I brush my teeth a lot.

I started my classes here at Ozark a little over a week ago, and I'm happy to report that they are all pretty awesome. I've decided to give you a little overview of a typical school day for me. I'll use a Tuesday schedule, as it is one of the busier days.

6:00 AM: Wake up, reach over, set alarm for 6:30 A.M.
6:30 AM: Wake up, and lie in bed for the next five minutes, previewing the day's schedule.
6:35 AM: Get out of bed, put on clothes, eat breakfast*, brush teeth, review memory verses.
6:50 AM: Leave for my first class.
7:00 AM: First class of the day: Christ and the Bible with Woody Wilkinson. This class is my least favorite, only because of the fact that it starts at SEVEN IN THE MORNING. Other than that, its pretty enjoyable. The teacher is funny and passionate about what he teaches. One of the best things about Woody is that he reminds us everyday that he prays for us and loves us very much, and you can't not believe him.
7:50 AM: Leave Christ and the Bible and head to Acts.
8:00 AM: Second class of the day: Acts with Chris Dewelt. This is class is pretty cool. Dewelt is a tall weird looking guy who likes to make lame jokes and then laugh at them a lot. He also likes to call the class "Christian", as in: "You're going to be asked some tough questions in the future, Christian... are you ready?"
8:50 AM: Leave Acts and make my way to Christian Life.
9:00 AM: Third class of the day: Christian Life with Matt Proctor. This is my favorite class. For one, it has the lightest workload of the bunch. For another, the teacher is freakin' awesome. He is the President of Ozark, and knows what he is talking about. Every class is more a sermon than a lecture.
9:50 AM: Leave Acts and go to Chapel.
10:00 AM: Chapel is mandatory every Tuesday. I know it sounds lame, being required to go to church, but its really not that bad. It usually consists of worship and a sermon.
11:15 AM: Leave chapel and head for History of the Old Testament.
11:25 AM: Last class of the day: History of the Old Testament with Gary Zustiak, mostly known as "Zeus". Although the title of this class may give the impression that is boring, in reality it is quite the opposite. We have already begun to discuss evolution and reasons for believing and disbelieving what the Bible says about the creation of the Earth. This is the class that I have really learned the most.
12:15 PM: Lunch time. The food is actually pretty good.
1:00 PM: Head back to the dorm, brush teeth, take a half-hour nap.
1:30 PM: Wake up, brush teeth, write out any memory verses for the next day on note cards and begin to study them. Find what needs to be read for the next day's lectures and read it. Hang with other guys in the dorm, play video games, check my mail.
5:00 PM: Dinner.
5:45 PM: Head back to the Dorm, brush teeth, find something to do.
9:00 PM: Bible study with Elisa.
11:00 PM: Shower, brush teeth.
11:30 PM: Go to bed.

Not to exciting, but that's basically the definition of Joplin.

Aloha,

Fox out.
