So I haven't posted for a long time.
It's college.
I've been busy.

I'll try to summarize what's going on with a healthy measure of brevity, but this still might be sort of a long post.

Right, so the summer finished. I don't really remember what all else happened. We did record that video I mentioned earlier. It ended up being pretty great. Really weird and slightly ridiculous, but fun. I have had a lot of trouble trying to be able to upload the video to Facebook. I'm trying again right now; I think it should work this time.
I had a lot of fun working on this. It made me want to do this kind of thing more often.

Anyhow. In August, I headed off to school.
I'm at a Bible college, which means, naturally, that I am studying the Bible. It's exciting stuff. I wish I could continue for four years just learning all kinds of things, and I think it'd be beneficial, but it costs money.
Speaking of which, I started looking for a job as soon as I got here, and now the first semester is over and I still haven't found one. Things are looking pretty promising right now, though. I should have an interview soon, and if that doesn't turn out well I have a few other interesting options. For a good portion of winter break, I'll be staying in Iowa. I'll be at my brother's apartment until I can find somebody closer to campus to stay with... It costs way too much to stay in the dorms. This is the last night I'm allowed to be here without paying extra.
Anyway, a lot of people are praying I'll get a job soon. It's encouraging, but it also creates a weird kind of pressure.
I've just skipped to the present, though. Let's get back to how this semester has been.
When I got here at first, I loved it. I knew I was going to want to stay here for more than a year if I could manage to afford it. I felt like I was really going to be able to grow here. After a short while, though, I began to feel a little uneasy. I started to get really disappointed with the people here, because a good number are pretty immature a lot of the time. I thought I knew who the mature people were, but those were not the people I was around as much.
Things got way better, though, especially toward the last couple of weeks. There are some really great people here, and I've had a lot more time to talk to them. I know that this is exactly where I should be right now -- where God wants me to be -- and I don't think financial trouble is going to be enough to keep me out. (Ideally, however, I will get a job and will not be having so much financial trouble.)
Anyway, I'm getting out of the rut I was in earlier in the year and am trying to change and grow. I'm excited to see what God has for me next semester!

There are so many more things I could talk about, but it's hard to relate at this point. There's way too much to recall at once.
Hopefully I'll post more next semester so you can be kept up to date on what I'm doing.

Oh, and here's a few more quick notes about the future:
I volunteered to work at GDC (Game Developers Conference). If I am selected, I will get full access to the conference and will work twenty hours. It will be amazing. Still, I'll have to pay for food, lodging, and travel costs. I'm leaving it up to God. I may not be picked and it won't even be an issue.
I generally assume that normal people cannot understand or relate to my prospective career choices, but regardless of whether this is the case, you could be praying for me about this. I would appreciate it.
Also, there's a Christian camp in Michigan that I was thinking about being a counselor at over the summer, but I haven't asked about it yet. I heard they need people, though. Prayers regarding that would be nice, too.


...By the way, I'm still trying to work on a game. I have not had a lot of time, so things are going slowly. Still, any amount of progress is great and makes me feel like I'm doing things!
I started in October, and I still haven't gotten to coding it yet, but I've done some graphics and music.
Here's a mockup:


































It's called Wishes Above Clouds. I have a lot of things planned for it, but I'm going to have even less time to work on it next semester (assuming I get a job). Still, I should be able to move ahead slowly.

I feel like I haven't said enough, but I guess I'm finished with this post.
