Review: Past Semester
So everyone’s been asking me how my past semester has been working. So hopefully you know where I am. If not, you can find out by read my entries from awhile ago on the other page. So now that the semester is over, I can talk about it fully. The first few months were difficult. Life was repetative. Work, eat, sleep. Work, eat, sleep. Rinse and Repeat. Life’s almost depressing that way. Basically working for the sake of working. Nothing to break up the redundancy. Things got better as I found more things to do. I would go lifting twice a week with some of the other coops. That was a great time getting to know each other and chill and stop feeling like a lump on the couch. Still spent one day cooking something special which usually involved me botching a recipe. Wednesday nights were spent with a group of coops talking about life and God. We read through the book “A Purpose Driven Life” which was a good reminder of many basic truths and other good challenges. I would recommend reading it because it reminds us of some things that become old hat and lost to us. The fellowship was good just to talk about issues that we were all going through and could easily relate to each other. Friday nights I joined SALT, the bible study at Georgetown. It was pretty good, not as good as CFC but still good. It was pretty fun to get out of Odenton, but I really didn’t stick around cuz they were all losers and studied all the time 
. Saturdays I did odds and ends and hung out with people. I started hanging out more with the coops and it was fun. I forgot what it’s like to hang out with non-Christians. Definately should have hung out with them more in the beginning of the year. Now I know, esp. now that I’m part of the OGC – office of governing council or something like that. Sorta like the legal branch of our unofficial social chairs who did more than the real social chair (no offense to him of course). Sundays were spent going to church and watching Sunday Football. I finally picked a church. Chinese Bible Church of Maryland. What sold me on their church was they have a Young Adult service, specifically targeted at 18-30 y/o’s, and they were really nice. Didn’t take me long to meet people and go out to lunch with them. Also helps when you’re a pastor’s nephew and people are making sure you feel included. 
. I’m going to go back there when I return in the summer. I just have to figure out what I’m going to do about fellowship. Will I stay with SALT or should I join a CBCM small group? Hopefully I figure things out before I go back again. Things really picked up when I started doing more things and I enjoyed my stay there. In case you haven’t checked them out, I have a bunch of pictures from the fall semester; my DC trip, from broomball and the SALT BBQ (both courtesy of Ohn), and the Servants Retreat in the middle of nowhere VA. (Well it was somewhere but I forgot where and it really was in the middle of nowhere).
