NSO

Okay, this was an infographic from twentyonehundred productions, InterVarsity's genius graphic and multimedia team. I meant to post it last month because it was rather appropriate, but go figure--everything seemed to get busy. 

But I'm here nearing the tail end of the first week of classes and waiting for my Seattle friends to get into town., so I thought I'd take a few moments to share what this first week of NSO of staff has been like, whether thoughts or actions or whatever comes to mind. And I'm putting them in bullet format because sometimes that's all I can muster when I am tired:

• Lunch at 3:30 pm. Dinner after 11 pm. My meal time is so confused. 
• "Okay, maybe I'll only dorm till 10 pm." Then I don't leave the res halls till 11:20 pm. Whoops...
• Was NSO as a student this crazy too? Or is it a staff thing?
• Proxe for three hours. Nap for 30 minutes. Try to do work. Too tired. Nap another 30 minutes. 
• Home-made cookies and brownies
• A plethora of awkwardness
• Creeping into a dorm room with no lights on: "Want a brownie?"
• "Have I met you before?" "Did I call you?" "Wait, did I just meet you?" "You look familiar." 
• "I'm looking forward to meeting you!" followed by, "Sorry! I remember meeting you now"
• All the times you see someone you met and you don't know whether to wave to them because they may not remember you
• Awkward conversation about who I am and what I'm doing there
• I live off campus. I actually graduated last December, but I'm leading with Nathan. And friends with Sarah and Christine. And working on campus. 

Brain Freeze is over. First LG is tomorrow. I need to plan Santa Cruz one of these days...
