What's Happening

This week I started my new classes. I'm taking Contemporary Issues in Theology (which starts with the church in the second century...it's a new use of "contemporary") and Applied Biblical Studies. It's all interesting so far, but it's a lot of work right now. I think that after the summer sessions it will be easier, with only an exam and then two papers to write. This is my last summer of classes in California; after that, I have a couple independent study courses to take next winter, and a year from now I'll be done!

So far I'm enjoying the reading, although there's a lot of it. I enjoy history, so that part is good, and the book is well written (not too dry and not all about dates). The only problem will be remembering all of it for the exam! I'm reading a couple other books as well and so far they're pretty good. This year I have to read properly rather than just skim (my usual method of getting through textbooks) so it's good that they're interesting.

Of course, I don't spend all my time working. I had a young friend over after school on Friday. He's 8 and he came to play, watch movies, and have dinner. We ordered cheeseburgers, even though (to quote him), "Most places make cheeseburgers by just putting cheese on regular hamburgers." Well, yes, that would be the definition of cheese burger. We watched Lord of the Beans (which, for those of you not in the know, is a VeggieTales parody of Lord of the Rings). My young friend kept correcting it so it matched Lord of the Rings. Is it any wonder I love that child?

I also spend (probably too much) time on the internet watching videos. Here is today's choice of "video that I think everyone should watch" (please note his proper use of "literally").



 Have a great day!
