So two days in and ballhandling is going good, and I'm definitely not as good as I'd like to be, so I'm pretty happy to get to work. Also, I got back to the club, so working out is always good. I realized that I need to put on a good amount of muscle before basketball, so I'm starting to make a slight conscious effort to eat healthier. More lean meats, salads, you know, healthy stuff that helps you build muscle. It feels good to eat well and work out, almost like it's what is good for me... nah.
So now, I have been accepted to 6 schools, I'm pretty okay with this. Corban and Whitworth's acceptance letters came today. All this college stuff just gets me excited. Senior year is almost halfway over, finals are in mid January but Christmas break starts tomorrow. Next year at this time, I will be done with college finals most likely, and either playing basketball or headed home for Christmas. It's crazy to think about, but the weird thing is you can never know what will happen in the next year. I had much different plans for my senior year, it was supposed to be "the best year of your life! Yaaayyyyyy!" to state the common conception about senior year. I'm not going to get back into that, but I'm stoked for my future, no matter if it involves basketball, optometry, certain colleges, or anything else I want. As long as I let God take me where he wants me, I'll be fine.
So I took a spiritual gifts test in Bible yesterday. It was odd. Some of the questions were loony. However, I was already quite sure that I am not a prophet or a healer. Not exactly my forte. But I feel like my top 2, Faith and Music, arent very insightful for spiritual gifts. Faith??? I think that is part of buying into Christianity, it better be a pretty high category! Music, yeah it's a gift that can be used for God's Kingdom, but lets be serious, I wouldnt call it a spiritual gift. Things like encouragement, serving, and teaching are spiritual gifts, I wouldnt say getting up and playing guitar really qualifies in those categories. I guess it kind of is, but it's one of those things that is hard to harness and build up Gods Kingdom on a day to day basis. I play in chapel once a week, and Intersect less than once a month. "Oh, I recieve Word from God on things he thinks the body needs to work on." "I enjoy serving the needy, crippled, anything where someone needs help." "Oh I occasionally bust out a few tasty licks on the ol guitar." Just doesnt seem to be quite the same, but its true that it is an important thing in the church. I dont know, I just needed to ramble a bit about that.
Speaking of music, Chiodos new CD is tight. I cant handle the guys voice or the slightly creepy guitar riffs. Queens Club also has a new EP that is pretty nice, I actually like the acoustic versions of a few of their songs.
I don't really want to go to school tomorrow. It's just going to be an hour and a half of nothing, though I might go grab a few treats from my first grade ta since they are having a party. I know, I say that right after I mention wanting to eat better, oh well, 1 cookie or something aint bad. I just want to do some musical stuff, i have an itch to perform a bit for some reason, I want to work out, and I want to improve at bball.
Lastly, I have watched SNL's best of Will Ferrel several times in the past week, I should probably return it to Hastings, but it is so funny. One might say it is a blinding, brilliant light from heaven. If you havent seen Dissing Your Dog, please do. I can relate so much to the main guy, Dave, since I too enjoy insulting my families dogs, namely Cooper.
Excited for Christmas break, Shy Ronnie
