so i'm here!! and well, i'm busy. its been a huge whirlwind since two mondays ago.
two mondays ago, i started the process of moving out of my apartment. it was long and very tiring. by friday when i finished cleaning i had lost like 20 pounds in sweat and plenty of hours of sleep. i turned in my key, went to classes, then headed to bham for my last weekend in town.
the weekend was really great. got to see and hang out with lovely people that i am missing already. after the weekend, i went back to auburn and took my exams.
monday night was really great. i had a little get together at toomers with friends from auburn and said goodbye. ginna and i went back to birmingham monday night around 10.
tuesday (last day in the dirty south) i had breakfast with my grandmother and sister. soooo good to see them before i left. lunch time had some awesome friends over to say bye and general freak out with. i just couldn't believe i was leaving.
around 4 went to the airport, cried a little with my mom, a lot with out. 545 hopped on a plane and headed out. there was a hurricane in houston, where my connecting flight was, so i saw some killer cloud forms and generally amazing things my beautiful Lord created. i got on another plane headed for san diego with a stop in phoenix. problem: here. phoenix was having some gnarley weather and we had to bypass it to go to tuscan and get gas. we went back to phoenix, saw some killer lightning storms, dropped people off, then finally headed to san diego. around about a 3 hour delay.
so getting into san diego at 1045 turning into 1. LAME!!
i got about 4 hours of sleep and then headed into a 9 hour day at work, in which i didn't know what i was doing. i've been catching up the whole two days. cool thing though: i went to lunch with jared white and adam finck. they are the mission coordinator and mission director for IC. awesome awesome guys. it was a group of four of us. totally personal and really fun.
last night i went to target and panera with a group of girls and it was soooo good. i really love all the interns, and there are some really great people here. last night i just settled, studied some material with the group, had a surprise visit from an old roadie, and hung out.
the house is HUGE and super crazy. i live in the loft. its an upstairs room for girls and its kinda open to the rest of the house. cool and really lame cause you can hear everything going on in the house. and its really hot. im working on getting a fan in there.
today was really good. i got to sit in on our first meeting with the IC staff- no roadies. it was really cool to see how it all goes down, and get to put in some thoughts. felt really awesome to work so closely with the beginning of great ideas.
then i started my job!! the actually thing that i, as an intern, get to do. and my regional manager said i was doing better than all the other interns!!
i am feeling really really good.
so just a fair warning so no ones feelings get hurt. I HAVE NO TIME!! when i get back to the house at 6ish, it is crazy until about 9 and by then its 11 there. so catching up and all will have to take place on the weekends.
i really just want to be here ya know? i don't want to take time away from this team to talk on the phone. my main focus is soaking all of this up.
nothing nothing nothing personal. i love all of you. know that.
gosh, can you believe it?!!?

Bah! I totally called you the other day and I realized you were probably running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I think you should be there, just like John said.
I miss you girl, call when you can - but only when you breath first? Like rest. You should rest. Man I sound like a mom.
Love you!
