So much has happened since I last updated. There's a million things I want to say, but I don't have the time to write it all. My trip to the Dominican Republic (2 different links) was incredible. Yeah, that's both bold and italic.... Great times with great people in great places. It was really awesome seeing a different culture. Santo Domingo was really cool and full of life and history. The beach at Cabarete was also great and our villa was amazing. Ask me in person and I'll tell you all about it. The last few weeks coming back to school have been tough. For one thing the weather sucks as evidenced by the freak blizzard that I got stranded in today. (2 feet of snow overnight...more on that later) Of course there's a ton of work to be done as well. In fact I'm putting some work off right now.... Finally I still have no idea where I'm going to be or what I'm going to be doing a month and a half from now. I've put in job applications to over a dozen positions at half a dozen companies, but so far the response has just been silence. I really wish I could at least get an interview or something. The fact that there's only 3 weeks of class left is really intimidating. I'm definitely starting to feel like I'm running out of time. It's going to get really hard to say goodbye. Even so, I still am feeling the need to start new relationships and try and cling on to some last little slice of college life. This has manifested itself in several ways. This weekend I attended an interfellowship retreat and met a lot of really cool new people. I feel bad that I probably won't get the chance to know them better. Speaking of the retreat, it was at this camp in the middle of nowhere, at least a mile down a dirt road. Today (April 3) there was 2 feet of snow on the ground when we woke up. I of course had been fooled by the springlike weather that we got late last week and had neglected to bring even a sweatshirt, so I was in only a long sleeve t-shirt. After digging my car out multiple times, (and even getting towed out of a snow drift by a tractor once) we finally got going back to Case. Somewhere along the way from the potholes and the crappy roads I got a flat tire, but didn't realize it. I was driving on my rim for at least a mile. Finally I stopped and put on the spare and managed to nurse my car back home. Unfortunately it looks like I may have some transmission problems as well, since at some points I could barely make it up some really shallow hills or even get started from a level stop. Anyway, at least I'm safe. I'll have to call around tomorrow and see what I have to do to get my car fixed. Anyway, another way in which I seem to be trying to start things so close to the end is this whole double date thingy. Rumors have it that I may have something lined up, but truth be told those might be slightly exaggerated. I mean, there are "people" I could ask but I don't know. It seems rather futile to try and start anything when in 2 months I could be across the country. Meanwhile, might Matt be scheming on his own with this whole secret admirer thing? Who knows. Odds are nothing will ever come of this whole multidate plan anyway. (Secretly I was counting on JP's timidity to hold things up so I wouldn't have to take a risk myself.) Anyway, I went home last weekend for Easter and it was really nice. Which, I guess, is good since I might be living there after graduation. How could I mention Easter without talking about Mark's eggs? Seriously, these things are unbelievable. Some of the best chocolate I've ever had. Period. In other news, I bought myself a PSP which is a sweet machine, but has been distracting me from work. Sadly, my impending graduation is not yet assured, and I do still have a lot to get done to pass my classes. Pray for me. God Bless.
