buggy!

So, today was my first time using a radio for "real". I've had my license for about a month, but I've either been out of town or rolls have been cancelled whenever I've signed up to go out for buggy. And they got cancelled this morning but it was after everyone was out and ready to go and the net was running, so I still got a bit of the experience.

I knew I'd enjoy it, but it was actually more fun than I'd anticipated. So that was good.

And then I spent the rest of the day being semi-productive. Got my foreign policy project done, read half of the novel for Russian history, and got signals and systems 2/3 finished.

I also got to listen to a fascinating talk by a Pentacostal minister and his wife. My RA decided to run a series of religion events bringing different sorts of ministers of different religions in to talk with us (followed up by us going to their sevices), and today was the first one. The smallish group of us had lunch and just talked. The minister is actually a philosophy professor at Carlowe and got a PhD from Duquesne, and so it was kind of cool to see some religious arguments with intellectual depth attached to them (even if I did disagree slightly with some of what he said, or some of his perceptions about the nature of God, Holy Spirit, etc.) - it was great to hear a different, well-reasoned perspective. I went to Mass tonight, so I can go with the group to check out the Pentacostal service tomorrow...should be interesting, if nothing else. :)
