And they're all back....

You know those scenes from Lord of the Rings where the armies of Mordor surge into Helms Deep?*

Okay take that magnitude, but instead of terrifying creatures of the underworld replace them with blond 115lb girls in bright pink shirts scurrying around downtown Auburn and you've got the picture.

Man this town is PACKED! I fear it will only get worse as school approaches. Incase you've never had the pleasure of visiting the loveliest village on the planes this place simply isn't meant for traffic especially girls in over-proportioned SUVs.

Regardless of the automobile congestion, Auburn hasn't changed. Granted they have begun more road construction right before the first day of class on key streets like College and Gay, but for the most part Auburn is just how I left it.

I've been spending my days sleeping in and hanging out late with the posse. Everyone is back in town and I can't tell you how much fun we've had playing Wii while laughing into the wee hours of the morning. Man it's good to be back in the JAR house! (Oh yes let me clarify - JAR stands for Jessica, Amber, and Rachael it's easier to abbreviate)

I'm about to venture out into the heat wave to seek my Biology Lab book and planning a quick route via bicycle across campus to make it to my classes on time. Pray that I don't get hit by a car because the likelihood of that happening is startlingly high. As a matter of fact, one of my classmates got hit by a car on her bike last semester. It was quite a nasty tumble, but she healed up rather nicely.

This week is our first devotional at the Auburn Christian Student Center. It's been quite an adjustment to get into the ACSC routine but I'm getting there. I hope to lead a small group this semester. Be praying about who they place me with! I have no idea what I just signed myself up for but it felt like it was time to take what I've learned this summer into ACTION. (For some reason I envisioned SuperMan music playing through that last sentence...)

Okay out into the lava-esque climate I go! As always, thanks for stopping by.

*Yes I made an LoT reference. I'm a dork with NO shame!
