ok, now before one freaks out- let me explain the "might be illegal" part.
(1)there are a bunch of massive dirt piles near construction sites [but not gated off or have signs that say "hey kiddos- dont play on me"].
what do the guys like to do? run to the top of said hugh sand/dirt pile... hop on a sled [a round seat much like the lid to a trash can] and slide down. its harmless, really. but it might be frowned upon if the cops were to show up.
(2) there is a little game we like to call two liter tortion. basically, its exploding 2 liter bottles. its alot of fun. we do it in the name of art. and the name of science. this one is only a little risky, because you have to find an empty parking lot [with trash cans near by- because we ALWAYS clean up after ourselves. and the best parking lots are school parking lots. but if anyone even sees you near a school after 7pm, the cops get called in simple fear of vandalizing. so thats a little rough.
but its SO much funnn!
Life is really busy.
working two jobs and takin my summer class online.
*bonus note: maybe it's that i am only in one class, or that my text book is really that good- i have actually been reading my text book [like- the entire chapter] which doesnt always happen. we'll see how the semester pans out. yay for nat'l government.
My secretary job in the ativity center is alot of fun. I was a little skeptical at first, but once I got the hang of things, it seems to be alot of fun. I get to meet lots of people, and study a little bit while I am working.
Our first new student orientation went really well. 1 down, 4 to go. and actually, we might have 5 to go. We are having such large numbers apply that we are possibly going to have to create a 6th summer NSO to accomodate all the freshman applying to the [best] university [in the world].
what else...
OH! potluck on sundays!!
we have been going to a park in amarillo on sundays to eat with the hungry. the shelters are not open on sundays, so thats why we go then. We had a few more girls show up with food this past week, b/c of facebook and a flyer in Roasters [starbucks- but better and only in amarillo].
Its been really neat to get to meet with some of the homeless. They have some really awesome stories to share. one couple that we spoke with a few weeks ago said that they hitch hiked from amarillo to vegas to get married, and that they were on their way to the east coast, to meet the rest of his family. [disclaimer: no, i do not and will not hitch hike. no, i am not adopting this idea] i do think it would be cool to travel the united states for a while, but by means of my own vehicle.
thats all i have for now.
peace
love
