It’s been a long, long month without a post. Oh, and did I mention that it was long? So much has happened since my last post. In fact, I had to re-read that post to make sure that I had my chronology right!

Don week came and went, and I think that I developed much better relationships with the rest of the Dons. Almost all of it had been review from the year before, but the chance to spend a week with the team was great!!

Before I had a chance to sit down and relax, though, Frosh Week came pouncing on us! To be really honest, I think that we have a fantastic group of Frosh this year, and I’m really excited for the terms ahead. There is a lot of quality people in this college, and it’s really motivating me to make this term a great one. Oh, and the return of my long lost friends made this week even more fun.

Somewhat related to this is my decision to take a large role in planning, organizing, and running the weekly Chapel service here. I was ready to give up and let it run its course, but I had a bit of a rude awakening when I was speaking with Rodney (with whom I work for Chapel): it is not for me that I would do Chapel; it’s for God and His glory. So, with that in mind, I made the choice to do whatever I could to make sure that the residents here have a great place to find faith, learn more about it, or develop it further. Now let me tell you that this was no light decision… no, not at all. I already have a very full plate, and the pressure of doing a good job (and not causing anyone to stumble) weighed heavily on my heart. But I figured that, if God really wanted me to do this, He will provide me with the strength and resources to do it. So far, it’s been really rewarding, and I have already spotted a couple of stars in the group.. but more on Chapel later; there is far too much to say in just one post!!

My involvement with the Embassy has increased tenfold (or hundredhold..) over the past few weeks. I decided to join the Embassy Student Association Executive, and I was invited to be a part of the Embassy Staff team. I also plan on continuing my roles in the Communications and Drama teams. Sooo, I can essentially kiss a lot of my free time away! But I’m fine with that because I know that this will all be a great experience for me, and I know that I am doing God’s work.

In the college, I’m a Don for the term, and I’m the Residence Computing Consultant (RCC) for that new (monstrous) graduate building. So even when I get back home, there’s lots of stuff to keep me busy. Oh boy.. the fun never stops! And to top it all off, I have a 40+ hour work week, too! Oh life is great!

Looking ahead, I’ve officially transferred out of Software Engineering!!!!! This was a long time coming, but I finally found enough reason to dispel my stubbornness and make this (major) change. I lost a year’s worth of classes.. in fact, all of the classes that I took last term didn’t transfer, but I still had to try to maintain ‘good academic standing.’ Bah. But that is all behind me, and I am very excited about my new program: Math-Business Administration!! Pray for me on this one

So there’s the summary of what’s been happening for the past little bit. I’m sure that I’ll be commenting more about some of these parts, as time permits. Do drop me a line and let me know what’s going on in your lives!! God bless!
