On a Lighter Note

I was looking over my blog and realized: I need some lighter material. Naturally, I'm pessimistic. I dwell on all my issues and think constantly about the issues my friends are going through. I love solving problems, so it's problems that occupy my mind. I thank God for my roommate who brought to my attention the need I have to be more positive. Being so pessimistic has more or less stripped from me of the joy I have in Christ. So here's a little bit about life.

School is keeping me really busy, and the homework is pretty overwhelming, but I'm enjoying the material. I'm taking four classes right now. Electromagnetics and Optics-&-Lasers are my two hardest classes, but i think once I understand the material, I'm going to really enjoy them. Christian Theology is a great class that is already making me think. First of all, don't confuse theology with philosophy (as I usually do), even though they do overlap in places. My theology class is still a little bit in the history portion, where we're learning how our general Christian theology has come to be what it is. How the New Testament canon of Scripture was formed, and how general doctrine was formed. most of our doctrines have come to be as a result of church-dividing disputes that were settled by the formation of a creed by top church leaders and theologians. All in all, this class is proving to be very informative and interesting. I'm also soldering parts onto PCBs for my senior design project and will start testing this week.

Work is also going well. i work at a bar, in magnolia, as a short-order cook. I like to branch out though and help the bartenders whenever food business is slow (which is a lot of the time) or bar business is heavy. i enjoy the people I work with and a lot of the customers make good conversation.

Things at church are really chaotic, but we're all growing closer through the crises we're facing together. I'm really blessed to be in a church with such healthy leadership and solid doctrine.

And yes, I still make some time to spend hanging out with friends.
