Keep it up, keep it up, ha! ha! ha!

Update on what's happenin:

* At a new coffee shop called Drip. Cool place - just west of SMU on Lovers Lane. Free wifi, and fast! Yay!
* About to go interview with A+ Staffing, a student temp staffing company. Should go fine, and I should be loading luggage next week for $10/hour. Yippee! (I actually am excited to be making some more money)
* Am ready to get in a groove with my two worship gigs. I will be playing Sat nights and Sun nights for Heritage church starting July 1st, and I will be playing Sun mornings for Highland Park UMC all summer, then adding wed nights for HPUMC in the fall. The three (then four) services are all waaaay different, so that's cool. I should have a different core of songs for all three (four) groups.
* Am still waiting on Perkins regarding my admission to the MTS program. Planning on stalking some folks today...

What I'm readin:

* Just finished GG&S yesterday. Fantastic book. Will read it again someday, and hope to pass it on to friends and loved ones soon enough. It is such a lucid picture of where we come from, and the book truly accomplishes its purpose of demonstrating the untruth of racism and European Colonial arrogance. The people who became 'civilized' fastest were really just lucky enough to live where they lived.
* Just started The Human Story, by James Davis, yesterday, and am halfway through it. I am trying to hone my speed-reading skills for graduate school this fall. This book is good, but simplified in such a way to make history seem more interesting. The only problem is, history was already interesting to me, so at times I feel as if I am being talked down to. Its a good world history overview book, though.
* My next steps are to continue reading general world history books, then move on to Ancient History books, then to European History books, etc. until I feel like a have a good grasp on the contextual history surrounding the church's past.
