better than gravy

so, i can't tell what it will be, but qualitatively it just might be...

the school year, that is. so yeah, i'm checked in, registered, taking the whole of 18 credits (rehearsing for King Lear, and working 20 hours per week... crazy, i know!), have most of my books, and am up too late before the first day of classes.

The sched.: Brit. Lit., Greek, Am. Lit., chapel, lunch, free hour, B. Docs, Civ., free hour, din-din, study... repeat ad nauseum.  But i don't have any T Th classes, so that's a blessing.  And I don't have to go to chapel on those days, which is a mixed blessing.  It stinks that I don't get to listen to a Bible message every day, but it's good that I can stay home and study all morning before I go to work @ 1:30p.

I'm really excited about this year of school.  First, it's my senior year, so you know what that means.  Second, I'm in King Lear, which will be one huge learning experience.  I've never been in a production this big before, or one that is so reputable as the BJU Classic Players.  Next, I'm taking some really neato classes (the aforementioned Brit. Lit./Am. Lit. combo; and next semester's Rome, Middle Ages, Brit. Lit. 2 reading extravaganza). Further, during Winter Break, I'll be attending the SGI Missions conference in Detroit.  There are others too, but right now isn't the time to get into them.

And, I hope to meet/get to know better the "woman of my dreams", b/c the woman of my waking moments is nowhere to be seen at present.

Coffee is good for you!

Duh, you say!  Well, according to a recent study, it's been proven scientifically.

China trip has a new guide

My roommate works in WebTech @ BJ.  They just put up a new page for a trip to China being led by former BJ President Bob Jones III and his wife Benneth.  I want to go sooo much!!!  It would be totally awesome. I'd take thousands of pictures.  But unfortunately, there is the little constraint called the $2115 for the price of the trip (not including airfare to China).  It's soo unfair!

Why do I have to pay?  Why can't Dr. Bob pay; he has money.  Then I can lead the trip!

I can see it now...  "Hey people, look at that. That's so cool. I wish I knew more about it, other than it's being cool.  Quick someone, take a picture of that!  ...  And look at that big thingy there, wow!  Don't know what it is but it sure is big and neat! ... Okay people, we're now going to visit this place I heard was really cool!  Wish i could tell you more, but you'll see for yourselves how cool it is!"

The Able-bodied Seaman

Heard a joke recently and laughed out loud.  I know Cory will like it, at least.

An able-bodied seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and they they take turns recounting their adventures at sea. Noting the pirate's peg-leg, hook, and eye patch the seaman asks:
"So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?"
The pirate replies:
"We was caught in a monster storm off the cape and a giant wave swept me overboard. Just as they were pullin' me out, a school of sharks appeared and one of 'em bit me leg off."

"Blimey!" said the seaman. "What about the hook?"
"Ahhhh..." mused the pirate, "We were boardin' a trader ship, pistols blastin' and swords swingin' this way and that. In the fracas me hand got chopped off."

"Zounds!" remarked the seaman. "And how came ye by the eye patch?"
"A seagull droppin' fell into me eye," answered the pirate.
"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asked incredulously.
"Well..." said the pirate, "..it was me first day with the hook.."

17 hours

Suffice it to say... "I don't like working with women."

Otherwise, long day, great pay, now I lay me down to sleep...

YESS, pre-party

Had this idea, don't know how it'll turn out but I thought it'd be worth a shot.  Hopefully, the whole thing won't come crashing down, too many people, you know?

The Idea: have a humongous party at my apartment, complete with requisite meats, root beer from the source, incense, loud (yet "checkable") music, and plenty of those from the female variety... So we send out this email to over 50 people...  Most respond yes; others with various sorry excuses.  C'mon people, don't you know that this is THE social event of the current fiscal year?  How could you say that you have to attend weddings, be with the folks, wash the dog, bite your nails, etc. when you could be kickin' it with zacfoo and the Brade?

So, if your within a 200 mile radius of The Gassaway Mansion on Saturday night at 7, make your way to YESS (Year-End Summer Spectacular).  It's the cat's meow!

From my hiatus

Okay, so I'm not dead; I've merely been faking my online deadness for the past couple months.  Sorry to disappoint. I know many of you were laughing for joy when you realized that i wasn't posting anything.  Well, with the advent of the school year, my final year (hopefully), I figured i ought to start out again and keep you all informed of what's happening on my planet.

To begin, i just received my checksheet for my new major, Humanities. I'm thinking that I'd be able to apply all those credits i got my Freshman year toward a major in Humanities instead of letting them float about unusable in Bible major Elective-land.  So I was figuring out all the classes that i'll need to take and... WOW! i have to take 21.5 credits each semester this year just to fulfill the requirements.  Looks like I'll be in Summer School next summer; for a couple sessions. Yikes!

So, I'm not exactly happy about all that. But I do get to take some interesting classes that I missed earlier in my college career: Brit. Lit., Rome (for History elective), Spanish (for my foreign language, I'm passing on Greek for the need I have of learning Spanish. I have a good grasp of Greek, I think I can teach myself the rest i need to know.), and some english lit. classes that sound interesting.  I won't be taking any Bible other than Doctrines, and no Speech classes since Humanities doesn't have a minor.  It'll be totally different than what I'm used to, but i think (and pray) that this is the right decision.

Oh, and one cool thing about it is that if i can manage it right I won't have to take any TTh classes; only MWF sounds very nice.

Got my script and rehearsal schedule for KING LEAR, the Classic Players production that I'm in this fall.  I'm really looking forward to this. Should be a really neato learning experience.

I'm getting ready for being society clown/Spirit Leader, too.  Now, just to find those cheers...

Peec owt.  And I WILL write at least a few times per week. Scout's honor. (too bad i was never a Scout!)
