One of those "corner of the mouth smiles"

light at the end of the tunnel

School is almost over and my freedom will be assured at the end of this week (actually early next week). I changed my blog layout a little, so don't be alarmed. Now! Onto more important things!

Things I am looking forward to this summer:

1. Working...or more importantly...receiving some hard-earned cash.
2. Having more free time.
3. Renewing the pact us guys made last summer (oh, it's gonna happen this summer..fo sho)
4. Using more words like "Fo Sho" because my vocabulary just consists of barbaric english words.
5. Star Wars (I am going to be made fun of for this one from J. and J. but who cares).
6. Working out (notice how I made "Star Wars" more important....such a geek).
7. Sleep (at least 20 hours a day)
8. Lost (no...not the physical act of becoming lost, but the show)
9. Warm weather, beaches, tan and bikini babes (I'll take Josiah with me so as I don't feel guilty).
10. NASHVILLE!!! (need I say more?)

That is the list so far, but there may be one or two secrets...just to keep you all interested.

P.S. There are no mysteries at the moment, so don't ask me. I just put that down so you would think that I have something up my sleeve, when in all reality, I don't...at least not now. Mwa-ha-ha.

Did you know how you'd move me?

My foot is tapping incesently due to the coffee I have just downed. It brings a warmth to my body, and a comfort of focusing on the now, not what is ahead. What does lie ahead? Maybe accomplishment in some area or a tie to someone. For now....nothing.

p.s. - the title is a song title...

tis strange

I started working on Monday, and last night (which was Tuesday) as I was driving around the city, I was thinking about some stuff. For the most part I was thinking about how much less free time I would have (during the night) because I work almost every night. In the past, I would have reasoned with my sensible, wanting-to-make-money self and asked for more days off. However, I am okay with the fact that I won't be seeing friends as much. As ludicrous as that sounds, I am in the point in my life where there is not many things happening to me. For instance, I am not tied to anything right now (except for school and the drive to end the semester with good grades) so I am not distracted about people or things going on. Of course, that could all be due to the fact that I have only worked for 2 days so far........we'll see.

When I was up at Covenant College, I was talking to Beth about future areas of my life, specifically what I am going to do after OWC. I would really love to travel, but I am not really in a position (financially) to do that. College is also an option, but where? Another thing I threw out there was going to Seminary. It has always been something I had thought about. Of course, I don't know whether or not I would pursue a career in being a pastor or to just learn new things. I think it would be beneficial regardless. Someone joked about me being "Pastor Luke", but I have thought about how hard it would be to follow in the shoes of someone like Pastor Schnieder. Not only that, but my lifestyle would have to change dramatically. I am talking about the fact that I am not anywhere close to being perfect, and I think it would take quite a bit of time to change my habits in my life.

caught in suspension

I returned yesterday, and somehow....things are different. Not about those around me, but I think something about me. Oddly enough, that sounds selfish in some way to say that I have changed in 4 days of being gone. Can it happen? Of course. Did it really happen? I don't know, but there is something that I can't quite put my finger on that I feel better or more eased over. I'll keep you guys posted as to what it is, but regardless, it's good to be back.

scheming and dreaming

I haven't posted in quite awhile, and that is partly due to me being in he great state of Tennessee. For Spring Break, I took a trip up to visit my sister where she goes to school. So far, it has been an interesting trip. I have met a lot of great people and have had good times. As for the title, some of you will find out tommorrow, at least in terms of scheming. I don't know what I will be doing on my last night on the town, but it will be fun, nonetheless.
