Today I tried to surmount a curse I’ve been living with for almost four years: I tried to donate blood. This was my third attempt at donating. Back during my senior year of high school I tried to donate twice and each time they ended up sticking the needles in each of my arms and […]
ContinueEnjoyable Day
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve posted stuff on here. We’ll need to fix that. Ever have one of those days where you don’t have to worry about the things due in the next week or the stresses of life? I decided to finally take one of those today. Sure, I worked some and […]
ContinueRedeemed Conference
Today I went to the University Career Services’ Junior Jumpstart conference. We boarded the busses at 9:20 this morning and got back around 6:20. I’m COMPLETELY exhausted. Within the first hour of being there, we were in a session on interviewing techniques. I was in a small group with only one other student and then […]
ContinueFun Exhaustion
How does one measure progress? For college students it has to be one class at a time. Today was so draining, yet also so fulfilling. I had 8.5 hours of class as well as a meeting afterwards. In those hours were also two tests. Let’s start at the beginning. Last night I’d been planning on […]
ContinueGoing Through the Motions!
Do you ever hit one of those stages where you wonder what the point is to everything? I hit one of those stages this past week. Starting on Friday night and going through until Wednesday my sleep schedule was insane. I’d hit bursts of energy at 2am and keep going. I’d set my alarm, wake […]
ContinuePledge to Footnotes
I, Adam Frieberg, do solemnly swear to never again disparage the use of footnotes. While I reserve the right to critique those who use copious amounts of footnotes, I hereby recognize that footnotes have their purposes. My actions earlier in Senior Seminar of labeling the students who read footnotes as overachievers was completely uncalled for […]
ContinueMinister’s Week Finale
love Minister’s Week. It’s my recharge after the hasty start of my spring semesters. Every year Brite and TCU and University Christian Church put on a four-day event for ministers to come and gather. They have lectures during the days by great ministers and scholars in addition to worship services at night. I love it […]
ContinueSite Changes
On Friday, I had one of those Greek sessions. It was a meeting which I left feeling giddy and ecstatic over. Last semester I translated the letter to the Galatians from Greek to English. While I loved doing it, I haven’t started the revision process with Dr. Schmidt until this semester. While we’re revising my […]
ContinuePick-me-ups
Today started in a little bit of a funk. We’ve had overcast skies for three days and it’s been cold (I know, it’s all relative, but going from the 70s to the 40s is a change). Today I’ve had to read the second half of a book for my Senior Seminar in Religion so I […]
ContinueOaths and Inconveniences
This afternoon I went to the downtown Fort Worth Post Office to submit my passport application. I’ve had it filled out for a week, but this was the first good chance I had to take it in. There were several things that struck me as ironic with the way the Post Office and the overall […]
