Nota Bene
I would like to point out quickly the header of this blog and state that some day soon I will in fact endevour to meet such goals. However, I am not reading current events but rather great works of the past, thus my view of the world exists but is not judging events swirling around us. Perhaps the future will hold more opinion and less drival.

Time Rolls On
What do I do with myself? I have no idea what I am supposed to be doing as I sit arounf Bloomington with no work to do, no job to go to, and no Michal to keep me company. Now I really don't want to be sappy, I just have nothing to occupy my time. I have both hobbies and classwork, neither though truly fills time. I have started reading more and more often but still I feel hopelessly bored. I don't want to get back into a routine of sleeping when I am bored because that made me sleep all the time (which I am suggesting is not good). Well, I guess this is not supposed to be an online personal journal but I do not think that one such post will be too bad.

A Long Day Begins
Today is, and will continue to be, one of those days that drags on and on. I didn't go to the men's group thing this morning but I did get up at 7:30 and took a shower. I don't know if I am suposed to attend the wednesday meeting of my I451 class but I didn't bother with it this morning. Now I am sitting in my Telecom Flash class and I have another Fine Arts Flash class later today. After that I have Kid's Quest at church and then some more work for Broad Reach Recordings.

New From Zambinia
I checked my mail today and found that I had two messages from Michal, one nice and long and full of wonderful detail into everyday Africainian life, and the other short and sweet and just what I wanted to hear. I look forward to hearing more soon.

The New Semester Begineth - or - Flash, the Final Frontier
As I look at my schedule for the next semester, that's not what I am doing right now, I see that my semester will be almost compleetly tied up in a little application called Flash. As of right now I have three classes on the subject, one (telecom's T425 on flash apps on unconventional devices) will be all new and moslty conseptiual, another (fine art's T330) will be almost all dealing with Action Script and will be very helpful in my Informtaics capstone class. The third and final Flash class is based on design and advertising and I am going to drop it. I just cannot handle three classes, in a row, in front of a computer.

One thing that has been on my mind recently is what this all will mean for my future. Will I inevitably sit in front of a comuter and deign "cool" graphics that fly across stranger's screens and help them have a more enjoyable web-surf? I sure hope not.
