important historical viewings of me the....guy

so tomorrow i get to see the dead sea scrolls in the san diego history museum. for those of you uninformed peeps those are the oldest manuscripts of Old Testament scripture (and a few commentaries) that have been discovered to date. Carbon dating puts them at roughly 300 to 100 BC, at the least a little over a hundred years before Christ! They were found in the 1940s in caves by Bedouin shepherds, and I get to see them.

Tickets are like $25, so go see them if you have a chance. Unless you dont care about historical things or Jesus......then dont.......um

yeah.

Good Lord! School again?

First myspace, now blogs. Well, technically blogs came first, whatever. It seems like there will always be some dumb, mundane thing to do on the Internet when you have nothing else to do, and you feel like wasting time. My class doesn't begin for another forty minutes, so I will muse for a while. The fall semester has begun, much to my dismay, although I only have two suffer two classes, Philosophy 102 and French 101. Why French, you may ask? I need only 7 or so units left before I can earn my Associate in Arts Degree and move on to graduate school, and those units must be selected from a particular group of classes. French was one of them, and since language graciously comes generally easy for me, I figure this class will be a breeze. The other course is part of this requirement as well. Well, what else? Work is going pretty well, aside from the fact that it is indeed, Wal-Mart. Working in retail is one thing, working at Walton R. Us is completely another. Too much to go into though. I got my yearly review yesterday, and I received an overall "exceeds expectations" evaluation for my performance, which is good; "exceeds expectations" is like getting an "A." For my achievements, I get a sixty cent raise bumping me up to a whopping $9.30 an hour, which is desirable. What else? My work at church is going great, I really enjoy doing junior high, I definitely could see me doing stuff like this for my career. I feel like God is really making it clear to me that this is what He always wanted me to do. It's awesome to be receiving that validation. TNL is the best! God has blessed me with a great group of kids, though they get a little rowdy sometimes, who have a desire to do what's right and follow what the Bible says. Anyways that's all from me for now.
