okay...

All my friends that are coming back to Yemen this year are back. Ruth and Priska and James have left. Life is mostly back to normal. In school, the only semi-interesting person is Hannah (she is quite amusing, I think she is probably just as intelligent as I am and also works twice as hard...she'll probably get better grades...oh well).

Last Thursday, a bunch of people went out to SIS and we played Ultimate Frisbee. It was awesome fun, and I think I'll try to get the Youth Group to make it a monthly thing.

My door now has no lock. It has failed twice. I doubt it will ever have another outside lock. Deep sadness. At least my dad fixed it so it close normally now.

And i am feeling peculiarly unimaginative right now, so I guess that is all I am going to write about.

Scary

School is starting in two days. This is scary, because i will be in a class with both Luke and Hannah. Otherwise I probably wouldn't mind it very much. It is also rather annoying because it means that I got considerably less than 2 months of vacation this summer. But I also got to read quite a few Terry Pratchett books, so I guess everything is cool. I have also recently read a philosophy book, which was very funny. The guy who wrote effectively showed that nobody can know for certain that Santa Claus does not exist, because knowledge of that would require complete knowledge of the entire universe, which only God has. So saying that Santa does not exist is like saying you are god. Very amusing, considering how many people have said Santa does not exist. The guy also gave many extremely convincing arguments that values are objective and not subjective (this is something that pretty much everyone believes underneath, they just don't like to admit it). The book was called "The Best Things In LIfe" and was very good. I recommend it very heartily. The reason I haven't posted in a while is because I have had very little interesting things happen to me recently.
