revoir et prevoir

I realize it's been a while, so I'll fill in on a few things that have happened over the past month. It will also be a while till I post again, because I'll be living in the woods for the next 2 1/2 months. So, here we go:

- I got to see Stars of the Lid play on Penn's campus a few weeks ago. It was amazing, transcendent, meta-music. I'd say to listen to them - which you should - but it's not nearly as transfixing as being surrounded by the music and the projection.

- I saw the movie "Expelled". Decent movie, a little concerning for me when I look at the state of scientific close-mindedness. It's largely true, from my experience, although it is a bit slanted towards being propaganda. All about how science is now closed to intelligent design, and the breakdown of intellectual freedom. It's interesting to me to see academia in the position of control and oppression - the same role the church used to have over science.

- I finished my SCUBA certification - wuhoooooooooooooooo! I also saw a hydra and either a baby snail or arthropod or something (I was supposed to be doing a skill and couldn't full investigate) during my training :D. I'm doing the advanced training in August.

- I'm working at my old summer camp again this summer. I'm going to be the staff-in-training leader (high schoolers come for 2 weeks and are semi-staff, I help lead them). I'm really looking forward to being immersed in wilderness and Christian community again. Pray for wisdom & care to be poured into me by God to be poured back out on these kids & my fellow staff.

- I'm moving to Atlanta right after camp!
