startin up the blog thing again

so yea i think i enjoy writing notes....maybe this will turn into my new blog....even though blogs in and of themselves are kinda funny.....they are based on the idea that the blog writer thinks he is important enough or has something so profound to say that everyone will wanna read it....well my issue is that i dont have anyone to talk to all day...i mean if a few people had not called me today (and today was actually unsual on that front) i would not have had a conversation with someone since about 10:50 this morning...that is crazy! so i have alot of stuff to say.....well that is until right now....i dont have a ton to say right now....except that i am going home on Thursday and that i have a job interview tomorrow.....woohoo on both accounts!...i can't wait.....tomorrow is actually my favorite day of the week....i really enjoy my pastoral minstry class...we talk about practial stuff in ministry....like tomorrow we are talking about "leaving well" in other words, "how to quit!"...sweet! that implies that i will not be fired....which is so much more likely! haha.....

so yea today i went to Tulane again to study...i dont know why i go there....i mean it is not like all of my friends here on campus are keeping me doing my work...i guess i just feel more comfortable in a liberal enviroment! haha....but they do have a new student center (but no electrical outlets)....they also have a nice food court but i am afraid to buy anything b/c they might ask for my ID or something then realize that i am not a student and then kick me out.....which would be sad.....oh yea btw (by the way) i had some really good "new york pizza" last night at this place on magazine st.....it was great.....but the price was kinda inflated.....maybe that is for like shipping and handleing cost from nyc....haha.....

so yea thursday i have test.....jeez! i have no clue what to do....i think i am gonna wing it!...haha...after filling out the "study guide" he gave us i have 9...yea count them...9 pages of typed notes to study plus 2 maps full of places i cant pronounce (much less spell! and the lord god almight knows this over educated boy can't spell)... on top of the 9 pages and the maps i have to memorize the dates and names of the different historical periods from the neolithic period to the early arab period.....and just for you knowledge here they are....

5000-4300 BC (or as like to say, just becuase i am a rebel) Neolithic period
4300-3300 BC Chalcolithic
3300-2300 BC Early Bronze
(2300-2000 BC Intermediate Bronze)
2300-1550 BC Middle Bronze
1550-1200 BC Late Bronze
1200-1000 BC Iron I
1000-586 BC Iron 2
586-332 BC Persian (Iron 3)
332-63 (37) BC Hellenistic
63 (37)BC- 70 AD Herodian
70 -324 AD Roman
324-640 AD Byzantium
640-1099 AD Early Arab

so yea i got the titles right without looking and did fine on the dates until they stoped being easy....some are ok to remember like 70AD (the destruction of the temple) and 1099 AD (the first crusade) but jeez man....i guess my issue is i HATE and always have hated objective information...even when i taught i did not have people memorize a ton of objective info....and when i was at NYU we were taught to teach so that the kids had to anaylize the info not just spit it back at me....of course with that one might see a post modern bent to my ideas....

ok whatever i want to go to bed.....
