So some dece stuff has happened in the past few days. First, I finally got out of Bible class 7th period to get into worship team. I still have to do some independent study for Bible, so its not like I'm completely free yet. And dont worry, I have gone straight to work in worship team, since we are planning on doing In Exile by Thrice this wednesday. I am not sure whether I am singing or not, but so far it looks like I am for that song. It's so beast, I know I have never talked about how much I like Thrice before...
So tomorrow I head off for Pacific, to scholarship it up. I would be fine with people shooting God off a prayer to make this trip convincing about where I should go. I am pretty unexcited to write essays and do logic problems for money, I would much rather just answer chemistry questions, but whatever.
So one thing that is making Fox stand out more over Pacific is their coaches responding to me. George Fox's coach sent me back an email Wednesday morning, giving me a free pass to the games to watch their style of play, and a way to possibly talk to him during the girls game. However, the coach at Pacific, yeah, I havent heard back from him. And which team has a worse record, by a pretty decent amount? Oh yeah, Pacific. What did I stress that I was good at in my email? shooting, ballhandling and work ethic. And I dont know about Fox, I will find out saturday, but I know Pacific has an urgent need of shooters and people that can handle the ball. So yeah, not getting a response is not a good sign.
The George Fox coach asked me to bring some film of me so he could see my play. Well, I was not very good last year, I improved a lot, and I didnt have any DVDs of games edited(I just got DVDs today and will try to find some reasonable stuff). So instead, just so he could get a basic idea of some of my skills, I went out and recorded a quick video to give to him on saturday. Some of you might have already seen it on Facebook, but if you havent, here is the url: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24BR7TI9PVk.
Hopefully the coach likes it, I know I like it alright, but I'm pretty used to doing the ballhandling so I was actually more excited about how my shot looked. Its never a bad thing when your shooting reminds you of a video of Steve Nash shooting free throws over and over.
New Vintage was a pretty nice experience last night, talking about being born into sin and how we can overcome being "born this way." Yes that was a lady gaga reference used in church. Also I am still somehow a stud at dodgeball even if I cant run, jump, or put much explosion in my throws due to not wanting to twist on the follow through. Also, this might sound like "duh", but I am way stronger than I was freshman year. Like I throw faster, and I havent played baseball since freshman year, and like I said I wasnt going all out on my throws.
Lastly, yesterday I did my group presentation in Interpersonal Communications with my 60 year old group partner Joe. I think it went alright, I mean, we didnt do anything with sparklers, silly string, or skits involving kidnapped native americans, so I'm guessing Senor Chan.. I mean Mr. Wutzke wont give me an F.
So, yeah, wish me luck on my trip this weekend.
