My 21st Birthday

First post in what... almost a year?

Ah well. It's not like I have a following I have to keep happy, but I did think it appropriate to post upon turning twenty-one (as of this past Sunday).

Let it go down in history that on my 21st birthday I went to church and studied physics all day.
Let it go down in history that, whereas others dulls theirs senses with alcohol on their 21st, I strengthened my spirit and sharpened my mind.

In other news, after 2 1/2 long years of keeping my GPA up at my local community college, I have been accepted by the best engineering college in the nation, the University of Michigan College of Engineering, starting in the semester of Fall, 2008. What's so fantastic is that it's still within driving distance of my home, meaning that I can receive an great education while saving money and staying around the people I love most.

Tuition is still a factor, however, and I am applying for several scholarship (for which I would appreciate your prayers) in addition to federal aid. I believe God will provide.

T minus 25 days for the big wedding of the decade (century even... until I get hitched ;). Johnny's Slachta and Samantha McFadden will be joined in holy matrimony as Mr. & Mrs. John Slachta on the 8th of March. We're all looking forward to it--I'll be fresh back from Hawaii and taking an extra weekend off school, just unheard of! I'll love every minute of it.

Welp! I think that about does it for one post. I've done my duty and written far too much already. After writing all those scholarship applications, why writer's edge is spent. Have a wonderful winter everyone!
