I'm back from Pennsylvania. Had a good time. I'm just too lazy to write down all the things we did... okay I'll list a few:
Went to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.
Rode on a canal boat.
Rode a bike across a wire high in the air (it was safe- it's the sky bike at the Franklin Institute)
Rode in a flight simulator (fun!).
Went to Ahmish country and saw lots of Ahmish, Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16778332324861295575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288143.post-1083463986998794222004-05-01T19:06:00.000-07:002004-05-01T19:17:27.560-07:00Like a chicken with my head cut off...
I was going to write a blog entry about my trip today, but I couldn't find my trip itenerary to remember everything I did. lol
So I'll just wait until my pictures are developed and I can find another one or something.

I haven't had time to type up an entry about my trip yet, but it's coming. Maybe today.
Fragments of bone I found on the ground around a large dinosaur skeleton in the middle of the desert.
Fossil shark teeth from an area where they get stirred up rather often by the wind.

I'll be leaving on Wednesday for a mission trip to New Mexico. Twenty-three kids and (think) 9 adults are going. We'll be gone for two weeks- getting back on the 26th. It's gonna be an interesting experience! Drive 5 hours to Pittsburgh to catch the airplane and have a layover in Minneapolis for two hours, then resume the trip to New Mexico.

Back from my trip! I had a great time! Before we went to take the ACT's, we went to Southern Adventist University. I fell in love with it while there. It's wonderful. I'm not sure, but I think I've decided that my major will be Animation (of the 3d variety) and, if I can manage taking both simultaneously, I'll minor in Practical Theology.
Oh and just in case you were wondering Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16778332324861295575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288143.post-1080765804162346832004-03-31T12:40:00.000-08:002004-03-31T12:47:01.326-08:00Be back Monday!
I'll be back on Monday- I'm leaving this evening to go to North Carolina yet again. First we're going to Southern Adventist College for college days. Then, on the weekend, we're going to "Aunt Susie's" house again and to the testing center on Sunday. Last time (if you read my previous entries) was for the SAT's... this time it's to take the ACT's.

Well... things are kinda resolved. The teacher gets to stay, but not as principal anymore. Just as a teacher. Which is okay I guess. And two other teachers resigned. Not gonna say too much about the matter, lest my post be read by eyes who are already in on the situation at hand and they get the wrong idea.
Overall- a lot of the stress is relieved for everyone. So thanks Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16778332324861295575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288143.post-1077210662599215552004-02-19T08:53:00.000-08:002004-02-23T09:51:52.110-08:00Conflict is a slippery slope...
You know what... it's unfortunate that among so many Christians in my church, there can be so much conflict. I suppose it boils down to whose influence they're truely under- God's or Satan's. After all, don't you think Satan would want his workers in the church to throw wrenches into its inner workings? Even the very elect will be deceived by him.

Just so anyone who cares knows, my email address stopped working for some reason. So you can now reach me at short_sleeved_pants at yahoo dot com. (it's spread out to avoid spam bots).

This is ridiculous. How could this happen!

Absolutely ridiculous! I guess it would be easy enough... I mean... snakes ARE cold blooded, so some sort of high-tech-terrorist-thwarting-machine wouldn't really find the snake in there if it was searching for heat.
But still... it's insane!

Just remembered what I could be working on.
Suppose I should do that.

Okay... now to explain my absence and bore you with all the details.
Myself, Lori, Demetria, Brandon, and Timothy from my tiny little school all went to North Carolina over the weekend (from Thursday night to Monday night...big weekend).
We went (aside from Timothy) to take the SATs.

I'm aware of the problem with comments right now. The link to comment on posts is just ONE link at the bottom of the page. A problem that definitly needs fixed. However, I'm leaving tonight to go to North Carolina with my friends to take the SAT's and we won't get back until Monday night. There might be a computer up there for me to post using, but I doubt it.

Amazing... I bought some pajama pants at wal-mart. And they were apparently so delicate that they had to be placed in their own shopping bag. I can understand the bread getting its own bag, among a world of cans. But surely the cloth pants wouldn't damage the bread.
