     The perfect Saturday! Woke up and went to play sand volleyball at our courts! Who headed up the game you might ask? The astronomy professor of course. It's so great to actually be friends with the professors. We played one mixed match and then one match boys versus girls...we won...obviously. The afternoon was then spent reading away and at 2pm we loaded up in the vans and took off for Yosemite. We hiked Glacier Point (the same short hike I did last week with just the student leadership team) and once we got to the top...we took tons of pictures (coming soon!), ate sack dinners, and watched the sunset (again with that dang alpine glow! so gorgeous!) I see you, God. good work. We then took the windy road home and ever since then I have been doing attempting to read & do homework! In all reality, I ended up having some epic conversations! One with my roommates (boy talk! hehe), one with people in the meeting hall (we were sitting by the fire attempting to do homework but ended up talking & playing hangman instead!), and one with the beautiful Austin! She read me & Christy some of her poetry and it was amazing!
    Time to continue slaving away at homework! Have I mentioned how much I love it here? Everything about this place just makes me view life differently. It makes me want to write, dance, reflect, and so much more! I am reminded of things I love & cherish reminiscing on my past...there's just this overwhelming sense of peace & security that I know is a sign I am meant for here...I am supposed to be here...and big things are going to be the result of my doing so.
