This past week was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. From Saturday to Tuesday we worked at the Georgia Dome at a huge Microsoft convention. We acted as greeters and ushers for the various sessions, and it was easy work for what we were paid. Even though we were fed all you can eat catered food, it was easy for some to get bad attitudes. Especially on a 18 hour shift! God really showed me his goodness through the experience. We got paid $14 an hour to raise money for our tuition, so Masters can keep running and charge us more than a thousand dollars less than what our tuition should be. A lot of students couldn't afford this place without these fundraisers, so why are we complaining over them? We should be glad! It's funny how God can change your whole perspective on things.


     Wednesday was our mid-week day off, as we got in late from the fundraiser the night before. Heather and I decided to go to the pool and swim for a few hours, then head to Sonic for half priced drinks. We went to oxygen that night to meet up with our kids, and hung out afterward with a bunch of other girls. One thing I've learned this year is that if you don't take care of yourself, you are no good to anyone. It is so true: you need days off!


     Thursday and Friday were "regular masters days". We had prayer, scripture studies tests, life lessons, lunch, and split off. What was not regular was the fact that Mike Rogers came in town Friday! Mike is a very successful business man on Jeanne's Youth Leaders Coach Board. He came in town to visit and just be around the Masters gang, which we all enjoy so much. We had a session where we could ask him anything, and I have pages of notes from it. Mike loves the rain, and he told us that it always rains when he leaves. Sure enough, its raining today- in the midst of a very sunny few weeks!


     Last night we had a girls only pool party. It was quite the sight! We just had fun, and it was so good for us all to hang out together; these are the memories I will remember. Four weeks from today, I will be moved out and on my way back home... it's crazy to think about!
