so much to learn, so little time!


as you know from the nature and frequency of my posts the last couple weeks, work has been slowing down significantly since busy season ended and will continue to do so during the summer months. so my goal is to use this abundance of time to master the following things that i've already got my hands on:

operating a stick shift - in the past, this was a disastrous ambition. now i have a renewed determination to master this task with as much persistence and faith as it took for me to learn how to drive an automatic. (so what if i failed the drivers test 3 times.. i became much closer to God through that experience. hmph.)

bowling - my motivation to learn how to bowl (well) stems not from the sheer joy of edification but from desperation to save myself out of the punishment to come if i lose hope chapel's bowling tournament. i'll eat a cockroach before i'll dance in front of people.

racquetball - i find that running is a boring exercise activity, and as i don't want to waste a 3-year gym membership or 3 pairs of pants , i thought i'd find something more enjoyable. unfortunately, i realized yesterday that it will be long before i actually start to enjoy it though i did get quite a bit of workout from chasing the ball.

golf - i always wondered what it was about golf that gave it the ability to consume people. and though i can't say that it has consumed me just yet, i could feel a spark of it during a golf lesson i was fortunate enough to participate in last week (a very instructive one, might i add). i figure learning how to play wouldn't be a waste of time or money if i choose to stay in my profession, so i've officially appointed christopher as my teacher. if i don't become a skillful player by the end of the summer, the position will be made open to all.

i just ran into an intern looking for the conference room where the summer internship orientation is being held. she was an hour late, which is why i directed her to the back entrance of the room.

those were the good ole' days. i want to be an intern again.
