Only two more weeks of school left, yet it’s the busiest two weeks of school. Although, it feels a bit like a roller coaster right now with so many things going on. Scores of projects due, and finals coming up as well… it’ll be so nice when it’s over!
A pretty cool video of some guy who put together a video of him “playing” the piano and a drum set. The video is pretty hard to explain, so just watch it!
So my life in marching band is now over. In a way, I’m actually quite sad. Never again will I be able to play on the field again. Sure, things were tough sometimes and unloading and loading the truck was a pain. But I really enjoyed it. The picture you see above is all of the seniors for 2006. I may not know all of them quite as well as I might like, but there is some sort of bond between us, even with me only participating in band for the short time of two years. I will say this much, if I attend any Samford games next year, which I most likely will if I live in the area, it will be a very odd feeling. It won’t quite feel the same actually sitting in the stands watching as opposed to playing. I can’t quite fathom that feeling yet…
The infamous Donaldson project(s) still loom over my head. I really have been working hard on this project, but it’s honestly going nowhere. I have some sort of bug in my code that I can’t quite track down… and it’s driving me crazy! I’m sure it’s something small and stupid, but I can’t find it. I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do if I can’t find/finish it by this next Tuesday. My only other hope is that no one else in the class has finished the project either and Donaldson will postpone the project again.
I also had a good talk with someone today. I honestly wish I could do more for people than just pray for them, but I honestly don’t know what I can do. I know God has given me a passion to help people, sometimes I just don’t know how. I know I need prayer myself, I am by no means a perfect person. But I pray that God will always provide to me a cheerful spirit that I can at least always be encouraging to others.
Ultimately, my goal is to strive to be like Him daily, and to grow closer in my relationship to Him. Sure, I have my own wants and needs in life, but it’s amazing how simple those seem when I really do focus on Him. It’s just disappointing that my human nature limits me sometimes to what kind of capacity God would provide if I truly had a heart for him 24/7. I know God will provide for me, I trust that He will provide for me. I truly and honestly believe that; I just need the patience to wait for His guidance.
Ahh… November finally. A time when the season begins to turn chilly and cold. I love the weather this time of year, it’s always so nice out and feels so good. Especially considering that I’m typically hot natured (which makes it difficult in the summer months).
Last night, I went over to Brett and Deidre’s apartment for a Halloween party and I had a great time! We all came dressed up of course, and had some food, fun, and games. The best part however wasn’t just the games but what we did. Instead of Trick or Treating like normal, we went around Trick or Treating for canned goods for the Jimmie Hale Mission’s Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless. And in less than probably 30 minutes of going around houses in Homewood, we collected 98 cans. Isn’t that amazing? After that we goofed off and played Apples to Apples and then watched the Corpse Bride.
My project(s) for Current Topics also got postponed as well, so that’s another blessing in this week. Sadly, our last football game is this weekend however… but this week still is looking pretty good!
