Alright Blog, You and Me...

I haven't been blogging lately. This is due to a number of factors, such as:
1) Moving from my home, Kelowna, back to school, Abbotsford
2) Not having the internet (which has thus been re-established)
3) Not having anything worth saying (fear of the intellectually powerful blogs)
4) Laziness

This, then, is an update of what has happened recently.

School

Columbia Bible College is back in action. I'm living off campus this year, which is a massive change. I still live very close to the school, but it's still very different. The main reason is that I don't eat my meals in the cafeteria anymore. This has saved my wallet and my waist from serious trauma, but as a sacrifice my social life has petered out. Meals times are social times, where you get to meet all the new students, learn about each other, laugh, and eat. Now I return to my apartment and cook myself something delicious - though alone. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

I am a third year after all. I already have all the friends I need.

Oh.

Snap.

...

Sigh.

Classes are mostly good. I dislike tangents from teachers that demand respect, so I'm not a huge fan of Intro to Christian Ministries. I also don't like profs that can't pace themselves properly, or don't have interesting material, so OT Theology is a bit of a drag. My other three though, Classics in Religious Lit, English Lit, and Church History are all awesome. I should be studying for my Church History quiz which is in 23 minutes, but I decided to do this instead.

Work

I've been trying to get a job here. Not really trying but more of an amusing side task when I've finished watching too many episodes of Buffy - The Vampire Slayer. Which, by the way, is awesome. I love the irony, the writing, the characters... so good. I did, however, apply at the school for a "whatever-they-give-me" type job. I didn't get one at first, but after repeated inquiries, I get to monitor the parking lot. That's right CBC students, park properly and with a pass, or else I'll slap a $35 fine on your windshield. I believe I start Monday. It's only a few hours a week, like, an hour a day type thing, but it'll be enough to pay for a bill or two. And really, that's all I'm asking for.

Love

No comment.

Music

I didn't make the Vespers team this year, mainly because CBC axed our former traveling worship band, Souled Out. Thus the available music ministries shortened, letting Steve Kim (resident bass-pro-expert) take the top spot. It's one of those things I can't be shamed by. Steve Kim is an amazing bass player/man of sexiness, and I'm alright with him being awesome. I'm on a chapel team, instead. This is the least involved I've been at CBC since I began. Even my first year I was on two chapel teams, and now it's only one. Oh well, more time to watch Buffy!

In Conclusion

I like kittens.

Perhaps it's good you didn't make Vespers. After all, you wouldn't want to be disappointed after last year's glorious run, would you? (Heather, this is not a slag at your team, but I think mine kicked ass) Beer. We need to have beer.

raych said...

you DO mean that your social life has 'petered' out, n'est pas? or has it, in fact, turned to a mixture of tin and lead?
and i need to be included in this beer you and mike are having, grammatical nitpickings aside.

Done and done. You guys figure out a time that works between the two of you, hit up Abby ('cause I can't get out of here) and the beer WILL be consumed.

Michael LaRoy said...

Hear hear! Beers it is. Raych, let me know when's good for you, and we'll do it. We'll do it good.

Beers!? How was I left out of this..... after all, my house has the most free beers for all.
Anyways, the comment I was originally going to post before reading all those posts about beer was thusly:
Intro to Christian Ministries was called, in my day, Intro to Christian Suck. If you have been to one class, you will already know why.
