Shake Shack Finally, I had a Shack Burger for the first time in my life! I went to eat dinner with Allison Low today, and I think we picked a pretty good day. The weather wasn’t exactly the warmest, but that also meant a shorter line at the shack, yay for us! I feel likeContinueContinue reading “(49th) Day of Summer”

The Great ExpeditionDay one of VBC is over! The day turned out to be a lot more hectic than we originally thought. For reals, these kids have close to zero discipline. If I had my way, I would take each kid aside and discipline them like heck until they can learn to obey instructions, thenContinueContinue reading “(48th) Day of Summer”

Gear up & go! This day has been quite long and eventful. Doing some final touches and preparation for VBC this week made me really excited about the coming week. The only thing that sucks is that since we’re supposed to be in a more godly environment, I really have to keep the yelling toContinueContinue reading “(47th) Day of Summer”

Love is hereOur church softball team did pretty well considering. 1-1-1 record as opposed to last year’s 0-3. I’m proud of how far we’ve come, but at the same time there’s a lot more that could’ve gone differently if we just gave it a little bit more “umph”. Overall it was a good day, althoughContinueContinue reading “(46th) Day of Summer”

Find a job; check and done! Today officially concludes my working days at First Baptist Church’s Summer Day Camp. It’s crazy to think about how fast time has passed. From the long hours to the crazy ADD children, this whole experience has been really humbling for me. As someone whose pet peeve is punctuality, IContinueContinue reading “(45th) Day of Summer”

Batting cage After work today, a bunch of EM people went to a batting cage in Five Towns to get some last batting practice in before the Running Roots Tournament on Saturday. I haven’t been to a batting cage in such a long time, and I went into the fast-pitch cage. I guess it’s alsoContinueContinue reading “(44th) Day of Summer”

Three words. For the past couple of days now, a couple teachers and I have been going through day to day on this motto: Not my problem. I guess it’s a side effect of being sick too, but lately I haven’t really cared much about the “problems” we encounter. Work will be ending this week,ContinueContinue reading “(43rd) Day of Summer”

Pushing throughThroughout the day I kept running to the bathroom and running to get water cause my throat just wasn’t giving me a break. I really hate this part of being sick. VBC meeting took a lot longer than I anticipated, and since I left right after I came home, I am now stuck hereContinueContinue reading “(42nd) Day of Summer”

Sick day I went to bed last night hoping I could sleep away the feeling of being sick. Unfortunately that didn’t work so I took the day off to rest up. I think I kind of got a heat stroke from Saturday and then yesterday played the scrimmage in the rain, so do the math.ContinueContinue reading “(41st) Day of Summer”

Finally, victory! So QTEC’s softball team has officially won its second game, ever! Today we played a scrimmage against Newtown+Grace Church, and although there was a long delay and rain, and a lot of train-wreck innings, we finally won! It was only by one run though. Sometimes playing sports can really bring out the competitiveContinueContinue reading “(40th) Day of Summer”
