I don't know when the last time most of you got an update was, but after my job with the city ended, I took up residence in the basement of my girlfriend's parent's house and painted it while I waited for Chris to finish with her final exam (this was last December). Then rounds about the new year I took off and headed out to California where I met up with my brother and dad. We chilled and went to Whistler, Canada to ski for rounds about a week. Here's a pic
That was cool except I missed Christine, and my brother doesn't like skiing, and by day 4 it got so warm it was raining instead of snowwing, so not only could you not ski, but walking around sucked because it was 2 inches of slush.
After returning from that trip (and smuggling an apple through customs. "Ha, take that American Security!"), I spent a few more days with Christine and my fam and stuff before having to come back to Kalamazoo for school.
And now I'm here. I'm taking 20 credit hours, so my life is studying. The list consists of: Calc II (honors), Linear Algebra, Foundations of Modern Worldview, Jogging, Physics I, and Engineering 2020- service learning in design. Its not to bad though, I like all this stuff. Chris and I are together perpetualy too, which makes it okay, because she has to work as hard as I do, so we get to not have social lives together.
I got a fish too, his name is Shvown (pronounced sh- like "sh.. be quiet" -von like "von maur") this is him
and I got a whole bunch of plants. I like plants, and so does Chris's mom so she got me the hook up. This is shvown and his cactus
and yes, shvown lives in a mason jar. I also got a plant here on my desk which is growing in one of Christine's coffee mugs (I wasn't thinking when I grabbed that mug). If Ben Phol still reads this, can you guys in St. Paul bring back my cactus from the second floor some time? that'ld be cool.
We go to the campus catholic church which is very hippie. The "halleluia" is definitley not right, seeing as thier version has verses and in the third one all the instruments cut out and everybody starts clapping and swaying. They also have a picture of Jesus in the lobby that looks suspiciously like Bob Marley, I'll have to take a picture of it and post it.
But I'm rambling so here's one last pic from campus

Hilarious!
You guys need to whip that campus church into shape.
Isn't Shavan a girl's name? Are you sure you are not embarassing your fish?
Hey John, wow that is weird saying that. John is not used anymore. Anyway, I am glad that you are still alive. You need to visit sometime. Yup, good luck in college man.
Hey Marnee, you in computer lab? Or you don't have class until later today.
Well john it sounds like you are having a wonderful time.I would die if i had that many math related classes. And I am pretty sure, like marnee says, Shvown is a girls' name. I like plants too, but they always die, and then I am sad...Speaking of suspicious looking Jesuses There is a pic of "Laughing Jesus" at St. Mary's student parish that I find questionable...it just looks creepy. Yeah your student parish sounds like st mary's was until the bishop sent fr. will to clean it up...Tell Christine we said hi! :)
I was probably in the computer lab at that time, yup.
