Student Leadership Training and the like

I am all moved in to my dorm room. Everything has assumed a similar location as last year, with the addition of a kickin' keyboard.
It's good to be back. Really good. We've been kept pretty busy. Our meetings and activities start at 7:30am and end around 10pm everyday. It's been really good. My team ,which is made up of 4 Resident assistants and they're prayer leaders, is really fun. We've been bonding and coming up with inside jokes and all that jazz (complete with flutes). It's been challenging physically, mentally, and spiritually, but mostly physically. All of our activities remind me of forgotten childhood activities and talents, like capture the flag and flag football. The schedule doesn't allow for a lot of down time but doesn't look like it will slow down much as we plan for orientation and prepare for new students.
We had our last game last night, a crazy relay race complete with chocolate, milk, water, and soap, and today will transition into planning orientation.
athletes move in Wednesday and all new students come Friday. Pray for us! We're going to have the largest group of new students the college has ever had. The record was 252 and we're looking like we'll have 260 new students! CRAZY! Last year we only had 150-ish.
I think it is going to be a crazy and amazing year, or if you like to combine words to make new words, cramazing.
