Ok, today was my last full standard day here in the USA until after I get back from Brazil. I still had to go to class this morning and to a big group presentation. I think that went alright, at least we didn't mess up really big or anything. After that class I ended up going back to my room to have my quiet time, and also started the packing process a little more. While I was there I needed to finish wrapping presents for Britt, and Allie's "party" we were going to have for them tonight. I managed to get that all finished just in time to make it to my Aviation class on time. That class got out a little early so I just went to lunch early and relaxed for a bit. But the time soon came for me to head off to work for the last time before I left on my trip. It was actually a very normal day there today. I did end up having to help a customer that wanted to return something. Well we have a policy (written on all of our recepts) that there is a 15% restocking fee for returned items that aren't just exchanged. Well this customer got all upset about it and said he wouldn't accept that. Andy was gone at the time, so I couldn't ask if it would be alright to override the policy so I just had to stand by what we had. The worst part is.. the item he was returning was only $6 so he was making all this fuss over 90cents. Anyway he finally just took the $5.10 and left the store fairly upset. That added a nice little twist to the day I guess. Anyway, once we closed up I left the shop and went directly to pick up Britt and Allie to take them out to dinner for thier birthday party thing. Jonathan and Robert ended up meeting us at the restaraunt. We took them out to Olive Garden and I'm pretty sure they enjoyed themselves. After dinner we went back to thier house to hang out for a little bit so they could open the presents from me and Robert and Jonathan. (Thier birthdays are still a few days away, but I had to do it tonight or else I wouldn't be able to until after I got back). I ended up getting Brittany a Giant Guitar Pick and a new Flip/Camera/Cell Phone. She really liked her phone, but I wasn't quite sure what she thought of her Guitar Pick. It was pretty funny though. Then I ended up Getting Allie three bottles of my favorite purfume so she could keep one in her dorm and her car and her house so that way no matter where she is she will always be able to wear it. I told her she is not allowed to Skimp on it either, she has to use lots n lots!!! Then I also gave her my other gift, it was one I've been working on for quite a while now. I drew her seven different pictures of multiple Alley ways and then also a picture of herself. I will end up putting copies of them on my photos page later once I get back from my trip. She really seemed to like them though so that was really cool. Robert and Jonathan gave them thier gifts too, and then we just hung out for a little while at thier house. I had to leave and come back to campus a little early then everyone else though because I had to get some stuff taken care of for prayer leader things. We then had hall meeting and Prayer groups before I could work with finalizing packing up my suitcase. I think I am finally finished with it all now though. I can get to sleep and be ready to face the day tomorrow! I"m getting pretty excited. Tomorrow I will be leaving the country for the first time in my life. I'm headed out there to see what the Lord has for me and I"m sure he has a big plan all sketched out. But for now, first things first, I have to wake up and go to my last class tomorrow morning at 8:00. So I'll say good night, and just incase I don't get another chance, this may be my last blog post for a few days, keep me in your prayers and I'll be back at it again once I return.
