This week as been yet another interesting week. Everyday I come home thinking, "Man today was interesting!". No joke. Something cool happens everyday, PTL! :)
1. Life has just been going by so fast. Seriously. Only 40 days of school left (not counting weekends), and I feel like I've only been in school for a shorter time. I feel like I've just been sitting in school, and time has just gone by with me zoning out, not knowing that everything has been going by past me so fast. I'm not sure how to explain, but it's just amazing how fast time flies. Seriously, I still don't know some people in my classes. It's terrible since this is my last year here in America, and of course, in Valley.
2. I met Bryan Clay, an olympic gold medalist (track and field) this week. He came to our school to speak for chapel, which was a GREAT experience. Diane told me that an olympic gold medalist would come speak for our school for a chapel, but I never really knew she REALLY meant THE olympics. I thought she meant some guy that won some decathlon that was for some reason named after the olympics. But apparently not! His lecture for us wasn't very special, probably not interesting at all, if it wasn't for his fame. I got a picture with him AND an autograph (I just happened to be taking notes that day and well, happened to have a notebook with me!). Thanks, God, haha! :D
3. A family friend of ours was going somewhere from Wed-Sun, so she let us babysit (or dog sit in this case) Yogi, her dog! Yogi's an amazing dog. Seriously, she is so well trained and obedient that I'm totally jealous that she's not our dog. We have two cats, but she's very gentle around them. I took her on a walk and she doesn't need a leash. I give her a bath and she stays still and doesn't shake. She's so well mannered and amazing. :)
That's kinda the main points, but also what I wanna say is that the weather pretty much sucks right now. I can't believe Spring already started... grr, winter is the only season I like. It's so hot already, I don't even want to imagine what Summer will be like. I hate the heat. Hate it. Hate it. I guess that's all.
Oh, man! I just realized that next week is Spiritual Emphasis week! That means chapel everyday! Which probably means shorter classes! :) And I just love chapel. Makes me happy. A guy named Mark Cahill is speaking... his name sounds so familiar but I can't put my finger on it. It's also accreditation week next week, which means everyone has to be well behaved (and no food in class). Boo.
And I'm going to Florida the day after school ends! I'M SO EXCITED! My mom's friend is bringing us with him to Florida because his company is paying for him to go there. Other people from the company he works at is going, too, but he's the main person, so that means we go there a day earlier and we're the VIP, VIP guests. Yay! :) First class seats, Hilton suites, probably a limousine, all you can eat dinners, and more! Yay!
(I also slammed into a cactus while walking Yogi today. But luckily I didn't get hurt that much. Woo, go God!)
