Well, its a little late but now I am awake and should be able to tell you about all that I did yesterday. Well first of all, yesterday was the last day of offical classes for the semester. I was pretty happy about that. All I need to do now is study for my finals that I have next week. All of my classes were pretty normal which was a little weird considering it was the last day for all of them.. but they just taught a normal class. Our convocation was very cool though. They call it the Christmas Convo. Its like one of those liberty traditions every friday before the fall finals. Rather then have the real people like Jerry Falwell and the campus pastors and stuff come up and talk to us. They have imitators come out and do it. They dress up like them best they can, and they even have all the same quirks the real people do. They were pretty good. They even had some people come out dressed up like the LUPD (liberty police) and do some fun things like arrest random people in the audience. And they chased a guy on a bike and gave him parking tickets. By the end of the service he had about 100 yellow tickets taped to him. Then they just had a bunch of fun christmas songs and Charles Billingley came out in an elf suit and danced around. We even had a clay akain imposter come out. Thats just some of the stuff that happend.. but I barely even covered half of the stuff they did. It was just a lot of fun. After classes were over I headed to work and did the normal work routine there. We were actually kind of slow yesterday though, so we had to scrounge up stuff to do. Anyway once it was over things started to get really interesting. I headed to the church and help setup the place for our Dessert theater we were having that night. We setup some tables and I had to do some setup with the audio visual stuff. But soon people started pouring in. We had a really good turn out last night there. Some of my friends Jessica, Danielle, Brooke, Missy, & Jonathan showed up so that was good to see them. Allie's Dad and Step mom had even come up from North Carolina with her brothers to see the perfomace as well. John and Charlie came too and they both brought some friends. If I had to guess I would say about 100 people were there. So anyway, everybody hoarded the dessert tables and filled up thier plates. Once the lines died down and people began to sit down the show began. We started out with a Politically correct christmas poem, and then we had a story of an old lady without her family at christmas, After that we had two funny christmas songs but we had changed the lyrics to be comical. One of those songs was the 12 days of christmas sung by the children of our church. That was pretty cute to see. Our next few acts were improv acts. We had to pull a scene out of a hat and act it out while we had to abide by a few "rules" to make it funny. If you've ever seen "Who's Line is it Anyway" thats basicly what we were doing. That kind of stuff isn't easy but I think we all did quite well. Oh and I have one thing to say to Brittany if your reading this. "I Want some More!" =) .. And to Dennis... "I don't like miscletoe!" Sorry.. had to be there. After the improv we then did our readers theater skit. That is the one I've been practicing and working on for the past month or so. It was a story about Mary and Joseph and the christmas story. Allie and I played Mary and Joseph, while Brittany, Dennis, Dorothy, and Jody played other parts here and there through the different skits. I messed up like twice during them but I think everybody else did a great job. I guess my screw ups weren't too bad though. I told a few people and they had no idea what I was talking about. But that was really good and I had a great time last night just having some fun with Drama. After it was over I hung out at church for awhile and ate about 10 pounds of micselaneous desserts then played with the kids until most people had left. Afterwards I went over the Donneberg's for the rest of the evening. Allie's Dad and Step Mom was over there just visiting when I got there, so I got to spend a bit of time with them and got to know her brothers some. That was pretty cool. Once they left I just stayed for awhile and hung out there. Chuck hasn't been feeling to well lately though so the girls and I went out to get him some medicine and a get well present. After that I just stayed and talked for a bit, but I ended up falling asleep on the floor with Jake (who left me while I was sleeping..) After I had a pillow thrown at me I woke up and decided to just go back to campus and sleep, I was out cold a few seconds after laying down. Anyway.. thats that! I'll write more tonight.
