Its A Great Day to be Alive

Well its the Sunday afternoon before my last Finals week... of undergraduate school at least, kickin it to some Travis Tritt.  Despite the last two weeks being pretty stressful I feel pretty good about things right now.  Got two business tests, a take home final that I finished to turn in, an evaluation of my senior project to present and the final paper of my senior project to write and turn in.  Looked the other day and our paper is at 70 something pages and I'm hoping that we can finish it up in under 100 but I'm thinking were going to have a lot of attachments to thrown in with it.  Anyway thats really the only thing looming over me so all in all I'm doing pretty good.  Here is a bullet list of eventful things to spare some writing:

  • Have a phone interview with Adec during spring break.  Not sure if I would be able to get the current position though because:
  • Leaving for Greece on the 18th of April, get back late June.
  • I'm for sure the dining hall work crew boss at Creekside YoungLife camp during second session this summer.
  • Had my last dance classes this last week and my last regular night at Eagles last thursday, which Katie couldn't make it to so I was super bummed, that place is "our spot" so to speak so even being there without her was weird, let alone it was my last time while in school.  Was thinkin about making up for it this week but decided Bushwackers would be a little more enjoyable.
  • Got workweek coming up this next week during spring break and I think my brother and I want to film a video as our club characters to get our middle schoolers stoked for camp.
  • Parents came down on Friday and had a farewell party for me at my brothers place which was fun.
  • Helped my brother jack up his car and fix his transmission.... in a parking lot on campus haha.  Lot's of people asked me if I needed help cause they thought I was changing a tire. "No I'm just waiting for my brother so we can shove the spare tires under the car so it doesn't fall on us while we're using electricians tape to jury-rig the transmission linkage into place so he can get it back into gear at least once" haha.  Gotta love Petersen style auto-mechanics.
  • Took my last college class.
  • Went to an Oregon State University Beavers Baseball game, GO BEAV'S... we won.
  • The sink in my apartment got fixed, it just works now.. soooo nice.
  • Hopefully going to get to cross country ski into a firewatch tower with Kenneth and some guys in a few weeks.  Ready for some man time adventure for suuuuure.
It's a goofy thing but I just gotta say Hey I'm doing alright.  College is wrappin up just fine and I'm looking forward to the next few months and summer.  I'm stoked at how my attitude about life and serving the Lord has been changing and I only hope it continues and I can be the man I know I'm meant to be.  Kinda weird realizing I may not be sittin in the Library ever again to study... WEIRD! Alright, time to go get some grub and kick with my lady.

"Feelin' pretty good and that's the truth 
It's neither drink nor drug induced
No I'm just doin' alright"
I tell you the truth, when you were younger you dressed yourself and
went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your
hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not
want to go.
