One down, four to go. The science exam wasn't too bad. Unfortunately, I have two more to go today and two tomorrow. I studied from about 12:30 til about 5, then continued studying from 5:30 until 7:30, then studied some more from 8:30 til 10. I had a few breaks for food and a "Christmas Party" with my LJ group. When I finally stopped studying, I went for a rather frigid walk around the pond, then came back and busted open the Sacred Realm, allowing an evil thief-King access to the most powerful artefact ever. You know how those days go.
Hrm... tomorrow afternoon I'm going to my friend Nate's house to party until Friday morning, when we turn around to go back to Grand Rapids for NARNIA! Yay! Then we go out to lunch, then I go home. I was going to take someone home, but she found a better ride.
I'm leaving. I need to go study for speech. Grr.

Let it snow...
Yeah, it's weird for me to say that...
I just spent the past 45 minutes or so playing in the snow while walking around the pond. Good times. It's days like today that make me remember why it is that I wear contacts all the time...
I had a read through for the one act I'm in. That went pretty well. There wasn't too much sushi, though. I was hoping for more. Directly after that, I went to my facilitator's house, driving about 50 miles an hour because of terrible road conditions. We played some great games, heard some funny music, and just had some good old fashioned hedone. (By the by, that's a greek word that comes from Epicurean philosophy. The image is kind of like senior year of high school, hanging out with your friends by the beach, and just being comfortable with each other for a while. It's a wonderful feeling.) I got to talk to his daughter a little bit more on my level. Turns out she's an aspiring fantasy novelist. She does with novels what I'd like to do with video games. We got to have a nice converation about our respective worlds. Twas fun.
Now I'm very tired and I'm going to go to sleep now. I have to get up for church in the morning. It's kind of sad that it's the last time I'm going to be there for a while. At least six weeks... Oh well.
Laterz!
P.S. By the way, I think I turned comments on so that you Xanga people can comment if you so desire. If you could try so I know if it worked or not, that would be swell.

...I'm not sure if I like having to title everything...
Another pretty day. It's pretty cold though. I have a speech journal to do, a friend to pick up from work, tons of studying of World Civ, doing a read-through of a one act I'm in (this involves sushi, though, so it's okay), and going to my Leadership Journey facilitator's house. It'll be a fun day. I like fun days.
This one act I'm in is pretty neat. It's a Japanese absurdist play and it's called The Man Who Turned into a Stick (death). Bizarre name, but what can you expect from absurdists... I play a man from Hell. More like an officer, really. At the end, I get to jump out into the audience and point my spear/stick thingy at audience members and accuse them all of being boring sticks. Woo! Anyway, it's Japanese, so at the read through tonight, I think my director/RA/friend/suitemate is going to get us Sushi. Woot!
I'm gonna go do a speech journal now.

Still experimenting...
So now I've got a little more time for updatage.
I had a really nice quiet time this morning. I read some My Utmost for His Highest and as always, Oswald Chambers had some nice things to say. I've decided that I'm not just going to read Chambers' commentary, but the scripture at the top and a little more. It was really neat today. I read Ephesians 3:7 "But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ." I think Paul meant that the things he would have considered gains as a Pharisee, things like a good reputation, a strong beard, and a good family were all just distractions from his goal of becoming closer to Christ.
Anyway, that's all the preaching I'm gonna do for now. I changed screennames so I wouldn't sound all "look at me, I'm Christian!" Today is the last day of classes. That's kinda neat. It's almost sad. I have some good friends up here that I won't see for a month. The funny thing about college is that you always have something to do. If I ever get bored, I can just go to the lounge and talk to random people. Or go for a walk around the pond. Or dance (that's legal now at Cornerstone).
I'm off to my last class of the semester!
