a few other places. But definitely one of the best highlights.

#3: Choir Tour 2008

Just ask those of us who were there. Hands down THE best choir tour ever!

#4: Doctrine of Holiness

I cannot finish this (abbreviated) list of GBS highlights without mentioning Doctrine of Holiness class. To any freshmen who may be reading this post who have not yet taken DoH, let me simply say this: Ahh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!…

It’s a very good class but… well, the Notes.

*Deep Breath*…

OK, here goes (if you care to know):

> Let’s see – I got back from choir tour – in one piece – and here’s a picture for you:

 

Yes, good people – this is Isaac and his, uh… rather inventive way of heating up his chicken sandwhich. (Never mind that there was a microwave oven in the room behind him.)

> I too managed, along with probably half of the choir at least, to show symptoms of a cold in the days following choir tour. The good news, though, is that it was a pretty mild cold and the misery was at a minimum. (Hallelujah!)

> No, I won’t be posting a ton of pictures from choir tour here. If you want to see pictures, go see my Facebook. (If you’re not my friend, ask to be. If you don’t have a Facebook account, get one and then ask to be my friend. If you don’t know what Facebook is I can’t help you.)

> HOMEWORK!!! *sob* …I think that about covers it.

> Graduation is coming up and I have no idea what I’m going to do after I graduate. Of course, I might not have to worry about that if I don’t figure out the homework thing….

> I got a phone call yesterday (Saturday) afternoon and now I’m working on a video for the Jr. / Sr. / Valentines Banquet. Oh boy, do I have some work to do! It will probably be only 10 min. long, but in editing terms – that’s a few hours worth of work.

> I love the warm weather. I hope it lasts. Last Friday was so nice I went down to Riverfront and rollerbladed in the new section of park for a while. Very nice.

> Ok, this is kind of short but I think this post is done.

Suffering in a far-away land…

Folks, it’s tough. I mean, how would you like to suffer in a place like Florida in February?

Oh. Uh, you can put your hands down now.

Anyway, Choir Tour is going really well. We’ve had some good services and we’ve had a lot of fun. Hopefully I’ll post some pictures when I get back. (Come to think of it, maybe I should start taking some – beyond the 15 I have right now .)
