Summer is here
It has arrived! That season of unending ease and boredom. . . Yeah right.
Summer is just another kind of busy, at least for me in 2005. Right now, I'm working two jobs at about 60 hours a week. Tomorrow, I will find out my unpaid assignment for working in the Sports Information program at TMC. Even though it adds more pressure and work for me this summer, I thought it wise to get my foot in the door in something that greatly interests me and could be my future job. That doesn't make it any easier, but it helps remind me that it's not in vain.
In other news. . . Amy left for the East Coast yesterday. Her trip went well, albeit a longer stayover in Georgia. I miss her already, but am looking forward to a new aspect in our relationship: long-distance communication. Fortunately, Amy changed her area code to a 661 code, mostly so that I wouldn't have to use calling cards all the time.
On Monday night, I saw Revenge of the Sith for a second time. Just for your information, it was even better the second time around. I hope to see it at least one more time, hopefully with my cousin Mike. We are both Star Wars aficionados (for the meaning of that word I would recommend reading Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. Yes, that title does come from Ecclesiastes for anyone wondering), and had perhaps our best of many experiences together when we saw it at midnight.
I'm reading John Piper's The Pleasures of God right now, and it is very good. I like Piper's writing style. It's very functional and is mostly owing to his college days at Wheaton. The book explores aspects of God's character that had never occurred to me before, or at least never in such glaring obviousness.
Lastly, one goal in 2005 is to read through the Bible in a year, which Amy has undertaken as well. I'm significantly behind right now, but it is well worth the effort to catch up to where I should be. Another goal is to read 50 books this year. I'm at 21 right now, so I figure I need to be between 35-40 by the time school gets going in late-August/early September. Yap at me to find out how I'm doing and/or to keep me accountable. That's all for now. Live strong.
