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 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 saying 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 of worship and one of the few things I couldn't live without, nice people, and a good message that reminded me of the one Pastor Karl gave the Sunday prior..hm. Maybe God is trying to tell me something? I got free stuff too, and candy, although it wasn't really necessary. I enjoyed my time there, I had a lot of fun.

On Thursday, we went to two classes in the morning, and one in the afternoon. I don't remember what the classes were exactly, but some of the students shared their experiences of witnessing to others. Mike told a story about him and his partner were witnessing to an old man, who was friendly at first, but got angry at them when he learned one of them was sometimes hard of hearing. Later, when they caught up with some of their other Christian friends, they found out another pair had come across the same old mine--they just didn't see his angry side! The second class of the day was...well I don't remember. I started doodling...I think it may have been something to do with poetry or whatnot.

Before lunch, and after the second class of the day, Esther and I walked around the campus. At least..we're pretty sure we were still on Trinity Property. We sat with Charlie and some of his friends at lunch before going to a dorm meeting that was being held that day. After lunch we attended another class, and I doodled again. I was starting to fall asleep at the point, and indeed took a nap after the class ended and Esther went to work. After napping, I hung out for about an hour, sent a few messages on MySpace, and then went to dinner. (Would you believe I got quite a few messages and comments while I was gone? I never get any when I'm at home!)

Ed called after dinner and I got to talk to him for a little bit while I waited for Esther to return from work. I also watched some Tv and Pirates of the Caribbean. We went out to Starbucks once she got back with Charlie, who is a really cool dude who shared 'the mormon bathroom' story during the drive. I don't think there is any way I could retell it the way he told it, but it is hysterical! He's a bit of a comedian, that Charlie is. He told a couple of jokes while we walked around outside of Starbucks, next to Publix and Target, before we headed back to Trinity.

Friday, I attended two more classes with Esther: Interpersonal Communications and Intro to Psychology. Those two were probably my favorites. They both kept my interest long enough to keep me from doodling too. IC was probably my absolute favorite. I don't quite remember what was being taught, but something about relationships with friends and how the professor is friends with some people who are now in jail..Yeah. In Psychology we learned some of the different symptoms and behavioral patterns of people with schizophrenia which was very cool to learn about. (I'm planning on majoring in psychology/counselling, so it's no surprise I found that course interesting.) We had chapel after Psych. and I don't remember the message exactly as my mind kind of drifted elsewhere, but I got to learn a few new worship songs, which was way cool! The speaker did a really good job, and there were a few announcements made concerning the graduating seniors and whatnot.

After lunch on Friday, Esther and I both finished packing our things for the weekend and headed back home. All in all, my trip to Trinity was AWESOME. I totally loved it and I cannot wait to go there full time in the fall. Great classes, nice people, and someplace where I finally feel I belong. That's where I'm meant to be, I can feel it. I just have to wait a few more months..now to get that $200 I need to reserve my space in the dorms and in the classes...hm. Any ideas? I'm job hunting, but it's not going very well, so any ideas would be welcome!!

I don't actually have the best grades in the worldl; I struggled keeping a 'C'-average all four years of high school. I did a lot of research about the school and let them know how interested I was in attending, and it showed through all of my research and effort put in by visiting the school, and making quite a few contacts over there.
