Hey. Hope everyone is doing well. I haven't heard from a lot of you in awhile, drop me a line if you get a chance. (By the way, everytime I write 'a lot', I think about my Senior English teacher who used to tell me "A lot is a piece of land". Yeah.) Lots of exciting things going on. Ok, not really. Since I've been back from Maine, I've been spending pretty much every night with Becca or Staci at whatever places they're housesitting. It's pretty fun, you get to watch their TV, eat their food, and live in their house. Yeah, I pretty much already do that all day long at work, but anyways. Black Lake camp was last weekend. I had a blast. Three nights of bad sleep, and 4 days of being a counselor to many teens who are still trying to figure out who who they are. Very cool.
Classes start in a few weeks and I am sooo excited. I already went school shopping and everything. Ok, call me a nerd, but I don't care. I'm taking Chapel, Pneumatology with P. Phil, Romans with P. Powell, Bible Study Tools with Elliot, Advanced Greek with P. Shockley, and Church Ministries of course. This also means I have got to get a jumpstart on the yearbook. I might be using a different, more advanced program this year, which all boiles down to a lot (there it is again) more work for me. But I do it anyways, because I love it.
Recently someone shared with me something very insightful. A fellow student away from home said that he doesn't bother with missing home or feeling sad because really, it does no good. The only one it's hurting is myself. Good to think about. West Coast Conference is coming up soon. Wish P. Spencer could be here, but I don't think he's going to make it.
Oh, we just painted the dorms. Orange, white and blue. Looks pretty awesome. We've been having some interesting 'conversations' recently. Constructive arguing might be a better term, except it's not very constructive at all. But I know that God has put us all there for a reason, whether I like it or not. Sometimes you just have to get over yourself in order to move on in life, and in order to be a testimony.
Well, gotta go. Keep in touch. ~Andrea
