The Weekend Update

It was an extremely relaxing weekend for me, even if I woke up on Sunday and lost an hour of sleep because of Daylight Savings Time. But I’m actually getting used to it, I enjoy the thought of having “extra” sunlight in the spring/summer months… it is so refreshing!

There’s not a whole lot to report on from this past weekend, I got to sleep in and get some work done around the house. In addition to that, my niece celebrated her third birthday on Sunday which is always enjoyable.

I think the biggest thing in my life right now is hope for the future… which is something I haven’t felt in a while. I have begun looking at apartments and I’m very excited about the prospect of having my own place for the first time in my life! Don’t get me wrong, living at my Dad’s house rent-free is pretty sweet… but unfortunately the benefits are no longer there. I have always loved living with my Dad, but having my two brothers there is just getting too much for me. There is just so many details I could go into here, but I’m not going to. Just to say that I think it’s time for me to spread my wings and fly a little bit. And I have to say, I’m looking at apartments in Carmel… so I don’t know if they helps or hurts my credibility to be moving north of 96th Street!

But things are starting to come together for me which I’m really excited about: I’m losing weight, I have most of my credit cards paid off, I’m going to start paying on my college loans (ahead of schedule), I’m saving money, and I’ll hopefully be moving out soon. Woo hoo!

So yeah… things are going alright. This week has a lot in store, I begin my independent studies this week for Eschatology… so I’ll be spending time on Monday nights at working on primarily Eschatology, but tonight I’ll be focusing on preparing my sermon for Wednesday. My favorite study spots? The Central Library, IUPUI Library, Lazy Daze Coffee, McAlister’s Deli, and my corner Starbucks will be my study areas. Because let’s face it, if I sit at home in front of my awesome computer, I’m going to want to play Call of Duty 4 online, which will only put me farther behind.

I hope to have another blog entry or two this week, so stay tuned!

P.S. I’ve been listening to some Mozart and Chopin which I got on Amazon.com MP3 Downloads… it’s some good music.
