Today on my way home from Seminary it was just starting to rain, and as I was driving I saw one of these walls of rain that I always love seeing. (The problem with them is that you can’t really see them when you are in them. So, when I saw it I felt like stopping my car in the middle of the road (a trick I learned from Southwestern) and watching the rain for a while.

After a summer with Southwestern I lost nearly 20 lbs, but I think that a good deal of that is probably muscle, because I had absolutely no time to work out, and even if I did I was so sleep deprived the entire summer that it is unlikely that I’d actually get stronger.
So, it is back to the grind. I am going to start using my fitness log again and I am starting by running around my neighborhood and doing some pushups. When I get back to Oviedo I should have funds in my Bank Account so I’ll buy a key to the weight room and get started on that too.

I like it when I can get a jump on things, and this year I am going to go ahead and do that by getting a running start on my New Year’s resolutions. I think that by starting to work on these babies right at the start of September I’ll have a few of them accomplished, which should give me enough momentum to power my way through the rest of them when January rolls around. Also, I know that my Mom will get a kick out of hearing that I am already done with half of my resolutions for 2005 right as 2005 starts.
So, here they are… please try to keep me accountable to them if you can remember to do so. Thanks!

I drove from Orlando to Fort Myers early this evening, which was pretty much back tracking against Hurricane Charley’s path. My whole trip home was full of sights of the messes and damage that this hurricane caused.

Well, I am in Orlando pretty much alone. My roommate is actually here with me now and his Dad is with him too. He is 40 years old and kinda quirky. Today we talked about apartment related things and I got to hear about some things that he’d like to see happen with the apartment. I hadn’t unpacked all of my kitchen stuff (eight boxes of stuff) yet because I was wondering what he wanted me to do about all of that.

I have no Internet in my apartment right now, and I decided a fwe days ago that it might be good for me (beyond financially) for me to not have Internet in my apartment to save me time.

Well, today I went in to register for classes. The whole process aws completely different from registration at UF. Instead of doing it all online, registration takes place online and in person. First there is the online “preregistration” and then we actually have to show up at the Fellowship Hall and pay for classes, sign up for things, get voter regitration forms, be solicited by banks, local businesses and non-profit organizations, and then we pay for our tuition or finalize financial aid arrangements. That actually didnt even take fifteen minutes. Afterward I went to the bookstore. I wrote down the title, author and ISBN of every required book and then bounced to the library to see which ones I could get cheaper online. Then I went back to the bookstore and bought the ones that were cheaper (or the same price) at the bookstore. All the while I was eating Donato’s pizza! Yum.

This morning I jumped out of bed, showered, packed my stuff up and headed to Oveido in my second U-Haul for the week. On my way I saw a number of fleets of power trucks from all across the country headed North on I-75 and the Florida Turnpike. I could read the comapny names on most of them, and one fleet even had their state name on it — they were all the way from Michigan!

I’m still in Nashville. I’m still working on getting checked out, but it is better now, because Joy is here. She got here last night around 10PM after driving for about eight hours. I really needed someone to come pick me up because I have so much stuff to take home, and there are so few people with cars going straight to Gainesville.
