Preparation and Anticipation

I was at the Student Center from 3pm to 12am last night pretty much non-stop, there was a break for both Daily Mass and dinner at Rudy’s, but other than those breaks I was either doing my own preparation for tomorrow or helping others with their preparations. I am so pumped about this weekend, it is going to be awesome, without a doubt! I finished the box for my table, quite possibly the coolest looking one out of everyone’s, haha, right! Marcel’s talk over Temptation was a good one, he gave the same talk this summer during “The Pebble” but he had some new points added to it for those of us that were here over the summer. It was a normal break from the Theology of the Body talks because it was a small crowd due to RA preparations by other staffers, I just happened to have some free time for it. After Marcel’s talk and after dinner I helped Sadie, Angela, and Ashley with some “office” work so things would go quicker and the stress level would be alleviated a bit. I woke up this morning and went to Daily Mass at CTK because Mark said that we should do that and then get a little something for a little someone for a little special occassion, but the boy forgot to wake up, so I went all by myself to Mass, it’s cool though. Then 8:30am rolls around and I have an interview with a Store Manager for one of the Walgreen’s drug stores in Lubbock. It went quite well also, I was applying for a Retail Management Trainee position. He said I had several things going in my favor, a few being my excellent interviewing skills and the fact that I have already graduated and completely free to start a new job immediately after RA seeing as how my job at the BA just ended today. When the interview was done I went back to the office and I got a little going away treat, a really good chocolate cake with nuts on top and Pepsi, all at 9:30am, which totally rocks! So I gave Maria, my supervisor, my beloved office and elevator keys and said good-bye to the place of work that I had been at the longest, just over a year and a month. They told me I was welcome to come back anytime, so thats cool. Me and Annie just got back from doing some RA shopping and it’s going to be awesome when our kids arrive, I can’t wait, Annie got herself a girls cow costume at Wal-Mart and I’m gonna be a cowboy, super sweetness will be had. So the things left for today are the Table Staff skit practice and going out to the retreat site to help set up for the arrival of all the retreaters yesterday. God Bless You All and please keep RA #31 in your prayers as I won’t be back on this ’til at least Monday. Don’t forget the season finale for the CSA Devils men’s flag football game tonight at 11pm!
