Well, here we are again...

I think I've decided to revive my blog. Since it has been so long since I've written anything of consequence, I thought perhaps an update might be in order.

I have just recently completed my undergraduate degree. It has been a great four years spent at Redeemer, during which time I met many great people and learned many great things, but it is nice to be done and to move on. Over the last year or so, I've become interested in the Church Fathers and in September will begin working towards a Masters degree in the area of early Christianity in McMaster's Religious Studies Department.

As for now, I'm taking things pretty easy. My exams are now behind me, almost two weeks late because of a lingering chest infection that may or may not have been caused by a particularly nasty Greek final. In the coming week the only thing I need do is finish my speech for graduation on the 27th. After grad, I have a few days to relax before heading out on what will probably be the trip of my lifetime.

On the 31st my parents and I will be heading out to Europe for three weeks. We will be spending most of our time in the Netherlands, seeing the sights and visiting assorted relatives, but will spend a week traveling through parts of Germany, France and Belgium. I even managed to get a pair of tickets to a World Cup match; on the 17th of June my father and I will be watching the Czech Republic take on Ghana in Cologne, Germany. The way things have worked out to make this trip possible is almost unbelievable. As an example, it just so happens that a neighbour of a relative in Holland has a wheelchair accessible van which we can use for the entire three weeks.

All in all, these are exciting times.
