Monday marked the start
of our third, and last, preview. Our preview’s name is Lacey and I found out
she lives like an hour away from me! She was super awesome, asked lots of
questions and she and I had a lot in common. I really hope she gets accepted
into the next Joshua class! We even talked about hanging out sometime!
Tuesday I spent the
afternoon playing football down on the lower lawn with some Joshua students and
a couple preview students. At one point, Hedi and Bella tried to tackle me and
I ended up landing on my head and doing a summersault . I had an amazing bruise
on my forehead for a couple days. Thank God it was a bruise and not a
concussion! For girls night we had a ton
of fun doing a Paula Abdul workout video. It was great and super funny as some
of us are a bit more coordinated than others.
Wednesday night was spent
at the ice rink playing broom hockey for the last time this year. It was fun
playing with only Joshua students. Apparently I fall down a lot in broom
hockey, although I’ve never really noticed! But it was a lot of fun. Bummers
that it’s over.
Thursday we celebrated
Purim so all the girls dressed up like princesses and the boys dressed up in
crazy outfits. Everything from Frodo to mimes! I dressed up as an African
princess. We ate dinner and then changed into nice clothes to do a Passover
Seder. It’s like a really extensive and symbolic communion. I enjoyed it a lot
and want to do it over Easter break with my family!
So this weekend nobody
worked, so what did I do? I spent my time, like a good student, studying for
the 3 major tests I have coming up next week…. HAHA just kidding! Friday I
spent playing board games and trolling around on the computers for the most
part. Saturday was super awesome though. I slept in until 11. After lunch in
Pondy, I came back up and played a little dress up. I’m trying to figure out
different things to do with my hair now that it’s getting longer and I’m really
into ‘40’s rockabilly looks right now so I pinned my hair up. Having the whole
day to myself, I did my makeup and dressed the part too and did a little photo
shoot with Shiloh. Afterwards I changed to go down for dinner, but kept my hair
and makeup. When I got back to the building, I took it all off and changed into
hiking clothes. Then Stephen, Sara, Shelby, Morgan, and I hiked down to the
tree house (three story tree house with rope bridges to 2 different decks!) and
played Shadows Over Camelot, a super nerdy board game. We also played a round of
Magic, to teach Shelby how to play. It was such a great day!
Sunday was more of a lazy
day. I went to lunch and came up to my pause families house where I sat and
studied for 4 ½ hours (with a Facebook distraction every now and then). After
dinner, we went to church which was just worship and communion. It was a nice
change. Tomorrow kicks off the final week before break and ISRAEL!!!! I
seriously can’t believe it’s coming up so fast! This is ridiculous, I’ve been
in Joshua for nearly 7 months. Time is flying by and incredible speeds, but at
the same time this week isn’t going fast enough!
