Tapanga!

Today was a long, crazy, good day. I woke up at 7:30 this morning feeling wide awake. I decided to take that as my body telling me to get up and go for a run. It had been over a week since I had gone so I figured as long as I was up before the heat of the day, that was probably a good plan. I was wet the second I stepped out my door...this humidity could be the death of me. I had no idea where to run or how to track my distance, (that's so much easier to do on country roads) so I just did a little circle. I don't know how long it was, but it definitely wasn't very long. I will have to work on finding good running paths.

At 1:30, we started orientation leader training. That is the reason that I am here a week before school starts; so I can be an orientation leader and so I can help with all of the activities this week since I am on the activities committee. We got done with training just in time to go to FHE, and I got done with FHE just in time to go to an activities committee meeting. I have pretty much been going all day. And, weird as this may sound, I love it! I don't love being super busy and having zero free time in general, but I love it when all of my time is filled with doing things that I enjoy. For a lot of people, these things might not sound enjoyable, but this is fun for me. I love being involved. I love being in charge and having important responsibilities. I love planning and putting together things, and being in the know about everything that is going on. I love being friends with some of the most important people at the school, and the amazing opportunities that come with that. Being on the activities committee and in the senate this year will definitely take up a lot of my time, but I am so excited for it. It's my happy place. I would love if I could have days like today every day rather than going to class and doing homework every day. That would be wonderful. Unfortunately, I don't get to pick one or the other. Starting next week, I will be doing both. Ugh. Things are going to get crazy. Talk to you in 8 months.

Just kidding.

P.S. I realize the title of this post doesn't make sense...you had to be there. Also I couldn't think of anything that related.
