It is ever so nice just to sit down and be able to write something besides essays for numerous classes ( though I still have an enviromental science essay to do, but I really don't want to write about wolves right now). So let us talk ( well truly it is a one-sided conversation) about my weekend.
Thursday: At the very last minuate, I decided to go the Dave Barne's concert/Afterdark on campus to get my last CLW credit. I was ever so glad that I did. The Dave Barne's concert was ever so delight, but it was truly the speaker that touched me. Being at a baptist college, I am so very use to speakers(usually loud pastors) coming in and trying to make sure we are saved. If you know me, you know I am pretty cynical about the whole religon thing. I am not quite sure what this speaker (Joe White) did but I was deeply moved, I daresay by God. My heart was opened wide and it has been filled with God's presence, and really that is the only way I can explain. I just fill full, like nothing can possibly be wrong. I know this is just a beginning of a relationship, and it will only grow. It just seems that God has come at the right time.
Friday: So I am an intern for Flocasts.org-Flotrack more specifically where I write a weekly column on division II running. This weekend the NAIA indoor championships were being held in Johnson City, and my boss invited me to come do some play by play for them. So I spent 8 hours in the mini dome at ETSU, reading names and describing a races. I had great fun.
Saturday: I awoke to large white flakes of fluffiness falling from the sky, and then realized this what they must call snow. I got a morning run in at 7:30 ( it was cold but I am wimpy southern girl) and then debated going back to Johnson City. I ended up on the road by 10 and made it safely to the mini dome for some more play by play action. I was done by 4 and made it back to the dorm by 6. The rest of my night was pretty dull and consistin of doing study guides forever.
Sunday: I went to church, and had a hard time not laughing at the production the church put on. There is just something about skits, and huge musical productions that makes me feel further away from God. The pastor was very good though, and I still kinda confused at why he is at this church. I went to meet him afterwards, and he was super friendly. He was really excited to meet the whole group of us Carson Newman students and even sent food home with us. I am still trying to decide if I will go back after break. I got 6 miles in on the road, and it felt so good though I might skip listening to Josh Ritter, is music is just to pretty for running.
So that brings us to today, I am trying to figure out when I am leaving to go home, I think I am going to stay one more night and skip my classes tomorrow morning and leave early. I will be spending Spring Break in the Boro, and hopefully getting at my training. My first meet in the 27th and I am hoping to run around a 2:30 for my 800m. I think I am in good enough shape to do so.
