It's been a while since I last posted.  Quite a bit has gone on since then.  I've decided to drop Engineering for Physics only to be hit by a horrid urge of responsibility [the bane of all college kids!  Blast you!] and now the desire to pull this GPA out of the fireball it's become.  If I listen to the right punk music [We The Kings for instance] I almost believe that it's possible.  I wonder if I can succeed at even passing some of these courses, nevermind the idea of excelling.  However, I...want to.  Been a while since I felt that.

If nothing else, this experience has taught me that God is always my first priority.  Yet, I have an opportunity here to be a wonderful engineer [the fact that I loathe the career is beside the point!].  I'm still looking into physics, but I think I need to try a lot more with this degree while I still can.

I have no deep theological thought for tonight.  Except that I am afraid that I am more and more the patron saint of lost causes.  Although the official title belongs to St. Jude, and I dare not steal that from him, I wonder if that's not my calling:  To seek out the hopeless and desperate.  Because I have been one of them.  And sometimes, I still am.  Without Christ, 
not even an engineer.  He shall get us all through this.  And may the praise from all of us lost
causes bring a brighter dawn, as we know that all things are good that come from the Father.

Note:  I've come up with two band names I think are awesome.  Mayhaps I might even use one for when [yes, when NOT if] I get my band together:  "Incoming Front" [heck "Incoming!" is awesome too...] and "The Transfer Function".

My Honor Is My Life,
