Aha! This Blog Is Mine!

Blogger.com finally allowed me to switch from the Beta version of blogspot to the full real deal blogspot. I have subsequently updated my template, making it ever so pretty. I will be adding more and more to this blog as I find time to procrastinate in the coming days.

This blog is a blog about my blog, as opposed to a blog about my life, so I will not be using the label "life" for this blog. Hrm, perhaps the label for this blog will be "blog", so that if one wishes to see the "BTS" (behind the scenes) of blog.alan.schram, they could search for it using the label which I will have conveniently provided them.

Of course, it makes me wonder why I spend so much time concerned about readers that may or may not exist, when in reality I post so infrequently and about such rubbish that I actually get bored writing some blogs. I can hardly assume people find pleasure in dragging their lifeless souls through this mess.

Regardless, this has been posted and labeled. Let the blogging begin. Again.

It's Not That I've Stopped Thinking...

...it's just that I'm too busy sitting on the beach in Hawaii to worry about posting a new blog.

Don't worry, fateful reader (whoo!), I will be back when I have time to sit around, think, and write. For now, I'm going to stare at my sunburnt nose in the mirror and grin to myself.

Anyone else go swimming on New Years Day?

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.
