Ugh...got to keep up with this thing!

Wellll....I can't decide if I really want to pick this back up or not. I think I shall, if only to get people to read this again before I ... well, I shouldn't get ahead of myself.

I'm going to Haiti this summer, from July 5th to August 16th, to help out in a medical clinic in the NW region. It's run by a missionary family that we know. I'm really looking forward to going, and I hope it will be both a spiritually enlightening and mentally and physically strengthening trip. Before I leave, I plan to post on something called G90X, which is similar to the body workout program called P90X...except better, in my humble opinion. Stayed tuned to hear more about that! :-D (<--- that's an incentive to get you to come back and read more. ;) ).

Last semester went well, as I finished with all A's in my classes. This Spring semester I took General Chemistry 2, Chemistry Lab, Hero and Quest, Human Genetics, and Introduction to Society. Genetics was quite involved, as I spent many hours in the lab sexing, typing, and counting fruit flies. Oh the joy, the happiness, the...anguish of sitting for hours (total) at a lab bench with your eyes glued to a microscope and the probe in your hand separating flies by sex and mutant characteristics. Anyways, that's done now, thank God! Intro to Society was laaaammmeee... as are most of the soft science general education classes. Easy A though. :-D Hero and Quest was different then any other class I've been in. Our professor told us the first day of class that he was not a teacher so much as he was a fellow colleague of ours wanting to help us on our journey in life. His goal in the class was to have non-consensus seeking arguments put forth and argued upon from our moral standpoints. Definitely an interesting class, especially when you have fairly fundamental Christians like myself arguing with liberal feminists.

This next semester, I have Anatomy, Physics, Communication, and a music history class. I've decided (at least until I get told I can't or something else comes up) that I'm gonna try to get a music minor at school. I have the 'time' (as far as credit hours go) to do so, and I figure I might as well try for another minor rather then taking meaningless classes. So we'll see how that goes. :-D

I also got an iPod Touch a few weeks ago. Definitely loving that. There's a website, http://www.freeappaday.com, that offers one application (normally non-free) per day for free. Sometimes the apps are cool and totally worth getting a checking out, and sometimes they are incredibly stupid. But, to each their own, and I know I've enjoyed some of the puzzle-type games that have been offered in the past.

Anyways, I think that's enough for now! Please check back soon, as I hope to keep this blog somewhat up-to-date pending my trip to Haiti. I'd like to have this blog serve as a medium to show/tell my experiences in Haiti.

So long for now!
