All in all, a good year

So school's out for the summer, and I'm back in Midland. Classes went pretty well and my GPA should stay about as high as it was last semester. Next year I will also be the Wireless Project manager for my enterprise. Both of those things are very good for finding internships.

Next year I live off campus with Lackey and Soap, which should be fun. A little more space and better arrangements, plus we can do more with it. Plus it's close to campus, my church, and some friends, so living arrangements are primo.

And finally, a friend and I finally realized something that took 2 years to see...

High times

Last friday was spring fling. Always fun, just slightly chilly. Then sunday was Easter, which meant Jesus came and gave us all candy so our sins can be forgiven.

I played soccer pretty much every day this week, and I'm loving it. I've missed sports so much recently. We also won the first game of our tournament, so we get to keep playing.

I also won the doubles 8-ball tournament in my billiards class and got third in singles 9-ball. Go defense!

This comic was VERY familiar. Not the last frame so much, but the other three.

Nearing the end...

School is getting busy and interesting once again. Too many papers, and it still hasn't quite sunk in that it's almost summer. Hopefully the job search will go alright and I can make some scratch.

So my church up here has decided to become a part of some new group. The idea is to be non-discriminatory to people of all sexual orientations. I'm slightly concerned. I definitely not in favor of hate crimes or bigotry, but I'm also not too sure that the church should condone homosexuality. I've never seen a passage in the Bible condoning homosexuality, but I've seen many suggesting it to be a sin. I'm certainly not sure, but I'd rather not err against God.

I'm not sure, I'm not perfect, and I'm not judging. But still, I don't think homosexuality has a place in the church. However, if someone has a strong faith and knowledge of the Bible and still feels that homosexuality is acceptable to God, then I will not judge them. I cannot agree with them, but if they truly feel it is right, I cannot tell them otherwise.

BUT, if anyone feels that it COULD be a sin, then it is for them. Of course, that makes them a sinner just like the rest of us. As far as whether they're worse than the rest of us... who knows?

Stuff

So we finished our indoor soccer season on tuesday. Now we prepare for an outdoor tournament.

Riya is now public, so you can check out my pictures. Most of them are private, so you'll have to add me as a contact. Fun software, everyone should check it out.

It's our gay pride week up here. My only complaint is the amount of cash that gets poured into it. $2000 for a drag show alone. Add a comedian and speaker and you've got a hefty wad of cash.

Then looking at their wishlist (thumb drives for members, a laptop, a car, a house, and a nightclub) I get even angrier (fortunately they're asking for donations outside the university).

Can't GLBT people buy their own thumb drives? I did not know that. They taught me something today. A laptop I can see for their presentations, though.

The cars they want are ridiculous (PT Cruiser, Grand Caravan, Econovan, or Lotus Elise). Seriously, if you want to move a lot of people, go ahead and get a minivan, but a Lotus? It's really cocky for a student organization to ask for a $43k, two-seat sportscar to TRANSPORT IT'S MEMBERS!

Five bedroom house? They're all bought, sorry.

And a NIGHTCLUB? Seriously, you should have thought of that before you decided to live in HOUGHTON! You do have a choice as to where you go to school, you're not being forced here. Now get a clue and if you REALLY want to party so much, get out of here.

Sorry for the rant, but arrogance really pisses me off. ESPECIALLY since Fencing club is on a shoestring budget and actually NEEDS equipment.

Fun week

Well, things have been interesting here. Solo's girlfriend came up for a visit, so we had a full group. Friday evening was pretty laid back, but enjoyable. Saturday we had a fencing tournament with NMU. I didn't do to well (combination of being out of practice, having a weak ankle, and just being unfocused), but the club won gold in all three weapons. Then we hung around the dorms the rest of the night after dinner at the Library. Today we defended our hall cup in dodgeball. We went 3-0 and never had fewer than 6 people on the court at a time. This is the same hall that changed the rules to beat us in ultimate frisbee last time, so this was a great revenge.

Now for another week...
