Florence, Italy: Breathing

I’m breathing once again. The air in Florence is cooler, I found an iron so I could wear different shirts, and my classes have begun. I’ve now had all of my classes except for my Art History, which starts next Monday. Italian is good. It’s a conversation class, which will take a little for me […]

Florence, Italy: Classes?!? We don’t need no stinking classes!

Sometimes I wish I didn’t have to have classes. Then again, I so do! Classes begin tomorrow and I’m anxious. Even though I’ve been working on my directed study for Classical Rhetoric, I’m ready for my classes here as well. I’m picking up little Italian phrases here and there, but since I’m going to spend […]

Florence, Italy: Customary Customs – I Wish!!!

Well, I just got to our hotel where the TCU students are staying before we move into our apartments tomorrow. My body is revolting; it’s as if I’m telling myself that I’m worthless and can’t do anything. Then again, I guess I can’t. I carried my 40lb appalachian trail bag and my Burton snowboarding bag […]

Florence, Italy: All Things Different, Yet Not Really

I’m in Frankfurt, Germany. Things are really different; I knew they would be. It’s fun to see all of the differences.

Having the Ins and Outs but not Getting it

Sometimes I hate programming. It always seems like there’s an easier way to do things. I guess life is that way as well. There’s always got to be a shortcut or an avenue to make things quicker, right?!? Today I gave in and wrote a program: a program to help me program. The newest version […]

17544 Hrs

The build finally worked. My code didn’t have any syntax errors and it was starting to run. Before I was done rejoicing it finished. The data was supposed to have transferred. Did it? I went to check and sure enough it had transferred. Had it done so correctly? August 26th; good. August 26th; good. 2:41pm; […]

A Brother’s Bragging

And now for the latest installment of Adam’s bragging on Luke … Let’s just say that I’m a pretty proud brother! The Des Moines Menace just won the PDL (Premier Development League) Championship! 54 teams started the season and they came out on top. Most of it is due to their great ability to work […]

Keokuk Internship: Shock and Awe

This morning the congregation completely shocked me. They “did good.” During the Sunday School time they threw a surprise going-away party for me. How were they able to surprise me since I knew it’d be my last Sunday. Well, to begin with they kept it a secret in the office the entire week. They put […]
