| So, I got to visit Esther at college last week..so much fun!! I got there around 5 on Weds. afternoon and we had dinner together at Chick-Fil-A. You ever tried dipping those waffle fries in the ranch dip?? It's GOOD. After dinner, we went and put my things in the dorm room we were staying in and went off to church. It was awesome! The youth group is a bit smaller than Cornerstone, and runs a little differently, but it was still really cool. They had music--my favorite part and one of the few things I couldn't live without, a good message--similar to the one Karl gave last Sunday..hm., and nice people. I got free stuff too--though that wasn't really necessary, I was just enjoying my time there and had a great time.
On Thursday, we went to two classes in the morning, and one in the afternoon. I don't remember which classes exactly, but in the first class, some of the students shared witnessing experiences they've had over the semester/year. Mike's story about that crazy old man was hysterical. I'm not sure I could retell it and/or inform of you the comedy in that experience, so you'll just have to take my word for it. The second class of the day was...well, I don't really remember. I kind of got distracted and started doodling in the next class (and in the afternoon class after lunch), so I don't recall what they were or what was being taught. .
Between the end of the second class and before lunch, Esther and I walked around the campus and just talked..about a few different things. We joked about getting lost even though there were houses right next to where we were walking, and how large the campus actually is..though there are only three buildings! We're pretty sure it was still Trinity property we were walking on...we couldn't completely tell where the fence went and cut off and whatnot.  . At lunch, we sat with Charlie and some other people before going to a dorm meeting they had that day. After lunch, was another class...and another doodle!  . Around 2:30, Esther started getting ready for work, and I waited in the library while D'Angelo downloaded some pictures for Scott and Esther on their jump drives. Took a nap and 3, and then just hung out until dinner. Esther was still at work, so I ate dinner with..I think I was sitting next to Renee or Rachel or somebody, and then went back to the dorm and listened to some music for a bit, then watched POTC. Esther got back around 8:30, and we went to Starbucks with Charlie. I got hear the mormon bathroom story, which is hysterical.  .I was also VERY tired and everything anybody said at that time, intentionally comedic or not, I found funny..Charlie is a bit of a comedian though. He told a couple different jokes as we walked around outside Starbucks. Oh, and I think I've decided I'm a calvinist, for those of you who know what that is. It just makes more sense altogether.
Friday, I attended two more of Esther's classes, Interpersonal Communications, and Intro to Psychology. Both of those were very interesting, they kept my interest long enough to keep from doodling. I think IC was probably my favorite of all the classes I got to attend. Friday, after the second class, we had chapel which I deeply enjoyed. Got to hear some new worship songs, which was awesome! And they had a great speaker, with a great message about...well, that escapes me right at the moment, but it was awesome.
Friday afternoon, after lunch, we finished packing and started on our way back to Kissimmee/St. Cloud. While in her room, I noticed she had some Tweety slipper just like the ones I have (which don't fit..), and a Tweety coin container. We both love Tweety!! I so didn't know that before..we even both had Tweety-themed birthday parties around 10 or 11. Wow. I had no idea the both of us loved Tweety; how cool is that?
All in all, my trip was AWESOME. I totally loved Trinity, and I so cannot wait to go there full-time in the fall. Great class, nice people, and just someplace I finally felt like I belonged. That's where I'm meant to go; I can feel it. I just have to wait a few more months.. . |
