So much can happen in month. In my case, much has happened to me in a month.

The job thing is finally taking a positive turn. I went in for an interview today at HH Gregg. Not sure if I have the job, but I felt good leaving there so hopefully I will hear from them in the next few days and I can start working. That was a definite uplift that I needed. Otherwise, if I didn't get the job, I'd be heading back to Michigan probably to find work there, which wouldn't be a totally bad thing...and which leads me to my next subject.
As you know, I've been hanging out with Jen, getting to know her and all that fun stuff. Well I went home earlier this week, and was there from Monday until last night. We sure got hang out more and talk for quite a while, for about 4 hours in the back of my truck watching the stars. We talked about ourselves, and basically who we really are. It reminded me how scary peoples' opinions can be, especially when you really open up and share who you are. But at the same time, the masks fall off and reality starts to shine through for what it is. I really enjoyed just lying there next to her, talking about everything. I did get to see her a little more Thursday. I'll just say this: I wasn't ready to go.
The German language school, I am definitely considering joining it for 2 months next summer. We'll see what happens to me between now and then, but right now, I'm really excited at this possibility. As I told Jen Monday night, I'm constantly trying to change and improve myself. A second language would be a fulfilling addition to me as a person I think.
I think I've pretty much hit the big things. Hope you all are doing well and enjoy your long weekend!

I dedicate this song to Monday night...

SWEETNESS IN STARLIGHT by Matt Wertz

Fallin' asleep
To the sound of the stars
Shooting round the moon
But I can't watch them fly tonight, baby
I'm too busy watchin you

I guess your smile is the sun's way
Of lighting up what's dark
So shine, shine, shine for me babe
Because it only takes a spark

Sweetness in starlight
Sweetness til daysighs
Sweetness in starlight
Sweetness til the sunrise
Sweetness in...

And there's nothing under these bright stars
That could bring this night to ruin
So hold on tightly to me babe
Cause tonight's gonna end too soon

And you're touch is potent medicine
Knocks me out with just one shot
I've never seen such strong elixer, baby
It fixes all that I'm not, Fixin all I'm not

I'm holding so tightly, baby
I wont let you go

Well I've been doing some research today. I've spent a good couple of hours looking over this website. Remember how I said I was studying German, and wanting to make it my second language, and how I've also tossed around the idea of studying in Germany for a year. Well, I've been looking at the Goethe-Institut, which as you'll see is a language school. It helps you develop your skills in German, assuming that when you're done, you're quite fluent in the language. I am seriously considering doing this. The language school part would only last about a summer or less. From there, if I wanted to study more, say more German or Bible/Theology, I would be able to study there, although that is still up in the air. But this Goethe-Institut looks like something I'd be interested in doing for a summer. What're your thoughts? Send it to me!

Well it's week two in Anderson, and still no job. Let me tell you, if you have a job, be happy. I sucks applying at 5 different places, going back and talking to them, and still getting nothing. It's very frustrating. My folks are great and helping me out until I get on my feet, which I hope will be very soon!
(btw, if YOU'D like to help, the address is...haha just kidding)
Anywho, so hopefully I hear something soon! I'll post as soon as I know something new.
I got to talk to Jen for about an hour on the phone yesterday, which is always really good. Talked about hanging out (hopefully very soon! or when I get a job would be great) and plans to go to Cornerstone, which if you don't know is a huge music festival in Illinois. Talked about movies and just about her day. Fun times as always!
I gots nothing else. Drop me a line if ya get a chance! Peace.

Hey guys!
It's been quite a while since I last wrote. Sorry about that, I've been busy with school finishing up, moving, and looking for a summer job.
Well here's an update on me...
I'm now officially a senior in college! Where did those 3 years go? Seriously, I want to go back and re-live them again before I graduate and have life happen to me. It's kind of sad. Part of my life is wrapping up again, and a new one is beginning.
My post-graduate plans: who knows? I really have no firm clue what I'm doing. Life changes so much in a year, it's kind of foolish to be thinking about what I might be doing. I do have some thoughts about possible routes: when I graduate, I will graduate with a Bible major and Christian Ministry minor, and possibly a German minor as well. With that, I could teach at a Christian school in Indiana or somewhere. I've also been tossing around the idea of going to Germany for a year to study the language and maybe some Bible stuff. I'm working on making German my second language. Let me tell you, it's frustrating starting from scratch! But I'm learning. The hardest part so far is the listening to native speaking Germans. They talk so fast, although I'm sure I sound the same way to someone learning English.
So that's one possibility. I'm not in any relationship right now, which believe me IS TOTALLY OK! I am getting to know this girl from Michigan, and hang out with her when I can. It's kind of hard doing the long distance thing when you're trying to get to know someone, and when gas prices is $2 for a freakin' gallon of gas. But we're making it work so far. I guess I could take some time for a sec to tell you about her...her name's Jen. She's from Otsego. I've met her before at Warner Camp. She's friends with a good friend of mine, Tori Worden, so I'd met her prior to now. She's an secondary-ed major, taking classes at Western and Kalamazoo Valley. (Jen if that's wrong, I'm sorry!). We've both enjoy the smooth sounds of rock music, and of course others as well. She likes tea, so when we've gone to hang out at a coffee shop, I'm wired on my mocha frapaccino and her on her Chi tea, which tastes really good by the way. She'd like to teach in a high school, chemistry or math. And her favorite band is Blindside. Good choice. Again, Jen if you read this and I totally screwed it up, hit me later! :)
I'm also living in a different house for the summer down in Anderson. 1121 East 8th Street, right across from South Campus, with my good buddy Jon Kline. Nice little house. You wouldn't think it was nice from looking at the outside, but it's really nice inside. Perfect for 2. We even have a breakfast nook by a window. It's tight.
I can't think if there is anything else...If you haven't guessed I write these things right at the computer without prior thought. Well, I suppose that's it. Now that I have the internet at my house, I hope to write here more often. Love ya'll. Email me. IM me. Whatever. Peace.
