I'm in trouble

Well as the title says, i'm in trouble.

Tonight is the last faithworks class for term 3 (there are only 3 terms in a year). I still haven't finished the assignment for term 2, and the term 3 assignment is due tonight. I'm only a quarter done reading the book that 66% of the assignment is based on. That's not the part i'm in trouble with. I'll have enough of the book finished in time to get the first 2 of 3 questions done. Here's were i'm in trouble though. The last question requires me to interview 10 people.

Here's were i'm hoping people will be willing to help me, and help me in a relative hurry :) Follows is the question(s) I need answers. If as many people as possible could answer before 7pm tonight that would be FANTASTIC and I would love you for ever.

"What does it mean to be "planted" in the house?" That's the only question.

Thanks a bunch in advance for all your help.

Peace

olla

Wow, i've been outa the loop for a few days. Guess that happens when you don't have internet at home.

The break dance comp was off the hook though. Anyone who's in the Hat and didn't go is CRAZY!!!!!! These guys, and a few girls, were nuts. I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around some of the crazy stuff they can do. I enjoyed it for sure. 12 bucks well spent.

They had a bunch of the breakers at church on Sunday to, and that was also crazy. Pastor Al didn't even get around to his sermon. We did worship, had the breakers up there for a good portion of it. Then Pastor Al prophecied over the breakers, and we did some more worship with dancing. And the DJ that did the comp was there to, and he got to do some free style.

It's almost break time to. Satellite is ending soon, as is faith works. And I think with Satellite ending for the summer that worship practice probably is to. So suddenly my Mon, Tues, Wednesday evenings is free again. I know C&C is wrapping up to, but I am hoping to be able to get to gether with some peeps Thursdays anyway.

Well that's about all I got for now.

Well Dawn wanted me to make another blog so here it is. And I actually have something to write about. A few things actually.

The first...well it looks like I'm going to be changing my travel plans for January-Febuary. It is looking a lot like I won't have nearly enough money to go to Australia. I'm okay with that though. I am already looking at making some alternate arrangments. I am definatly still taking the time off, and i'm definatly going some were outside of Alberta. What i'm thinking is that I am going to find a church, either in Canada or the US, and see if they would be willing to trade me room and board for a months worth of service. Be it with computers, youth, cleaning, what ever they would like me to be doing. Then my second month I am thinking of doing the same thing at the DC. Minus the room and board obviously. But just go there and serve for a month doing what they need me to do. Or possibly run some kind of computer ministry for a month. Let people bring in there computers to get fixed for free, or setup lan parties and such for people. I'm not sure on the details yet since I have until January to get it all strainted out. I need to do some praying and try and find out what God would like me to be doing with that time.

The other thing is really cool, at least I think so. I think i wrote about the test i took in a past Blog. The one that I was almost posative that I failed, and that everyone else failed to. Well I got an email at 2:20 yesterday afternoon that i didn't actually notice I had till 7:30 this morning. Well the email went something like this "As you passed the exam for the subject job competition we would like you to come in for an interview at 10:30am on Thursday May 18). I read it and was like WHAT!!! how the crap did i pass that test. I haven't seen the test, but i'm almost convinced that God went and finished it for me, because I do not understand how I could have passed. There was three of us who took it, and if I heard correctly 2 of us passed. Me and the military Guy. Supposidly the other guy didn't pass, but I don't know for sure. So yeah, praise God. If I get this job that will be so totaly amazing, and so totaly God and not me. But it is what i've been hoping/believing/praying for all year. A step up into networking, and network security is were I want to take my career, and this is likely the last opportunity, at least in this area, for 3-5 year if not longer. But this computer i'm on is done doing what it needs to do, so I should get back to the office and see what else needs doing.

Peace and God bless

Out of stuff to say

Well I felt like writing a new blog, but im really outa interesting stuff to say now that my tat is done. I am facinated by how it's starting to peel though. I'm one of those sickos who likes to peel as big a chunck off as he can when sunburnt. It's a strugle not to do that now. But for $450 i'm willing to not.

Hopefully i'll see all you cool cats this weekend then I might have something else to write about.

Peace out for now.

Ouch


Olla. Time for another fun filled blog with your crazy cracka Ninja friend SJ.

Well there it is. It's done......at least for now. The banner isn't on it yet. I'm booked in for August.

I'm not going to come right out and call people a liar....but it hurt. It might be me being a big wuss. But this was the most pain I have ever been in, in my life. 5 hours of intense pain. I think it looks awesome don't get me wrong. But WOW. Expecially the parts around the ankle. In a month I might not think it was that bad. Heck even now I don't think it was that bad. But during I wanted to punch someone in the mouth. :)

The weekend was great though. Got to chill out at the mall and shoot some guns, see Dawn, Ed. 6 hours each direction in a car with Mel, Nicole, and Josh. Had some good talks with Josh on the way back. Had a cool sunday to, it was Biker Sunday at Dawns church. They had the Christian Motorcycle Association there with some wicked bikes (I so want one)

You mighth ear a lot of this from the others so i'm going to keep it pretty brief. Well that and I spent almost all day Saturday on a table, and Saturday night I was so tired, and in pain, and loopy from the amount of blood that I lost that I was hardly coherant.

Well I'm going to jet for now. I'll catch all you crazy cats later.

Peace

There it is. Got it last night from Chris (That tat guy). I added in the one that Josh did for me so you all can see the changes he made. I think it looks pretty sweet. He dropped the shield though. Not sure if I want to ask him to try and reincorperate it in there, as the shield of faith is a pretty key part of the scripture.

Let me know what you think good or bad. Don't hold back :)

Peace

Wow

Not sure what I was thinking, maybe cause last week was crazy, but I write a test tommorow.

It's a CS2 test. For those of you who don't work for the government I am a CS1 (Computer Services Level 1), so a CS2 would be a Computer Services Level 2. Now a level 2 makes around 10-12% more then I do, and WHAT they do is a lot more interesting, and brain stimulating then what I do.

Here's were the problem starts. I haven't studied, at all, until this morning. And what makes me more nervous is that i've written this test before, but by the fact that i'm still a CS1 you can guess I didn't do all that great. Well to be at least a little fair on my self I don't know if I did all that bad. But they mark tests weird here. They are broken into three diffrent knowledge catagories. You need to get 60% in each catagory in order to pass. And if you fail one catagory then they stop marking the test and you fail the whole thing. Well the last time I wrote there was a long answer question that was worth 18 marks. 18 Marks was enough to get less then 60% in the first section . This question had some math in it. I screwed up some math at the start which screwed up the rest and I got 0 on that question, which made me fail the first section. As such I don't even know how I did in the other two. So here I am, at work, trying to study, not even sure beyond that one question what I should be studying. Or even know if that same question will be on there. The government is required to change every question on the test if they run a test and someone who has written is writing again, so it's going to be diffrent. Just not sure how diffrent.

But I should get back to cramming, hopefully no emergency's start at work and I have to actually do some work today.

Peace
