Whew, what a day. I feel exhausted, no matter how much sleep or how many naps I get. But, I am heading home this weekend. Not really looking forward to the drive, but it'll be worth it. Not only do I get to move some of my junk home (saving Dad a trip with the truck) and get some real food and get to see my family, but I also get to spend precious time with Emily.
Bible study tonight at CCF was good, but I had trouble staying awake from my lack of sleep. Man, I really should get some more sleep.
And I am NOT looking forward to finals, but oh well. They are inevitable. I am just eager to end my career at Tech and start anew, whether it be at Clemson or a community college or what not.
I sure do miss my friends from high school. But sometimes when we are hanging out, I feel a lack of connection. Maybe because of the identity shock Tech afforded me. In high school, I was the brains, plain and simple. I mean, that was just who I was--how I defined my existence. But now that has changed. Since I stink at school now, I had to look to another source for self worth and significance...God. Only He is eternal and permanent and immutable. No matter what happens in this life on Earth, I have peace in that He will never leave nor forsake me. I just wished I had learned this sooner.
Well, I am getting tired. That's all for tonight.
Some musings, ramblings, etc. of mine that give a glimpse into my life. I'm a total tech geek, especially computers, mobile, and such. Mac OS on my desktops, Android on mobile, with some Linux and Windows floating around in the mix. Network engineer is my vocation, but being a dad and husband are the best job titles I've ever had.

Thursday, April 18, 2002
Well, here it is. I have decided to start a weblog (or, blog) as an online journal. Not quite sure why. Perhaps someone will benefit from my story. If it makes a positive difference in one person's life, then great. If not, then maybe it'll be good for a laugh.
So, anyhoo, where do I start? A little about myself, perhaps? Ok. I'm currently a nuclear engineering student at Georgia Tech. However, this is my last semester here. Several factors have prompted me to transfer. On the one hand, I am excited about leaving GT, which I am not too fond of, but on the other, part of me is worried. What will I major in at Clemson (the school I'm transferring to)? What am I going to do for the rest of my life? But you know, I just got to have faith. Faith that it will all work out according to God's plan. And you know what, for the first time, I am finally glimpsing that reality.
Hobbies...well, I'm into paintball, computers, video games, hanging out, etc. ad nauseum. I also am an aspiring bass player, although I don't practice nearly as often as I should. I also try to be a well rounded individual, with such interests as music, literature, art, cars, planes, and so on. I am equally content with hanging with my friends or a quiet evening at home.
Well, that's about all for now. I have so much to do before finals. Also, I want to chat with my girlfriend, whom I can't wait to see again. I love you, Emily.
