Oh me Oh my!!

1- The girl next to me today in theory class ate her ENTIRE apple. I'm not just talking about ate every bite of apple down to the core, I mean she ate the WHOLE thing. Seeds and all.

2- I think Frenchi, the car swiper for lunch in the DC, and I are at war. A few days ago I went to the DC and Frechie was nappin at her swiping station. So what did I do? I stomped my feet up and down until she woke up, swiped my card, and then fell back asleep. The next day she was swiping my card as she chewed her nails and then spit a nail on my card. Today, after she swiped my car I went to grab it and she held on. But she didn't just play the joke on me ONCE, nope she sure did hang on to it for two pulls, all the while laughing histarically at me!!

3- When I came to bethel I also set up a facebook account. I was just informed YESTERDAY by a random friend from the past that under my info it said I was interested in Women. Then, thanks to the new news feed, when I changed my interest to Men(because I'm not gay) it alerted everyone that I had changed my interest.

4- Today I went to chapel. The theme was about reconciliation and a mission's trip several teachers went on to Africa this past summer. On my way I tried calling Rachel to see if she wanted to sit with me. So I went and sat down by another girl that I knew. About three seconds later, Rachel texted me and asked if I was in chapel. As I was about to text her back literally 8!!! teachers came and sat next to me. I was surrounded by teachers. I'm not the sneakiest person, but I tried to be and I texted rachel that I was sitting by 8 teachers and another girl that I knew. One of the teachers glared at me as I texted, I found out why later. They were one of the people who went on the mission's trip to Africa. Overall, it was a good chapel. I especially enjoyed singing songs in other languages!

Oh and here are a few random pictures from the homecoming cheer night...

Chipotle Dinner with G3

Have I mentioned I'm having a blast at college???

My favorite thing about this picture, is not just that I am generally happy, but that the old man behind me is very intently reading his soda cup with intense interest in what it might have to say!

Here it is...Krista's dorm room

Well, What do you think?!?!?!?!

The Crutch Olympics

I have decided I REALLY like college dorm life. I love that at any possible second someone can come barging into your room and ask you to do something random. With that said...

Let me explain the Cructch Olympics. Last night after dinner I went to say hello to my friend Ashley, who previously that day hurt her ankle and had to use crutches. After saying hello and chattin for a little while I asked if I could mess around with her crutches. She, being a nice friend, let me. I was about to go up and down the halls and my RA dared me to launch myself as far as possible, thus started the crutch olympics.

There were two events.
1- Crutch Long Jump: You started with one foot behind a line we duct taped to the ground, and then launched yourself as far as possible. Jess marked where your back foot landed.
2- Crutch Run: You raced down the hall as fast as possible using the crutches. Jess timed you.

Overall, I didn't win any events. But I tried my hardest, had lots of fun!! and managed not to hurt myself!!

The Crutch olympics were provided by Ashley, and inspired by me. It was honestly a great time to get to know the girls on my floor a little better, laugh a LOT, and have lots of fun together!

Here an idea of what it looked like...

to those invested in my life

I'm very thankful for the people that Jesus has put into my life. I'm thankful for the few people, especially, who have made this college transition much easier. Sometimes it's the people in your life that allow you to feel like you are "at home" rather than the actual place. Thanks to those of you who have been so supportive, encouraging, loving, and persistant to be so invested in my life!! It means more that you will ever know.

Time to POST!!

I've been at college for a little over a week now. I am about to encounter my first weekend at college. Have any suggestions, let me know!!

The first few days was Welcome Week. When I arrived on campus I was greated by the welcome week staff, and within five mintues I was in my room with all my stuff. I didn't have to carry a single thing, because the welcome week staff did it all for me! That was awesome. There were many activites throughout those few days. I got to know lots of people, and remembered only a few names. Now classes have started. I only have one class M,W,F...so i'm pumped about that. It leaves time for chapel, and homework before my 1:50-2:40 music history class. I like my classes. They are mostly music focused, since I'm a music ed. major. It's nice to finally take classes that I care about. My roommate is nice, and we get along well. Our room is cool, and when I can borrow someone's camera to take picutes of it, I'll post them.

I'm currently listenin to Derek Webb's new Mockingbird CD. I'm enjoying it so far.

Things i am/want to be involved in: Women's Choir(I'm in it!) Ministry Teams (either from the campus or at a local church) There is a team that goes to downtown minneapolis and just hangs out and talks to the homeless people. I think that would be really cool to be invoved in. We'll see how much time I have.

Well, time for lunch. Feel free to call me anytime, if I'm busy I just won't answer.

Here are a few pics of people I've met here. If you are wondering what sign we're holding up it stands for G3( Getsch 3rd floor in sign language)
