BiggieKK's 2013 (January and February)

While looking back on my year, I figured a fun and interesting way would be to go back and look at my tweets from the year, and compile them into a few blog posts.  I figure I'll do 2 months a day this first week of the year, and a final post looking back to finish off the first week of the year.  Sounds fun, right?

-----------

January

- Though there were many difficulties in getting to Passion 2013 (one exploded tire, another flat, no dinner, and no rooms for us to stay in), we got there.  And did God change my attitude about a lot of things.  I learned more about the 27 million slaves that are still in the world, and in our country, today.  And I learned of God's beautiful planning and his perfect orchestration of events in this world.

- I had quite possibly the most quotable roommate of all time.  #AmberRoomieProbs  One day I will compile all of the things she said into a word document to keep forever.

- Crazy things always happened when Amber ( my roommate), Katie (my suitemate), and I hung out in our dorm room together.  Fun shenanigans an hilarity.  

- Watched the Golden Globes and fell over when three of my favorite actresses won awards.  Yeah Dame Maggie Smith, Anne Hathoway, and Jennifer Lawrence. 

- Amber and I began the tradition that if it is snowing and we are in Greensboro, we will both wear our matching footsie pjs.  

- Began the first of many nights in Club Jack (AKA the Jackson Library on  campus) Let the studying, procrastinating, and silly shenanigans begin!]

- Entered into an epic twitter rap battle with one of my friends.  Totally won. 

- Went to an interview weekend to interview for BeDoTell, Deep Impact, and Camp Mundo Vista.  So blessed to have the opportunity to get to know people from all of the different NCBCM organizations and to be able to interview for the chance to spend my summer working for the Lord's Glory.  

- Helped organize and participate in a Week of Prayer at UNCG through Cru.  It was such a blessing on so many of us.  

- Along with my friend Schuyler, he found out that when you flip the light switch in the library (surprise surprise) the lights on the whole floor go off.  

February

- Got a pet fish for our room, which promptly died a few days later. RIP Wishes the Fishes

- Watched the Quidditch Game... I mean the Super Bowl.  Flailed around during the halftime show.  BEYONCE.

- Was offered and accepted a position with Deep Impact to work the summer.  And my life would never be the same.  Also found out I would be spending a week out of my summer going to Cuba.  Began mentally preparing myself for what would be a life-changing experience.  

- More Club Jack adventures.  Overhearing songs and having hilariously quotable moments.  

- Wished my Daddy a happy birthday and got to talk to the family on skype.  No matter how old I get I will always be a Daddy's girl, Momma's princess, and Big Sissy.

- A great number of my friends decided to spend at least a little bit of their time going to Africa. 

- Came up with predictions for the future including the world being run by two of our friends as dictators and all of us trying to decide where we would all live.  It was also 3am and we were delirious.  

- Got to fill in at the Youth Handbell Festival in Greensboro and reunite with some of my favorite youths and adults.  It was amazing to be able to ring again and to see everyone.  

- Disappeared from social media to help raise awareness for the End It Movement and the 27 million slaves that exist in the world who don't have a face or a voice.

- Went to Maxie B's for the first time with my friend Sarah.  It is a delightfully delicious cake bakery a short drive away from campus.  It was another life-changing experience!  ^_^
