The life of an intern

So, today has been very action packed to say the very least. But good. :] I've finally reached the point to where I've become just a tad homesick. Being around kids your age all the time can have it's trying times. For example, learning patience. Suzie no-name loveeeeees to try my patience. She does this by pointing out my flaws. Or things I'm doing wrong. But what gets me...what really just makes me want to kick her is she does it, then throws in this perfect little smile at the end. Kinda like, 'I totally just made you look like a fool...but I did it nicely.' Ah!!!!! So ya, the Lord is really teaching me to be kind and loving. Cause unlike my siblings...I can't blow up at her one day and know she'll still like me the next. lol But it's all good. I knew what i was signing up for. I dont' see much of my room mates anyways. We're usually on the field, in class, or working now.

Last night I got 5 hours of sleep. Usually I get 6, but now we have to wake up at 4:20am to go to corporate. Fun stuff. But I'm doing so awesome! I ran two miles today without stopping. Just prayed the whole way and kept my focus on Him. Did you know your body can do like 40% more than your mind tells it? Every time I feel tired I just know it's Satan's way of keeping me from reaching my goal. Ah, but I did take a nasty spill on the road while running today. We had to run in small groups...to we're all in lines keeping the same pace. I was doing fine but the girl infront of me was really struggling. And she kept slowing down all the sudden or swerving to the right and throwing me off cause I had to follow behind her and between to lines of like huge line backer guys! So we're running then I don't know she just decides, "I'm tired I'm gunna stop." Well next thing I know her back is coming at me at a very alarming speed and I'm trying to slow down to keep from plowing her into the ground...and my feet catch somethingand I go sailing forward. Totally ruined my knees, and had to run the next mile with throbbing legs. (Which still feel like they're on fire) And she didn't even turn around to say sorry. Which you know is ok. The only thing I was concerned about was all the linebacker boys trampling my already cripled body. So ya, battle scar story of the day. lol

Well here's some exciting news! I got my ministry placement today! I am in ATF opperations. Which basically is secretary work. I'm not sure which placement they'll have me in or what all I'll do, but so far it sounds pretty cool! And I really wanted to work with Aquire the Fire (for those of you who don't know what it is it's a christian conference that travels all over america preaching to the youth.)And I'll be doing the scheduals and hotel reservations and booking bands that are coming. All this cool stuff! I'm really excited. Cause I know this is a way to be challenged. I've never really done anything like this. And one of us is actually going to be the driect secretary for one of the executive leaders here. Ah! Kind of intimidating...I don't think they'll pick me for that one. But I know where ever I get placed it'll be awesome.

Well I'm off now. dont' really have that much to write today. I miss you guys so much now. I'm tired of washing my own clothes and eating chicken every day!
