Today.. that was a different story. I set my alarm for 9 (I'm trying not to let myself sleep too late. Because then I just stay up later, then sleep later, then stay up later... it's a vicious cycle), and had some quality Jesus time and got ready (which at A&M means throwing my hair in a pony tail and putting on nike shorts and a t-shirt. Doneskees). I headed off to Target, and then followed my GPS to Michaels where I found a whole new part of Cstat that I didn't even know existed! Oh yeah! I headed back on campus, and walked a good 25 minutes to Sbisa where I had lunch with Kevin. We then walked took a very very very long-cut scenic route to get to the Rec where he attempted to teach me how to play racquetball. I understand it from outside the glass, but put me in there and it moves way too fast for my brain right now. BUT, I'll get the hang of it. I won't let Kevin say that he can beat me at that just because I don't know what I'm doing. Then Kristen Dennison from Cho-Yeh and another friend, Maggie, came up to the Rec and we worked out for a while and went exploring the Rec. We walked onto the pool dec, a pool that I always wished I could swim at in college (back when I thought about swimming in college) and a HUGE flood of emotions rushed over me. I never thought that I would miss swimming as much as I did!! It was ridic. Right then I decided that tomorrow I was going to go swimming! This time though, I am going to be swimming for ME. Not for my friends or coaches. Not because I had to, but because I want to. So excited! After the Rec I came back to my dorm and created a quick craft project. The wall next to my desk has become my "inspirational wall" and so I created a little cross that says "loved" to hang up there. It's SO cute! And a constant reminder of the love that I have from all directions in my life. My small group from Impact then met up for a surprise event. Having NO idea what that meant, and no plans for the night, I decided to go. Oh my gosh. So much stinkin' fun! Reneé (my small group leader) had come up with a photo scavenger hunt to go on!! The first thing we had to do was "take a picture with a Corp guy holding up a gig 'em"... Umm... we finally found 2 Corp guys who wasn't doing anything super important, but the picture turned out really funny because there is a huge gap in between the 2 guys... so funny! Then we had to "take a picture doing the stanky leg in the commons lobby". UM. For all who don't know... the commons lobby is one of the most populated buildings on campus, especially around dinner time! It didn't help that I knew 3 people in there from Langham! Then we had to "take a picture planking underneath the catwalk between Evans and the Annex". Luckily there was like NOBODY around, and so it wasn't too terribly horrific. Once we got done taking this picture (only our 3rd out of 15) a giant 60mph wind/hail/lightning/rain storm came out of nowhere. The wind HURT and it didn't help that we were right by a construction sight so dust was everywhere. It looked like a hurricane/tornado mix! We all took off running for the nearest car (most of us had walked to where we met) and hopped inside. Well... the scavenger hunt was obviously over so we went to Freebirds for dinner. (Funny story.. Renee (best friend, not Impact leader) has been trying to get me to go to Freebirds for YEARS and I have always used the excuse "I don't like burritos" even when I don't recall ever trying a burrito) I ended up having tacos, deciding I couldn't have my first burrito without Renee. It wasn't half bad! After Freebirds, we met up with another small group and some other leaders from Impact and played Disney Scene It. It was SO much fun! It ended up being like 6 freshman and 10 leaders, and we laughed SO hard. Gosh. I have missed having fun being surrounded by strong Christians who are pursuing our Savior and just being able to be myself (as weird as that is) and just LAUGH. Gah, it was awesome!
I didn't get dropped off at my dorm till 11:30, and had been gone for the most part since 10 this morning. It was SO much fun though, and I absolutely LOVED being busy! I'm already planning on how I'm going to be busy tomorrow... I'm probably going to let myself sleep in a little bit, and just have a lazy morning because I think Genny will be here all morning (I barely get to see her with rush stuff... she just texted me that she JUST got done with rush and is getting dinner... CRAZY!). Then I'm having lunch on campus with a leader from my impact group, and then going to the rec and to academy to look at bikes. That night my impact group is having a cookout, and then we are going pond hopping! Supposedly it involves jumping in the fountains around camp.. so excited! Another busy day!!
God is so good :)
