VBS Day 1

Hey everyone. Today was a pretty long day. It was the first day of Totus Tuus (which I'm still just calling VBS, a.k.a. Vacation Bible School) and overall, it went pretty well. I can already tell that the youth minister is glad that I'm volunteering and I think I've been making a good first impression with people. My main responsibility is the 20+ 2nd through 4th graders, which is certainly different from my normal Academy life. The kids are very rambunctious and I will admit that there was a point this afternoon where I thought "well, I'm ready to go home now" a couple hours ahead of schedule. Don't worry - I stayed the whole time. It was just a thought.

After VBS, I came back and was in my apartment for about a half-hour before class. Yay five-hour night class! The class was all student-led discussion panels and activities, so it was pretty fun. (I also made sure to start the night with the "I'm here, so I might as well enjoy my evening" mindset.) It was a little difficult to stay focused the whole time, especially with all of the presentations happening over ITV rather than in the actual room... but I made it through and spent the last part of my day talking with people and doing an article review for class.

Tomorrow will also be a long-ish day, but it will go VBS, SO Bowling, and then class assignments. Here's to reading chapters in the textbook quickly!

Talk to you later. DFTBA.
