Preview Day

So preview day at Judson College is probably pretty much like preview day at any other college. A lot of high schoolers come with their parents, clog up the parking lots and the cafeteria, and give us students that have already gone through preview day an excuse to think that we're pretty cool because our parents aren't there and we already know where the bathrooms are. Chapel is always really good on preview day. We have the best worship team, a great song line up, and either a band or some kind of performance group, or a really awesome speaker. Today we had a speaker, and, as I said, he was awesome. He spoke on defeating the lies that satan (I never capitalize 'satan' because I figure being ungrammatically correct in reference to the devil is ok. Besides,he might think he was important if he saw his name capitalized, or if one of his little thugs reported it to him. Can't you just see it? The little creep would coming running up to him and go "mathta" - I always picture demons as having a slimy, slippery, type lisp that makes them sound kind of like the animated evil snakes in kid movies, anyway, he'd go - "thuuumody made you look pweety thweeeeet today. yeth indeeeeed, they capatalithed yow name and it looked gooWAIT!" No thank you, I don't want to make THAT scene take place.) always tells us. Things like 'oh you're too much of a wimp to actually beat this sin,' or 'there's no way you'll ever be good/strong/brave enough to stand against me, your just a measly little human." You know, stuff like that. Our speaker today was intelligent, passionate, funny, and when he was done I couldn't believe it was over so fast! (You know it's the shortest 30 minutes of my day when I'm not checking my watch every 5 minutes to see if the torture is almost over.) Yeah anyway. A lot of people knew him too, like, one of my friends was telling me that she used to live across the street from him, and another friend said that her friend Tim went to his youth group. And of course Alison Scott knew him because he was at Timber-lee with her all summer one year and yes, he even remembered the lowly Mandy B. (I gotta tell ya, nobody, but nobody, beats Giles Davis when it comes to remembering names. I never fail to be impressed.) Anyway, I guess my point was that all those students that come on preview day and think that the food is always that good and the bathrooms are always that crowded and the chapel is always that awesome are getting fooled. And my other point is that we should have preview day more often without inviting perspective students because then we get the parking spaces, the yummy food, the awesome chapel AND the shuttle bus without the crowds! Yeah. (Or maybe I should transfer to a school with more perks...) Just joking, I love my school.

Long live the Lemmings. Ciao.
