Wow

Wow...I am definitely still in shock at what just happened. So I go to a pretty conservative college. Okay very conservative and I'm a little nieve. I've herd roomers of people having sex and all but never really believed it or thought it happened in rooms etc. Whatever it doesn't really matter.

So after watching the Sabres win in OT!!! me and 2 friends decided it was a beautiful night and that it would be cool to sleep out. Mind you I'm scared of the dark and like tents but us three tough girls decide we are going to sleep on the Field of Dreams nice open space relatively close to campus and no hiking. So yeah it was a hillious time and great fun. Here is the conversation that just insued. mind you it is now 5:07 in the morning.

I hear a stick break scared out of my mind.
Me: Rachael
Rachael: What Em? we will say em because i forgot her name...i'm tired
EM: I didn't say anything
Me: Do you here the people
Rachael: What? Em?

Random funny comments from a tired Rachael to be filled in when I'm not so tired.

Me: The people do you hear them
Pause:
Someone call security.
Rachael. Shit are they running towards us?
Someone: No there having sex
Em: Maybe there doing both
Someone: No they are definitely having sex.

Me:Called the wrong number:
Em:Okay heres the plan get your shoes on. Don't pack up your stuff but pick it up walk straight to the trees and then to the car.

Back at the car: Laughter insueing. Holy crap I thought we were going to die. Did that just happen? Its raining. Ah-must be a God thing. I'm tired.

Watch the video

A little picture journey through some of this past year. Not all-inclusive by any means. Also, just an FYI on the editing I was going for the big picture rather than pour over editing. And people say I need to chill. HA.

hmmm..

Well...I'm sitting here writing this because I cannot concentrate on my school work. Because the chapel is being renovated there is Koin (worship) on the quad or on the steps of luckey with the speakers pointed right at East. My room is quad side of east...they are doing soundcheck at the moment and apparently shawn needs more guitar in his monitor...sigh.

Anywhoo today I had a note worthy conversation with someone I would have never expected to talk to for as long as I did. See there is this worship leader at our church and he is from the Ukraine. He is pretty scary and even scarier when he is mad (especially when he is angry at you for something you didn't do) yet he is peculiarly funny and I think he thinks I'm alright once he realized I wasn't the one that kept taking the camera w/o asking.....anyway we had this great conversation about his home (he is going home for 2 weeks) and ministry. I was really surprised with the insight he had about females in ministry. There is a passage somewhere in timothy saying women should talk to their husbands and should be quit in church (or something like that). We started talking about that and he was telling me how in the Ukraine that passage rings true and he has seen women go at it many times in church meetings and they couldn't get settled down. He was saying that it is really a cultural thing because that doesn't happen in America (its not common place) and that its also a matter of maturity. Women in his church weren't allowed to come to church meetings unless they were deemed mature enough. It was really interesting to hear his insight because he grew up in a different culture.
I've always lived in America and to me that passage always seemed very old culture like I didn't think about it still happening today. Sometimes I'm easily blinded by the American culture and thinking thats all there is around the world.
It was really cool to talk with him and here just a small tidbit about his culture. I would have to admit he has always scared me and the majority of our conversations have been small talk.

Woot....to more exams left and I'm out of here! well not really but at least I'm done with tests for a bit.
