And the party continues....

           So I seriously feel like the past 10 days have been a nonstop party. From singing some JBiebs in the bus, to having a dance party in the lobby, to  Landry and I shuffling and dancing through the aisles at Fred Meyers, and the multiple times when random dance parties just seem to spontaneously combust, I have discovered that SPU really is the place for me. What other place can you find the Party Rock Anthem and Earth, Wind, and Fire played within the same hour at a campus event? I love it here! The second thing that I love is the fact that SPU knows how to show us a good time, but that they always bring it back to the main thing, which is Jesus Christ. I have learned so much as to what it means to be real, be myself, and love God. There is such a great community here and I feel supported in all kinds of way. I have an amazing PA and SMC! They are such lovely ladies and all the women on my floor are my kind of people. They are sweet, beautiful, and mayb just a lil crazy, but craziness makes everything just a little bit better. Also Emerson is the perfect mix of craziness and serenity. I feel so much at home here. We had an ice cream social as our Tradition and I laughed until I cried, waltzed with a semi-stranger, and fist pumped with friends. Oh ya...it was intense. All in all I can say that I am really blessed to be here in this beautiful city with the amazing family of SPU.

Welcome to College =) Day 1

So I have decided to go a different route with this blog and now am going to give updates on my lil life at SPU! So this goes out to you my peeps who were wondering WHAT THE HECK I have been doing out here! Anywhoo! There has been so much happening since I moved up here 9 days ago. So I came up here early on the 17th for job training with Sodexco. Since I was coming up only for job training, I only had two hours to move in. You think I would be scrambling to move all my stuff in, but I literally only had two suitcases to unpack. ahaha Not because I am such a wonderful packer and able to fit my whole room in two little suitcases, but because all 13, yes 13, boxes that I had sent up were trapped in the mail room until Monday. So after unpacking, moving the furniture, and crying over how dreary and ugly my room was, I had to book it over to my first job training session! I was so excited to meet my bosses, get trained, and learn a ton about the company, but little did I know that the sessions were SO INCREDIBLY BORING! Our bosses literally just sat there reading the powerpoints. You should also know that these power points were made in the 90's. -.- Even though the training was really boring, it was also super important and strangely enough I came to love my bosses even more.

 So I discovered that the phrase "misery loves company" is totally true! Through all the training, a cute little group of sodexco workers were formed. There were possibly 10 in this group and we would sit together, eat lunch together, fall asleep in the sessions together, ahh it was magical. lol But the best thing about the group was how adventurous we all were together.

 On the first night, yes the very first night may I add, our little group of hotties went and explored the city. We went to Fremont and ate some Coldstone, then we visited the Fremont Troll, and THEN we walked all the way to Gas Works. This was the best way to begin the journey at SPU. When we got to the top of the hill at Gas Works, it felt like you could see the whole city. It was later in the night so all the buildings were lit up and the lights shone on top of the water, and the Space Needle looked like a heavenly white beacon. It was the most amazing view ever. We explored a little more and as we were walking back home, we met some very interesting folks. They all seriously looked like extras that walked right off the set of a Panic!at the Disco music video. Turns out they liked to perform with fire. So we were able to see them dance with fire, which was pretty awesome. Then we all walked practically a couple of miles back to the school and my wonderful friend Landry and I shared some amazing spicy noodles as we looked out onto the canal. Mind you that this was all on the first day. Pictures to come soon!
