This past weekend was the Student Christian Fellowship Fall Getaway. We went to Lake Kum-Ba-Ya on Kentucky Lake. Saturday morning at 8 am was the time we left UE. I was extremely tired, but the drive there was fun with Becca driving and Jessica, Brittany, Hannah and I riding. We listened to old school Backstreet Boys and the Freaky Friday soundtrack. It was an awesome time bonding and spending time with them. We got there about 10:30 am-ish. We unloaded our stuff and just hung out for a little while. Then we had lunch and got changed for the wacky games we were going to play. I was on the "Fantastic 11" team. We did the dizzy bat race and the passing of the vasoline covered watermelon and the water/spitting game and the egg toss and canoe races. I had a blast! Then I laid on the dock with some friends and just chilled, talked and whatnot. After free time was dinner, which was yummy chili. Then we had a message from our leaders, Mark & Trevor, from UE and the leader, Don, from USI. It was good. They talked about John 15, the vine and the branches. I realized I need to be sharing Jesus with everyone I come in contact with. I can't be afraid and shy, but bold and full of confidence from God. After the message was campfire time, which was in a fireplace under a pavilion because it was raining. Still had the same effect. Had some s'mores. Played all the silly games that no one hardly ever gets, like "the green glass door", "sticks", "the string", "the cup". I got most of them, but its so much thinking and it takes a little while to get them. We used to play them when I was younger at LCC, but I didn't get them then, haha. After campfire time, we pulled mattresses from the cabins and slept under the pavilion for the night. It was nice and soothing, because it was raining awfully hard. 8 am wake-up call Sunday morning, with yummy breakfast of yucky (lucky) charms & a banana. Then a long drive home, which I slept for most of. It was an awesome weekend to just get away from school and all other distractions, and truly focus on God. I wish it could happen every weekend. I just need to spend more time with God regardless, He'd like to hear more from me I'm sure :)
Classes this week have been well so far. Nothing too major. Just a couple of quizzes in Chemistry and Chem Lab that confused me, but nothing too big. Lab today was super easy and I loved it, I now remember why I liked chemistry in high school. The stuff we had been doing wasn't what I remembered as chemistry. My EXSS classes are going well, nothing much going on different. I have to run 1.5 miles tomorrow for my 111 class, should be an interesting time. I have been running Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but I don't know if I can do 1.5 miles. We'll see. I was supposed to have an IM soccer game tonight, but it got cancelled because of the rain. I love playing soccer, but the rain today was soothing and nice.
I have been searching for a job recently. I have applied at many places in Evansville, but nowhere seems to want to hire me. Today I applied online at Kohls and I'm filling out my application for Vertical EXcape, the rock-climbing gym. I would really like to work there, so we'll see. Today while driving around looking for all stores with "NOW HIRING" signs, I got very discouraged and upset. I feel as though I will never get a job, because I don't have hardly any work experience. I know you have to start somewhere, but I can't start anywhere because I have no experience. Tell me how that works. I also got homesick, because I haven't been home in while and I miss my best friends and parents and brother and almost sister-in-law and grandparents and friends. I saw my parents on Friday night, but its not the same as seeing them all the time. I haven't seen Jackie in forever, but I will this weekend. Mom and Jackie are coming for "Family Weekend" here at UE. So, I'll get to spend time with them then, but Friday seems forever away at this moment. I guess I'll have to lift my chin and push on through this week.
Well, I need to work on some things before I go to Bible Study :)
