Summit '08 - Getting There

So, last Wednesday, we left for Summit. The previous week I had been trying to make up all of my school work before I left, finish memorizing my flute solo, write my outline for my dance, and choreograph my dance. (What was that about me not procrastinating???) Yes, I ended up procrastinating... But I had been trying to get everything done. It's just that our printer wouldn't work, my teachers didn't have the assignments to give me yet, and I hadn't been able to think of anything good to do for my dance. Anyway, the day we left, I got to school an hour and a half early to do make up work and then right before I drove home, I took a quiz. Another thing is that I had been planning on not missing any of the day Wednesday, but I found out Monday night what time we were leaving.

I get home from school and have 15 minutes to pack before Shaney arrives to take me to Grace... oh, I also have to eat something for lunch in this 15 minute time period. I get most of my stuff packed and was going to check to make sure I had the right CD, but Shaney arrives and I have to leave. We get up to Grace and leave for our 21-hour bus ride to Jacksonville. I had already had a long day, but it wasn't over yet. On the way to Jacksonville, on Wednesday afternoon, I watch Phantom of the Opera for the first time (and it was really good), and went to bed at an earlier time. I also had a really good conversation about God's will with Shaney, one of my best friends, which was awesome!! When we were trying to get some sleep, at first we (Shaney and I) tried to sleep on the seats, but after a few attempts, I realize that I wasn't going to get the sleep I needed if I kept on trying to sleep in an single seat and tried to sleep on the floor. I scrunched up between two seats and was able to get some much needed rest. At one of the stops, Altobelli was trying to count us to make sure that everyone was on the bus and he kept on forgetting to count me, even though I was laying right at his feet.

On Thursday, I was able to write out one copy of my solo and do some studying (finally finish memorizing Bible Summaries!!) for Summit. I had really needed to get both of these done and was glad when I finished with them.

I'm sure there are more things I could write about that happened, but that's all I remember for right now... at least of the trip there...
