This week was crazy busy for me! I travelled through practically every state in the U.S. Okay, it wasn't that bad, but boy oh boy was it a trip! I was going to Nationals in Greenville, South Carolina. We were going to fly, but a "blizzard" decided to blow into Denver. My friends flights were cancelled so they were going to drive. Since I was a part of group competitions, it was important I got there. So we drove for over 24 hours to get there for the competition. There were 7 people in an Escalade, three of them being teenage boys who just happened to be roughly about 6 feet tall. I honestly wasn't sure why I was in the car. Especially when my mom called me and told me that she was on her flight. Heh. Heh. Can't say I was too happy about being in a car for a long time and Mom just FLYING to Greenville y'all.
We got there and there was no rest. We crashed for the night and competition started at 8 in the morning. I taught Bible to start out with. We ran all over campus competing. And can I just say that wearing heels was NOT THE BEST THING TO DO! My feet were protesting at the end of the day! It was hot and sticky everywhere we went, but it sure was fun! I got to see so many friends and compete, and it was just great!
Results for the competition: I didn't place in the top 3 but I did place in the top 10 on several things. (They lost some of our judging sheets so I'm not too sure about some things) Oh well. The week was amazing. The time with friends, new and old, was awesome. And I got to fly home. Best.thing.ever! It sure puts a 4 hour flight in perspective after driving for 25 hours the same amount of distance.
I had such fun with everyone and I didn't want to come back. I love the accents, the south in general, the sweet tea, the college campus, the friends, the weather, how beautiful everything is. It was great! I can't wait to go back next year.
Little shout out: I was able to watch some drama productions put on by BJU students/faculty and I wasn't expecting it to be great, but it was AWESOME! I was very impressed! Should I go to school there for a few years, I will definitely be watching, if not participating in the drama productions. It was a sweet time and I am so blessed to have this opportunity! This week, I am catching up at college. (Oh the joys!) But it was well worth the work I have to catch up on!
Every good and perfect gift comes from above! <3
Have a great week!!!
