Cheering up...

So yesterday, I hung out with my friend Faith and her cousin Becca. It really cheered me up a lot. I'm actually not missing my mom as much...which I guess is a good thing. Last night we had another cookout and then had an open mic night...(music night). It was pretty awesome! It made me forget all about missing my mom. Also, I got to really talk to a lot of people last night and it was neat getting to know them better.
So earlier today we listened to a couple of staff's testimonies and that was pretty awesome! Then my roommates and I sat in our beds and tried to read this book that's required for school. It's a good book, but really hard to get through so it was good that we read it out loud and altogether.
After that, I signed up to be on a sing team...that's right everyone...a sing team....it's like a worship team and you go around to different schools or churches and sing for them. We have a german speaker along so she can translate for us.
After that, my roommate Binkie and I practiced singing in our room because we're on the same sing team and we were just going over our group's songs. Oh, our groups name is Cross Eyed. It was actually my idea...because it was going to be my band's name if it ever worked out...and it didn't.
So, I think that's all I have to say for right now. I guess I'll update you more tomorrow after my hike in the ALPS!!!! :)

God Bless,
Jill<><

Hey Jill! I know how sad it can be to leave your parents the first time! When my mom and dad left me at college, I got pretty emotional! I remember trying to make myself busy, so I swept the floor. I cried the whole time. So I have this memory of me crying while sweeping, but I was able to forget in the company of new and great friends. So glad you are doing well and enjoying each opportunity you are given! You will always remember these fun times!
