So yeah, there's this girl named Esther who lives near me.
Last night, I received an Outstanding Service Award! It was a complete surprise - to me - from the Wisconsin/Northern Michigan District of Royal Rangers, a boys group through my church that I've been a part of since I was 6 years old. They gave out two of these this year, and I was completely shocked since it's the highest award you can get from them. The reason was because of my initiative in volunteering, but I'm very grateful for all the people who were volunteering with me. My friend Matt was the other recipient, and he totally deserved it. Together we've done a lot to improve the camp in Waupaca, and this award was way more than I expected. Which is probably good when you're volunteering...At any rate, I think I'll be headed up there again this weekend, so...um...if I say I'm busy or gone this weekend, that's why. mmmK?
I'm now applying to college for the 4th time. My acceptance rate is 100% so far, and I'd hate to break the streak. So I'm aiming low....applying for special student status here at UW-Milwaukee so I can keep taking classes for "personal enrichment" and to prep myself if I do go on for a PhD.

hope ur gf knows about IT
were you humoring me a little with this post??
I'm not convinced tramping around Spencer Lake naked save a toolbelt and hatchet and engaging in all sorts of God-knows-what is worthy of an Outstanding Service Award...but congratulations nonetheless...:)
what are you talking about?? sorry i'm a little slow sometimes....
Congrats on the award! I did not know that you had further aspirations for education. Ya' know that the Ph.D. actually decreases your salary. ;) I bet a study of those with a master degree and those with Ph.D.s would reveal that the master folk make more cash. Fortunately correlation does not imply causality.
Congrats! Now you know what it feels like to win a prestigious Claudio Award like I have. Maybe not exactly the same, but I'm sure you'll still like the one you're getting
By the by, Esther may have competition as soon as you come over. I...have a new computer
It's a sexy beast too. Ask Brian
