This week was UCLA, another glorious Paul Mitchell (no sarcasm, I love those future professionals!!), Pepperdine, Biola, and I can't remember where else. I can't lie, I am NOT a fan of UCLA. Janet Ikpa killed it, and her IC team did fabulous, it was just the disengaged air of a lot of the students there that turned me off. I've never been rejected harder than while handing out fliers at UCLA. But Cord and Janet were stars, and the spoken word poetry that night was so cool; I've never experienced that before.
I didn't get to go to Pepperdine, because I was at UCLA, but Biola brought with it some phenomenals. Hannah, Andre, Ben, Ben (Darrel), (Real) Darrel, and of course the IC crew that came- Lisa, Rachel B, Kyle, and Jared, who spoke. It was fun to watch someone else do the talking at a screening and it was refreshing to be reminded that this isn't a routine but an urgent cry for justice. The Biola crew bought us breakfast burritos and we tagged EVERYTHING with Rescue stickers. Biola is going to do big things for The Rescue, just watch.
Tonight we were supposed to have a screening with Toms Shoes but it fell through so instead we got Sprinkles cupcakes and went to the Santa Monica pier. We played on the fitness beach and went to the little carnival. I'm no good at rigged carnie games, but i really wanted to go fishing! That's on the list to do with the next person that wants to take me. Just a warning, I can't take my own fish off my line. Tomorrow is the OC street team meeting and then Sunday is Easter!!! I can't wait, we're spending the morning with the Keesey's and the evening team/family bonding.
Soo the name of this post is summer, and this is why: I may be returning to IC this summer. I'm not sure if I'm going to, and then further I have to decide if I want to be a roadie (SUMMER CAMPS!!!!!) or an intern (permanent address, normal-ish life, not gaining 5 more pounds). Any and all comments on this are welcomed. I'm still internally thinking through this. Lots of decisions to make! I think I may have found an apartment in Chicago right next to a park and a Dunkin Donuts lol.
2 weeks til The Rescue!!!!!!!! Goodnight, and a very Happy Easter :)
