The Olympiad

At the beginning of each school year, there is a little thing the college church group here does called the RFC Olympics. It's basically to let all the new freshmen and transfer students have a chance to get to know the old members of the group. (For me last year...well...I was really shy.)

This year is already turning out to be a blast! So far we have had three events, including a photo scavenger hunt. My team is most likely in third place right now, but I'm pretty sure we deserve first.

I just wanted to make a quick stop by here and show you some of my favorite pictures from the scavenger hunt.

Here a group of us are, getting a picture of a Bible scene. Can you tell which scene it is?

Hint: It involves feeding 5000 people.

I just think this picture is funny. I find it interesting that I can slightly pull off Zach Galifinakis's style. (Picture with a famous person.)

And here we have my top favorite picture. We had to recreate a movie scene. This is Titanic. You can see the nice water under the bow of the ship. And up top you see Jack holding Rose.

While taking this picture, I told my Rose, "I've got you," to which he responded, "Never let go."

Pretty funny for a freshman male. :)

(All the freshmen I've met are just wonderful! Have I mentioned that?)

Yay School!

I actually got a little nervous for the first day of my sophomore year of college.

I think it was because I had two Journalism classes on the first day. Since I declared at the end of last semester, I had never had a class from my major. So when I was the first one to show up for my Fundamentals of Journalism Lab, I was a little anxious.

Unfortunately, we had an assignment on the first day of lab. Unfortunately, we had to interview random people. I am never very good at meeting people and finding out all sorts of information, but let me say...I was just a tad proud of myself. I got some juicy information from my guy. His fraternity had been kicked off campus last year! Win.

I ended up liking my lab a lot, and every other class that I had my first day. Well, apart from the fact that in my Biology class, there are 599 people besides me. We took up a fourth of an arena. It was absolutely packed. To make up for it, the professor played guitar for our class. He apparently is a local celebrity!

I already have homework for all of my classes thus far, but I'm not complaining. This semester won't be hard, but it sure will be a lot of work. I think...I may have to...STUDY! (Cue scary music.)

You see that? My boyfriend and I are cool enough to wear matching outfits for our first day of school.
