Vacation Bible School

This is my favorite week of the entire year!!! I love it!!! I love how everyone pulls together to make a week where kids can have a great time and learn about Jesus! To meet a child where he or she feels most comfortable. I love to hear reports of kids talking and making friends, of kids loving the craft room, of the t-shirts being their favorite craft, and so much more! During the week you realize how much your prep was so worth it and how really 60% of the work is before. This year we've been a little down on numbers, but it's been okay. At least we haven't run out of anything, even though we have a ton of materials left!

What's especially cool about this year, having my future plans in mind, is that I am learning so much and keeping note of what to do and what not to do, what I liked and disliked, etc etc. I am sooo grateful for that!

People, people,......please!

You know what drives me nuts!?!?!?

When people choose pictures of themselves and their significant other kissing and put it as their profile picture. Look, okay, I'm happy for you, I'm (maybe) glad you're in a relationship, but I'm your friend and I don't need to see that. A kiss on the cheek is one thing, but can we tone the PDA down a bit!!....please?!?!?

Anyway, the "field" seems to be narrowing. All of a sudden people, my friends, that have been single for forever (with me) are dating. It's not at all that I feel lonely or "very single," like I'm missing out...quite the opposite. I am completely content! So there! What's the point, really! (As far as right now!) It just really irks me!

Just tone it down, a bit, please......not that any one of you would read this (which is probably a good thing...)

Freshman Orientation

So here I am sitting at a computer in Weber blogging about this Freshman Orientation that I'm in the middle of. I love it!...for the most part, lol. It's good to actually meet people and stay in the dorm and see everything for real. It was really exciting working on figuring out my schedule. The only, which is nice, but also a hassle, is the amount of duel credit classes I've already taken, as well as my ACT score and CLEP test, gets me out of a whole lot of gen ed classes. Being in the Honors Program also adds a whole new loop. It actually made it kind of more difficult. But I think I'm really going to like it.
(I have to apologize for the terrible grammer and use of commas in this! I'm just trying to get this down since I have some down time, but this keyboard is kind of sticky.)
I love that I only have like 5ish classes that are interesting. My honors class is something like Exploring Humanity Thru Film, how cool is that. I'm taking an upper lever class, hopefully, since one of my advisers is the teacher, I'll be in Intro to Philosophy. Then there are a few other classes as part of my major, Christian Education and Christian Ministry, basic stuff. Then the only gen ed class I have is Fine Arts.
I'll be in colorguard in the fall, which means band camp starts August 12, so I leave home August 11-Happy Birthday, Mel..you get a floor to yourself! : )/: (. But anyway, I gotta go eat here pretty soon so I will talk to you all later...thanks for reading and allowing me to waste some time in a great way : )



VBS or bust!
