WEEK #2! (I can't think of an exciting title)

What did I do this week? Oh yeah, that's right... EVERYTHING

I guess I can start with last Friday. At Baylor, we have this thing called "Late Night," which basically is a HUGEEE fair with all of the different extra curricular activities students can join. Honestly, I signed up for so many organizations, I didn't even know where to start. I got 2 free t-shirts, so life is awesome yo!

On Saturday, I was super studious. ALLITERATION FTW! (seriously, I did not plan that)

Sunday, I went to church, and once again, I enjoyed it so much. Never before have I felt so excited to go to church, and I feel like I've been getting closer to God not just by going to church, but also He's the only one I've been relying on, since I'm all alone in Texas! Anyway, I also went to a life group, and everyone was so friendly, it just blew my mind. I haven't felt accepted in a church for about 5 years, but I can say, that my whole life is changing....and it's only the second week of college!

Monday, or I like to say, Mundee, (and basically the whole rest of the week), I went to different student organizations. Need an example? Great! I'm glad you asked. :) I went to Black Students Association (or something along those lines) and it was incredibly awkward. NO WAIT! It was Tuesdee! Right after that club, I went to African Students Association (because they had free food!!) but I doubt I'll return to either of those groups. I felt like there was a lot of dysfunction, and that irked me a bit.

Wednesday, I took a FREE Zumba class!!

(If you haven't noticed, I'm a poor college kid, who basically THRIVES on freebies)

It was so much fun, and so hardcore and intense at the same time! Kudos to those who work out to Zumba. I also realized how uncoordinated I am..but hey! at least I didn't trip, sprain my ankle, or do something remotely embarrassing. That night, I also went to church aka Dwelling Place. It's basically a worship service for college students, and it was awesome feeling the Lord's presence as we were singing. (I'll probably put a link to one of the songs). After that, some of my friends and I went to the library to "study" aka talk for nearly 3 hours, and accomplishing... wait for it.. wait for it... NOTHING! It was so much fun though. I'm such a social butterfly. :)

Anyway, today is Thursday...err to be politically correct, it's actually Friday morning (it's 12:17AM as I type this right now) and on Thursday, I went to the Tradition Rally, basically a huge pep rally for freshmen, in preparation for our first football game against TCU...

TCWho???

Yeah that's right. If you're going to watch ESPN try to find me in the crowd. The odds of that are so low, but I'm a huge believer in fighting the odds!

Want to listen to a good song this week? Great I Am

Welcome Week!

I am a complete failure at posting blogs on time. I did not realize how much free time I DON'T have anymore. There is no way I'm going to be a YouTube addict with so many activities going on. heehee :)

Anyway, I moved into Baylor on August 18. My parents and I drove down from Dallas, and once we arrived at the Baylor campus, a whole herd of volunteers attacked my car, unpacked all my belongings, and brought it to my dorm room. The only thing I moved was my laptop and my pillow. Pretty cool, eh? :)

That afternoon, all 3,000 Baylor freshmen (and their parental units) gathered at the Burleson Quadrangle and ate a burgers and all those artery clogging foods. It would've been a more enjoyable meal, IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO WAIT IN LINE FOR 45 MINUTES! By the time I got my food, I wasn't even hungry anymore.

On Friday, my small group and I attended an extremely boring Academic Convocation. I honestly don't remember anything that we did, except watch a bunch of professors walking in their formal robes and all of us putting cheap little Baylor pins on our shirts. That evening, we ate dinner at one of my professor's house. All I remember is the lasagna tasted grrrreat. :)

Saturday, all the new students attended a church fair. I got so many fliers to different types of churches (there seriously are so many Baptist churches in Texas!). After that, we had a residence hall gathering. Basically we did some activities to get to know the girls living in our hall, and also meet the Community Leaders aka CLs (they're basically the same thing as an RA).

Sunday morning, I went to church at Antioch Community Church. I totally loved it! The worship style was very contemporary and I really enjoyed every aspect of worship, the people, and the message. I guess you can say it was Pentecostal (even though I'm pretty sure it was non-denominational) but I felt like it was a perfect fit for me. :) Finally, at night, we had a candlelight ceremony which was a worship service for the whole freshman class. We went outside at like 9 at night, lit some candles, sang a few songs, and prayed. It was a nice way to end welcome week and start our college experience. :)
