Picspam!

But not much. Mostly, there’s this one:

This is perhaps only exciting to me, but I love Chinese food, and I’ve always been too afraid to make it. And of course, I’m still too afraid to actually start from scratch, but I found a frozen General Tso’s Chicken meal at the local grocery store. [...]

RUF welcome

September 3rd, 2006 |

Redeemer had a sort of a welcoming party for the RUF students today–various Redeemer families brought sandwiches and sides and gave lunch to all the students. I stayed for free lunch (hey, you don’t get that all the time!) and got to meet a lot more people, both Redeemer families and several students. [...]

RUF

August 31st, 2006 |

The RUF here is pretty active! I had seen some chalkings on the ground (this is apparently the equivalent of a student activies bulletin board) about it and was planning to check it out, but one of the girls in my class who also goes to Redeemer invited me and made sure I knew [...]

Connections

August 27th, 2006 |

I’m not much of a social person…I tend to just sort of sit back and wait for social connections to happen. This is not probably the best way to go about making friends and building community, but whatever.
This week at church, I found sitting in front of me my professor in the 19th-20th Century [...]

Out of Shape!

August 18th, 2006 |

So I bought a bike to ride to school instead of buying a parking pass. New bike at Academy Sports = $58.00. Parking pass for two semesters = $175. And it’s only a half-mile. I was planning to walk sometimes anyway. I did a test run this morning, and it [...]

Church report

August 6th, 2006 |

Redeemer Presbyterian Church is the only PCA church in or around Waco. (Not to be confused with Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Austin, which I believe is where most of the Austinites at Providence came from.) So I didn’t have a lot of alternatives in case Redeemer didn’t satisfy my church-hunting.
Based on the first [...]

Waco Update, Part 1

August 3rd, 2006 |

Quick update as we’re eating breakfast, about to go unpack more stuff.
We got everything packed up on Saturday and Sunday. Dad says I already have too much stuff. Oh, well. I’m a packrat, what can I say? And by and large, the highest percentage of stuff I think was books, which is [...]

Saying goodbye to St. Louis

July 30th, 2006 |

I’ve been spending the last few weeks trying to enjoy St. Louis as much as possible. There’s no love lost between me and the Midwest or between me and Missouri, but there are a lot of things I love about St. Louis. Partially, it’s because it’s the only place I’ve ever lived, so [...]
