Surprising Turns of Events

Okay, so the surprise which our LIFE Group was promised turned out to be a gathering of a couple of groups for a cook-out party. Once we were there, we were asked to sign our names to a waiver, stating that the leaders were not responsible in the event of injury during "this activity." The activity turned out to be a slip-and-slide made up of a hose, a hundred-foot-or-so tarp, and a few big bottles of dish soap. We had watermelon-carrying relays up and down. It was a lot of fun.

I also went to Memphis this evening with a group going there for dinner. After we had burgers, we went up to the rooftop of the Peabody Hotel (12 stories) just to look around Memphis. That was a good time, too.

Freshman curfew is going back into effect, so I am once again confined to my dorm. Our RA, however, doen't mind it if we're out on the stairwell. (I enjoy being out after dark, though it makes me miss walking my dog.)

Right now, though, I'm back in my room, listening to an old Five Iron Frenzy CD and checking to make sure I have all my homework for tomorrow done (I do). Things are good here.

I love college.
