Today I did some "Reaching Out to Riverside" by picking up some trash up the street. It was okay I suppose. Tonight there is an Angels baseball game that all of the college freshmen are suppose to attend. The Angels are playing the Rangers. So, since I have more connections to Texas than I do to baseball or Anaheim, I'll probably cheer quietly for the Rangers. Apparently we're going to wear our Orientation t-shirts, do some special chant-type thing , and be on television. Should be loud... I mean fun.

Here's a little bit wider shot of the room for Zachary.

Sorry, there's just not quite enough room to take a really good picture.

FyOCUS and Other Such Things

Hello everyone.
I'm sitting in my dorm room with the fan blowing on me since it is very humid, hot, and sticky outside. This afternoon around lunch time I got back from the New Student Orientation camp thing. It was cooler up there and the speakers were good. I didn't care for the music though. It was insanely loud and it made my stomach hurt to listen to it. I've been here since Tuesday and the FyOCUS stands for First (year) Orientation for Christian University Success. I suppose that it's a pretty good acronym except for the "year." It's actually a pretty good idea I guess. It's somewhat like an inoculation where you get exposed to at least seven billion people and then you won't be fazed by the couple million that you face every day. Oh well, whatever. I took some pictures of my dorm room. I don't have the ethernet cable yet, but my pictures loaded very quickly on Flikr. So here you go:
This is my side of the room
This is Modeste's (no sheets since we just got back from camp)


I'll fill you in on other stuff later, but I have a load of close in the wash and at 4:30 I'm suppose to have "'FUN' with my FOCUS Group." We'll see how that goes. Talk to you later.

Some pictures

We're at the Grandpadges now. Since they have faster internet I can post some pictures now. Here you go.

A Prologue

I suppose that since I've changed the name of my blog and since this post has nothing to do with CBU, it might not be able to be part of the blog save for the title of the post. So, there you go.
Well, we just got back from seeing Zachary, Brenda, Justin, Katie Ellyn, and Emily in Redding. We had a blast going to the coast with them on their family camp, winning gift cards, jumping off rocks, drinking Jamba Juice, and just hanging out. Although the agate beach was pretty fun, I'd have to say that my favorite part was jumping off rocks into ice cold water. It was great. Lauri probably drove more than I did on the way home. It was good even though I didn't get much of my book read. By the way, if you haven't read The Screwtape Letters, I'd highly recommend it. I was going to post some pictures, but when I was picking out the ones I'd like to use, I remembered that Brenda was going to post today and, sure enough, she'd picked three of the four that I was going to use. I would put the remainder on my blog, but our internet is retarded and I can't get the image to upload at all. Oh well, go over to her blog to see how much fun we had.
This morning, Mom told me that I had a dentist appointment this afternoon and I got to go get cavities filled. It was so much fun and the left half of my mouth is now numb. At least I get to go get the other side filled next Friday. Wait, what?
We're going to Phoenix on Sunday and we get to spend a few days hanging out with the family down there. It will be good to swim and see folks again.
Perhaps most notably for me, it is only eleven days until I leave for the single most nerve-racking thing in my life. Please pray for me.
