First day of class

Today has been a really loooooong day. I had class at 7 am, so I decided to get to my office early to make some coffee for me and my students. It turns out that I have the wrong top for the coffee pot, meaning that the coffee won’t drip, but instead it spills all over everything. So, I ran to the bathroom to wash off the coffee pot to find that there was no water at the seminary today. Luckily, the lady who cleans the offices was outside and helped me (she’s the one that told me that I have the wrong lid).

Class, on the other hand, was very good. I have three new students, one all the way from Ecuador, one from Puebla, and the other from Vallarta. They will be studying youth ministry with me for the next 4 years.

I went to my Youth Discipleship class, and Huberto and Oscar had invited a ton of students from third year to attend class. So, I have about 8 students in that class now, taking it as an elective, but still participating and making the discussions much more interesting. Class was split up with an hour in between the first hour of class and the second hour of class. We got that fixed. Now I have class on Tuesday and Thursday basically from 7 am until noon. That’s five hours straight, but that’s it. I’m tired today, though. I should have drunk more coffee.

Class tomorrow

I’ve got class at 7 am tomorrow morning (oh boy). I’m not looking forward to getting up so early. I can’t even say that I’ll be able to be finished early in the day because I have another class in the afternoon. That’s going to make for a very long day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Anyway, at least I only have to “work” two days a week (that’s what most people think). I’ll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

Aloe Vera drink

Shopping at Sam’s Club earlier this week, they were sampling this drink made out of Aloe Vera. At first, I passed on the offer. Then, I thought that this would make a great ad of the week, so I decided to try it just so the lady would give me the flyer.

It was weird. It didn’t taste all that bad, but not good, either. At the bottom there were little chunks of aloe vera pulp. That was a little gross.

The drink claims to help with intestinal problems, cholesteral, triglycerides, colon problems, etc. Anyway, here’s your fun ad of the week.

The sweet smell of victory


It may only be pre-season, but it always makes me feel good when the Dolphins beat the Bucs. Living in Tampa Bay as a Miami Dolphins fan has always been frustrating, because the Tampa press doesn’t talk about anything but Tampa Bay’s football team. It’s as if there are no other teams in the state. So, when Miami comes “to town” and beats the Bucs, it’s great for those of us who are Dolphins’ fans.

I’m pretty psyched about football season. We’ve got NFL Sunday ticket this year, so we’ll get to watch tons of games. It’s gonna be fun.
