Dorm Days

Hey guys. Last night, my dorm had a hang out time from midnight to 3 for all they guys and girls. We played some games; I learned two new games, Killer Bunny, and Bang!, which are kinda the same type of games as munchkin, and they are fun. I was the first one out in Bang!, then I went and won Killer Bunny, so that's great. It was a lot of fun. Then around 1:30, both RDs, (which are a husband and wife) surprised everyone with a plastic ball attack (which is w/ those plastic balls that are in ball pits) and we all had fun attacking each other w/ plastic balls. After about a half hour, the RD (Jen), my RA (Bonnie) and another girl from my hall and I slipped out to the patio and watched through the windows, as the fight continued for another half hour! It was so much fun! After that, things calmed down a bit and a lot of people went to bed, but I stayed up and played poker with some of the the dorm mates. I lost...pretty fantastically. lol. I got to bed around 3 AM, but it was totally worth it. Today, I have some homework to do, then I'm gonna hang out with a friend of mine upstairs. I am so glad it's Saturday!

Angels and Saints

Hello Everyone. I am feeling less stressed now because I just finished my psych homework, so I feel like I can blog again. This weekend was fellowship rush. In case you guys don't know, fellowships at Corban are like Sororities and fraternities at public colleges. They even have Greek letters and stuff. They have events for the whole school, as well as bible studies and events for those in the fellowship. So I joined the Angels and they have a "brother" fellowship which is called the Saints. There are about six fellowships on campus. So they all put on these skits and tell us about themselves and then we run to the fellowship we want to join and we go through initiation. Some initiations are nice, others aren't but they are never horrible. One of the men's fellowship had them all shave their heads! lol. But the Angels were pretty nice, we just post-it noted the guys' cars in front of their dorm. (The Saints were led through the underground tunnels at Corban, which I think is pretty cool.) After that we lit candles and introduced ourselves an then we had an after party and played games. It was pretty cool. I think it will be a good way to get to know more people and to have fun. So now I am going off to work, so I'll ttyl.

Why Couldn't It Have Been Butterflies!

Hi everyone! My week has been pretty good. I visited another church called Salem Alliance, and it was very big. The sermon was good, but I am going to keep looking. Wednesday night the girls of Prewitt had a hang out night at Midnight where we hung out and played games to get to know each other better. I stayed until 1:00 and then went to bed because I had a 9:00 class in the morning, but I know that the party kept going until around 3:oo! I'm glad I left when I did. Last night, Thursday night, some girls and I went to Walmart at around 11:00 and bought random stuff that we needed. Then we came back around midnight and Megan, my roommate, was going to put her bed on cinder blocks. I was just getting out of the shower and brushing my hair when she yells, "Spider!" and screams. At this point she had just stripped her bed of her sheets and I had no glasses on, so not knowing where the spider is, I run and jump on my bed and join her in the screaming. She points to the pile of sheets and I see a silver dollar sized spider crawling into a fold of her sheets (which I had just ran past on my way to the bed). Neither one of us feels capable of killing the spider, so Megan runs to get help and I stand helpless and half blind staring at the fuzzy pile that is the sheets and the spider therein. Thankfully, Megan returned quickly with a hallmate, and I run out the door when she enters. I hear screaming and then silence while standing in the hall in my PJ's without my glasses on and my hair half brushed. By now the other girls in the hall peak out to see why we are all screaming and I tell them. After a safe amount of time, I peak my head back in the room and they inform me that the spider is dead, and I reclaim my glasses. Both Megan and I are tired, but she still has her bead half torn apart, and I we are both completely freaked out. So we put her bed up on cinder blocks and she finds the spider web that the spider was living in under her bed, and destroys it with none other than the power of Windex, which she also sprays around the window for good measure. I am still a little freaked out so I remake my bed and thoroughly search the area for spiders, and once satisfied that there are none around, I go to sleep. By this time it is around 1:oo, so I have had two late nights and have seen enough spiders to last a lifetime! I have never been so happy to see a Friday before!

Toga Parties and Gladiator Games

Hi everyone! Today is Friday and I am excited for the weekend. Classes are going great. Today one of the Fellowships (which is like a christian serority) put on a toga party/gladiator battle. People dressed up in togas and showed off thier stuff in a fashion show. There were two catagories, most creative toga, and tackiest toga. I was kinda like, that's lame at first, but then I started thinking about togas in general and got kinda excited. So I went to Walmart and got some stuff on sale and got together with my hallmates to go to the toga party. It was a blast. There wasn't a lot of people there, but it was still fun. There was also a gladiator event for the guys. They were in teams of four and battled eachother with plastic swords...it kinda reminded me of that weird group that gets together at the lake and fights eachother, but I have to admit it was fun to watch. These guys were very in to it. They were launching off of their teammates and lunging into the other team and doing crazy stunts. It was really funny to watch. Kinda scary, but seriously halarious. That's all I have for you guys for now. I have pics for you below.

This the group of us that went to the toga party. From the left, Sarah, Rachel, Me, and Whitney.
This is me in my toga yay. I bought the white sheet on sale at Walmart as well as the pink curtain. I was in the "most creative" catagory, but I didn't win anything.
This is Rachel, she is adorable. She is my RA's (Bonnie) roomate.
This is Sarah. She is the funniest girl in the hall. She won tackiest toga! It was amazing. Everything on her was stars, she even had shoes with stars on them! Very creative.
These are some of the crazy guys who did the gladiator type games with plastic swords and cardboard shields. It was insanity.
