Guess what? I got a bike!! *throws a party* It's the awesomest bike ever :D (although I'm pretty sure each of my brothers would disagree with me hehe) It's a used Trek bike (which is an upper line one for those of you who don't know.... not that I'm an expert either) - it's silver and light green - and it's in great shape. I got it for a bargain too... God's so cool! :D I haven't been able to convince anyone to take a picture of me with my bike yet - but hopefully soon someone will be nice enough to do that. :)
In non-travel news - I'm planning on taking another college test on Monday. Introduction to World Religions is the name of it, and let me tell you, it has been a bear to study for. It's hard, for one thing, to keep everything straight between all the different religions... not to mention that I don't really care to dig into the false teachings of other wackos out there! Everything I read just makes me want to scream - no! that's so wrong! read the Bible! :P Especially the chapter I read on Judaism.... I mean, really. That's NOT how Jews are, people. The author was going on and on about all these socialistic, philosophical things about Judiasm - and it barely mentioned the traditions and rich -not to mention Biblical- history of that religion. Oh well. If you happen to think of me on Monday afternoon... a prayer that I pass and remember everything would be awesome.
Annddd...! It looks like we're heading out pretty soon so I'd better run. Today the plan is to go to Park City Utah - and play tourist for the day. The 2002 Winter Olympic games were held there, and apparently there are all kinds of neat things to see and do! Top of the list for my brothers and I is to ride the zip-line that's there. Whoot!! I'm totally excited. :D
Yay for your bike!!! Looking forward to seeing those pictures. :) I wish you the best for World Religions- that one IS a tough one to study for. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI hope and pray your test goes well! I didn't care much for that test either. It was saddening to think that there are so many people in the world who actually believe those lies.
ReplyDeleteAt least it was a pretty easy test though!
Yay! You got a bike! How long will it take you to bike to OH?
ReplyDeleteYeah, World Religions was interesting to say the least :P I actually enjoyed studying the other religions to see how they compare to Christianity, but maybe that's just the scholar in me :-D It was a relatively easy test, so I'm confident you can pass it!
@Emily: Thanks! Pictures should be up soon!
ReplyDelete@Zoe: Thank you! Agreed... it's very sad.
@Mac: ROFL! Want I should post directions?
Wooot! A Trek! That's worth celebrating.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your test. I enjoyed going through the different world religions. It was good to see where other people were coming from, even if I don't agree with them. It helps me meet them where they are.
Absolutely! Thanks, Caitlin! And yes, parts of studying for that test were very interesting.
