Children's Chior


We went to the Foreign Food Banquet tonight, and this is a video of the kids dressed up and singing...I thought it was really cute ;-)

How I write a paper:

8:00am week 1: Tell myself I’m going to write it.

8:01am: Push it off for a week. The motivational power of a looming deadline should not be underestimated.

11am week 2: Tell myself I’m going to write the paper tonight.

7:45pm: Take a nap so that I’ll be able to stay up to write the paper.

8:15pm: Visit some funny websites to wake myself up from the nap.

8:30pm: Make myself a peppermint latte, and find the ibuprofen in case I get the shakes or a headache.

8:50pm: Turn on all forms of electronic communication including (but not limited to) AIM, Skype, MSN, e-mail, ANGEL, cell phone, and blog. This way I can be interrupted at anytime in case someone wants to talk.

9:00pm: Read everyone’s away messages.

9:02pm: Post on blog.

9:10pm: Resign myself to the fact that I have to write this paper. If time allows repeat the whole process. If not, begin working on the paper while engineering as many interruptions as possible.

3:45am: Hopefully the paper is done. Go to sleep and don’t let anyone wake me up till at least 9am.

Ontological equality yet economic subordination...that's what I wrote my 12pg theology paper on a few nights ago (stayed up till 3:30 to write it!) So, I've attached it here as some light reading for you:

Haha, you thought I was serious for a second didn't you? Don't worry, I wouldn't torture you like that! But while reading through hundreds of boring theology books (alright, it was only 6...still!) I discovered that a past theological scholar (my pastor) had left some interesting notes in one of the books...


But seriously, I have a ton of reading to do, so don't be surprised if I don't post much in the next three weeks. See these books? I have to read all of those (in addition to my normal class homework), and write three 10-18pg research reports citing them, by Nov. 14th!! Scary thought. On Nov. 13th I'll probably be in a state of total and absolute panic.

On a slightly better note...we had a really pretty sun rise the other day :-)

Cameroon Presentation

Ok, for those of you who know (and those of you who didn't, you do now) I went on a missions trip to Cameroon this past summer. Well, one of my AWESOME teammates has put together this video presentation of our summer.

What do you do when ... your roommate is only 2 feet tall?
Answer: Even though she will always be in your room, don't count on her to be able to unlock the door for you.

----------

What do you do when ... you find yourself carrying on an animated conversation with your shadow?
Answer: Keep it up! Maybe it can explain how to become a "Discarded Image" because C.S. Lewis certainly doesn't.

What do you do when ... you feel like catching a snipe?

Answer: Take along a bunch of other people who have no clue what you are talking about.

What do you do when ... you have to read a book with a 4 inch binding and size 10 font?
Answer: Push it off till tomorrow. Perhaps by then the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics will kick in and the book will either "entropy" into less reading, or you will have more "free energy" to expend.
