Spring Break and Geocaching

Spring break is coming up for me. I have in Mar. 2-12. It's going to be nice to go home for a while. But with a break, comes lots of work. I have two big tests this week along with a bunch of homework, so that's a bummer.

For my birthday I got a GPS unit. So, I took one of my roommates geocaching yesterday. We found two. It was a great time, and I can't wait to go again. For those of you who went, I'm sure you miss it. And for those of you who didn't, you should have.

Winter Camp Rocks My World

This past weekend I went back to Rhinelander to go to winter camp. It was an awesome time. The services were good and it was a good refresher for me. Also, I got to see a lot of people that I know. Barron, Rhinelander, and the church I go to here were all there along with a few smaller churches, so I basically knew almost everyone. It was fun.

It was freezing though. The first morning it was -20 degrees F. Talk about cold. I walked outside and the snot in my nose froze! It warmed up to about 0 during the day. We went cross country skiing, tubing, and played broomball. I had a ton of fun despite the cold. It was so cold the first night and we were playing broomball outside. I was getting really cold so I ran back to the little coffee shop thing we had there, and my nose was beginning to get frost bitten. They said that your skin will turn white/gray and when I walked in someone said that mine was. Of course, it wasn't that big of a deal. I just had to put my hand on it and let it warm up. My nose was stiff, but eventually warmed up and it was good.

So, it was a pretty eventful weekend. Oh, Michael had a basketball tournament this weekend too and they got 1st place. He had 10 points in the first game, 10 in the second, and 13 in the third. My mom told me that in one of the games, he and another kid were going at it. They were getting more and more physical and stealing the ball from each other. Finally, Michael stole the ball from him, and the kid turned and shoved Michael onto the ground. All Michael did is get up and walk to the free throw line. We taught him so well! haha

Well, I hope you are all doing good. Have a great week. Oh, and for those of you that didn't have school today, you are lucky. :)

Cos writes (whatever vol. this is now): Like an intellectual

Merriest of greetings and salutations to the sundry comrades of mine,

So as not to squander my meager moment here, I shall hastily inform the entirety of you pertaining to my life experiences since my last maundering.

The academy wherein I live and study, by means of programs from organizations guided by pupils, graciously provided for me to utilize my adroitness with a guitar, piano, and the most recent challenge, a mandolin.

I gleefully performed on the second of February according to our current twelve month calender, a date regarded by a myriad of the populace as "Groundhog Day." Solicitously considering the prominence of this supposed holiday, I circumspectly crafted a ditty on the aforementioned mandolin entitled "Ignoring My Shadow." The gloaming of sonic production coupled with aesthetic delectation pleasantly possesses my recollection of my latest happenings.

The elder of my two beloved female siblings has, as of last Monday, been alive (that is to say, been alive from the time of uteral evacuation and not from the time of zygote production) for a score minus two, currently my age as well.

My beloved mother, as of this very day (the eighteenth of February) has reached yet one more year further into her existence, a precise number of which shall remain surrepticius.

My beloved father will discover this same new age of existence ten days beyond my mother's. In summary, the days of celebration of birth and life are manifold in this contemporary season.

Other tidings I could possibly mention, but a vague awareness of an already protracted and reasonably boring account has penetrated these considerations of mine, so I shall desist from such notions.

New Look

This is my new look for a while. I hope you all like it!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

The Perfect Play

My family came to visit me this weekend because I had my last game today. Jordan stayed the night with me in the dorms, and then we went Geocaching this morning before my game. It was pretty fun. That's the first time I've gone Geocaching for quite a while. Last time I went was with Elijah and Darin when they visited.

Anyway, today we won our last game to end the year with 3 wins in a row and a 6-7 record. I played the best I have all year long, so that was encouraging and cool because my family was there. I scored 8 points, which is the second highest for me this year. So, here's the stage for the perfect play.

There was 2 min left in the game and we were ahead by 15 or so. This one kid has been hitting a lot of 3's on us so I'm guarding him and he goes to shoot. I jump and force him into shooting an airball. I run down the court and they throw the ball to me. As I catch the ball, I take one step and jump as I'm still turning around. I throw the ball into the rim for a dunk. Ba-da. Out sails the ball. I missed the only chance I had all year to dunk it. haha oh well.

I hope you enjoyed the story. :)

been a while...crazybusy life...though I'd stop to say hi...

HI!!!!!!

Some cool things.

Hey. I hope you all had a wonderful time this past weekend during all the homecoming festivities. I'm sure you did. :)

Things have been going well here. My family is coming to visit me this weekend to see my last game! It's going to be awesome. Then the weekend after that I'm going to Rhinelander for a winter camp. I'm pretty excited.

Yesterday, our chapel speaker spoke about prayer and how we should spend more time doing it. The opened up a room and set it up with a bunch of stuff for a 48 hour prayer room. So, for 48 straight hours, at least one student was in there praying. We went last night for our hall Bible study. It was awesome and something that I really needed. I just thought I'd tell you since it was really good.

Have a great week everyone!

fun missed good times :)
