Nearing the end.

Hi Friends,

Forgive me for the (repeated) delay in posting.

I'm actually trying to head home for the day, but the voice of my friends Alexis and Sarah are ringing in my ears that I'd better get posting because they have been very faithful posters lately...

The last time I posted, I wrote about my trip to Greenville.

What I didn't have time or energy to write about was that that week I had been helping some students grieve the loss of their friend. She was in a car accident the Friday prior, and was in a coma until Wednesday when she succumbed to her injuries. Her name was Kate and she sounded like a marvelous woman.

Grief counseling is difficult. (how's that for an understatement?) As a helper, and one who didn't know Kate, I had forgotten that I would end up with emotions and pain and stuff coming up that I needed to deal with. The Lord is good to all who hope in him, though and I was able to (slowly) go through the grieving process myself as I helped with these women. Friday we will have a campus memorial service that I was blessed to help plan. May the Lord be glorified and his people made to be at peace through it.

That same week I had a big paper that was supposed to be due, but (in the Lord's grace) was postponed until Tuesday before Thanksgiving. I also had slating interviews for Alpha Delta Pi all day on Sunday and Baylor Youth Day for half the day on Saturday. AND on Saturday morning we filmed our Amazing Race application video.

Wow, this is the most disjointed post ever.

Anyway, the AR video turned out great. Soon we will post it here, but we aren't sure if we're allowed to post it on our website... we certainly don't want to be disqualified! (I think its OK, but we just want to be sure)

The ADPi slating and elections went fine, too, though it was a lot of hours in the chapter room! I am very proud of the chapter for the work they are doing to continuously improve.

Then on Tuesday (having turned in my paper at 1am on Monday night), I drove to San Antonio for a week with the Fergasons (pics soon). It was a great time. I got some homework done, played and read to kiddos, toured the Center for the Intrepid at Brooke Army Medical Center, watched a bunch of movies (Ratatouille, Amazing Grace, We are Marshall, The Nativity Story, to name a few!), and relaxed. It was wonderful.

That's it for now. More soon. Its getting dark and I'll have to bike home!
