Waking up this morning I feel a little sleep deprived and after my shower a little nauseous, I don’t quite know how today is going to go. I do know one thing, I can’t wait for 12:00pm if I’m going to feel like this all day I’m going to need a nap and by then I’ll be exhausted, that’s our first “free time” although not really because it’s supposed to be when the seminars are. I think God would want me to take care of myself though, I think He understands. So I took a nap ate some lunch and felt much better. I then went to the seminars. One was about suffering, why? because I thought with everything that’s happened recently I thought it would help. Between the heartbreak, disappointment, depression this summer, and then the whole thing with my family on Christmas, the guy that was speaking has muscular dystrophy and it really made me think, although my life isn’t perfect at least I have my health and people who love me. From what I counted he’s lost at least 3 of the 9 people in his immediate family. So whether the people who love me are family or friends I consider family at least I still have them. And if he can live his life with the disease and the loss of immediate family members, my troubles really aren’t that bad. Sure, I’ve just had my heart crushed by a very good friend and my family is…difficult but I have so much else to be thankful for. The second seminar I went to was called Study Abroad and Do Missions. All the research I’ve done on going to Australia, I hadn’t thought about connecting with other Christians while there or trying to reach people. The guys in charge gave a few websites and suggested we talk to our staff about the different places we want to go. My only thought on that though is Cincy’s staff is all about India, I doubt any of them would know much about what’s going on in Australia or if there are any missions going on over there. After the seminars I stopped by a third about friendships and relationships but I just couldn’t connect with what the lady was saying so I left and went back to my room, thought I might take my computer and see if there was free Wi-Fi in the lobby, but I couldn’t find a place to sit in the lobby so I found somewhere else to sit, but unfortunately still no Wi-Fi. So no internet until I get to J’s supposing they let me hijack some of their internet or worse until I go talk to UCIT and get the password for campus’s Wi-Fi, that means the 2nd at the earliest, we’ll see if I can do this. I suppose you’re wondering how it’s going not having my guy friends around, aren’t you? Well, it’s not too bad, besides yesterday I haven’t really gotten to talk to Janie at all or really anybody. I mean I could probably go find them but that would most likely mean seeing him. He hasn’t really talked to me and we haven’t been around each other much. I’m typing this throughout the dayand at this point I haven’t seen him, yet (it’s almost 5:30pm). I think I’m going to go find them. Found the internet, it’s in the lobby, I also found M&J which is always nice. My day was just made, Zach's going to start in the game on Saturday :) He really does deserve it, it is his senior year after all and he played so well this season, glad to see he's back. There will be absolutely no way I miss the game on Saturday.
