A Step Back

I had a big, long post. HAD a big long post. Spare me the lecture Tom, but I lost it when the tenuous internet connection broke. Let's see if I can summarize.

I'm Byran Smucker, 22, Senior in Industrial Engineering at Oregon State University. I'll graduate in March. I like Math.

I'm working 3 jobs right now. One for my dad, two at the University. Dad pays better, OSU is more intellectually stimulating.

School is exciting, but graduation will birth more exciting things.

Will I win a Marshall Scholarship? Will I go to grad school in Massachusetts? Can I spell Massachussetts correctly?

Or how about this: I applied for Rescue's vacant tenor vocalist position. Rescue is a full-time contemporary Christian a cappella group from Portland. It's not a no-brainer, that I'd take the job if offered, but it's an intriguing possibility. You just don't get the opportunity to sing full-time for Jesus very often. I mean, you gotta be kidding me. But I haven't been offered the job. They need someone very soon. I couldn't go until March, even if they wanted me.

If I don't become a singer, I have five months to fill before next fall. I'm kicking around several ideas: SMBI 5th term, mission/vs (can anybody say Waynesboro, VA?), travelling.

That's it, my life.
