First large group of the year!

Today has been the most stressful and funniest day ever. It all started with moving freshmen in this morning. Woke up at 7am so that freshmen wouldn't have to move themselves. Well, a group of us went to McConnell and realized that we had to check in at the front desk before helping. Only then did we realize that IV had to register online before today (I think for safety reasons). Anyway, Geoff is calling the interns trying to figure out what to do and we are sitting there hoping that we will have a reason for waking up so early. Finally, Rachel comes with a piece of paper saying we can move in freshmen. YAY! First problem of the day solved. So we are moving people in and pretty much every person that we move in lives on the third floor (and there's no elevators) so I got a huge workout with that. Then res life tells us that we have to wear the "welcome jacks" shirt that other people are wearing which means that we were wearing two shirts in the sun and we couldn't even show people what group we were with. I think the really reason is because our shirts are the same color as the res life shirts and they thought people might get confused. Whatever!
Anyway, after that we walked back up to north campus and decided to invite freshmen to lunch. At this point it was only me with two guys. We went to Sechrist and walked to the top floor. That's 8 floors! I would have taken the elevator but there was a huge line and probably by the time I got to the elevator they would be done. Therefore, I proved that I can climb 8 flights of stairs after moving in a ton of people. Well, we talked to a few people but nobody wanted to come to lunch so we went by ourselves. I was starving by this point which meant that walking into the hot spot was heaven! I didn't eat a lot of food but after wards my stomach was hurting (it's not used to eating that much).
By this time it's like almost 2. I had to go to Target and that place was jammed full of people. I'm not a fan of crowds so walking around in there was awful for me. I got my things (thankfully they were small) and got out. I ended up going and laying down in the grass for a little bit; I almost fell asleep. My old roommate was coming up today and I told her that I would help move her in but I had to be somewhere at 4:30. She finally got here at 3 and we quickly unloaded a lot of her things. It was so much fun hanging out with her and catching up.
By the time we almost finished I had to go. She gave me ride over to where the sound stuff for IV is located. She left and two other people came to help load up the sound stuff and take it over to the dub. We get there, start hauling things upstairs, and set up only to realize that we are missing a bag with important cables, great. So, Herbert and I drive back over to the Grahman's (where the sound stuff is) and look for it. Not having any luck we ask Steven about it and he doesn't either, we ended up borrowing cables from a church. While him and I were doing this, the other people on the worship team were suppose to be finishing the set up and doing a sound check but there was no noise when they did that; at this point we have 30 minutes left. We get back over there and realize that some of our cables aren't plugged in right and the one person who knows the right way wasn't there. We ended up calling 2 different before and spending the remainder of our time on it.
Finally, with only a minute left, we get everything working and do a quick sound check. We didn't have time to sync everyone together so I had to do that while we were worshipping (some thing that Herbert tells me is barely something that anyone can do). I'm stressed out worrying that it's not going to sound good but I did my best. Things get started and we realize that one of the mics isn't working. At this point, I couldn't stop laughing even though there was no point in laughing. I was laughing so hysterically that someone actually asked me if I was ok. I think I was going crazy.
So, the girl's who mic wasn't working ended up sharing with someone else so another problem gone. Larger group went smoothly, no problems and the talk was really great. I'm excited to see what happens this year. After IV they had a dance party and I really didn't want to be there. But, the sound stuff was being used so I had to be patient. Thankfully, half the stuff (the things we weren't using) was packed up and put away at the Grahman's. Then after a few nice stress relieving rounds of ninja (awesome game) I helped with the rest of the sound stuff. Here comes another fun part, Herbert's car isn't very big and we had some pretty big things with us. Trying to fit everything in there was like playing a mastery level of tetris. Finally, after moving things a million times and me laughing again, we get everything to fit (with me holding a sound board and Herbert not being able to see out his back window) and head over. We unload and move things that too heavy to be considered normal.
now I'm finally home and relaxed. I'm ready for bed but I wanted to first write about today before I forgot something. One more random thing, today it was decided that I am the wild card and I'm pretty happy about that. No one will know what I'm going to do next. Well, that's all. Good night everyone!
