BA part 2

If you had read the one before this blog will make sense hahah.

Any who, once arrived at the bus stop there was a small group of people. We could not really tell what they were doing. Until, Katelyn with her creepy ways hahah pulled up slowly next to them then drive off again. It was so funny because the the group there was all dressed up in costumes and came running to our car to get our stuff. I think it was a nice start to the retreat. From then on, I had no idea that the people I meant on the bus and at the retreat were going to be so influential to my relationship with Christ and God. Once we got to Jarrell, the retreat cite, we got off the bus just to put all of our stuff on the bed then having to line up and close our eyes to show we have faith in the people around us and the system. All the guys could hear clapping and yelling which it sound like all the girls, however when they call your name and you get to open your eye for the first time you see...

A wave of people so happy to see you and one person who runs by to grap your hand and take you to your group for the weekend.. which mine was BA Rangers with a old west theme. So cool. From then on there were different group, which helped to keep the excitement up. There were different talks about Faith, Truth, Love and Prayer. Which were really good because the people that gave the talks also gave personal stories.

The weekend of February 20th thru the 22nd, I was on a religious retreat. One of my bestfriends, John, got me to go and his girlfriend, Katylen, and also our friend Tori as well. I was excited about because I had a feeling it was going to be like my senior retreat back in high school which about the same length of time and we had different talks about life and moving on to college from teachers who come on our retreat. At the same time, I knew i shouldn't have any expectation about BA. John couldn't tell us anything which make it more interesting for me. That same week it was hard for him because some close to him had passed away so he left to go back to Houston to spend time with family which we three all understood. So we where leaving on that friday to go to the bus stop, John had told us he wasn't sure if he would be still coming and that he loves us and hope we have an amazing experience. To be honest, I was kind of upset that John wouldn't be there. And I felt like I needed one of my best friends there...

to be contiuned. :)

wow... alot of work ha.

Hello world,

Recently, the Alumni House is getting ready for graduates in May. The way we get ready is by starting to put together the Alumni packets. This packet is just an envelope with information about being an Alumni, how to frame your degree, where to start looking for a job, etc. We have to put together 3,000 packets. Crazy right?---- YES. However, it is going kind of quick. We just start last week so far we 10 bins with 40 packets in it which is 400 all together. Going in to work, I am not looking forward to those but time goes by fast which I love. This past Friday was interesting because we got in the new letter heads and Bank of America stuff in. So, my boss asked me to start putting the new Bank of America paper in the packets. Which then turned into oh can you replace all the packets with new Bank of America sheets, since all the old ones had the old black and white and not the new colored ones. Finally this turned into me replacing 400 packets with one new sheet..... very frustrating but its worth it.

Work so far...

My job is going well so far. I'm glad I have it because it keeps me busy during my long days. My boss, Lisha, is pretty easy going and I tell her job means a lot to her. Another co-worker is Christina, sooo fun to be around. Then there is the main boss, Dorothy, who is hard worker and very kind. Next are the student workers who are basically the people on the schedule with me. Venchetta, Victoria, and Aaron are all student workers. Aaron and Victoria have been working there the longest. Aaron is kind of shy and quiet but I think once I see more he'll be more talkative. Victoria on the other hand is very outgoing and knows exactly what she is looking for when it comes to work. Venchetta is new from last semester somewhat new. She is very nice and funny.
So, the job is amazing and I'm glad i had the chance for this oppurtunity when the they could have taken any other applicant.
