Week 1

We have officially begun! Yesterday was registration day. It wasn't as stressful as I was expecting which was definitely a good thing! I also got to know some of the college reps a little bit better which is always a good thing! 

This week I am the customer service assist. I help the lead, Courtney, do whatever she needs help with plus some of my duties are answering many questions at The Hub which is set up outside the gym door. I get to talk students into having a dodgeball team for our tournaments along with basketball and ultimate frisbee. I also get to help the youth leaders with any problems that they have. Yesterday, I had a youth leader ask me if we could get her extra bedding because one of her girls forgot hers. I said that I will try. So I did some asking around and I got her some bedding and towels. When I delivered them to her, the leader was so excited! She had to know my name and she gave me a sucker. Lol. Then I got to chat with them a little bit and it was just a good conversation! Also during registration, I got to take our Ping and Pong mascots out. It was so funny the experience I had with them but I'm not aloud to share it until the end of the summer. Sorry guys! It could ruin some of the surprise!! 

I'm starting to absolutely love it. I'm starting to really understand why people love CIY! Today, I got my housing for next week done! That is like a huge wait is lifted off my shoulders! Now next week, I will start the process all over again. It will be good though. Hopefully. 

Today, I was in charge of putting on an elective. Electives are required for our students to go but they get to pick which elective they want out of the five. The one I did was a video called Becoming Sons & Daughters. CIY made it for last years Move event. Well anyway I was also watching it while trying to finish my housing and my cousin, Trachelle, was in the video! I was so excited! I wanted to yell out that's my cousin but I didn't. It was only for about 3 minutes of the movie but I felt like I was with her and back at home for a few minutes. It was great! 

I've been so busy the last several days that I haven't been able to blog any about my other days. Load in went very, very slow! It was pretty much just because it was our first one but oh my! It took us 2 days when it should have taken us 1. Friday, we had a 15 hour drive. Saturday, we had a 15 hour work day. Sunday, we did our own church service than got right back to work than Monday was registration day! Crazy week!!

Anyway, I'm about to do more work stuff so I will try to blog later this week sometime!

I'm having a blast so don't worry about me!
