Busy busy busy...

After the weekend, we jumped straight into a crazy schedule. We have worldview and biblical studies classes from 8AM to 12:30PM, then technical and creativity training from 1PM to 5PM. A very full schedule, plus homework and practice times.

I finally managed to sell my old GY-DV5000 Pro video camera, and for full asking price too. I finally got the money and turned it around and ordered a Canon 7D, with a reasonable large Compact Flash memory card (32GB 266x). If enough money comes in, I'm going to try and order a Canon EF 50 1.8 (I think the 1.4 is too expensive for me right now) for low light shooting on outreach. I'm not sure how well the f/3.5 28-135 will perform in low light.

So this last week we read through Genesis and Exodus. Lots of genealogies. Moses is an very repetitive writer. Although, it was good that he was, as his repetition and accuracy have allowed the preservation of meaning for thousands of years.

My work duty is much better than last time (last time I had Kitchen duty.) This time I am working on construction and landscaping at King's Mansion, which is being turned into a kind of HQ/retreat center for world leaders. It's a very nice very green property, and it's nice to work up there. I also got a campus drivers license so I can drive the campuses big vans to bring people back and forth between Kings Mansion and campus.

Anyway, more updates to come this week.
