Ought to be updated.
Life has been busy, but alot of fun, too. Between Drama, English Literature Seminar I, Metaphysics, Biology and Lab, and ROTC and Lab, I'm learning alot; the professors are great, and the classmates are thoughtful and fun. We've had alot of good talks in and out of class; there are alot of great, Godly lads here with whom one can just talk or have fun. My wing is pretty much amazing, and very close-knit. And very musical--every one of our 7 rooms has at least one musician. Speaking of music, I'm playing classical guitar with one of the Chapel Guild groups once every two weeks. That's a neat opportunity.
There have been three engagements (and Bobtisms) since I arrived, mostly of seniors. One couple I knew in DL, and I know another pretty well since the guy is also in ROTC and pretty much the head of the ROTC group here on campus. It's been neat to observe the serious relationships here, and compare it to others that I've observed, mostly elsewhere. God bless them all!
Homecoming was alot of fun, and watching both the men's and women's soccer teams has been a great way to release pent-up energy in cheering wildly from the sidelines (I'm hoping to go out next year). Of course, there are also the impromptu wrestling matches here in the dorm and the moments of weekend randomness (hiking, mummy attacks and drain-pipe spelunking come to mind first). So, yes, we're getting a good balance of work and play.
I've also been blessed in finding a good church family here. The folks at Ketoctin Covenant Presbyterian are kind and family-oriented, having the students over on occasion; the messages are solidly Scriptural and Christocentric; the musical worship reverent and lyrically deep. In the Sunday service, we're going through Luke; in Sunday School, we're studying The Christ of the Covenants, a study of the continuity (despite diversity of administration) of the covenants throughout Scripture, and how Christ was the fulfillment of them all and will consummate them upon His return. Inspiring studies!
Life is good...
I'm going to try to post some more (including pictures) sometime over the weekend. Stay tuned!
