"do the creep, ah!"

i don't feel much like writing out full paragraphs right now. i'm going with bullets.

• school is going really great. i like it a lot.
• my roomies & i are really getting to know each other. they're great. i started crying earlier & they all ran over & we talked it out.
• i am meeting some of THE best people. of course not as close to my heart as you are, but there's room.
• yesterday, courtney {roomie} & i went to the top of the tower & took creeper photos of everyone outside. she creeps like me. we're good friends. :) we told someone at dinner what we had been up to & her response was, "wow, you guys are really creepy." we converted some non-believers. our friend david thought it was weird until he tried it. people were soon posing for us in the library. it was good fun. i don't want to post them all because that would be weird...
• we have a coffeeeeeee break in the middle of morning lectures so i'm fully caffeinated all day!
• today was cleaning day. LOTS OF CLEANING. castle- spotless. my arms- sore. 
• it's hot here. like HOT. everyone's eating it up but i'm not a big fan. not that i mind a little sweat... wait. i really hate sweat. yeah. it's that hot. i didn't pack for this... toast-alicious.
• the other day at dinner, we were sitting with some guys who were telling us about how their friend made some disgusting concoction of food. they ate it & the friend had to clear the table for them. we thought that sounded great. so, they made a combination of bread {soaked in water} & mustard & jam & salt & pepper & marinara sauce & courtney ate it. they had to clean up our dishes the whole next day. we enjoyed that very much so we went for a second round. this time it was caitlyn & me. tomato soup with bread chunks & chicken & mustard & jam & i don't remember what else. apparently we didn't clarify the terms of the agreement, so they only cleaned up our dishes for that meal. it was still worth it. that was a long bullet point...
• there are 120 girls & 50 guys here. literally. lucky guys? poor guys? you can decide for yourself.
• i got to skype my family yesterday! i burst into tears when i heard my sweet daddy's voice. & then when i heard my momma's. it was so good to talk to them. :)
• our room is under the conference hall. we use our window as a door. 
• the roommates are going to start doing push-ups & sit-ups & taking walks together. every girl here is afraid of gaining a ton of weight. we've heard horror stories...
• i'm still accepting mail. & will be for the remainder of my time here. i don't think you know how exciting mail is.
• tonight was family group time. we just have a group of people that we meet with every week & hang out & play games. we had waffles.
• we're going to the lake district tomorrow. more creeping to follow.
• i need to go read my bible.
