Seeing Red...
Thus today ends another Spirit Week. It's always amazing to me to see who chooses to dress up and in what they choose to dress. The Juniors class color is red, and rather than explain to everyone around me that I'm a third year graduate, I decided simply to join in the red fiasco. And it was a fiasco. While I too love an out of control hour or too, the "crazy chapel" today was by far one of the worst excuses of craziness I have ever endured. It felt like a Northland summer camp, complete with the warm air and the smell of a locker room. The cheers and even the support of the Northland faculty staff who just happened to be recruiting today and happened to be decked out in red....odd I know...only added to the camp like atmosphere. The only sad moment was when the junior class lost to the senior class, who jumped up and down to strains of "start the bus," or in this case, a cardboard vehicle similar to the one that made its glorious appearance two years ago. I have one thing to say about that--if it had air conditioning, I too would have started the bus....Aside from the Junior class color, I've been seeing red in a different aspect. I think I"m going to China. Not permanently like some brave souls, and not even for a yearly temporary basis, like others who too are braver than I. Instead, I'm looking at the five week plan in Chengdu. Now I'm not certain about it yet, but it just seems like the more I pray about it, the clearer it seems that this is what the Lord would have for me. Talk about using people in spite of themselves. O well, hope all ends up well, and Go Juniors-or something like that....
