Another day, another bit of randomness. And lack of sleep.
I went to my CRV (Church Related Vocations) internship at GAIHN (Greenville Area Interfaith Hospitality Network) this afternoon, where homeless families are kept together and given shelter by churches as they are helped to find temporary housing, and played Monopoly with three of the kids there for 2 hours. Yes, I definitely had some strenuous work to do at my internship today..."Hey, kid, pass me $200, will ya? I just passed Go." Good times, definitely. And, as you might guess, I was loosing horribly to two eighth grade students when I finally had to give up and play something different with one of their younger, five year-old siblings - who couldn't yet do enough math to outwit me financially.
In other news, today was the 20th birthday for my good friend (and many a person's good friend) here at Furman, Kellie King. I had some late-night celebratory cake in her dorm room. Absolutely amazing. The Publix bakery rocks. Hard. To quote Kellie's roomate, Melissa McNair, on her noteworthy accomplishment: "Alright! Halfway to 40!!," which Kellie, as expected, responded to with a resounding laugh/sigh/groan/cry to God, in succession, at the situation. From everyone here on staff at IntheRye (essentially no one but me), kudos to Kellie on her magnificent achievement.
For now, this is it.
Music In Rotation: Five For Fighting, "The Battle For Everything" and U2 "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb."
