The Ragamuffin Gospel

Welcome back!  It has been way too long since my last post.  It's once agiain way too late for me to be doing this, but when else would I have time to do it.  Well, this summer has FLOWN by.  Pine Cove was so incredible, there's not even a word that can describe how amazing it was.  God taught me so much and I grew personally so much, and even though I'm a complete moron and idiot, he still chooses to use me for his purposes, and for that I am eternally grateful.  I met AMAZING people and even more AWESOME campers, and I could talk forever about all the experiences and people and things that happened at Pine Cove, but I won't, atleast for now.

After I got back from Pine Cove I worked at the TAMU volleyball camps.  That was fun, yet tirying (sp?).  It was fun being around all the v ball people, but so draining, and I really didn't feel the signifigance of me being there.  At camp, when I was tired, I could preservere b/c I knew that I was doing something do advance his kingdom, and directly impacting kids and their futures.  At volleyball camp, I didn't have that satisfaction of knowing the work i was doing was doing the same.  So needless to say it was harder to get through the days at Vball camps. 

I had a little break from camps so me, Cullen, JJ and Jen went to the River (guadalupe) and had a BLAST!  So many stories and jokes, all in the "Fat 'lil notebook"  if you get your hands on it, you're in for a treat. ha ha!

My family from Georgia came in town, and that was so much fun! all we basically did was hang out by the pool, for like 4 days in a row!  So much fun.

I am currently in College Station, TX, about to leave tomorrow and go to San Marcos to help my sister move out of her apt, and then go to New Bransfelds (sp?) with Farmer and his family until sunday! woo hooo! Well that's it for now!  Hope to be back on here shortly!  Have an amazing day

Well how-d to all of y'all!  I am currently in the West Campus Library NOT studying for my 2 finals tomorrow.  But it's cool though, because after tomorrow, IT'S SUMMER!!!!  Ha ha, i'm so pumped up!  Becasue with that comes alot of fun stuff, My sister Graduating and also PINCE COVE TOWERS!!! WHOOP!  Okay, My emotions are so different going into camp this year than last year.  Let me expalin by an easy to follow format, expaining todd's (or should I say Steak-N-Shake) emotional change from the last year:

Last year:  Super pumped up/excited, nervous, didn't know what to expect, allmost giddy.

This year:  Ready to go!  I know what camp's like now, and now it's all about the Kids.  Not the schedule, or the activity classes or meal times or the weekends with the staff (but those are allways fun).  I am coming preparing to make an impact for the LORD!  And that's what gets me excited!  I can't wait to be back there!  I leave MAY 15!

Well, it's been awhile since my last entry...oh well...

So yes, i did infact DOMINATE my Poultry science test (95) but i overlooked my agro test (73)...so i have to take that stupid final, oh well... I went to HUNSTVILLE, TX this friday night and saturday.  It was so awesome!! Did a little praising God (saw Chad sing in his band, which is INCREDIBLE! it was soooo much fun!), Watching movies, eating, baking cakes, petting goats, feeding horses and watched another movie.  Drove to houston, went to my cousin's engagement dinner at Mi Luna.  That was fun, weird food though.  It was like Spanish seafoodish stuff.  Then went home and then to church this morning.  Came back took an amazing nap, then went to Lauren's house to eat dinner with her Cousin, her cousin's boyfriend and thier two little kids.  It was alot of fun.  Now i'm back in good 'ol college station, tx and i'm sitting in the west campus library waiting for my group study room to study for my Succeeding in College test tomorrow.  I have to do good on this one too!  Wish me luck!

So...in case you were wondering, I DOMINATED my Poultry Science test yesterday!  So I'm pretty sure I got an "A" in there, and I'm pretty sure I made higer than an 82 on my Agro test, so I think I've got an "A" in there too.  So those worries are over! Thank you for you prayers. 

Yesterday was pretty sweet, not going to lie.  After my tests were over, i was so relieved.  I went and got alot of stuff done, Chad came with.  And then played sand with Chris, and some other guys from the team.  After that I went bowling to make up some games from when I missed my KINE 199 class, and then to dinner, and then to breakaway (which by the was was awesome), and then realized I had alot of homework due today! so needless to say, I made another trip to the WCL and stayed up only until 2:30am last night. 

Welp, It's time for me to go to class!

Word of the day is:

glo·ri·ous  (glôr-s, glr-)

Xanga...hmm....I think i might have awakened a beast... Anyways, My first Entry! yay! ha ha... Well today has been a very busy day.  I have two tests tomorrow (tuesday) i guess it allready is tuesday.  And i'm proctastinating? yet once again.  I need to do well on these tests so that I don't have to take the finals! so pray for me! My Day was great, besides the fact that It's almost 5 in the AM and I'm just now going to bed.  I need anything higher than an 81 in my Turf mgmt. class, and anything higher than an 88 in my Poultry Science class.  I sure hope i remember everything that I studied.. 

Getting away from school for awhile...so today, I don't know why, (as is true with all things that God does) but God has put so many things to remind me of camp this summer.  From the people I've seen, to the emails i've gotten and just random things all over the place.  I'm so pumped up to go back to PCT (pine cove towers)! 

I had a test this morning, Rangeland mgmt (it wasn't too bad) so i'm now officially done with that class! I went to take the volleyball team pic on academic plaza, and then dinner and the went to the Kettle in Bryan to study all night with Cullen, Jen and Chad (Lauren came by for awhile)  Anyways, it's time for me to go back to studying and DOMINATE my tests tomorrow.
