Schoenstatt Camp

At a Schoenstatt camp that I was working in the kitchen for, many surprises happened.  Some were good, some were bad. These are my two favorites:

Catherine, Katie, and I were working on cookies and the dessert for the next meal. Catherine was the specific one working on the cookies, which were peanut butter blossoms. As Katie and I were dishing out cake, we hear from Catherine, "Sister Rita, is this too much for a half cup?"
"No, that's just about right. Wait, are you sure that's flour?" Sister Rita's concern was heard loud and clear.
"Yeah, it's the flour. See, this is the package I got it from."
"Catherine, could you read me the label for this bag?"
"Powered Sugar.......Shoot!!!" As it turns out, Catherine put in three cups of powered sugar instead of flour. As she examined the two bags, which were right next to each other, she loudly proclaimed "The fluffy one is NOT the flour!!!!"
Katie and I burst out laughing.

On the Tuesday that I was there, I was making frosting for the batch of cookies that we made earlier that morning. I heard the kitchen door open and immediately thought it was Catherine, who ran to our room to grab something she needed. To my surprise, I hear a male voice. It said, "Hello?" I turn around and couldn't believe my eyes. Will Sonnek was standing there, looking just a little confused. "Hey!" I nearly yelled (maybe I did, I was really excited to see him).
"Oh hey!"
"Sci-five!!"
"How are you?"
"Busy. You?"
"Busy. Hey, have you seen the sisters?"
"Scissors?" (Have I mentioned I have bad hearing?)
"No, sisters!"
"Oh, Sister Rita went into the village and Sisters Diane and Catherine are with the girls. Why?"
"I'm here delivering chicken and the service door is locked." This statement made me laugh, for reasons only people who read Will's blog would understand.
"Well, I don't know how to unlock the door."
*Katie walked in at this point.*
"I know how, meet me back there." Katie left with Will following, and I continued to work on the frosting. A few minutes later, Will comes back with the chicken.
"Do you know if any of your siblings are coming to Steubenville North?" I already knew he wasn't going, but I was wondering about his brother and sister.
"No idea, ask Katie." His reaction to my question was kind of funny. And Katie his sister, not Katie the helper at the camp. That was the extent of our conversation, as he had to go. But I never asked him one  important question: Was the freezer cold?

Project Inspired and Groundwire

I've recently hit a rough patch in my life. I won't go into all the details now, but once, on Facebook, I found an ad for the website Project Inspired. I didn't know what it was about, so I decided to check it out. After reading some of the articles, I decided to join as a member. I soon learned that there was a live chat. After talking for a while, I began to trust the girls on the website. After opening up to them about what was going on, I felt lighter. The girls there were so helpful in giving me advice and telling me that they would pray.

Not too long ago, the girls with Facebook created a group called the Circle of Friends. We chat and ask for prayer requests. We even have some guys who have joined us. After talking about what we do in hard situations, one girl (lets call her Kay) mentioned a website called Groundwire. I visited it and joined a one-on-one conversation with one of their spiritual coaches. He was sooooo helpful and I'm glad God lead me to both these websites.

Science Presentations

So, my Science teacher has allowed us three weeks to write a paper. That part was the easiest. But now she wants us to create a full-blown, greatly done, A+ poster over a weekend. Once again, very easy for me, but due to the fact that some of my group members are somewhat, erm, talkative, I was very reluctant about it. As it turns out, we present tomorrow, but we are NOT even CLOSE to ready. One of my partners couldn't find enough information on Mendeleev, father of the Periodic Table of Elements. We approached the teacher FIVE times, and each time she said that she would allow us to have an extension, to have this partner choose a new scientist, and that we would not present first. We even made her write it down.

SHE FORGOT!!!! She told us the last day we approached her that we should have came to her earlier. She said that we have until all the normal due dates to get this done, but she didn't give us the new scientist. So all of Christmas break, those of us who could worked on the project, but the afore-mentioned partner couldn't do anything. It was very frustrating and, to top it all off, we are the first group to present! So my Christian friends out there, pray that this partner can get everything done in time.

Halloween

Halloween is one of my favorite "exercises'. This year I had to take my little brother and sister around along with my best friend's siblings. Both of our sisters were dressed as Esmerelda from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. My little brother was the Hulk, and her's was a soldier. My friend had the best idea ever. She was an Airhead. It was actually funny to see people's reactions. One of my other friends was a Nerd, but a different kind than you may think. She glues Nerds candy to her shirt and wore it around. Another friend was a Kitty Kat, with Kit Kats glued to her shirt. Me? I wasn't going to dress up, but I decided on one that my mother made. I was Rennesance Royalty. Now, most people cringe when they have to take their siblings along for trick-or-treating. But this year I hit the jackpot!! One lady just about dumped the rest of her bowl into my bag becuase I was bringing my little brother and sister along. It was actually really fun this year!!!

Songs

I'm not quite sure how, but I recently became hooked on the song 'Dragostea Din Tei', or as it's known in American, 'Numa Numa'. I'm actually starting to like it, especially after I looked at some of the misheard/actual lyrics. Soooo, I decided to list all of the singers/songs that I like and why.

Country: Actually a genre, but I love all of them. I love them because of the meanings of the songs and trying to find a way that it's related to my life.

Free Falling by Tom Petty: I had to sign this song for American Sign Language class and I enjoyed it.

Anything on Z99: They have good beats (sorry it's general, I couldn't think of all of them).

I just realized it's a small list...........maybe I'll do books on a later day.

Sorry

Sorry I haven't been writing and that some of my post are, well, strange, but school has been busy. And, what did you expect? It is about random and bizarre things that I think of, dream, or that happens. If you don't like it, you can leave this page (there is no virus keeping you here.....). 

Hungry

Your stomach has grumbled before right? Well, I'm in the middle of a science test and my stomach makes the loudest one ever. Everyone heard it, but only one person looked. Well, we had an eye conversation about it, whcih lasted about 10 seconds. The funny thing about it? My Science class is right after lunch!
