The first week of college felt like sumer camp. Allow me to explain: I'm staying in a strange place that sort of smells funky. I ate food in a cafeteria at designated times. If you want to eat before or after these designated times then you're just out of luck. The food is not very healthy at all and I definitely wouldn't want to eat it for more than a week. I met a bunch of new friends in a short period of time and I kept thinking that I wouldn't be seeing them by this week because I'd be on my way home. I've had a blast with all these people so far. And I'm sure it'll continue. I'm hoping to find a church sometime soon. I had duty last weekend so I couldn't go to church. And this week I'm going out of town so that means I won't be going till the week after. I think I'm going to check out the Journey here in St. Louis because I've heard that it's pretty sweet. Wish me luck.
Well I haven't been online for a few days and I must say...it feels good not to be joined at the hip with a computer anymore. I was addicted for a while there but then I realized that there were people around me that I could actually talk with...weird.
So, this Friday kicked off Welcome Weekend here at MBU. I had an absolute blast. I met all the guys in my hall including my roommate on Friday. He's a pretty cool kid. He's actually from Colorado and he listens to a lot of Christian Metal. Friday night, we had free barbecue and karaoke. The rest of the RA's and I sang "Get this party started" by Pink. It wasn't my top choice but I went along with it anyway. Saturday, was cosmic bowling. The university rented out the entire Brunswick Zone from 9-Midnight. Free bowling gets old after a bit. Free pizza and soda, however, do not. I've had a blast this whole weekend with getting to know new people. Tomorrow, classes start so I had better get some sleep. G'night everyone!

Well, I'm here in Missouri. And it is hot...humid...whatever. This trip was awesome. I am a big fan of road trips anyway but especially when there are no complications. Basically, road trips are a great excuse to listen to music for 10 hours straight. The best way to describe this journey is surreal. I drove my '86 Volvo most of the way here while my parents drove their Toyota Camry. At one point my Dad and I switched vehicles. There is something strange about seeing your own car pass you on the highway. I can't remember ever seeing the tail lights of that car fade into the distance.
There are so many billboards on the side of the highway in Missouri. And some of them are hilarious. It's one thing to see an adult bookstore billboard but to see one immediately followed by a Cracker Barrel billboard is priceless.
When we first started driving into St. Louis I saw a car with personalized license plates that said "NAWTY-K". That is funny in and of itself but as I passed this vehicle I noticed handcuffs hanging from the rearview mirror. I don't even want to know what that person does for a living ::shivers::
I am so anxious to get my dorm situated and start my R.A. training.
