too lazy to come up with a title, and even this one took some thought. . .

Church, mainly Sunday school, was SO different. I've been at North Boulevard my entire life, and I always know pretty much everybody in my class. Not today, lol. For the first time ever, I was in my own church and only knew about six people in there! It was cool though; I met a lot of people and caught up with some who graduated before me. After Sunday school, I went to service where the students and their families were released early to the fellowship hall for a potluck lunch. Mmm, good food right there.

After church, my cousin Nathan and I met up with my brother, his wife, and Powers to go to Convacation at Murphy Center. Aron Ralston, the guy who amputated his arm when he was caught "between a rock and a hard place" spoke. I wasn't sure how good it would be, but I really did enjoy it. . . and the Band of Blue did a marvelous job of playing the same song four and a half times in a row, lol. Ralston's speech was really good; I liked it a lot. "Yo gotta believe!"

Once Convacation was over, Nathan, Amy, Renfroe, and I walked over to the president's cookout. . . where the first words we heard from the concert were "I like big butts, and I cannot lie." We waited FOREVER in line for our food, and it started to poor like crazy. For awhile, we ((plus Alex Rader and two girls Amy and I didn't know)) huddled under an umbrella, but I finally just let it rain on me. I got soaked. After eating in Peck Hall, Amy, Nathan, and I walked back to our cars ((30 minute walk in the rain)), and Nathan and I went to Food Lion so I could get some random stuff.

Oh, I never said anything, but I got a desktop for my room like, a month ago, and I finally got the internet in my room today while I was gone, so that's pretty cool.

. . . College starts tomorrow.

aww, well just get to know some of the people you don't know. It's always cool to meet new people, plus you'll have someone you'll know on the campus if you ever see them there and all. I know you'll have a great college experience. Good luck with everything today! :)
