Farewell - 2006-03-15 |
2004-08-17 - 10:09 a.m. I'm back from Tenn. It was a great trip! It was really nice to meet some of Schwang's relatives. They were all very nice and I don't think I've ever met Southern Baptists with such a sense of humor. I only stopped laughing long enough to eat their mighty tasty southern food. By the end of the trip Schwang said he might not mind moving to the south! YES!!! I don't know how long I can take these winters. Right now I'm all fine in dandy but in a couple months I'll be miserable - at least weather wise. And speaking of weather, it was really freaking cold in Tenn! As soon as we got there (of course) a cold front hit them. It probably never got above 80 and got down to the high 40s at night. I was freezing and never did get to wear my shorts. I was a little disappointed. The wedding itself was interesting. Too much singing (and not really all that good singing either) for my taste. It was simple though and apparently the sisters of the bride prepared most everything - including making all the mints and the box of truffles for everyone to take home with them (which are REALLY good). I did meet a lot of people while I was there and I just hope I don't forget who is who. With there being 7 kids in that family it's a little hard to keep everybody straight. But I've at least gotten to the point where I can name everyone. Check this out (clears throat): Becky - she's the oldest one who got married last year to this guy named Jared. He's a scrawy white guy who is very nice and very funny.
I think that's it... I might actually have my class schedule worked out for this coming semester. I've been tinkering with it a lot recently. The communications school was really mean and went behind my back and changed the professor teaching my 8am class. So, my hardest class of my TVR degree career was going to be taught by my least favorite teacher at 8am. No, wasn't going to happen. As a direct result I spent a solid 3 hours on campus running around from one group of people to the next switching out of her awful class and getting put into a writing class. I don't need the writing credit, but I like writing and it will be fun and so much more enjoyable than being greated by Prof. Morgenstern first thing in the morning (shudders at the thought). This afternoon I have a meeting with Allison (the PC chaplain). I'm not quite sure what we're going to discuss. There's a lot of things I need to start working on (as the Service chair), but I have no idea where to begin, who to contact and so on and so forth. Hopefully I'll be making at least some progress. The rest of my day is pretty typical - well, typical for the past couple weeks at least: eat lunch with Schwang and move stuff. I'm really getting sick of moving things and setting up my computer. Granted, it's a lot quicker to set up than my PC ever was, but this will be like 8 times in two months or something ridiculous like that. Tomorrow I have my first meeting with my boss at the church as well as the comittee of... uh... of... educational stuff. I think that's their technical name. =P I'm a little nervous because I still have no idea what I'm suppose to be doing or why they hired me, but at least that minister won't be there. I really can't stand him. Or he shouldn't be there anyway. He seems like the type who would just show up to check on everything - "Make sure it's going okay." especially since the entire committee is women. You gotta watch out for them you know.
