Africa

So today in disabilities the head of the department came to tell us about an opportunity to go to Africa and I actually really really really want to go. It came out of no where and I've been debating since the end of last years trip if I'm going to be returning. I'm going to put my name in as interested tomorrow morning. It is $4,000 dollars for the trip plus summer tuition and it counts as 10 credits. My capstone 5 credits for my disabilities certificate and also 5 credits hopefully as an independent studies credit for CDEP. There is only room for 10 people to go, 5 boys 5 girls and then the department head will be with us as well as his wife. We will be staying in a three bedroom house (one for boys one for girls and one for teachers) with 2 bath, no air conditioning (80ish degrees plus in the 80s for humidity) electricity will be limited and there most likely wont be hot water. It will be at the end of August til the beginning of September about 3 weeks. Please pray for me and my possibly going to this trip.

first couple days!

This year I am a mentor in the resident halls, which means I assist two different CAs (RAs) in whatever they need doing. As a result I get a room to myself which I have found very nice so far. I still live on an Arts Living Learning Community and am enjoying myself there. I have an interview on tuesday for dining services and I'm not sure if I want the job anymore because I have a lot on my plate, but we'll see. We won our football game today and it was awesome. Yeah so life's great thus far, we will see how it goes when classes pick up as well :)

school soon approaching

So the big move in will be the 15th but it seems like almost everyone on my floor from last year will be moving in early. So I don't think I'll have much of a break when I'm moving into my room. As for now I'm just hanging out and packing and making door decorations for the residents. For the first time in a long time I am actually excited for school to start, I've had a long time at home again this year and I'm ready to get the school year started. That's my life update.. stay tuned.
