Off to College

Well, tomorrow morning, in the pre-dawn darkness, I will start driving towards JBU. I know for a fact that Bryce is on his way now, driving from CA, arriving nearly the same time as me. It hasn't really sunk in yet, that tomorrow, I, will be at my college, and stay there for the next four years. Anyway, to those of you who have gone and to those who have yet to go, good luck and God bless.

P.S. - How many of you have got mini-fridges/Laptops/desktops? Just curious...

Culture shock

So, I never thought it would be possible, but is anyone else suffering from culture shock? Been here for a week now, life is just as boring as it was back home, even though we do have high speed internet, which I am still trying to get used to, and have like 300 channels on the tv. Let's see, life update on me, got a car, my parents will drive it for a year and then I get it, had to pay for it and everything, now I just need to learn how to drive which shouldn't be too hard because I haven't seen any hedges to drive over around. Also got a digital camera, still trying to figure it out, I don't think I will ever be able to. And oh yeah, I have given up on soft drinks, sorry to shcok you boys but they taste like syrup here. Other than that, I am getting ready for school which starts in a week in a half and then, lets hope life starts back again.

Loggins and Messina Concert

I doubt any of you know who these people are, but they sure do a great concert.
It rained sporatically, but it was worth it anyway.
That's all.
