i GET to wake up early

yes, you read correctly. i am on morning kitchen staff. so my hours are from 6am to 1pm. i am actually really excited about that because i get to sit in the classroom during my time off. and i won't feel like i've wasted the morning hours! and i get to learn how to cook a really good breakfast :)

today we had more staff training in the morning and then lunch and then prince caspian!!! i liked the movie. a lot of people didn't like the ending... i don't want to spoil it, but it reminded us of PDA on graduation night here in the hotel. after that, we went to 36 acres for dinner, which is a piece of land owned by summit with a little one room building for the faculty and staff to enjoy. we had steak for dinner and it was like my dad made it! and a guy named phil from NC made SWEET TEA. i think i was going through withdrawls... i'm going to have to just make some. and i can now that i'm on kitchen staff :) doc showed up and said a few words. i looove it when he talks because you never know what he is going to say! and i could really tell he cares a lot about the students and only wants the best for them... which means a lot of hard work on our parts.

i got my official summit polo today! don't worry mom, it is a large. it is navy with a white logo... and it is so surreal having one! i wear it tomorrow because students arrive tomorrow. actually, one student got here tonight and experienced 36 acres with us. lucky him. anyway... i'm thinking i might just watch a newspring service online for church in the morning because i have to be in the kitchen by 11 tomorrow. real work starts monday. i do get one day a week off... but it will probably be filled with appointments or something of that sort with the girls in my small group.

speaking of small group, i'm co-leading with mish!! my roommate. she's amazing and i'm soo excited! we wrote notes to our four girls tonight and put them in their notebooks on their desks and prayed over their desks. wow, talk about powerful. they are going to go through a lot in those desks!

so that is pretty much it for tonight. cept i got a really sad voicemail from allison that she left while i was in the movie... I LOVE YOU ALLISON!! MISS YOU TOO!!! i'm sure stuff will start happening soon... you should call taylor or LG and go to grouchos for me :)
