Vienna Night Run

by


Your VCS Running Team

A few other staff members and I ran this year’s Vienna Night Run last Wednesday. It is a 4K that starts and finishes in Vienna’s Museum Quarter and follows the length of the main shopping street in the city. So you can imagine this is a street I spend a lot of time on. You know me, shop til I drop every weekend.

It was a nice, mostly flat run and a great way to motivate myself to get back into running. The one thing I found odd about this course were the post-race snacks which consisted of Krapfen, sugar donuts, and a few other assorted pastries. I don’t know about you, but pure sugar isn’t the most appetizing thing to me right after a hard run. Of course that didn’t stop me from eating a donut, but I did have to wait a little while to drop that on my stomach. Also, I’m pretty sure it’s still better than the turkey liver pate I received after the Marathon I ran a couple of years ago.

Video Class

One of the new classes I picked up this year is a videography class. In this class I have 8 seniors and half of them already knew what they’re doing with a camera before the class even started. So one of the things they’ve been working on are commercials for the Senior Store. Here are the one’s we’ve completed so far. We also did a week long series for Spiritual Emphasis Week that we will be posting later on this week. All future videos will be posting all of our videos on this Youtube group.

Enjoy!

Staff-Student Soccer Game

staff_student_soccerLast week we also enjoyed a Staff vs. Student soccer game. For those of you who know me, you know that soccer isn’t my best sport, though I did impress myself with a couple of good touches. Though I think those were mostly by accident.

I did have a shot on goal, though…Ok, well it would have been if the goal was about 2 times…make that 3 times as large as it normally is.

In any case, it was a lot of fun even though us teachers ended up on the losing end of this game. Of course, we’re all Americans. We’re not supposed to be good at soccer.

Direction Determines Destination

Sew Speaker 1I think the hardest part of getting back into blogging for me is deciding where to start. I’ve missed so much that I’ve been meaning to write about that I get overwhelmed thinking about how I can possibly catch up with everything. So in the end I justSew Speaker 2 decide that I need to let those things go and start where I am now.

Sew Speaker 3Last week was Spiritual Emphasis Week at VCS, which means we have special guest speakers come and have chapel everyday. Pictured are the three speakers who came over to speak to our kids with the theme, Direction Determines Destination. They did a great job of challenging our kids to strengthen their relationship in Christ, which real practical ideas. Also they presented the gospel in a manner that challenged our non-Christian students to think more deeply about accepting Christ into their lives. Just today I heard from a fellow teacher of a student who accepted Christ as a result of last week’s messages.

Please continue to pray that God will continue to challenge the way our students think about Jesus. Whether they are believers or not I desire them to see Christ in a new light, and one that draws them closer to Him.

Great Scott!

McFly!One project we did this summer in Plymouth is a Quicktime Virtual Reality Image. My partner and I decided to do a panorama of a nearby traffic circle, though it didn’t stitch together exactly as we hoped. If you look carefully, you can see my feet in the image.

It’s just like in Back to the Future where Marty is playing the guitar and all the sudden realizes that he can’t play so well and that his arms have a translucent quality to them. He looks at his family picture and realizes that he’s almost disappeared complete from the picture.

Well see, this summer I built a time machine and messed up my personal history so I had to get my parents to kiss at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance. No, wait, that’s from the movie. It was the University of Tennessee Baptist Student Union Semi Formal. No, no, that wouldn’t work…Baptists don’t dance. It must have been an ice cream social or something. They ordered one milkshake with two straws and lived happily ever after.
