We had a good day last Saturday sighting in our rifles for hunting. When we had finished with that we spent the rest of the time at the FBI range shooting handguns and playing "games." Now hunting is only two days away and I'm getting more psyched up the closer it gets. It's an interesting system of psychology. I always go hunting with a very optimistic attitude, but each day as the week wears on I get a little bit less optimistic. As of now, though, I'm really excited.

Awesome Thors-Day
Today I feel like Thor. Like I've got lightning in my pants. What started out just like any other Thursday has turned into an awesome day. I'll tell you about it.
Last week I was scheduled to have my haircut on Saturday, but when the time rolled around I had to reschedule because of extenuating circumstances. It was rescheduled for today. So at just after three o'clock I headed out the door for my appointment. A clip here, a cut there, and and hour and a half later I left the studio looking like Jason Bourne. But I didn't head, I was on my way to soccer. I went to Southridge but no one was there, so I made a quick phone call and found that I needed to go over to Conestoga. I got there and started playing soccer. What a beautiful sport. Although everyone played one event stands out in my mind above all the others. Out of the three goals I made against Adela one of them was spectacular. Philip had broken away and was dribbling the ball down field toward the goal. He was on the right side, I was on the left. Adela was the goalie and James her only defender. James came out to challenge Philip. With my only my natural athleticism and whatever meager soccer skill I've picked up along the way I streak into the goal box toward the goalie. I call out to Philip for the cross. With all the precision and skill the the Romanian could muster he booted the ball my direction. It flew right past he goalie straight for me. In a split second I lower my head, the ball connects with my head as I deflect it towards the gaping goal. I looked up right as the ball sails just out of Adela's helpless reach into the net. GOAL!

I'll take a pound of that
Today I'm unofficially back to the grind. I didn't really get going last week because I started on Thurday and then worked for Mr. Dugan on Friday. The Spiritual Emphasis Retreat was great. I'm a senior so it was my last one. I think I finished on a good note. On Saturday we got a game of frisbee on that turned out to be two games of frisbee and a game of soccer. 5 hours of fun, what a day. That night Adam, Tim, and myself took Adela back to the Popescu's house and we ended up staying until about 9:30. I'm trying to prepare for my upcoming ACT so I'll talk to you all later.

Finished
I'm finally finished with work. Friday was my last day and it feels really good to be able to see all that I have accomplished. Friday afternoon after I got back from work, we went back to church to help prepare for the anniversary service this Sunday. When we had finished all that we could do we stayed at church for a while before heading home. After we got home Scott Dean came over to play games. We played two games of Settlers of Catan before we thought we were finished. After the games though, we ended up getting into a very long and meaningful discussion on the Bible and other spiritual applications. We weren't finished unil around 2:30. This morning Adam and I went to the gun show at the Expo center. Right after that we went to Bridgeport village and then came home.

First Day of......
oh wait, I didn't start school today, and I won't be doing school tomorrow. In fact, I won't really start school full on until next Thursday. I'm going to finish this week up working at church but it should be my last full week of work. Next week I will be at the Spiritual Emphasis Retreat from Monday until Wednesday. The end of the summer seemed to come on really quickly but I'll just be rolling with the punches. Playing it by ear. Riding the wave or slope whichever the board takes me.
