OK. I realize that I have not blogged in two weeks and that is not good. On the other hand, I am out of school and now at home. Home is home. It feels good to be at home. I have not found a job yet, but I am still working on it. This is not my final blog, but I would like to recap what all happened last week though.
My final week:
It was sad, but then one of the best weeks ever. I had so much fun. At the beginning it was not because I was helping at the Up All Night Study Breaks and trying to write a 7-page paper at the same time. I worked on that paper for a long time. I finished it Wednesday afternoon, I think. I was so happy. I wanted to finish it on Tuesday, but time was not on my side. Let me just say that at the Up All Night Study Breaks, now I understand why the ‘Breaks’ is at the end. I do not think you are supposed to study at this event. I mean it is promoted, but not much studying gets done. I think there were more breaks than studying. The food was great. Mr. Cillo and Rusty did a great job every night. They stayed up all night and then went to work in the
morning. I give them so many kudos. The latest I stayed up of the four nights was four o’clock, and that was once. Each night I did something different. The first night, I helped one of my friends study and listened to
music. The second night, I do not really remember. I just know that I wrote four papers within three hours. The third night, I played Mario Kart. That game is so addictive. I love it though; it is one of my favorite games to play. The fourth night, I played ‘Go Fish’ with one of my friends. Some people were playing ‘Spades’, but I was no good at that game and did not want to ruin anyone’s winning streaks, so I did not mess with that. During the day, I struggled to stay awake. Packing is so time consuming*. Unpacking
is worst though. My room is so packed right now it is not even funny. I do not know where to put half the stuff I brought home. I am so glad I put some of my big stuff in storage*because I do not know where it could have gone at my home. Anyway, saying goodbye is horrible. I did not think I would miss my
friends so bad. I did not get to say goodbye to everyone, but those that I did, I am grateful. This is going to be a difficult summer because we do not have the Internet and it is like we are all addicted to facebook. I should create a group called F.A.-Facebook Anonymous: a group for facebook addicts. I will not do that; it was just a joke. j/k Anyway, my last week was stressful, tiring, and sad, but I am glad it is over with. I wish I could go back and do the week over, but it would still end the same way. Summer has just begun and I have three months before school begins. Keep everyone in your prayers especially those on mission trips!
*Advice to Prospective Students: Do not wait until the last day to pack because over the nine months you are here, you have accumulated more than what you have brought the first time around. Also, if you are coming back the next year, it would be wise to invest in a storage unit that you and one or two others can share. You could put your big stuff in it like your refrigerator, microwave, etc.
