22 days until I am 20, and until Freedom!

Hey everyone! Last weekend was packed full of fun and events. On Friday night, I helped set up and sell tickets for a benefit concert for the mission team going to Africa this summer. Several of the girls going are in my hall/dorm, and I have been part of a prayer group for the Africa team. The team raised about $1,200 that night which was a huge blessing. I spent Saturday preparing for a presentation in Marriage and Family with one of my friends, Emily.
Saturday night was Roomies! I set up Heidi with one of our mutual friends, and she set me up with a Freshman named Peter Ellis. He is pretty popular and is a music major. The theme for Roomies was decades, and Peter and I dressed up in 70s attire. I didn't know he was my date until he came and knocked on my window. Apparently, Heidi set us up together through his roommate, but his roommate didn't keep it a secret from Peter, so he had known for a while, but I didn't know until about 15 minutes before we left. I sent Heidi on a little scavenger hunt just in our hall. Each clue had a letter to the guy's name in it, and at the end, she had to unscramble the letters to find out who her date was. She did this about 5:45 the night of the event. We were both pleased with our date, and we carpooled in the same car. When we got there, they tied our ankles together, and we spent the rest of the night that way. It as kind of a carnival theme, and each room was a different decade. There was Mario Cart, Price is Right, and a weird dodge ball type tournament thing. There was also this booth where you could eat gold fish (for the great depression, supposedly) and I didn't do it, but Peter did. It was kinda cool. Anyway, there was lots of stuff, and we had a good time. He is a pretty fun guy to hang out with. I signed up for classes on Monday, and I found out I don't have to take any summer classes, and I only have 16 credits a semester, as apposed to my normal 17 credit load. The classes all seem interesting. I am so looking forward to coming home this weekend, and I am looking forward to Summer, which, for me, is 22 days away! YAY for summer starting on my Birthday!
