This entry is dedicated to my friend Joel, who sent me an email that convicted me to write more in my blog. Thanks, Joel! Plenty has happened since my last entry. Basically, I've been working my tail off as a trip leader at Noah's Ark, which has ups and downs, but mostly has been a positive growth experience. By the way, my brother is now a trip leader as well, and I'm pretty proud of him for that. So, I've been in South Dakota for 2 weeks now in the Black Hills. I am taking a required summer field course which essentially combines geology, ecology, and biology. And 800 hours of riding in a 12 passenger van in the 100-degree heat. I've seen the Black Hills, Badlands, Wind Cave, Mt. Rushmore, and Pirate's Cove minigolf course (twice!). It's been alright. The first two weeks were decent. Not too much work, and getting to know some of the people here from Wheaton College. However, things have become a little lackluster since all of the general students have left. Now, most conversations center around grad school and research (blah). We're heading off to Devil's Tower in Wyoming for a night, then off to Yellowstone and Tetons at the end of the week. Did I mention that it's been hot here? In fact, if you can believe it, I think that I saw the asphalt on the highway whimpering a little bit. Well, I hope that if you are reading this, that you are doing well. Be sure to let me know what is going on in your sphere. It'd be great to here some news around these parts. Peace.
