the day i'll be talking about (tuesday the 8th) was saweet. it was kinda cloudy and chilly, but eh what can ya do? we had morning worship and then some alone time to spend in the word before we met up to go to the university of california san diego (ucsd) to evangelize. that was a cool experience. lindsey and i were paired up and we ended up talking to 2 people. the first was a girl named christina and she was a total sweetheart! we did soularium w/her and went through the kgp booklet and she listened pretty well. she didn't necessarily pray to receive Christ right then, but i could definitely tell she was thinking about it differently than she had before. then we chatted with "that guy" (we couldn't remember his name) and he was pretty content where he was at in his life. lindsey and i just think that he'll need a bad experience or something of the sort to make him realize that he needs Christ in his life. but until then, we just don't think he's really searching for something more.
we could've had time to talk to more people, except ANGELA was following a silver van that we assumed was our group, only to wind up in the boonies with a van full of complete strangers!!!! ahhhh! so we had to gps our way back to where we were trying to go in the first place (ucsd). it used up a good hour of our time but we were laughing so hard it didn't even matter =] haha
however, on the way home, we got into more trouble. when we had arrived at ucsd, we paid for our parking which ran by 2 hour intervals. well, i convinced angela that we shouldn't pay for an extra 2 hours of parking since we'd be coming back to the car like 20 min after our parking pass would expire. i said i'd pay it if we actually got a ticket. bad idea. $50 ticket. oops. so now it's my responsibility to appeal it or pay it. i'm attempting an appeal so wish me luck! haha
after that neat experience, we met up with our small groups for bible study. twas good.
we finished the night with a trip to the park. played some ultimate frisbee, played a game w/rocks and jolly ranchers, was tackled by kelsey, assaulted by kelsey AND grant, then struck up a convo with a random lady at the bus stop while i waited for kelsey and angela and steph to get out of their little staff meeting so we could go to belmont and ride the roller coaster. the girl i was talking to was an artist and we just had a really good convo about life. i enjoyed it a lot actually. =]
after that, kelsey and grant and i skateboarded/longboarded to the rec center at the bay, cause there's this spot a little ways from the building where you can sit and just look out at the water and the lights and it's all quiet and peaceful. =] we chatted for a long time, then boarded back and chatted a bit more in the parking lot. i went up to my room around midnight and realized i didn't have a key. i didn't wanna wake my roomies, so i went all the way to the lobby building to get a new key. that turned into an adventure.
there was this weirdo (likely drugged up) guy that was demanding to get one more night in his same room bc he was "injured" and had to go to the hospital the next day. he also asked for a wheelchair, then made a big scene about sitting down in that wheelchair. after he spotted me, he immediately began to hit on me. he asked me to wheel him back to his room, he invited me to go hang out with him, he asked for my name.....etc. i was just like "nope, no way, absolutely not...etc." haha and then the best part is that he had a wooden flute there with him, so while the nice lady behind the desk (named marian) activated a key for me, he serenaded us with his horrid flutey music. the 2 ladies behind the desk and i were like "is this really happening? is this guy really playing a flute right now?" hahahaha soooo funny! then marian walked me back to my room so that she could make sure the creepo didn't try to follow me. she was SUCH a sweetheart!!!!!! so here's a shout out to the COOLEST hotel/resort lady ever! marian rulezzzz. ;]
hokay that's alllll for now. i'll tell about today's events tomorrow. that makes no sense if you don't read my blog every day. just read the labels if you wanna know what day this post is talking about. ok i'm done talking now. i'm delerioussss.....
