its been about 5 days, but it feelS like a life time. its becoming really strange to think about home and see myself there. i know that sounds slightly dramatic. but seriously, its hard to believe i was in alabama less than a week ago and that i haven't been doing this and being here for the past year.
but in other updates!! i love this place. i haven't even put my first week behind me yet and i have already experienced some amazing things.
thursday night: i walked around downtown san diego with a group. loved it and hated it. its a very touristy place in some spots and then in others its very trendy. there are a ton of restaurants and they are pretty pricey. but there is a great view of the bay from the top of the community center.
we have to take a trolley everywhere, which is kinda lame. it costs a little money, but if you feel like you need to go somewhere all the time, it costs you a lot.
friday: the best day ever. i'm gonna say that a lot cause i feel like my days are gonna get better and better. but seriously awesome day. we started off at work with a session with jason russell (founder and filmmaker, all around AMAZING guy). he basically shared his story, his love for the Lord and explained why he felt this organization was here because of Him. along with my kix and blueberries, it was perfect start to a day. i cried pretty much the whole time. so good.
then we had lunch break did some computer system work, and then it was back in the conference room for some tour training. after that jason came back in and showed us the new ACDC podcast that links jon chu (director of step up 2) to invisible children and jason. look for it on youtube. well then, he went ahead and introduced chu and chris, one of the dancers from the movie. if you've seen it, hes the tap dancer. so so so cool. jon talked for a while and then we had a danced battle between some of the roadies and jon, jason, and chris. sooooo funny. i think there will be videos soon.
we ate dinner at the office and then all went to the opening of jason's new musical, its called "alice." look up the trailor. it was awesome. it was a mixture of high school musical (the good parts) and alice in wonderland.
saturday: i got up had an awesome breakfast, then headed off to the beach. a group of girls and i went to find a coffee shop before hand cause our internet has been down at the house. then we met up with the rest of the group, laid out on the beach and swam a little. it was really fun. i got a little sun burned, but nothing too bad. i went and got ice cream with claire and her friends from school that drove down. it was really good to sit and talk without a huge group around. later on i played some truth or dare jenga and watch dumb and dumber with the house.
soooooo thats whats been going on. its really awesome. i expect it will only get better. i plan on making some calls today so hopefully ill talk to some of you.
hanging out with will tonight and going to church! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
