There's a protest tomorrow on the budget cuts.  If it wasn't in the middle of class I seriously might go.  It is rather ridiculous in my opinion that a public university has to get the majority of its funding through private funds.

Claude Atcho is going to be on an "ask us anything" panel about religion tomorrow along with a guy from The Inn, a mormon, a muslim, and a few other really weird sounding folks.  Jake I guess has been planning on going for a month but Matt scheduled his groups study group during that time so now he can't.  That really sucks.  I think I'm going to try and go. 

Claude preaches the second service at Redeemer.  I can only imagine that kind of questions he'll get to field tomorrow from this student body...What a brave guy.  If ya'll could say a prayer for Claude, I'm sure he'd appreciate it.  

Professor Chen (I'm taking his class next quarter) is doing a presentation that has something to do with mixing religion and politics.  Based on what I've heard about Dr. Chen, this sounds like something I might want to go to as well.  Only problem is it is at 5:15 and GC is at 6...Well I will have to go to the Claude thing.  I told Jake I'd take pictures.

Today has been a good day.  I have read a lot.  I'm completely caught up in 307 and will be caught up in 309 soon.  I will probably still have to do some bucket bailing the rest of the week to get back on par in 313. 

I got a B on my second essay for 307.  I knew a few hours after I turned in, upon actually reading the article on social movements in South Korea that there was definitely a lot that wasn't in my essay.  I have an A- in the class overall at this point.  I'll have to nail the last essay and not slip on any remaining quizzes. 

Registration is tomorrow.  4:15.  I'll be going to the library straight after class and working out my fingers to buzz in those numbers.  I shouldn't have a problem though.  Doesn't look like my classes are filling up all that fast.  One advantage of having a boat load of credits.

I had tomatoe soup and a quesadilla for dinner.  I was going to say cheese quesadilla.  But then I realized that that is probably redundant...and I've been saying it all these years...There isn't as much sodium in that soup as I thought there was.

Derek and Melissa Boulch have lost 28 lbs between them since the new year.  Flipping good job.  What have I been doing?  I think I've broken even about.

Walden redeemed itself in the end.  "...such is the character of that morrow which mere lapse of time can never make to dawn.  The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us.  Only that day dawns to which we are awake.  There is more day to dawn.  The sun is but a morning star."  He probably wasn't talking about Jesus, but it's still beautiful.
