Anyway- Hawaii was amazing! We were there for seven days, my entire family, my sister's fiancée, and my girlfriend! It was really relaxing, and a ton of fun! If you'd like to see pictures, here is the public photo album.
Be sure to check those out.After we got back from Hawaii, I spent all day Sunday unpacking, doing laundry, working on Greek for Monday, and catching up with friends.
Monday classes resumed, it was a good day, but busy. That evening I went to the youth group kick-off at my church! It was awesome... I'm really excited. I'm co-leading the youth group with a graduate of Bryan's Christian Ministry program, along with several support staff, and our parental overseer types. It's going to be awesome! I'm sure more posts will be forthcoming regarding the youth group.
Tuesday was St. Patrick's day. In case you didn't get the link when I posted it on Twitter, check out St. Patrick's Confessio. I had some guys over to my house, and we watched one of my favourite movies: Boondock Saints. Then we played some Settlers of Catan, which I love!
Later that night, my mom called, and asked me about the possibility of a summer trip: She wants to go to Italy again, just her and I since I know Italian and know my way around. I think I'm going to have to pass due to some other things coming up this summer.
Wednesday I accidentally overslept my alarm, and due to the six hour jetlag I was still feeling at that point, I missed all of my classes and woke up just before one. I decided, rather than going to lunch, to look at next semester's catalogue and work out my classes for this fall.
I think I've got a decent idea, depending on what all I can get as tutorials this summer. The schedule is now up on my Google Calendar (navigate to Septemer to see my schedule for the fall), as well as on my cell phone, iPod, and Outlook. It won't be finalized until around the end of the month, once I've talked to the registrar, my advisers, and preregister.
It looks like this summer I'll need to stay in Dayton: I need to take about twelve hours in tutorials, which means I'll need to work for Bryan again. I'm waiting to hear back about my job, and once I know for sure, I'll be making the arrangements. I'm really excited though! I'll get to stick around here with the youth group, and take Koine I and II, plus other tutorials.
Thursday I was pretty busy: I had to catch up on everything I missed on Wednesday. I also had to pack...
Friday I went to classes like normal, then left.
This past weekend I went to a monastery with Matt, Myles, Aaron M., and Garrett. It was legit! Friday's post will probably be my thoughts on that experience.
We got back late Saturday night. Sunday was fun: We went to church, then came back and ate, then translated Greek. Then I went to the youth ministry leadership team meeting, and after that to Chattanooga to hang out with some friends.
After we got back I hung out with Maribeth, and then went to bed.
I'll keep you guys in the loop, and be sure to check out Wednesday's post- it'll take a half hour or so, because it's a video- but I promise it is worth every second!
