I can't believe I'm doing this, but I'll dive into a brief non-sports post...
Hi.
Many of you (well, at most, like six or seven of you) may be wondering why you haven't heard from me in January. It isn't as if I don't like talking to you and complaining about how horrible Columbus is, but quite frankly, I just haven't had the time to do it. I spend about seven or eight hours a day in this place called Arps Hall and am also in classes for four other hours. In fact, Rachel got to spend some time in the Arps when she came up. It's remarkable that I'm not single at this moment... also, my New Year's resolutions are already starting to fade, and I am in the midst of a ten-day stretch of seven homework assignments and four midterms, determining roughly 50% of my grade in each class. In short, I'm trying not to fail out of here, though it may be out of my hands.
But rest assured, all of this was just a lead-in to what I wanted to post here. Apparently, Rachel, Asbury College's VP of Sigma Zeta, a science organization, is required to call Asbury alumni and beg for money. Among the sparkling individuals that she got to call was the former reverend Billy Riggs, who is now the world's first and only "dis-illusionist." I can't imagine what it must have been like to speak to this individual, but it must have been one of the greatest experiences of her life. We must say former reverend, because Mr. Riggs has left the church to pursue a career in motivational magic. I want to make some sort of Swayze-themed Donnie Darko reference, but I won't. Wait, maybe I already did...
I believe that now Rachel and I are even, since I have met a prophet and she has met a "dis-illusionist." Stay tuned for the next installment of the "Rachel and Michael meet interesting individuals" portion of my blog... until then, wait for the Australian Open recap and Super Bowl preview, courtesy of John.
