The RC Gong Show once again, last night, left me in a puddle of conflicting emotions. It is twenty percent fun -- eighty percent savage. There are few things I can remember and be thoroughly glad I didn't participate in; this is one of them.

All right, first day.

My initial impression of Dr MacKinnon (see? I used his title) was of a reasonable fellow with a good sense of humor, and he really did nothing to destroy that image with me. In short, Marriage and the Family should be a good class.

The first... maybe twenty minutes of Bowling consisted of standing around waiting for the instructor to show up. The only other time this has happened, Mr Pleasant walked in, glanced around and introduced himself: "Are you the Conditioning class?" He then told us that Mr Diehl was "no longer with the school" and that we'd be getting a new teacher. Naturally, I felt a little sick today when Mr Pleasant appeared in the gym. (Not again?!)

But Mr Lewis is only on his honeymoon and will be back next week.

...WHY IS THAT SO FUNNY.

Hmm... some of the freshmen I've met seem like very cool people. I'm looking forward to knowing them better.

This year feels different. God has finally convinced me to trust him a little.
