last spring break, i went on a mission trip to hcjb (they are basically a mission that sets up christian radio stations around the world).  i basically decided to go there because it was one of the few spring break trips where my computer skills would be used.  i had a good experience then, so i figured i'd sign up again.  with hcjb, they give us a sheet with projects they need worked on and we send them our resume and our favorite 3 projects.  this year, one of the projects is building a compuer from scratch (they hand me the parts and i make them the computer ready for use).  
many of you know that i built myself a computer this summer.  now, i'm not near knowledgable enough to pick out which brands to use and how to get the best specs without spending a ton.  so i had someone help me out with that and i did the rest.  from the time i retrieved the boxes from the post office until my installations and configurations were complete, i was unable to be distracted.  my apt-mates made tacos, good friends watched movies that i REALLY wanted to see (they were mine actually), great conversations went on around me, and of course i also missed sleep.  i was obsessed, focused (to the extreme), and passionate.  a good friend told me he hadn't seen me this happy EVER (and he has known me since i was ~3).
ok, so i was this passionate about building a computer for myself...now i get to build one for Jesus! mine is used by Him some, but this one will be totally His!
