"Hello, my name is Randi. I am CPR/First Aid certified. Can I help you?"

As of yesterday I am officially CPR/First Aid certified. If you are having a medical emergency or are unconscious call me so I can point at someone else and tell them to call 911 and then sit there and look like I'm doing something helpful. Just kidding. I really did learn much just hope to never use it.

The last week has been head counselor training for camp which means early mornings and feeling like bed at about 9. However, this week has been amazing. It's just a few of us and the full time staff and it's actually been really fun. Who knew learning about conflict, risk management and emergency drills could be so entertaining?...at times. We have one more week to go of training then the staff (including tresa and moss) show up and after a week of training for them campers arrive! I've gotta say I'm really excited. God has really shown me this week why he wants me back here. After last summer I wasn't that impressed. I wanted to go to RVR where there seemed to be passion behind what they preached. Without a long long story this week has changed all this. The program I was in last year is gonna change a lot this year and God has made it clear why he wanted me here, in a leadership position and what he wants from it. I'm so exited for this summer and yet completely terrified. It's gonna be a challenge but those usually wind up being the most exciting of experiences. This summer I'm giving it nothing I have and everything God has. I'm pumped.

Just to see ME smile...

below is the video that got me through exams. I just can't help but smile when I watch it (and I watch it frequently). They should really play it on TV more often. Anyway, I showed it to some friends last night and decided it was time to share it with the world (or at least the 3 people who read this) so that they may smile too.

Edit: BUT I cannot get the video up here without it destroying my entire page so you will have to be satisfied with the link. I apologize.

Sunshine here I come...

I can't believe it's almost over! My junior year of college is rapidly coming to end. It really doesn't feel like it should be ending just yet. I don't feel like we've been here all that long, but exams are next week and I'm sure not complaining about summertime being right around the corner. This year ending also means that I will soon be embarking on my senior year. I feel like college just started yesterday but in a year it will be over. Ridiculous! Freshmen year really wasn't that long ago, I swear. I must have blinked at some point and missed it.

The strangest thing about this year ending is the people leaving with it. This year's senior class is some of my greatest friends. It's not like I will never see them again , in fact I'm pretty sure I'll still see most of them pretty frequently, but they won't be here. I've never known SU without them. I can't even imagine what my apartment will be like next year or what's it's going to be like not to have the people that I turn to for advice and laughter only a few feet away. What will I do without Sheena's pretty face, people mistaking me for Jess, Matt banging on the door and bringing ridiculousness with him or Katie hitting on me. Granted, I'm excited for next year. I'm sure it will be FULL of laughs, goodtimes, and good friends; new experiences are always exciting. But these people have become my family. It won't be the same without them.
