Nice Weather!

So a cold front came through and we finally got some nice weather. Today it was like in the low 80's and partly cloudy all day! It was perfect! It's supposed to be nice for the next few days, so that's exciting!

Rita Update (saturday night)

So Rita has come and gone, and she didn't do much. We had some strong winds which snapped a few trees, but other than that there's just a lot of leaves and twigs around campus. We got a lot of rain, so there's a few places with standing water, but nothing like what was predicted. We never lost power again after this morning, so the guys on our floor played Halo all day. It was an interesting expirience being through a tropical storm i guess it was. Thanks for all your prayers!

Rita Update (12pm)

So, on my way to Saga to get lunch i took some pictures of the damage Rita has done so far.

Here's a picture of all the little branches that have fallen off of trees so far.


And the first of probably many trees snaps! According to forcasts it's only going to get worse, more rain, more wind! Ok, time to dry out!

Rita Update (9/24 10am)

So here's the Rita update for this morning. It started to rain around 9am this morning, around that time there was also a few, many 3 power surges, i could hear the fan in our room die and then come back. Also, while i was out taking pictures i left our TV on and returned to find that there was no TV anymore! The rain is getting heavier by the minute! News people are saying that when it stalls it could dump over 20 inches of rain! I tried to capture it with some pictures...

The eve of the storm

we're screwed...

So, looking at this prediction it looks like the hurrican is going to stall out right over longview, that's where i am. I've heard that we could lose power for 3-5 days, fairly strong winds, get 10-15 inches of rain, so that's the exciting news we've been hearing up here. And the effects are being felt all the way up here. I wish i would have brought my camera with us to Wally World (wal-mart) this evening, it was crazy, they were running out of food, they didn't have any water, people were loading up! We got a few things, some canned foods, some beverages, we might try to get some water later. It's pretty exciting though, i've never been through a hurrican before, or even close to one, so we'll see how she goes! But please be in prayer that things would get too crazy around here, cause it's all ready getting bad, i mean, it's taking people 16 hours to get from Houston to Dallas (normally 4 hours). If i have power i'll try to keep you guys updated, but if we don't i'll be taking pictures which i'll post when we get power back. Anyways, i'll try to keep you guys (like all 2 of you) up to date on what's going on down here in Texas!

Rita Update

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!....this could be fun...

The guys showing off their guns...

Here's some of us guys showing off our "guns"...yeah...whatever...i'm working on mine, they're a work in progress. I can't believe i put this up here.

Hurricane Rita!!!!!!!

The arrow points to about where LeTourneau is, so it's looking like sunday-ish we'll be getting a lot of ran...maybe monday...who knows! But she's a comin!!

Sun through the trees!

at least i thought it looked kinda neat...

Meet some of the guys!

Here's Brian, aka "cap'n Black" he's the man and a really cool kid!


Here's Chip...don't ask


Matt aka "Maverick" from the movie topgun, not sure why, but another interesting character on T3.


Chuck aka "The Kid" another cool kid on T3.


Alex aka iceman...my roommate, really cool guy, we have lot's of fun together and a lot in common. He's from colorado.

I'll try to get more pictures of my friends i'm making here on T3 so you can see who i hang out with and stuff like that. Otherwise school is going well, i'm also working out everyday for baseball. I'm either swimming, lifting, throwing, hitting, running, you name it, and we scrimmage every saturday morning! It's good for me though, i'll get in better shape and better at baseball, i think i might actually have a shot at making the team! But i'll have to work hard here to impress the coach. Anyways, i must be off to my homework now. That's the update from the T3 Chateau! Later!

More T3 IM Football

Here's the T3 IM football team (in white) ready to attack!

T3 IM Football

Sunset Stroll

So today i decided to take a sunset stroll and see what kind of pictures i could get.

Contruction continues on the new auditorium on campus.






So that's some of the results of my sunset stroll, the other pictures either didn't turn out or i didn't like them, but that's the beauty of digital!

so far, so good...

Well, the first week of school is over, it took a while, but it's finally over! Here's a little review of what i've been up to:
MWF
Human Growth & Development - This class looks like it'll be fun, i'm pretty interested in the topic, i love learning about how the human body works.
Biblical Foundations - I'm not too sure how this class will be. The teacher is an interesting fella, he admits he's a liar and lies with a straight face, and he's a Bible teacher. But there's this egogesis paper which like 8-10 pages long that we'll have to write which won't be fun.
Motor Skill Aquisition - so far, probably my favorite class because it deals with how the body moves and how to classify it, it's really interesting and i'm looking forward to it! and the prof is really cool!
Elementary statistics - This class doesn't appear to be too hard, but i'm not much of a math whiz so anything is possible, and the teacher is a funny old man.
T TH
Foundations of Kinesiology - This class is probably my second favorite. The professor is the baseball coach so we have a lot in common and he's a pretty cool guy. The class focuses on the various areas of Kinesiology which is really interesting.
American History - It's a class that focuses on early american history. History isn't my cup of tea so i don't find it all that enjoyable, but i'll try to make it.

So that's the brief overview of my classes for this semester. There's also been other things i've been up to. I'm the Intramural rep for our floor for i'll be responsible for getting students signed up for the various sports and communicating things with them. So, it should look good on the ol' resume! Also Alex, my roommate, and I have been getting along well, we have a lot in common which is cool. So far we've been causing a little bit of trouble here and then planning stuff like freshmen orientations, which consited of a pool party and a scavenger hunt around town. The freshmen have started to come out of their shells, and we've getting to know each other. The weather sucks here, it's hot and humid and i miss Minnesotan weather, and everyone laughts when i say Minnesooota, cause they thinks it's funny. Also, Heidi and i have had fun hanging out together, we've played basketball, ate breakfast together this morning, it's been nice having here around, espessially when i need a hug :) Well, i'm off to have more fun! Have a good one!
