Weekends are so much better than any other part of the week. Nothing compares to feeling of freedom that comes in the last few minutes of work on a Friday afternoon.
I made the trip back up to my college campus for a visit. Unexpectedly, there were quite a few people in from out of town and we had a weekend filled with fun, laughter, and adventure. I'm still trying to figure out how I made it the whole weekend without getting any pictures...but here are few highlights anyways:
- My best friend and I slept in and then just stayed in bed and talked to two hours. I don’t think I’ve done that since grade school.
- Lunch at
- Visiting the Essigs, my home-away-from-home
- Sewing curtains with Nick – or at least trying too, this was a fiasco. “Screw you sewing machine, Go back to hell where you came from!” (Kettie was a little frustrated)
- Learning to this game and being really bad at it (like cornhole and horseshoes combined…I have no clue what it was called!)
- Going to see the most intense fireworks display ever – This was mainly due to that fact that we were 100 yard from where the fireworks were being set off, so fireballs and burning ash were falling all around us. I saw a stuffed animal catch on fire.
- Staying up until 4am chatting
- Visiting Kettie’s wonderful church and getting to hear Christian preach. Way to go, You were fantastic!
- Chicken Alfredo and (non)Garlic Bread
- Picnicing and saying goodbyes to many new friends
- Walking through my campus in the rain. It was beautiful and quiet….one of my favorite places in the world
Isn’t it strange that a student only spends four years in college and yet it has and impact for the rest of their lives. Now is when I expand my knowledge, train for the future, and form friendships that will last for a lifetime.
It was a wonderful weekend. I was able to spend time with one of my best friends, plus I got the chance to make many new ones.
Gosh, do I really have to graduate?
