Happy Thanksgiving!
Nov 25th
Tomorrow morning I’ll get to take my first off-campus break of the year, and I can’t wait! Don’t get me wrong, college is (still) incredible, but after a few months of studying, fighting off infections that dorm mates so graciously pass around, and just being busy, it’s going to be nice to have a break. I’m going with one of the guys from the dorm up to his house in the Bay Area, and another guy who lives near there is going to ride along in the backseat of the Silver Bullet so we can drop him off at his house. Ryan and I are going to be staying with one of his friends since his sister and her friend will be at his house. I already have my activities planned out because Bro. Butterfield (my dispensationalism teacher) encouraged us to schedule out our vacation so it’s not filled unplanned time. Based on that exhortation, I have prepared a handy spreadsheet and will share it with you here. Feel free to utilize it in your own life.

Some of my friends are staying here for the rest of the week, and for them, families from the church invite students to their homes for dinner. The church is filled with awesome families who love the college students, and it turns out to be very advantageous in times like these. Dr. R has transportation going back and forth from his house every fifteen minutes during the early part of the day on Friday for “health foods such as pizza”, and then the regular food service here at the college starts up again that evening I believe. We’ll be getting back on Sunday evening, ready to finish up the last couple weeks of the semester… wow, time has flown!
I know that I have been less than faithful in posting this semester, but if you have a question about WCBC that you’d like me to answer, drop me an email and I’ll do my best to write about it.
Birthday and College Days
Nov 7th
Thanks to all of you who sent birthday wishes through Facebook and email, I appreciate it so much! I rescheduled all of my Thursday piano lessons to Friday so that I could have the day off and celebrate with friends (and sleep.) My mom always used to make (the best) lasagna for my birthday, so my friend took me to one of the best Italian restaurants on this side of town, and theirs was close to mom’s.
Getting things in the mail, even email, means so much to me now. The one thing that makes my day more than anything (besides receiving an exorbitant amount of cash, earmarked “Spend it on something fun”), is when I get a note or card from a friend at home on some random day. Again, thank you guys, I love you!
College Days, where high school juniors and seniors come for a couple days, attend class, see what it’s all about, and wander around with the same clueless, lost expression we freshmen had a few months ago, happens to fall right on my birthday, so the event planners were very kind to have large balloons flying outside, in honor of my birthday, I’m very sure.
This picture is the first good one I have of chapel piano every other Friday, so sorry for the self promotion, but some people may enjoy it. Actually, my mom will, everyone else, peruse something else.
