4:00am- "Wake up girls!" With 10 mins to get ready, nappy hair, and my brain on auto pilot, we head down in our core group for extra training. Last night one of the girls was late to our core group meeting. So we all had extra training that morning. Which is cool. It taught us all to hold eachother accountable, that it wasn't just her fault, and patience with one another. Plus, I think i was just to tired to even care.
5:00am- Time for corperate. Today, since it was Friday and we don't have training over the weekend...we had make up for it. So Dave Hasz played our work out theme song which consists of this chorus of men chanting "PUSH UP! STRONGER!" over and over again, and we worked out hard core, the hardest I have ever since I've been here. THEN....when you can't even flare your nosterils without pulling something...we have to run 3 miles. Oh joy.
6:00am- Then its The Race to the showers. And I mean it. We are NOT Christian followers when it comes to who gets the shower first. There are some elbows thrown. And I have to wear flip flops cause I am so afraid of getting staff or some other funk from these girls.
7:00am- Quiet time. My favorite part of the day, no joke. Cause one...It's quiet. You don't realize how precious those times of silence are till you DON'T have them. Two...I love my Father. And I love love love spending time with Him. :]
8:00am- Depending on the day...I either have classes...or work. Classes can be absolutely amazing, on the days i have had an energy drink or coffee. Otherwise I don't even have a pulse much less the ability to pay attention for a long amount of time. Keep in mind I'm running on 4 hours of sleep. The most sleep I ever get is 6 hours. Don't judge me. I'm TIRED! All the time! but classes are great. Right now I'm studying habitudes, foundations, old testiment, evangilism, enrichment, character development, and ethics. A LOT! But they're all great.
As for work...it's my second favorite part of the day. Ok the 4 other people I work with are like family to me now! We work together perfectly...we're always laughing...and it's just an awesome awesome AWESOME place to work. What i do is I call and talk to people to get them to volunteer for our ATF youth conferences around America. We need 80 for each event, so it's our job to get people to come and serve. So I call 100's of people a day and try to get them fired up to come. The downside to that...is staring at a computer screen for 7 hours till you fry your eyeballs, and the fact that I absolutely hate talking on the phone (if you haven't already picked up on that) and that's just where God put me. I bet you He get's a kick outta that. :]
5:00pm- Resisting the urge to consume more coffee because at this point I can't even see straight. The only time we are ever awake is when we are eating. Which takes 5.2 seconds anyways. We have all learned to inhale our food. I think the reason is that the food here can be so aweful at times...but we're so hungry we have to eat. So we eat it as fast as we can so we don't even have to taste it. :]
6-12- FREE TIME! aka...homework, laundry, cleaning the room, trips to walmart, and some time to yourself. And keep in mind we ALL try to get to bed early. But it just doens't happen. It's impossible. There's so much to do, and now that we finally have free time we want to hang. And no one goes to bed at the same time. All the girls want to stay up and talk about deep and meaningful estrogen filled topics and the guys all play with their nurf guns. So it's impossible for you to fall asleep early.
Then...before you know it, it's time to get up and do it all over again. :]
