so this past week has been a very stressful and sad.There have been some good things and really tough stuff that i'll blog about later. But as for this site, if you didn't notice, it is finally underconstruction. Matt is pretty good at this and is trying to improve the looks of this place. yea Matt! until next time...

Rounds

Last night and through the rest of this weekend, I have my first weekend duty for RA. This means that I have to be in my cottage from 530 friday night until 530 on Sunday night. Also, I have to be in the "box," which feels like one, from 8-10 friday and saturday night. This job has some weird hours! But so far, so gooooood! At CBU, we have a strong relationship with Asian transfers and on my rounds last night, I got to meet Caris. Since security is so important, she's from Asia. We asked if there were any boys and in her broken english, she said "der ees one but, uh, we need di-rec-schon." I LOVE PEOPLE WITH ACCENTS! I LOVE PEOPLE WHO AREN'T AMERICAN! Don't get me wrong, I love Americans also, but the diversity in each culture is so much fun! So, I told her I would wait while he tried to figure out directions and we just got to chat. In our conversation, she mentioned that she was a Christian and I asked if she liked it here. She said yes because she can take her Bible every where with her, wave it around even, and not go to jail. Wow do I take that for granted. So, this made my night and I can't wait to meet more international friends.
If you don't have anything to do and want to come to the cottages this weekend, I'll be catching up on Harry Potter and season 1 of Grey's Anatomy. Please feel free to visit! Happy Friday!
