Sunday afternoon.

The weekends here are pretty lazy, but a super good time to catch up on sleep and course work. Friday night was pretty average and unentertaining....yet, I still went to bed at 2am. I crawled into bed HOPING to sleep through lunch :)

My wish was unfulfilled when my lovely roomate Vanessa reached down and impacted me with a pillow at quarter to 12 and insisted that I wake up "becuase there's chicken nuggets and french fries for lunch!" OOhhh my roommate...got to love her. Needless to say I crawled out of bed and a group of about 7 of us girls headed to lunch sporting sweat pants, bed head and sleepy eyes. Mmmmmm Saturdays!!

After lunch we headed to a local football game. This game was like no other football game I had ever seen! Sussex is pretty small and rugged, so they dont have a huge high school or amazing sports teams; in fact, this is their first year having a football team. In the first five minutes of the game the opposite team scored a touch down by running after a ball that had been kicked outside the goal posts. Amanda and I looked at eachother and busted out laughing; a touchdown out of bounds?! We then noticed the use of not just a 50 yard line, but also a 55. We sat next to a couple of ladies from the area who just laughed and laughed at our confusion. Im pretty sure we were more entertaining for them than the football game! There were many strange things about the game, but overall is was decently entertaining and eye opening for sure!

Sundays = church at Sussex Wesleyan and then cramming into a vehicle to get back to school for lunch! My friend Asheleigh (A fellow Michigan girl!) has a vehicle and usually drives Amanda Thompson, myself, Alyssa Loew and another girl to church. On the way home though we always manage to fit nearly 8 girls in her 5 passenger vehicle. It's a sight to see Im sure, and causes many good times!

After lunch is the Wesleyan hour. This concept is familiar to all I'm sure! A bunch of us girls pick a movie, grab our comforters and pillows and head to a lounge or common area and kick back. About 10 or 15 minutes into the movie not a single one of us is awake. We all tend to wake up for the end of the movie though! It's a good time to cuddle and be comfy before a long week of classes. I enjoy it immensely!!

Tonight is Encounter which is a weekly worship service. Nearly everyone goes, with the exception of last week when the African Children's Choir was in town. That was a fantastic concert! The church it took place in was uber little and lots of Bethany students filled it up! I love that culture and the kid's are so precious.

I'm going to try and update nearly everyday! I miss everyone and home so much! It will be good to be home in nearly 2 months. I've officially got all my travel plans worked out for coming home and should be home by December 15th. It's good to have friends in PA and girls from Michigan! Love and miss everyone. Have a great week :)
