ohhhhhh, this has gotta be the good life.

no one will ever understand the gravity of this statement: i love college.


honestly, things have been absolutely glorious since i've started going here. people are actually nice. 
no, really, i'm serious. people go out of their way to do nice things for each other, and it happens ALL the time.


because people are so nice, i've made some really great friends. they're pretty interesting people.
one of my favorite people on campus (next to my best friend Jessica) has been marie. she rewards me with juiceboxes and nutella sandwiches for finishing papers. she also enjoys melting crayons and singing disney songs. follow her on twitter, you won't regret it. link ----> here.


she's my suitemate, and makes life entirely more bearable. we like to leave each other notes with obscure movie quotes on them. she also shares my love for intensely strange music.


i've also met a lot of people through a team i'm on called L'aMet. for those of you wondering, that's a hebrew word meaning "to show the truth." basically, it's a drama group with a lot of athletics. the technical term is human video, but essentially there are no props in our presentation. we are the set, as well as the people in the stories. last year's routine involved the walls of Jericho coming down. therefore, to make walls, there are people standing on top of other people's shoulders, each with their arms out, to represent walls. 
we're working on a routine about the life of Jesus right now, and let me go ahead and say it's going to be awesome. for those of you who are friends with me on facebook, i have the schedule posted there.


oh, and update: marie just walked into my room to give me a juicebox. i didn't even have have to do anything for this one. :)


so anyway, life is great. friends are fantastic, and i love college. i'm still working on this enormous blog for my summer adventures, including my mission trip and beach trips. it's gonna be pretty lengthy, so it's taking awhile to narrow down my thoughts into something that makes any sense. my summer flew by so fast.


i know i didn't say a whole lot of stuff here, so i'll make up for it. here's a picture i just drew. it's a raccoon that represents how i felt this morning. it was cold, and you could not have pried that cup of hot tea from my chilled morning hands. no sir.
