Yesterday my dad took a day off of work and we worked on updating my resumé and creating a flyer to pass out for miscellaneous computer work. We went down to one of the industrial parks in town and went to each business passing out the flyers and resumés. One guy really wanted me to do some work for him in a few weeks, so almost just for that, it was worth it. Hopefully our efforts yesterday will yield much more work for me – not that I want to actually work – but this computer stuff isn’t so bad – I can live with it, especially since I already enjoy it. Money is just an added bonus! For all you intrested CEOs and Personel workers, and anyone else who might be interested, I (finally) put my freshly updated resumé over in the “About Me” section of the web site.

After passing out flyers and resumés yesterday, I swung by my house for a quick bite to eat and then went out to youth group. I met a new guy – Matt – who’s studying to be a pastor and just finished I believe he said Junior year out at the Master’s College in California. Though I would have loved to continue talking after Jeff Fairbanks’ sermon, I left immediately afterward in order to see my old youth pastor, Jim Hodgeson, who moved up to North Dakota back a few years ago. After talking with him and hanging out at McDonald’s and then a friend’s house until 12:45 am or so, I realized how much I’ve missed out. Sure, the youth group at Grace Church of DuPage is great, but the people seem a little anti-friendly (no offense) and thus I find it difficult to envolve myself with that group. Talking with Jim brought back memories of the brief year or two I knew him, of all the great Christian friends I had as a freshman who took me in even though I was four years younger than them. I really wish I’d had the chance to be surrounded with such a great group of people all four years of high school. It seems after Jim left, everything fell apart and I’ve been wandering aimlessly since then, looking for a place where I can grow. Hopefully next year, though, I will find some great Christians at MSOE (I’ve already met one!) with whom I can study God’s Word and really grow closer to God.

After getting home at about 12:50 this morning, I had some more work to do in preparation for the seminar I had this morning with the English department at my (now old) school. I ended up getting to bed at about 2am, then waking up at 6:30am in order to get ready for the seminar. Going into it, I thought the seminar would run somewhat roughly – most people have difficulty learning new tasks with new technology, especially tasks such as setting up a web site. Thankfully, though, Stan made a program and directions that were easy enough for even the most computer-illiterate person to follow.

We got out of the school about 11:30pm or so, and then went our ways for a little while. After doing a little debating on Christian Teen Zero, we headed out to the Trek bike shop in Winfield, near the intersection of County Farm and Geneva. Stan tried out a bike he liked and put in an order for it. We took our time getting home, swung by the bank and the trusty Taco Bell/KFC that’s been closed several times due to health regulation violations…makes ya feel real safe eating there, huh? We hung out until about 6 or 6:30, ate some Happy House for dinner and then I took a nice nap for an hour and a half or so. I woke up and at dinner again (my first dinner was pretty small, as was my second – the second was just healthier), and then messed around on the computer the rest of the evening.

Well I don’t know what got into me, but I just felt like writing an indepth description of my day this evening. So there ya go. Have a nice evening, morning, night, day, whatever it is where you are as you read this!
