Scrums and such.

Alrighty here we go. Its been awhile because I've just been pretty busy. So I'll try to give you guys a little more in depth update.


The past week or so has been a intense school week. Had a couple midterms in Animal Bio, and Chem and a two speeches that I presented for Communications. but for the second comm speech I had to dress up like michael from the office...... so that made it worthwhile..... - which by the way I don't know if you guys have been watching the office this season but its super funny.

This picture made my day.


So after this past week the phrase time management has a whole new meaning. Despite the packed week of tests and what not, I feel like I'm really getting in the groove of living here and what not.

Alright lets fast forward to yesterday (Saturday).....



I woke up and went to a Point Loma Rugby game. If you ever have a chance go check one out! A bunch of guys from my hall play on the rugby club.

Here are some pics from the game.





Scrum.....



Eric put his game face on.


*** note Birds' (guy with the hat) dirty stache. ****



Then Saturday night we went to an event called samedi gras. Which was a halloween type party here on campus. It ended out being legit. A band from here on campus called family wagon played a concert and they're guitarist is ridiculous. straight up jimi hendrix stuff.

Here is their myspace. www.myspace.com/familywagonmusic


Now completely changing subjects I have been reading a book called Jesus wants to save Christians by Rob Bell.... Its turning out to be great. Im pretty sure I will be talking of the book in the upcoming posts so you guys should go get the book and read it as I am!

Late nights..... and surfing.

Hey guys,

Its Tuesday Night, and Im taking a break from studying for my chemistry exam tomorrow. This upcoming weekend is fall break so it'll be nice to have a extra day off to relax and such. Most of my friends are going back home for the weekend so I plan on catching up on some sleep.


Here is whats been going on in my life:


This past friday I had my first surfing experience. The video explains how that went so check it out.

Copeland, one of the greatest bands ever came out with a new cd today.



I highly recommend checking it out.

swap meet. switchfoot. and pneumonia.

The past 2 weeks in photos:


Here is a quick recap of three things:

1) Swap meet. There is a sick swap meet every saturday morning down at sports arena which is prolly one of the coolest things I've ever been to. This is the prime spot to buy cheesey shirts that say california on them.... or like in the pictures huge straw hats.

2) Really short version of my Wednsday night is at 1230 in the morning, well I guess this is a story about Thursday morning but anyways. at 1230 I got really bad sharp shooting pains in my stomach and chest so I had to go the ER. Once I made the glorious trip to the ER they couldn't figure out what was going on, so I had a ultra sound, CT scan, and chest xray. It ended out being pneumonia. I got back to campus around 7am thursday and was still pretty out of it from the medicine in the ER, but still decided to go my chemistry lab. There everyone including my proffessor thought I was quite entertaining since I was still on pain killers. So just over a month into living here at college I have my first ER trip.

I now owe my RA Carl Wright a California Burrito for taking me to the ER and waiting there for six hours for me.

This is Carl:




3) Switchfoot Concert. I cant say any words to say how amazing this concert was. I would urge you to go right now and see them.


Pretty crazy span of about 10 days.

We will miss you so.

Here in Hendricks a man by the name of Man Ching Wong moved in late. He literally changed our lives. He likes to go by "Christopher" so I better mention that.

This is Man Ching (Christopher):


Man Ching (Christopher) was from Hong Kong but had been going to school for the past couple years in the UK so it makes for an interesting blending of accents. In Man Chings short time here at Loma we all learned so much from this man, which included, but not limited to:

-There is in fact a Chinese version of "we will rock you" (which I highly recommend)

-In the UK there is no such thing as bath robes.... they are called dressing gowns.

-Dressing gowns will in fact be a fashion trend here shortly.

-Drinking hot tea when somebody present has a British accent makes it ten times better.

-Watching Batman with Chinese subtitles for some reason makes it that much more epic.

-It is possible to sing a Daniel Powter song while creating your own Santana's burrito.

When the men of Hendricks 2nd South found out that Man Ching was moving to Ireland to go to a medical school, with good reason we felt like somebody had run over our dog. So naturally to celebrate the glorious 3.25 weeks we had with Man Ching we had to throw him a going away party. and wrote a song to accompany it.......

so me and my roommate Jon took it upon ourselves to write a song for Man Ching.
