the update

So alot has been going on lately. Hear are some highlights...
-Baseball is still going on, it's what's been taking up the most of my time as i have practice everyday and games basically take up my whole day as i'm there from 9am till around 6pm. The team is doing better, we currently have a 9-17-1 (4-8 conference record). The team is young and has made great strides since the beginning of the school year. We have a road trip this weekend to the Ozarks...
-School is going, i'm working on getting my grades up to make mommy and daddy proud. But school has been hard as teachers like to assign a lot of stuff at one time, which never makes it fun, but i'm grinding through it. so yeah, school is school, i'm trying to enjoy it, but it's hard to when you don't really enjoy what you're learning (insert intro to fine arts here)
-I'm excited for next year! Next year, if you haven't heard/read yet i'm going to be one of the RA's (Resident Assistants) for the honors apartments on campus. I've already met some of the people i will be working with and the RD (Resident Director), Corey Ross, is a really cool guy. So i am really excited to get to know and work with these people in the days to come!
-Heidi and I are doing wonderful! Today we had a wonderful steak lunch provided by the Zietlow family who have also been a blessing for me while i've been down here away from my family. We're both busy with school and other commitments so we always look foward to our Chick-fil-a (which is amazing) and wal-mart dates! Heidi's amazing!
So that's what's been going on here in Texas. It's starting to get hot and humid out which is yucky, but hopefully it'll make for some exciting storms here someday! Well, i'm looking forward to going home in May, i can't wait!

what i've been up to...

So, here'a run down of what i've been up to.
The other day i went on an Art Field trip to Dallas. It was kinda boreing, we got stuck there for 2 extra hours because our bus wouldn't start, so that was tuff. We went to the Dallas Art Museum, the Hall of Texas, and the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, that was pretty cool.

This was a cool tower in downtown Dallas.

Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center. It had a huge organ

Outside the Hall of Texas.
Here's some other various stuff i've been up to.

The Cal fan club during the last game of the year.
Among all of these things i've been busy observing for my education course, which has been fun, doing homework, which isn't fun, and working with baseball, practices and games. So i've been busy and i finally got a weekend to update this thing, so enjoy it and have a wonderful day!

OUCH!

So today i was tossing batting practice and the sun was right behind the batter, so i couldn't see where i was throwing the ball, it was fun, i didn't hit anybody! BUT...i got hit, i got it hard, right in the side. It left a nice mark as well (see picture) I odviously didn't see it coming (sun in background) all i heard was "ping" and then "thud". It hurt!

Semester 2 under way...

My second semester here at Letourneau has begun! I am enrolled in 16 credit hours (17 counting a baseball credit), and as mentioned i'll be student assistant coaching for baseball this season, 1st base coach! Here's a look at my classes i'll be taking this semester...

Monday/Wednesday/Friday
Biology II - I'm not taking bio I here because i took it at River Falls. I also have a lab late thursday evening. This class seems like it will get more interesting as the semester goes on and we get into things that interest me more, right now it's protista stuff, kinda boreing.

Planning & Assessment - this is my first education course i'll be taking and i'm pretty excited to finally dive into some educational stuff. This course basically covers how to plan for a class and how to assess what you've accomplished.

Intro to 8-12 Education (Wednesday only) - This class is my first practicum. For this class i'll get to do some observing in a P.E. class, which i am excited about. It will be nice to get into some more education focused classes.

Children's Health (Monday, Wednesday only) - this class is taught by Dr. J, my favorite prof! This class focuses on childrens health and wellness and how we can have a positive effect on their heath.

Tuesday/Thursday
Intro to Fine Arts - this class is a general ed course about art that i have to take...grrrr...this class will be hard to get through but i'll do what i can. We do get to take a trip to the art museum in Dallas, so that hopefully will be fun and not full of stupid busy work that we have to do.

Biblical Literature - Here is were ADHD and the Bible meet. Dr. Baker, bless his heart, probably couldn't stay on one topic for more than 2 minutes. It is hilarious to watch and listen to him as Josh Lawson and I sit in the back and watch. The course should be fun, espessially with him up there.

Baseball - This will keep me busy as i'll have practices and games to work with. I'll get to travel with the team, so that will mean missing some classes, hopefully it won't hurt me too bad, but if things start to get ugly i'll have to drop baseball. DUring the season i'll be at first base, and filling out scouting sheets while we're on the field. It's pretty exciting, i got my own locker and everything.

Other than those everything is going well. Heidi and I are still dating, she's supposed to come over here soon and cut my hair for me. We're doing well, we try to find time for each other but it's hard with our classes and other activitiesm but we're doing fine! I'm also having a blast on the floor as we attend some basketball games, play basketball, raquetball, and lift together. Well, that's all i have for now, hopefully i can take some more fun pictures to share with you guys (still not into this whole ya'll thing...)

Redneck Night at the LU basketball game

So the other night was redneck night at the LU v. Mississippi College basketball game. Mississippi college was ranked number 23 in the nation and we're not that good. So we got blown out, but that didn't prevent Ed, Brain, and AJ from dressing down.
