Well, scratch what I said about Materials Science. I dropped it because I found out I can take another Industrial Engineering class instead, which is better for me. I'll have to pick up the Materials class later, but that's no big deal.

One of my IE classes is Production Planning and Control. That's what I'm talking about! It's all about demand forecasting and using that information to determine if a facility has the capacity to meet the demand, then scheduling and planning the logistics of production. It's hardcore IE and it's pretty cool.

I'm making a concerted effort to plug in to a Christian group here one campus. One such group had a booth outside the MU and I stopped and talked with them. The guy there made an excellent point, which is that since school is the primary place I can be an influence to non-believers, it's very important that I get connected on campus. So that's what I'm endeavoring to do. I met a classmate of mine who is a leader in the local Campus Crusade chapter. This was a guy who became a Christian during his freshman year here at OSU, a guy that went to Campus Crusade and looked around and saw how satisfied everyone was and said "I want that." Awesome.

I wonder if I've changed mindsets since I've gone to school. I have a lot less time to just think up really weird things. I'm still thinking, but it's a lot more focused on tasks at hand. That probably squelches my creativity a little bit. We'll see. I love to write songs, and the last month or so of work I did very little of it.

Today is my first day of teaching music and aiding in the Math 20 class. Oh, I quake with fervent fear as I think about the daunting task laid out before me. To impart knowledge to those who may not even desire it? How can I? Do I have within me the capacity to complete this daunting task?

Ok, so it's not that bad.

Woo-hoo!
