Hello everyone. It's been a long time, but I actually have a computer here at the library and time to write since it's finals week. I should be working on my Business Math final project now, so I'll try to make this quick.
School's been going great. I've especially been having a blast with Under the Light. On April 2-3 we were near Pittsburgh on an outreach. The service was really good. The ride back to school was bizarre. It snowed. We got like 2 feet. And just on April 1st, it was like 70 degrees.* On the turnpike there was this huge tractor trailer/car accident about two miles ahead. So the whole highway stalled. Fortunately, a lady from the church we visited blessed us with a ton of food. So I was chowing on a banana, and when I was finished I thought it would be funny to throw the peel on top of the tractor trailer sitting next to us. About 5 minutes later, the driver comes out, pounds on the bus door and demands that we take off whatever we threw on top of his trailer. Everyone looked at me and I just said "It's just a banana peel," thinking that would deter him. But it didn't. So we just stared each other down for several tension-filled seconds. Then, Greg asks him if it's even possible to get it down, and the driver points to a ladder. So, I make my way to the front of the bus and the driver stops me, and goes, "I'm just kidding with you." That was fargin' hilarious. We still had about two more hours to wait, so we passed out cookies to the other drivers on the highway and Brian and I entertained them by wrestling on the hill on the side of the road.
*Speaking of April 1st, April Fool's day was awesome this year, even though it started on a serious note. For my Debates on Science and Religion honors class, we held our first debate, and this one was on the Terri Schiavo case. It was post mortem, so we pretended the debate was taking place while she was still alive. I argued for the feeding tube to stay in (I didn't choose my side -- to this day, I'm not entirely sure what the best ethical decision would have been) and did pretty darn good, but my side still lost the debate. With that over, then April Fools fun began. It was such a nice day I decided to study outside, with my fake poop on the sidewalk and wearing my Mexican wrestling mask. I also wore my goofy suit jacket to class later. I also had a lot of fun with my extendable fork at lunch and dinner, as I always do. A few of my friends even put together a dodgeball team for the tournament that night and I wore my mask to that.
On April 15th, we had our big youth outreach here at VFCC. It was awesome! We did some new skits which went great. It was the first time we did anything of this scale; we weren't sure what to expect. (I was expecting a big outcome, though) About 450 guests came and 90 people accepted Christ, so I was excited but not surprised. God really did his thing.
The following Sunday we went to Teen Challenge and that went great, too. I love T.C. The guys there are so on fire and open. Brought back memories of when we sponsored a friend from church to go there.
