So, I have not tumbled about my internship. I feel like you all are wondering how it’s going so, here it is. :) I’m coming up on the 4th week of this thing and it’s so interesting to be working in a faith centered environment. I’m working on a few projects for some ministries in Awana. I’m excited to see how they will turn out. I’m the only guy intern out of the five of us. It’s a bit awkward at times but then again it’s not. I’m happy with the way things are right now. This internship is different from last summers because I actually have to dress up and what not. It’s cool though to see how much God works in others lives. Even though I’m not into ministry, I feel placed in this for a reason to gain knowledge and experience. I do miss my internship friends from LiNK and it’s hard to think I’m working somewhere else but I feel that this is a good thing that will benefit me in the long run. When I have completed projects I’ll be sure to share them with you all. :)

So glad to be on summer break! There is not greater feeling than having nothing to do for a few months. There are some things that are weird about being home. Like working, I like working but there are just sometimes where it’s too crazy, there are certain people that I really like to work with but others not so much. There were a lot of times during my time here at home where I see some people from high school that I personally don’t really care to see. It’s almost every where that I go I see people from HS that I did not talk to and it’s a bit awkward. There are a lot of times that I won’t go to certain stores because I’m not afraid to see them but just don’t want any awkward encounters with others. There are a lot of days where I just want to go to a store and not see anyone that I know because I feel that running errands are like my time. It’s weird but that just how I see things plus people have changed a lot since HS and going to College really effects that change. 

With summer here and all I’m excited for a time of working and reflecting. I’m working the same job where I put on a penguin suit, well kind of. I’m happy to be making some real money this summer. I’m also excited about the internship at Awana which starts on June 6th! It should be a good experience even with the craziness of working both at Awana and the Banquet hall. So, it’s going to be a 7 day work week for me. As far as reflecting goes I will be reflecting on this past year. I havent been exactly “Home” in about a year. Summer in LA and then off to school. Not much time to reflect on a lot dealing with my experience at GC. BTW I miss you Friends!!!! I’ll be reflecting on my time there. I had a good run for a year there but I’m feeling there is a lesson to be taught during my time there at GC. 

I’ll be updating this weekly during the time of my internship… or at least try to. haha I’m really bad at consistency. Prob should work on that. 

That’s all for now. 

Peace and Love. 

That party was awfully crazy I wish we taped it. Haha Just Kidding. This is a bit more of a serious matter than a college party. It’s my last night in Greenville and it’s a bittersweet feeling. I must say this first Greenville, it’s not you, it’s me. haha. All kidding aside I’m excited to go home but sad to leave some awesome friends. I can remember the feeling that first day here at GC. Scared, nervous, stressed and excited. The outcome was a good group of friends that I’ve had good times with and a community of people that are in good fellowship with one another. I’m excited to see what the future holds for all that are staying. Even though I’m leaving this place that I did not enjoy at first, I feel that it’s safe to say that I’ll miss it. I’ll miss the friends that will tell me the same jokes that never seem to get old, the small town, the independent coffee shop, the movie theater that has 3 movies in it, and the DC. I will be back to visit and I plan on keeping that promise. I may not know the days but it will be soon and when that day comes it will be amazing. 

“Every goodbye makes the next hello closer.”

Only 7 days left of school. So excited for summer. I’m happy with the way things went in my first year of College. Yes, a lot has changed over the last 12 months but it does not change the substance of a person. I may have changed since high school but college let me know who I am as a person. I wanted to share a journal entry that I had written in my last week in LA, It goes along with the fact that there are only days left of school. 

8-6-10

All there is left are days, So sak in the warm summer haze.

Everything is going blue, separating what is right & true.

Molding into a new self, finding my own wealth.

There is a feeling of being scared.

I’m doing things I would have never dared. 

Here we go (again)

Life’s waiting to Begin…

I was at this concert on that wet night in Chicago and the feeling that was in the room as Tom DeLonge spoke was indescribable. I share with you now that feeling. well, sort of. 

I Love 8 AM classes… Not.
