Well I made it to college. I figure I should write a post before my classes start to give me homework and stuff. I have my doubts about how many blogs I will be writing in the next few weeks.
So update, I am now in Newberg, OR, at George Fox University. If you didn't know. Roommate is working out well, and my dorm floor is cool and stuff. Nothing too terribly exciting. My classes seem good but they will be pretty challenging. Again, not very exciting.
Okay I'll talk about bball. I think it is going to be pretty darn hard to make it on the team. This year that is. A lot of the guys are just a lot older than me, it makes a difference. Oh well, that doesn't mean I won't try as hard as I can, and heck, maybe I can squeeze onto the team if I continue to improve a lot. Basically, I am going into every day right now with an attitude to work as hard as I can and learn as much as I can. I need to work on some aspects of my game to get them college ready. Whether I make the team or not, I am confident that I will improve drastically over the next 6 weeks. If I make it, cool. If not, I have another year to train and i am quite confident that I would easily make it then. I am excited for some high quality competition.
Classes. Dang it I have to talk about immigration in English and of course I have to in English. And since it is Oregon, I have just a slightly different opinion than a lot of people around here... For those of you who don't understand, let me put it another way. In general, I support Arizona's new laws about immigration. I am willing to have my mind changed if you think there is something inhumane about it that you can convince me of, but I am a fan of protecting borders.
I went to a church called Grace Baptist on Sunday, and I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I like to wear t shirts and stuff to church, while this church seemed slightly more formal. Also, the music was kind of old fashioned, even lacking an electric guitar. There were two acoustics, and they were very strong on piano. On the other hand, the preacher was pretty awesome. I didn't really have any questions about whether I agreed with the Baptist denomination, but if I did, he basically cleared it all up in this sermon. It featured the gospel clearly laid out(something I like in sermons), said liberal philosophies like universalism, homosexuality, and sex before marriage were wrong, among other things. So basically he gives the word straight. And he is pretty funny and charismatic to go along with it. So yeah, I might go to another church next sunday, but I will definitely keep Grace Baptist in consideration for a home church.
Okay, that is good for today
