Update and Cool Internet Pictures

Update:

- I am one week (20%) done with 2 summer courses at Ball State this summer.

- I am officially living in my first ever house (thus, I am paying all sorts of bills, including my first ever trip to buy groceries for myself).

- I picked a great week to stop working and  commence sitting in a classroom during the day (it seems to have been at 90 degrees or above since Friday, my last day of work. Last night it was still 90 at 7:30 P.M.!

- Now that I don't work, I can get back to running. Less stress on my body from landscaping and more endorphins released from the running has already made me feel much better and more energetic throughout the day.

- I have a girlfriend!!!!! Her name is Megan Burkett. Feel free to facebook stalk her, but she's more interesting in person.

- Her and I will be hanging out with my bro and sister-in-law next weekend in Indy. I'm very much looking forward to it!

- While in Indy, I'll also be going to a concert next Saturday with my friend Kolton. Notice: We'll throw down with anyone!... if there's only one of them... and s/he is smaller than us.

Pictures:

I have linked this site several times, but for those of you who don't know how to subscribe, here are some amazing pictures. My last post talked a lot about how small the earth is, and necessarily how small we are. But these pictures, with their blend of natural and human constructed geography, do give me a sense of awe when (on this scale, which is much larger than we're used to) we see how human beings capably interact with the natural world around them. It also helps show how there are some instances where we manipulate the world around us, and how we also must be adaptive and utilize what natural forces and events exist, outside of our control.

  1. A girl friend?!?!? Man, we miss so much being down here in Florida! Shawn and Monica get to meet her, but we don't....no fair! Well, save a picture for us at least. Maddie says "Hi!" to Uncle Chris! (Acutally, all she says right now is "da da da da....")
