Ugh, its been a long time, I know, because I have been unbelievably busy this week and next week will be even worse. Right now, Im in the TV room watching the immortal Robin Hood: Men in Tights. So I figure this is a great opportunity to blog because there are so many things that happened this week that must spill out....
Last time, I left you at the point where my board and I were going to have a serious meeting about our progress. Im happy to tell you that the meeting went very well and that every one had great things to say about why they were participating in CHA. I said that the meeting would be long, and it was, incredibly long. 2 hours to be exact. Luckily, I went to church before the meeting and I am soooo glad i went. They discussed Psalm 23, "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...." It was really weird and awesome because I felt that God was talking right at me. See, there is a God. Needless to say, I felt very confident after that. At the meeting We discussed many things from GAs to Homecoming. Speaking of which....
Tuesday, we had our Ninja GA which I think was a huge improvement from our Pirate GA, since we did our game first rather than doing it last so that people could get pumped for the meeting. Anyway, Im getting off subject, Tuesday is also the day we started Homecoing events. We tried to get the residents pumped up for that as well so that we could win this year. The first one was mini-bonfire which was due that following Friday. We discussed ideas and on Wednesday we put it into action. I was selling Clark Hall T-shirts and I had three tests that week. Although, on Thursday, I had finished my exams so I could work on the bonfire....
From what I saw, they had done a great job with building the bonfire out of nothing but popsicle sticks. Just, things needed to be glued and painted, so it shouldnt be that long of a job. Yeah right!!! i started helping them at 9pm because i figured I wouldnt be at it long. So, Janna, Jessica, Andy and I started painting and i cant tell you how long it took us to stop painting because then we started getting other ideas about what we could add to it and that added on more time of work. I didnt complain because I thought it was fun. but then it got to be 1am and everyone started to get very tired and some people left. As time went on, the only people that were left were my friend Johnny O and I. To make a long story short, we stayed up until 4:30am putting finishing touches on the construction and repairing bad things. The problem for me was that i shouldnt have stayed up so because the following night i had to stay up all night once again for my program....
Friday was the start of Family Weekend and I have been building up for this weekend since I came back to school. For about a month I have been planning a program for Family Weekend called Little Sibs. This program was for families, residents, and kids. Through Housing, i bought $200 worth of food for this program. Ok, what we did was set up a huge projector screen in the TV room and sound system and watch nothing but Disney movies. Like I said, I was supposed to stay up all night again and I did. The program started Friday at 10pm to 12 noon Saturday. I know, ridiculous, but it was very fun. Ice cream, cookies, fruit snacks, chips, and soda, nothing could be better. There was one thing, sleep. I was totally exhausted from the week at 12 noon Saturday. I have never taken such a good nap. I slept for 5 and a half hours, woke up, read Andy's e-mail about my program being the best ever, went to the disappointing UNT football game, came back and napped again....
The end and reward to the madness of the week came to me when Johnny O and Bethany called me and told me they had a surprise for me for all of my hard work. They had free tickets to the movie theatre that they got from a stranger, they expired that night. I wasnt about to let my Saturday go to waste without doing something for myself so I thought who else could go. Then it hit me like lightning, Andy. It was his birthday the next day and he is kind of blah about his birthday so I decided to make it fun for him. We saw The Last Kiss, which is a very messed up movie by the way. Anyway, that is the madness that was this week and it does not stop there, this week is Homecoming Week so events galore, I just hope Im ready......Oh! and Happy Birthday once again Andy.....
