Sting like a bee




Busy, busy, busy. This weekend has been one of the busiest in my life. After class friday morning I was given some time to just chill before my first shift as a server here at the Conference center, little did I know that was going to be my last time "Just Chillin' " all weekend. Being a server is said to be the most stressful job on campus, I can assure you that though that might not be true, the serving department does come with certain Stress. This includes waking up early to serve Happy "retreaters" (guests visiting the conference center) their breakfast, and continues for the rest of the meals all weekend. We are given an average of two hours between each meal as a break, however this time was always spent in studying and schoolwork for me. Quitting time came around at 3 o'clock monday afternoon, ...finally. The great thing about this as a duty is that we are only on every other weekend (due to the excess of hours put in). I will enjoy this. 

Well, as way of celebration I went to the beach with friends Jesse, Chris, Devan, Kayla and Megan. Needless to say, after taking some pictures and laying in the sun and sand, I  was refreshed.   Right now, I am enjoying attempting to study and writing this blog instead, all inside the coffee-shop here on campus referred to as "the overflowing cup". I am also stealing sips from my new friend CHLOE! Who is a fellow server. Well, I hope you enjoy looking at some pictures and reading a little about my recent past.

Mat! That's awesome that you're a server at the conference center. It seems like a good fit. I'm sure Bible College will be a blast. Fun Times.
