well this is the first time i've written in a long, long time. I think I stopped writing for two reasons: 1) I'm self-conscious about my writing 2) I haven't had anything especially profound to say (or at least not profound enough for xanga.com) Anyway both reasons are kind of silly, so here we go... I'm also really really bored at home now that Stephanie's left...I mostly just shoot a lot of baskets (by myself) OH today in Church I learned that the shortest verse of the Bible is not, in fact, the oft-cited John 11:35 "Jesus Wept." (John 11:35) But is from Job: "He said:" (Job 3:2) Lately I've been driving myself nuts trying to figure out what to do after college. I went to Barnes and Noble today and tried reading through this book "Ace your Case." As you can tell from the extremely witty title, it's written by consultants for consultants. The book is probably the most concise thing I've ever read in my entire life, it's completely in bullet points and written like a driver's manual. Felt like I was reading a powerpoint presentation or something. An example question out of it was: "How many jelly beans does it take to fill a 747?" I'm not completely sure why knowing such a fact would make me a good business strategy analyst...maybe if Boeing was holding some kind of publicity event where they filled a 747 with jelly beans and whoever could guess how many were in there won them all...I dunno Anyway, needless to say, this book wasn't great and I don't think I'm going to become a consultant (but who knows). Other things I'm considering more seriously: 1) Mental health counseling 2) Coming on staff with Intervarsity Christian Fellowship 3) Discipleship Training School with YWAM (Youth with a Mission) 4) Social work, social services 5) (definitely going to happen sooner or later) Seminary (ThM or MDiv) Okay, so much for not being self-conscious about my writing, it's taken me forever to write this and I have better things to do... Ok I don't, but I can pretend right? |
