I survived move in day...barely

Well, the worst is over, as far as people moving in that is! Yesterday was quite an adventure. Mine began at 6:30 AM, and ended at 2:30 AM. All of Burritt/Dallas (my dorm) staff met in the lounge at 7:45 so we could start unloading cars and shuffling girls to their rooms. I started out the day taking girls to their rooms, so that was nice because I got to meet some of the new freshmen. Then, at about 9, one of the male staff came to the lounge and said that the guys needed help moving in. So, myself and one other girl went down to help the guys carry their stuff to their rooms. While it would have been nice to stay with the girls since I'll be living with them all year, moving guys stuff in was much easier than girls due to the significant difference in the amount of stuff they have. If only girls could be as low maintenance as guys when it comes to dorm life...anyway...I spent the next 2.5 hours of my life carrying guys stuff up four flights of stairs (sometimes only 2 or 3, but all of the guys from 4th floor seemed to move in when I got down there), in no air conditioning. It was hot, and tiring, but I got rewarded with a peanut butter sandwich for lunch, so life was good. The rest of the day was pretty much a whirlwind. I spent it answering questions and making myself available in case the students, or parents, needed me, and also spent time getting ready to present the rules to the girls later that night. I had an awesome conversation with one of the girls on my floor last night. It was awesome to get a glimpse of her life and her heart. I'm just so excited for this year. My girls are incredible. They are getting along great already. I can't wait to see what God has in store for this year. Any prayers would be appreciated. I know I can't do this on my own. I'm already exhausted, but it is a good kind of exhaustion. Stay tuned for more snippets from the life and times of 1st Burritt West/Burritt Annex (that's my floor, in case you were wondering :)! )
