Well as the title leads school is less than two weeks away, but I’m not really feeling it yet. I’m guessing it’s just a matter of time. Maybe getting back into the swing of things will get me back on track.
I went to Silverwood last Sunday after McKennah’s dedication. The dedication had a lot of people there though it seemed a bit phoned in by the pastor. He got their names wrong and everything. Oh well. Silverwood was really fun. I had never been so everything was a treat. I went with Ben, Zzenya, and Becky.
Other than that and Ben’s birthday being today I’ve just been working full time and playing the church’s new electric guitar at church. Oh, and the first fruits of my modeling gig have showed up on the Whitworth Bookstore’s homepage. Cool, huh?

Another week’s down but that means only three weeks until school starts. We had the modeling session yesterday. It was fun and just a good break from the norm. Today I went down and got paid. I got a Whitworth shirt and pair of shorts. They had other options, but I already have a sweatshirt and don’t wear it unless it’s really cold out.
I’ll probably be doing school shopping any day now. I ordered books and have already gotten one in the mail. I saved about 27% ordering them online than getting them from the bookstore; normally I save more. I didn’t have to buy books for two classes so that was nice.
The church bought an electric guitar that I’ve been assigned to. I haven’t played electric guitar in a while, but I played last Sunday and thought I did just fine. I’m still getting used to it again. It is fun to be playing something different than acoustic. We have plenty of people that can play acoustic at church so we really don’t need another one.
Lastly I’ve probably told most of you about this personally but Phil Wickham has released a live recording that he made in Portland, OR. You can get it free on his website at http://philwickham.com/. It sounds really good. It’s just him on guitar so it’s more worshipy, but I don’t mean that as a bad thing.

Ok it’s almost the start of a joke. I woman was in my area of the library and was asking the higher ups if there were male students available on Thursday for a couple hours. They mentioned Scott but he’s on vacation. They all turned to me and she asked if my boss would let me off for a couple hours. Before I could answer she told me she needed male models to model Whitworth Apparel. She asked if I’d be interested. I thought it was funny more than anything else so of course I said yes. I’m getting paid in Whitworth apparel! The shoot is Thursday. Who knows…if this hits off maybe I’ll go into it full time and teach in my spare time. :)
I’ve mostly been working. I’ve been tweaking the gallery to make it easier to use and have added a few photos. Other than that I’m just looking at what I need for school in four weeks.
