Yes, it’s now 10 days-ish until I graduate college. It’s been a wild ride, but one I wouldn’t trade away for anything in the world. (more…)

Let’s see. It’s been a while. I can’t keep track of everything anymore.
I’ve had on my to-do list to write a posting for the past week, and here I am. I don’t feel like writing much, but there’s a lot to update. (more…)

I’m so sorry to be gone for the past two weeks! But I ended up being really crazy and jumping on tour with Phantom Regiment for the final stretch. I’ve been gushing about this activity all summer. I don’t expect you to understand how much this activity means to me.

So I’ll explain that and give another list of what I’m excited for as school starts up. (Good idea, Billy) (more…)

Caution, this is long, but it’s chock-full of good stuff and hopefully some multi-media if I can figure it all out.

I’m on lunch break at good ol’ Alumni Relations, and my boss allowed me to have some great Pizza Luce leftovers. The pizza is amazing and has some pretty crazy options. Anyway, there are giant artichokes on this particular pizza, and it’s a little too much for me (hence the title of the entry).

But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go to Pizza Luce. Anyone who goes to Concordia is a short walk from this great place (plus it’s open until 2a.m.) For you incoming freshmen, you can have great pizza AND study for an Old Testament final at the same time! (more…)

The past few weeks since my birthday have literally flown by, and I’ve finally had some things to do besides doing chores at home. Summer Camp (Our Savior Lutheran Day Camp) has begun, and it’s been fun so far. the kids are energetic and fun as always, and I have a great group of co-workers. It helps that most of us have known each other for the better portion of our lives. Besides that, I’ve playing a lot of guitar and drums, trying to actually practice for once in my life…that’s not always easy, I suppose.

I was going to devote a whole post in honor of my appreciation of leftovers, but then my writing really annoyed and bored me, so you’ll have to miss out on that. But since I’ve been working nearly full-time and live in an apartment for the first time, I’ve come to understand the greater need to survive on leftovers. There, that’s all I’ll say about that. (more…)

Grades were finally posted yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised. Sure, I put effort into all my classes, but there were countless times this semester that I completely slacked and had no motivation to study or do homework. About mid-April I was hit with the idea that I’d completely bombed this semester because of this apathy. That said, I’m glad that I did finish strong and I honestly felt confident that my kick at the end pushed me to do as well as I did. If only the plus / minus system wasn’t in place; otherwise, I’d have a 4.0 this semester.

I’m getting antsy this summer, because I really haven’t done much this summer and I’m getting bored. Work (OSLC Daycamp!) doesn’t start until June 4th, so the most work I’ve done is the normal yard work. I guess playing guitar and drums all day will suffice until then.

Four days until my 21st birthday…

It’s always great to be home! While I can’t wait to get back to CSP, it’s good to have some time with the fam. Tonight, we went out to eat as a family to celebrate my parents’ 25th anniversary.

Back in elementary school and even junior high, I used to love the days of Summer Vacation - sleeping in, playing outside, riding bikes, shooting hoops, seeing friends, and the list goes on. However, lately my summers have been plagued with work.
