What a day.



So I'm totally bored out of my mind today. "But Joe, with all you have going in and so much work for school, how can you be bored?" I hear you asking. Well that's what happens when you lock yourself out of your house and all the stuff you have for all your classes is locked inside. So I'm banished to the School of Theology (SOT) all day trying to pass the time. Luckily I was able to borrow a book and finish my reading for my class this evening, but it's not a ton of reading so I've still got 2 hours to kill. I've walked around the library a couple of times, I even ventured to the 2nd and 3rd floors today, places I'd never visited before. I doubt I'll go back.

The SOT lounge is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. I'm glad that we worked on remodeling it over Christmas break so I don't have to spend the day with the horrific stencils.

Thus has been my day. Hopefully Gwynne will get home before I have to leave for my 6 p.m. class so that I can get my books and stuff, but if not, oh well. I wonder how Mr. Kitty's doing?

Later,

Joe

Happy Fishes!



Wow so I've let nearly a MONTH pass since I've updated this huh? So much for trying to do better for the sake of Rhett's whining. Oh well! I thought you might like to see the new home for our fishes that we got thanks to Scott and Kristie! They're very glad to not be cramped in that tiny tank any more (the fishes not Scott and Kristie) and though they were a bit shocked at first they enjoy all the room now! The BEST part is that it has allowed me to fulfill a dream I have had for a VERY long time. You see this isn't any old ordinary fish tank! That's right we have our very own aquarium in a console TV...




...ta da! Isn't that great! It looks so cool in our house! So I wanted to share about that. Let's see what else has been going on?

1. Gwynne's work is going well! She really likes her job and has a lot of fun with the people there. They invent words like jankety (jaink-eh-tee) adj. anything that is rickety, falling apart or questionable. i.e. "Rhett used a lot of duct-tape to fix his jankety computer."

2. School's started for me. I like it a lot and it's been much easier to get into the flow of studying and stuff. For my Leadership class I have to find a group and lead it for 30 hours so I'm leading the youth praise band at church. It's a ton of fun and a great learning experience, plus I finally get to use my love for music to worship the Lord!

3. FINALLY (for today), The new CD UNEXPTECTED by Travis Raymond is officially here! You can go to www.travis-raymond.com and order it for only $15 (including shipping)! It's a great CD and I absolutely think Trav is brilliant! Give it a listen will you.

Ok that's it for now. I'll hopefully write more later.
