Currently Listening Back Home By Caedmon's Call see related

I'm not sure how many people will notice this since I so rarely update.  I'm home now, and I've finished college.  I miss everybody, and it is hard thinking that it will be a long time till I see my college friends again, and then probably not all together.  Oh well, life has its transitions, and it is time to move from one stage of life to the next.

Today I went to one of my sister's trackmeet.  Actually I rode there on my new bike.  It is unseasonably cold, and it is wierd to think I am done with my track season so early when it is just past mid-season for high-schoolers (well, technically I could still be at EMU still running track).

Today my dad's computer guy finally got there three computer network up again after I rebooted the server and the drive that has all the accounting data refused to be mapped as a network drive.  I really shouldn't have rebooted the server, but this isn't what was supposed to happen.  There are hard drives laying around everywhere, ones for backup and one that is supposed to be just for cloning the local drives whenever there's a software upgrade.  At any rate Jeremy thinks we should have a computer completely dedicated to be the server (not a workstation) because he thinks some software is interfering with the setup.  All this networking is beyond me, and I need to know this kind of stuff if I'm going to Honduras, where I would both be teaching computers and be in charge of a computer lab.  That will be coming up too soon, and I really I am on the path God wants for me.

Monday I will start a sort of temporary job at Pearson's, and educational firm that publishes a lot of textbooks, and I would be scoring writing sections of what SOL tests (or the equivalent) for $11 an hour.  There will be breaks between projects so I will still work for dad when I'm not there.

That's my life at the moment.  Could seem kind of lonesome, but it isn't as long as I don't think about it that way.

So it is clear that I am pretty bad at writing blogs at any sort of frequency, and it is also clear that it is a lot easier to have time when you are home for the holidays.  So I made it all the way home from Virginia, driving with Justin Hochstettler.  Including all stops, I made it to my house just minutes under 15 hours after we left.  Maybe if we hadn't run into traffic in Charleston, WV it would have been closer to 14.5.  Boo to gas stations that don't have restrooms forcing us to have to stop at the next one (after we filled up) and notice that the next station not only had restrooms, but was also selling gas 10 cents cheaper.

We have a lot of snow on the ground, more than any other Christmas.  And I don't think it will be melting real soon.  So I'm not going on Cross Cultural or anything this time around, but next semester will be my last at EMU, which is a scary thought.  Last chance to spend lots of time with significant people including my suitemates.

So I just got a call from a Credit Card company, asking if I wanted to apply over the phone now for a new card.  The lady was nice enough when I said I already had a card (maybe she's a new employee).  The amazing thing is my sister's said they never get calls asking for me.  Apparently card companies are alknowing and know where I am at any given moment.

As for "Currently Listening to"... There's like 10 CDs and a bunch of radio stations I could pick from that I've listened to in the last 24 hours.
