Well, I'm BACK! On this blog, not in Washington. Currently I am residing in the basement of a lovely house about 20 miles out of Chicago. I have spent the last few days in Indiana visiting Grace College and Luke Karangelen and his lovely, lovely friends. I last wrote on Thursday night...here's the rundown of what has occurred since you last read:
Friday - Took the train from Chicago to South Bend before I got picked up by some Grace College representatives. The train was sketch, but the reps were nice! There was also a time change on this little train ride, about 10 minutes before I reached my destination, so that was confusing. I spent some time with Luke and his friends playing Rock Band in the girls lobby before I had to go to dinner. Luckily, Cheyenne and Kayla were my hosts and had cleaned their room fantastically for me. Dinner was good, then I skipped out on the "panel" for the competitors and went back and hung out with Luke, Aaron, and Kari. They are pretty freaking hilarious so it was fun. Then I stayed up until 2 AM with Kayla and Cheyenne in the room before I decided I needed to crash.
Saturday - Today was the competition, so I had to be at the room at like 9:15 to write my essay. But I really wanted to go get coffee first, so I did and then I may have been like 2 minutes late to the essay room, but oh well, they hadn't started yet. The essay was about how much Christians should be involved in society. Is it better to isolate ourselves, or should we just jump right in. I think I did fairly well. I wrote a lot. Then I hung out in the competitors room playing Apples to Apples until my interview which I think went well. We'll see. (Decisions are mailed out Friday!) Saturday I continued spending the day with Luke and Aaron and Kari and a lot of other people who were fun and nice. I love them all already. Then I stayed in the boys lobby until like 12 before heading back and crashing fairly soon after that.
Sunday was church and driving up to Chicago (another time change) with Cheyenne, Kayla, Hannah, and Leslie. We hung out at the Pier and walked around and met a homeless guy with a saxophone. It was fun. (See pictures on Facebook).
Everyone at Grace was so nice. Honestly, I came on this trip with UChicago being my top choice and Grace being kind of far down on the list, but I really think I could have a lot of fun at Grace and I'm going to have to consider it. But if I go to Grace I think I'm going to switch to an accounting major, because Luke already has all the books for it!!! I don't know...all I can do now is wait and pray.
Wheaton in the morning! I'm pretty excited because I think it might be the perfect middle ground between Uchicago and Grace. Which would kind of be perfect! Anyways, good night.
