This Past Week

This past week has been very busy. I had major tests in Spanish, Ecology, and Math. This has been kind of frustrating, but the good thing is that I don't think I will have very many more tests between now and Spring Break, which is just a couple of weeks away.

One thing that has characterized this week is the cold weather. It has been in the teens all week long and we have had snow twice this week. On Tuesday one of my classes got cancelled because of the snow and then it has been snowing tonight. I am thankful for the weather that God provides us, but I am getting quite sick of this extremely cold weather and snow. It seems like we have had snow on the ground here the majority of the time since I got back from Christmas break. It is absolutely miserable walking around campus when it is this cold and there is this much snow. In addition to the FREEZING temperatures, it is also quite windy, which makes it even colder outside. I will be so glad when it gets warmer outside.

The other major thing that happened this week is that I had a summer job interview with a different camp called Camp Lakewood. It is located in Potosi, near the Ozarks. This is a completely separate camp from the one I mentioned in a previous post. This interview went extremely well. They basically said that they were going to check my references and if my references matched what I said about who I was then they would start talking to me about a contract. This is extremely exciting. Now, I am anxious to find out what is going to happen. If both of the camps offer me a job then I will have to make the hard decision of which one I should work at. I have been on the Internet doing some more research about these camps and they both sound like a lot of fun. Looking at pictures of children swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and playing games outside is making me crave Spring Break and Summer. I can't wait until Spring Break and ultimately I can't wait for summer. I am really excited about the opportunities that God seems to be giving me to minister to children. I hope that I end up getting one of these jobs because my dream job is working at a summer camp for children. I will keep you updated on things.

I am excited because tomorrow night I will be going to a sweetheart dinner that is being put on by the church that I am involved with here. I am excited because I will get to know the people at the church better. I haven't been going to this church for too long, so I don't know many of the people very well. I will also get to spend time with this women and her family that I stayed with a couple of weeks ago. It will be good to see her. I can't wait till tomorrow night.
