I know, I've been falling behind. School has been getting hectic, what with registration, tests, mondo papers and figuring out summer classes, oh, did someone say Humanities tour? I'm looking forward to the summer, and I'm not looking forward to the summer at the same time. I'm looking forward to it because I need to earn some money to a) pay back my parents and b) pay off the Humanities tour for next summer. So, needless to say, it's gonna be crazy. I'm not looking forward to summer because a) I'm gonna be away from my girlfriend and my close friends and b) because I'm taking summer courses. Not terribly exciting. I hope it will go by quickly so I can get back to Milligan in a hurry. I get to move in on the 14th of August, and chances are, I'll be helping people move in. I'm kind of excited to get here ahead of everyone while its quiet up here and get settled, while catching up with old friends and the like. If any of y'all reading this are Comm majors, I'm one of your peer mentors. So look out. I'm kidding.

I need to study some more. I'm out.
Until later,
Jason

Easter break is quickly coming to a close here for me. I'm still in the good ole' Queen City, soon to be heading back to Milligan. For those who don't know, the Queen City is Charlotte, NC. After visiting with my girlfriend's family, which is quickly becoming my second family, I don't feel so bad for not being able to go home for Easter. I would if it weren't over nine hours away. I love Milligan and the relationships and friendships that are formed with people. The fact that there's always someone willing to take you home with them when you can't make it home yourself is really comforting. Summer break is quickly closing in, and I'm STILL not sure what I'm doing. I'm still looking to intern somewhere in Johnson City, but I don't know just yet what God has in store. I'm going to mirror Christine's thought to close on, changing it slightly. Love those around you. You never know when their ticket is pulled.

God bless,
Jason

So, I'm back in Florida. I've never appreciated the warm humidity of Florida until I experienced winter in Tennessee. I mean, I like Tennessee more than I like Florida, but the fact that Florida's weather is generally the same is better than Tennessee's warm one day, storming the next and then snowing after that all, and to top it all off, it'll be warm again!

Spring break has been great. I'm at home with my girlfriend, and we're enjoying the warm weather. I've never really appreciated the beach as much as I have now. I like being able to lounge on the shore and simply do nothing but waste time. Its totally awesome. I like getting crispy on the beach, and then later enjoying a star-filled night back home. Its lovely. Unfortunately, like spring break, this weather doesn't last forever.

I'm not looking forward to going back to school. I mean, I like Milligan and love the people there, but I'm not looking forward to a) discovering my test scores in New Testament, and b) taking the monster Humanities test next week. Oh well, I'll live. Somehow I know that humanities will somehow be influential in my life, and I guess I'd have to admit that the class is at least interesting and I've learned a lot more in my one year of 'real' college than I've learned in my two-three years dual-enrolled.

Until later,
Jason
