so next year's roommates have come down to dykas, aaron, and this guy named derek. the three of us don't know derek too well but aaron met him at some newsong thing. just yesterday i found out that he was chinese and we all had lunch together today. he seems like a pretty nice guy. he doesn't seem too social and he doesn't like any sports except ice hockey. chinese guy liking a sport like hockey. that's a first no? he doesn't play much video games but he does play cs. oh, a big plus about him was that he could supposedly cook! but anyways, i guess he'll be ok to live with. i mean, it's not like you have to be the bestest of buddies with whoever you're living with right? especially since he's chinese! hehe, just kidding.

tonight, i had dinner with a whole bunch of ccm people at commons. man, i guess it really is true how these campus ministries are great places to meet some cool people. today, i got to know some of the sophomore girls a lil better. their volumes are a bit high but they're nice and fun people. haha. and sitting next to jamie was an interesting experience. i've come to realize that whenever i meet people, i either come off as being kinda quiet or really mean. i guess that's just my type of humor. the mean kind. but that's ok, people laugh and that's how i get to know them. i mean, there IS a nice side of me in here somewhere. you just gotta dig dig dig!

oh but there was this one thing i forgot to write about last night. that guy, james, (that's his name, james...the guy who's really passionate about apologetics). he shared something very interesting at ccm. his one dream in life was to study like crazy and have a televised debate against the world's most renown atheist an just rock him! haha. i thought that was a pretty cool dream that he shared with us. i mean, most people dream of becoming rich or finding cures for diseases. but james's thing was to show the whole world the futility of nonchristians. awesome.

tonight, almost everyone in my suite went drinking or clubbing or partying or something. they asked me to come but i denied the offer. however, i became all discouraged about the whole deal cause i started thinking about it in a little more depth. i might have appeared to show no interest in going out with the pagans. however, what exactly was going on in phil's heart? of course i wanted to go! i wanted to get drunk like a moron and dance the night away! oh how fun it must be, hanging out with a whole buncha girls and not having a care about the world. you see, just the fact that i even entertained the thought of having a sinfest comes to show how ungodly i am. i shouldn't even be CONSIDERING the party! a godly person would have straight up thought that it was wrong and displeasing to God. oh how i lack godliness. oh Jesus come and take me home!
