I'm probably not going to hit everything that has happened since I last blogged or do it in order of when it happened, but we will see what I can recall. One of my favorite things that has happened this semester is that I have gotten to play a little more basketball than last and started playing golf with some of my friends as well! I played golf for my high school for one year, but decided not to stay with it because I never really had the patience. That has seemed to change over the years, however, as I have not been doing that bad lately. I played with my dad one weekend while I was at home and shot under a 50 on 9, although he did give me a few mulligans. One of the biggest things that has been messing me up is actually that I haven't been able to quite figure out how hard to hit the ball yet. Me and a few friends went a played a par 3 course last weekend and I ended up going past the hole on about 6 or 7 of the holes, but it's a short course so I don't feel to bad. Other than that, it has been awesome to play and just take a couple hours out of my week to hang out with friends.
Another thing that happened recently was that the Leadership Training for Christ (LTC) convention was held in Rogers. LTC is something that I had been involved in since I was in 3rd grade, so it was great to get to go again this year. LTC is pretty much just a convention where different Church of Christs come together and the youths get to do different things like drama, song leading, and chorus. I got to be a judge this year for the 5th and 6th grade song leading and it was awesome to see such young kids getting up and leading. I myself started song leading in 4th grade I believe. My dad had always pushed me to do it since even when I was younger I would always try keep time with my hand like the song leader would and even lead some songs for my grandma whenever we would take her communion. Overall, LTC this year was wonderful and it was great to hang out with my old youth group. Looking forward to hopefully going on some trips with them this summer as well.
The final big thing I would like to share that has happened is that I finally presented my research this past Tuesday. Considering how all I had been doing up til then was write and think about it, I hope you will understand if I don't really want to go into any details about it since I am just glad to be done with it! However, it was a great experience and I am super glad I did it. I got to meet some really cool people through the class and get some great lab experience I will use in the future. Also, on Tuesday night after the presentations were over we got to go to the catfish hole and I probably ate a good 3 to 4 pounds of catfish and hush puppies, so that was wonderful as well.
So those were just some of the main things that had happened this semester. A few other things I would like to mention are that the RFCs had a game night one Friday and I was able to teach the group the game Kemp, and the proceeded to win both that and Catan. Also, the Cardinals started playing this month and currently are playing fantastic and leading their division, with my boy DFreese picking up right we he left off last October. Oh, and I took one of my good friends to her high school prom, which was a very fun and enjoyable night. It was the weekend before I presented, so it was nice to just go and let loose for a while.
Now as the end of my first year of college is drawing near to the end, I am just so surprised at how fast it went and all the great times it has provided. But those thoughts are for the next post. For now, I just leave you with a picture of my wonderful nephew, who helps me to keep smiling every time I see him!
