Happening, Stuff
Stuff is happening. Yeah. That's about it. Just Stuff. No more, no less.
Life at college is settling down and becoming routine - to an extent. There are lots of fun (fun for some people, at least) events happening on campus all the time. Last thursday, Jeremy Camp, Tree 63, and Bethany Dillon had a concert in the GCC arena. Our RA was one of the main coordinators for the event, so I and a couple of other guys from our hall went to help set up the stage on wednesday evening and thursday afternoon. We installed a temporary stage, and then helped the concert stage crew to set up the thousands of wires, connectors, mics, lights, speakers, dual computerized sound mixers, bases, and extra-heavy-duty power inputs. This part was pretty fun - the concert on the other hand was loud, long, and the music and voices barely intelligble among the other background noise. For my Civilization class, I have to attend and write about 4-5 'civilizing' events over the course of the semester, with the demand that I actually remain at the event to its conclusion. This requirement is why I stayed until the end of the concert - If you havn't already picked up from previous posts, I am not big on loud noise and large crowds in those situations. The music was probably good, but I couldn't tell. Setting up was fun, though.
For some reason, I have already aquireded a reputation in my hall for toughness, strength, and large appetite. Being on the rugby team may have influenced these opinions. Also my affinity for computers (translated: geek), and math (geek) and also science (again, geek) have been noticed, and, at times, appreciated.
Next Rugby game is at Geneva College on saturday. Hopefully when I play, I will be able to remeber what to do...
Signing off (the pizza is showing up), and sorry for the ramble,
Jeremy Turpin
