I have been busy

For about the past month now I have had very little free time. And what free time I have is in short, 20-30 minute breaks. I have been running all over with classes, work and other activities. Here is an overview of what I have been up to (and what has kept me from blogging).

• Classes- I have been working on a variety of projects. I have had to write my reasons for wanting to be a counselor and my counseling theory. I have worked on a design for a web-based database system and finished the project plan for this group assignment. There have been a couple of programming assignments to understand computer networks.


• Work- Basketball stats finished up at the end of Feb. and baseball started last week. The nice thing is that there are a bunch of people to help me this year with baseball and softball. I have also started to do peer tutoring through our library. I have two people for a class I took in the fall and two for the intro to computer programming class I took my first semester here at Taylor. That has been interesting.


• Job searching-I have had one on campus interview and a phone interview with Advent Group Ministries. I have yet to finish an online application. That job would be with the group home treatment as a live-in staff. There have also been three interviews with New Horizons Youth Ministries and one phone survey. I am applying for the group leader position for the Canada summer camp. SO far, both look positive and I'm not sure I have a preference.


• Lacrosse-Practice is three-four days a week for about an hour. Our first game was against Western KY down in Bowling Green, KY on Feb 24th. We drove down on Friday, spent the night at a girl's cabin in TN and came back on Saturday. That game was a W. Last weekend we traveled to U. of Illinois, where we played Ball State, Augustana, and Oakland. We beat Ball State and Augustana, and lost a close, tough game to Oakland. We were very pleased.


• Taylor Activities-Let's see, there was a concert with The Never, "The Best 12 Songs of the 60's and 70s", by Dr. Jim Spiegel, "The Fourth Dimension and C.S. Lewis" by the C.S. Lewis & Friends group and Relational Enrichment Week, with Dr. John Coe. And then there was our hall's broomball pick-a-date, followed (for me) with a Brian Regan performance the next day, with a couple of friends.

Family-One good news and one bad news in this area. My 22nd b'day was on the 7th and my parents came down the weekend before to celebrate. On Feb. 17th, my grandfather passed away. He had been sick and not recovering well. It was the first time I have lost someone close to me, so it was a hard time. But I was almost too busy to even think about it.

Well, I think that about sums it up. Now I must run to dinner, do some homework and then head to Spring Break Trip meeting to Daytona Beach. I went last year and am very excited about this year. Take care, y'all, now that you are caught up on my life!
