Going to street fairs in downtown Grove City and watching Mark and Justin trying to win goldfish...they didn't.
Um. Then we went up to the mountains and hung out together. Best.Time.Ever.
Then, the RAs came back and in the middle of training, we got to take a group of them to PNC Park for a Pirates game. It was a perfect night!
And finally, we got to my favorite part of training...alcohol & drug awareness. That is our dear RA, Jason Kish wearing the Beer Goggles and trying to walk the line.
Priceless, people, priceless.
After all that, we went on our RA Retreat--and it blew my mind. We have such an amazing group this year, I'm not sure where to begin. They're all so anxious and ready to serve --they're astounding.
AND. I had my first grad class last night. Yeah. Justin (see above) and I started the program together this year. We'll be getting our Masters of Arts in Higher Education. I can declare a concentration if I want--but I'm not sure about that just yet. If I do, I'm fairly certain it will be in Student Affairs, but oddly enough, the Campus Ministry one sounds oddly appealing. We'll see. So, yeah, I'm a grad student. I was holding the syllabus for my first class and just about tripped out. It's been a long time since I was a student. But the rest of the night I was completely enthralled by everything Don (Opitz) said. He was speaking my language--passion and giftedness and vocation--unbelievable. I'm really excited.
That's it for now...move-in for freshmen is tomorrow and my upperclassmen all roll in on Saturday (which will be cuh-razy)--yay for the beginning of the school year!!!!

Do the beer goggles make you talk louder too?
all i know is i would have won a goldfish. fo. sho.
Adam--It'd be awesome if they did. It was really funny because Kish is an absolute riot and when Officer McCarthy put them on him he pointed to some girls in the front row and said, "So, what about them." And Kish said, "Yeah, they look really good." He had us cracking up.
And Mikewise--yeah? But could you have gotten the stuffed animal that one of my other male coworkers failed to win for me?
there isn't a street fair prize that i can't win!
WOW. I mean, that's just impressive. But eventually, I'm gonna make you prove it.
This makes me miss you & kind of hate your "other" friends - is that bad? LOL! Just kidding - but not about the missing you part :)
I miss you, too!!!! Are you still coming up next weekend? Saturday, right?
Yes! I will get in touch so we can work out details :)
