Roommate:
Bailee is my roommate. She's the only one I have, but our ACL (Assistant Core Leader) is in the same apartment. She is the awesomest roomie ever! We get along really well. She's really funny, and if I don't survive OTI, it's because she made me die laughing.
Core Leader
Sharon is our CL. She's a lot of fun just to be around. I can't figure out who she reminds me of, but when I figure it out, you'll probably find out.
ACL:
Sam is our ACL. She lives in the same apartment as Bailee and me, but she's in a different room. Between her IHOPU classes and our OTI classes, we just about only see her at our core group meetings and house meetings (where our core group gets together in our apartment; our core group has two apartments, mine and the one across the hall).
Core group (#8):
The other girls in my core group are Meredith, Lindsey, Maria, Estefania, and Jenny. (There were two others who were supposed to be in with Bailee and me, but they didn't show up.) Meredith is by far the most enthusiastic of all of us. She really has a passion for God and a desire to grow. Lindsey has the most infectious smile I've ever seen. She's also adorable. Maria is probably the toughest. She's part Filipino and ran track in high school. Estefania and Jenny are international. Jenny is from England but she's originally German; I don't remember what country Estefania is from, but she's Latin American. I should probably also note that we're all 18 because they group us by age, and I'm the oldest.
Others I've hung out with:
Okay, first I should note that the girls all tend to clump together with their core groups, so it's really hard to meet new girls. That said, I am starting to get to know one, named Pamela, but I don't know her well yet. The guys are far more open to meeting new people, and Bailee, Maria, and I are all working on "breaking the wall" between guys and girls (aka, we're getting to know quite a few of the guys and trying to pull other girls into the mixed tables). The guys we've hung out with most are Gabe, Luke, and two Joshes (no idea if I pluralized that correctly or not). We call Gabe "Rabbi" because he has an awesome long, untrimmed beard. He just turned 25 yesterday. Luke is really hyper. If Bailee doesn't kill me, Luke will. The first Josh is really talkative and into psychology. The second is just sort of...there. He's really quiet. I've also had a few conversations with a guy named Peter. He gave me an Anthem Lights CD, so yeah, he's awesome.
And that's about it so far. I'll write about more people as I get to know them.
Bye everyone!
PS. Oh, and the family I stayed with my first night here, their son is one of the worship leaders. So it's kinda cool to be walking down the sidewalk and stop for a conversation with a worship leader.
PSS. And yes, I am starting to get a southern accent all ready.
