It's only Tuesday, but Longwood Chi Alpha has been busy so far this week! I met with the student I'm co-leading a Bible study with this morning, then spent the afternoon working with Gil and Lindsay on office work and staff meeting. Gil and I went to pick up LUXA's new sweatshirts and t-shirts after staff meeting. We actually got them earlier than we thought we would; it usually takes the shirt place 2 weeks to have them ready. We took them back to the Banton's house and pulled them out to look at...they're awesome!! I'll put some pics of them up later if I can (the pictures have been giving me trouble lately). Lindsay designed flyer invitations for our costume party and I cutthem to hand out to students. Lindsay and I dressed the girls, Emma and Adison, up as Tinkerbell and a Dalmatian puppy and took them to the dinning hall to hand out the flyers. The girls had a great time dressing up and the students thought they were so cutest adorable! Adison has shoes that have squeekers in them (think rubber ducks) and the female students thought they were so adorable...I overheard one student say "Aww, she's barking!" We handed out all of the flyers we printed and didn't cover a fourth of the dinning hall. We have some students who have agreed to dress up and do the same thing throughout the week.
Our costume party plans are coming along pretty well. We kinda had a difficult start planning. I tried to reserve a room on campus, but was told the room we wanted was not appropriate for "glittery costumes and loud music." The glittery costumes I guess I can understand (this room is in a section of a building that was recently renovated and I can understand concerns that glitter may scratch the floor or get stuck in the carpet), but I don't understand the problem with the loud music. Really, how many college students do you know of that go to bed prior to 11pm on a weekend?? I sure don't know very many. Anyways, we were able to reserve the clubhouse at one of the Longwood-managed apartment complexes. I took our freshmen/transfer student decorating committee to the clubhouse Saturday so they could look at the available space and then to the Dollar Store and WalMart to buy decorating necessities. I'll post an update and let everyone know how our Costume Party goes.
And, to end on a very exciting note, we have our Spring Break Mission Trip destination confirmed!!!!!!!!!!! I can't say yet where we're going because we're not revealing our destination country to the students until next week. Once we tell them, I'll post it on here.
