SATURDAY!!!! The day we were finally leaving and oh boy was I sad! Leann and I got up at six o’clock again to get ready together the last time till Christmas together!!! I was pretty bummed…We had decided the day before that all of us were going to meet at breakfast together, so we would be able to say g’bye to everyone. We all met to eat breakfast, but I didn’t really eat anything because I couldn’t stomach there food at 5.00 in the morning for Washington time even though it was 7.00 there. We finished breakfast then some of the kids had to leave to go to class, which left only a few people that weren’t supposed to leave that day with that kids that were supposed too. Everyone had a blast in those last few moments before we had to go pack up our luggage to go meet the bus at 9.45, chatting, playing around with each other till we recognized the time, and all of us girls headed to the dorms and the guys went to their dorms. Annie and I sat down actually at the dining common the day before actually because we were so tired and we didn’t visit a society because it was picture day for everyone. We sat there in the dining common and did small talk it was hilarious what we talked about but I cant talk about it on here….=| We were both so tired wow we were just crazy I think lol.
Leann and I went up to our room, and I finished packing then hauled all my luggage down to the first floor then wheeled them outside where the bus was parked. Some of the guys took my luggage, and that way I didn’t have to worry about it, and soon it was just Leann, Annie R, Davie M, David U, Neil, and I am not sure if Zach was there I don’t think he was. Annie and I were saying goodbye to Leann and I was hugging Neil goodbye when Annie and Leann started crying. I resolved I wasn’t going to cry till later, but alas my resolve was much weakened and I started crying with them, and David Ubben comes along and starts mocking Annie and she walks up to him and goes “SHUT UP DAVID UBBEN AND BE A GENTLEMAN!!!!” Which was hilarious! I wasn’t the only one ticked off and David that morning!!!!!!
We finally loaded up onto the bus, but Leann, Annie, and I were still crying, but when we got on the bus it got even worse. Annie chose the front seat to sit in, AND I HAVE NO CLUE WHY?!?!?! But anyways, we’re sitting there in the FRONT seat, and bawling our heads off, then the bus starts to pull out, and we looked at Leann as she just burst into tears when she waved goodbye, and me and Annie just followed suit. Wow 2 sobbing girls in the front seat…It was bad…! When we finally got a hold of ourselves which took a few moments!! We only had an occasional tear running down our cheek, but we hadn’t started talking yet because I knew if I tried to start talking I would cry again, which was something I didn’t want at the moment!!! Mr. Russell decides he needs to do roll call so he goes “Ariell Eneix?” and I go to answer and just burst into TEARS!!! Which he replies to “Yup she’s here!” and the whole bus starts laughing, which makes me start laughing so I am crying and laughing at the same time and am a HORRIBLE mess! Wow it was really sad! That day I could cry at the drop of a hat! It was really sad…I missed Leann and Neil alot… And we hadn’t even gotten to the airport yet!
We finally got to the airport and checked in, and got our tickets! I held my tickets, and didn’t lose them it was awesome! We needed to check in then go through security before 12.00pm which gave us around an hour and fifteen minutes to do nothing! Awesome! During that time I hung around with different kids in the group, went outside to look at the fountains, took pictures, threw pennies in the pool thingy and did other things. Then we needed to check in to customs and security and we went through that without a hitch EXCEPT I couldn’t find my ID….Bad….Bad, bad thing. I ended up searching through my bag billions of times and I couldn’t find it BUT thankfully around the quadrillionth time I found it!!!!!!!!! I WAS VERY HAPPY!!! Same with Mr. Russell I don’t know how many close heart attacks he almost had on the trip…..But I didn’t really want to ask him either…..
All of us had awhile, before we had to get on the plane so I pulled out my cards, and we tried to play Egyptian war. We took 4ever on the game it was crazy! David Ubben and I were been rude to each other and totlaly not getting along! Then during the whole game everyone kept on giving there cards to the people who were out and WOW it was crazy! But that’s ok we all had a lot of fun.
Melissa came up though and told us our plane was delayed and we weren’t going to be leaving instead at one thirty. Instead we wouldn’t leave till two fifteen which meant that we might miss out flight in Chicago because it was a forty minute delay which would have meant we would have been able to spend the night at the HILTON HOTEL YAY!!! But unfortunately we made it to the airport on time and didn’t have to worry about the hotel but that’s ok. Annie, David Ubben, Zach, Davie Mullins, Liz, Amy and I went to Wolfgang puck again for lunch then went and explored the airport, and found this really cool tunnel thing that had escalators that went straight instead of been stairs, and there were lights, with all this really cool stuff! It was great I really enjoyed it! Everybody else did too! Annie, Liz and I had a fun time just talking and playing around on them. While having Annie with me at BJU was a blast though we had a lot of fun hanging around when others weren’t present!
I wanted to show Annie some lotion though that was in my back pack that Davie was carrying he was being a gentleman again but I made sure I had his jacket so that way if anything happened to my backpack he wasn’t going to get his jacket back just in case if he was thinking about revenge involving the t-shirt. I brought out the lotion and showed it to Annie and she goes to show it to Davie and tells him to smell it so he does and just as he puts his face down she stuck his nose into the lotion and he got it allll over his face WOW he didn’t appreciate that very much at all so he went to the bathroom and washed it off and stuff but wow was it hilarious!
GRRR I got so mad at Davie earlier though there was this calculator that looked like a makeup compact I had seen at Clairs awhile back and I was telling Zach and Davie what was in it; blush, eye shadow, etc and Davie goes “WHOAH Ariell me and Zach don’t need to know the different types of makeup girls may have!” Which I went “you never know what if you end up marrying a wife who want you to buy her makeup for Christmas whatcha going to do then I wouldn’t mind if my husband knew makeup so he could buy me it for Christmas.” Then Davie goes “ohhh ok I had better tell David Ubben what his duties are before you and him get married so that way he knows what’s expected of him!” I felt like chasing him around the airport grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr that was soooo annoying! After it wasn’t supposed to be David Ubben and I it was David Ubben and Annie Robbins! This elderly gentleman came up to them after one of the flights because they were sitting together cozily in the seats and this guy goes “You both are such a cute couple I hope it lasts forever between you to!” Annie looked sooooo red it was hilarious and David just looked Stunned Oh my word it was sooo worth it to be there wow! I teased Annie about that so much that week and I still do! Lol! It was a definite Kodak moment! Too bad I missed it…
After that we needed to go on the plane for a four hour ride to Washington. The plane was HUGE it was awesome you had LEG room it was GREAT I loved it! We saw the movie batman begins with Christian bale which was pretty awesome he is very good looking to bad he doesn’t have character to match it…..We had a beautiful view on the way back and since we were so high up the outside of the plane froze which made the cabin really cool and perfect it was awesome! I ended up sitting next to Amy and I had a lot of fun talking with her about music and different stuff that she enjoys doing. I was also able to get to know a guy named Micah who lived in Everett which was really cool he seemed like and interesting guy. The one drawback though was the guy who was sitting next to me drank to much for the flight and got drunk and he was sitting next to me! That was pretty sad! Our flight ended and we were in Washington and I really wished we were in SC still I missed Leann and Neil so much!
We got to the baggage claim and got our baggage but I was still missing a piece of mine so I couldn’t leave yet and we were taking Annie and Davie home and while we waited we said goodbye and traded email address’s and promised each other we would email each other as soon as possible. I finally found my one piece of luggage that I was missing and it was lined up over away from the claim and had probably been there awhile so I went and got It but I forgot that Annie checked it in for me and it was on her ID not mine.
A guy comes up to me and you can see he works with the airplane agency and he asks for my ID and my first thought is NOOOO This Guy Has GOT to be kidding!!! But nope he wasn’t so I didn’t know where it was I didn’t think I would need it again after what happened in Chicago so I had just thrown it somewhere in my bad and forgotten about it. Well I couldn’t find it so I ended up dumping it all out and fishing for my ID. Mr. Russell is getting quite entertained with all of this too he is laughing a little bit then takes out his digital camera and starts taking pictures of me and he said that it will go on the one sight where the BJU pictures get to go!1 JOYOUS!! Everybody gets to see what I get to go through that day. I finally located my ID give it to the dude and he tells me this isn’t correct ma’m so I just groaned and he said this is for Annie Robbins and Annie goes “OH!’ ok here you go! So she gives it to him and we get the luggage and I am kicking myself allll the back to the parking lot! We loaded into the suburban and told my parents all about what happened and teased each other and had a great time then finally got home and crashed on my bed and slept really hard! That’s my BJU story!
Love you all hope to hear some kind of reply!!

BJU trip day 2 and 3
Well as I said before this that night me and Leann stayed up and talked till 1.30 in the morning which was awesome! We caught up on everything that we hadn’t talked about since she left because we were too busy or something to that effect. :D We had to get up at 6.00 in the morning so right when our cell phone/alarm clock rang we were both up really quickly because we weren’t supposed to wake up her roommates yet because they didn’t want to get up that early! We took our showers and went back into our room and Paige (Leann’s awesome roommate) Gets up and groans and starts saying “oh my word you guys just don’t shut up do you????” “First you talk till the ungodly hour of 1.30 in the morning and you never shut up then SIX o’clock in the morning comes around and yak, yak ,yak, yak WOW!!!” So anyways I guess Paige didn’t really appreciate me and Leann’s talking abilities lol.Paige was awesome though!
We went then to breakfast with a group of Leann’s friends and some of mine that had gone on the trip, and we went into the dining common and I had a bite of cereal for breakfast because we were supposed to meet our BIG Washington group later again for breakfast so me and Annie didn’t eat very much. Not very much happened at that time except I just met more people and got more confused with names and tried to understand why college food was so gross looking and probably gross tasting too. I think I lived on salad my whole time there which was gross I don’t know what BJU does there to your salad but its gross. If you want breakfast at BJU or lunch get Grab and Go. That stuff is usually A LOT better! But anyways we met our group from Washington, Florida, and I think there were some kids from Georgia which was awesome! Then everybody else went through grab and go and me and a few other kids just talked to our admissions counselor and watched everybody else eat.
Right after breakfast we all went to the dating parlor We found our counselor again and had a tour of the BJU campus which was AWESOME!! I wish some kids from Grace would have come it was awesome I had so much fun! After we had the tour of the campus we had to go to chapel where in front of like 7 billion people(jk it wasn’t that many) We had to stand up when everybody else was sitting down and they announced where we were from so that was mortifying but that’s ok….Sort of… :/ Then after chapel we had lunch then after lunch I went on a tour of Home linc I GOT TO MEET MR HARMON!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGG AWESOME!! Anyways he was my science teacher last year he is awesome! Or maybe I did that the next day wait I did that the next day I cant remember what I did that day lol anyways well we did a lot of stuff that day.
When I went to bed I was dead tired then the next day didn’t get up till 9.40. I totally missed breakfast which was ok, then all day hung around with Annie, Leann, Neil, David Ubben, Zach, and Davie Mullins. Anyways me and serge (my admissions counselor) with the rest of my group met at the snackshop that day to talk and brief over what had happened and stuff and he paid for all of the kids in his group to get free milkshakes which was great. Then a group of us went to the Art Gallery there and it was amazing I loved it! I don’t know how many of you all know this but BJU has the 2nd largest collection of paintings in the USA and wow they are amazing! Neil told us all the stuff that went along with the pictures and everyone that went had a great time it was awesome.
Then after that we went and met at dinner and then went to the soccer games and that was a lot of fun. I met this awesome girl named Brook from Florida and I found out she had never seen snow or mountains!!!!!!!!!! All of us Washingtonians were SHOCKED!!! It was amazing I had never known that some people had never seen mountains or something like that but anyways I was able to get her email and all that stuff and I am going to email her sometime when I am able to.
We all got in cars though to go off campus and I got stuck in the car with GUESS WHO……..DAVID UBBEN!!!!!!!!!! Out of 18 people I got stuck sitting next to him!!! But my brother Neil was driving and JJ was next to him so that was ok. I MESSED UP DAVIDS HAIR!!! HE WAS FURIOUS but haha it was awesome sooooo worth it. It ticked him soooooo bad because he still had to go in public that night lol. We planned on going to the river front but weren’t able too because there was a country thing going on and nobody could make it through to find a parking spot so that was annoying. We ended up going to a store grabbing ice cream bars and eating them in the parking lot and having a blast talking and taking pictures. We had to go back after a short time though because we had spent so much time looking for a parking spot that we were able to spend much time there but that was ok.
After that I got to my dorm and Davie Mullins called Leann but she was in prayer group so I answered and he couldn’t find Neil and stuff so he was wondering the last place where I saw him because he needed to go pick up Pastor Frank who was off campus at his work place and he couldn’t find him so I had to go on this wild goose chase on the BJU campus at lights out at about 11.30 at night and it turned out Neil was in prayer group and that’s why they couldn’t find him so I didn’t even need to go around the campus that late at night :D ….sad….sad….very sad… but anyways the night before was pretty funny also though because it was a game night. We played dodge ball and this milk jug game sorta like ultimate Frisbee but had nothing to do with a Frisbee so yah anyways. After it ended though me, Annie, David U, Davie M, Zach, and Brook we wandered around the campus just doing crazy stuff and walking around and talking which was great then the guys decided they wanted to go run around the campus. That night was my last night with Leann though so I was reallllly going to miss her and we stayed up late talking and got up really early the next morning which I will tell you about later bbye!!!!
We went then to breakfast with a group of Leann’s friends and some of mine that had gone on the trip, and we went into the dining common and I had a bite of cereal for breakfast because we were supposed to meet our BIG Washington group later again for breakfast so me and Annie didn’t eat very much.

BJU trip day one!
Hey you all! Wow you wouldn’t believe everything that has happened lately! On last Wednesday I went to South Carolina to visit Bob Jones University which was absolutely awesome! I ended up enjoying it very much. In fact I still wish that I was there right now.
I got picked up around 7.20am by Mr. Mullins and his son Davie and Annie Robbins. We were planning on getting to Sea-Tac by 8.30 and I think we ended up actually getting there at 9.15 or at least around that time. Traffic was pretty crazy and there were all these drivers that were cutting in front of Mr. Mullins and he said that they were most likely woman drivers because they were breaking the law and sure enough they were females. :/ Annie and I got a little offended at that but that’s ok. We ended up getting there thinking we were probably the last ones that needed to come but we ended up waiting for David Ubben who got there pretty much a half and hour later so it ended up we weren’t as late as we thought we were.
My day wasnt starting to well though….I hadn’t really had anything to eat yet that day, and I was really tired which was unusual because I had a lot of sleep that night. When we got there I realized though that I had a small pocketknife in my purse that I carry around, and I wouldn’t be able to carry it through customs. I ended up giving it to Mrs. Ubben hoping I would get it back later. As all of us lined up to go to customs we had to go through the N gates and I gave the ticket person my ID and my airline packet with my tickets that I THOUGHT were inside of it….He goes “Ummm ma’m your tickets aren’t here.” Which my response was “What?!?!? You have got to be kidding.” But nope he wasn’t kidding my tickets were gone. I walked back to Mr. Russell and told him what happened then went to go find my tickets. I back tracked where I had walked and everything and thankfully I found my tickets where I had been standing they must had somehow dropped out of my packet somehow. As I walked back thinking THANK THE LORD!! I got back in line and went through customs and got through that without a headache which was amazing.
Mr. Russell let us wander around the airport for about 40 minutes though because we didn’t need to load up into the plane for awhile. Zach, Davie, David, Annie, and I went to go check out the different stores which was fun:D
I ended up sitting next to a person that I didn’t know they were an older couple and I talked to the lady for awhile and found out she was from New York City and they were heading home to New York after vacationing in Washington for awhile. Then after talking awhile she decided to read her book and the in-flight movie came on called fantastic 4 which was pretty cool except for a few parts…I don’t think I would ever watch it again….Its one of those one time movies! :) We stopped at the O‘Hare or O’Hara airport (not sure which one it is) in Chicago Illinois. That airport is HUGE!! Its awesome I love it!
We ended up eating out lunch there around 2.00 in the afternoon. Most of us had pizza at a place called Wolfgang puck and it turned out to be really good Annie R really liked it. Annie R is awesome she is so much fun to hang around with I had so much fun with her at BJU. She is hilarious. We got back after eating lunch to get ready to board the plane again and Davie M was a gentleman again and carried my bag again which was awesome. I ended up giving Davie m my ticket also because I kept on losing it which was really pathetic Actually what really happened he didn’t give me any choice I either had to give him my ticket or it would be taken by force…So I gave him my ticket quickly! We boarded another plane to go to SC and this one was really small! I sat next to Amy Dibble and got to know her which was awesome she is fun to talk to! I also sat next to a guy who wanted to talk to me but was reallllly hard to understand him because he had a HUGE South Carolinian accent. It was really thick I had to ask him a few times to repeat some things he said which was embarrassing :/ I borrowed a book from a girl named Jana called The Tapestry which turned out to be pretty good I enjoyed it.
We got into SC around 10.15 at night so we all were sort of languid. We drove to BJU, and got there around 11.00. We went into this room where we were assembling where we were supposed to go, and what rooms we had, and what our schedule was for the rest of the week. Right as I walked in though my cell phone rang and it was just as every one sat down so everyone could tell, and that was embarrassing it turned out to be Leann and she was wondering where I was and when she was going to see me. I told her that I was on campus and that I would be there soon. After we figured everything out we got back on the bus and went to go to what girls dorm we were supposed to be at and I got off and got my luggage and David Ubben was actually nice and told me that he would take my luggage for me then Davie Mullins came over and told me he would take the rest of it so I didn’t have to take anything which was awesome. Annie Robbins walked over though and said “What???? Nobody will take MY luggage???” It was hilarious then she said “It’s because I am fat isn’t it???” Which I responded too“Whoah holy cow no your not! I am bigger than you by a lot!” and David Ubben goes “Oh yah your definitely bigger” So I turned around and just glared at him and said “THANKS” I got all my luggage and hauled it up to the 2nd floor in Margaret Mack room 212 where Leann was and didn’t even knock but burst into the room yelling LEANNN!!!! I scared her sooo bad she turned around and realized it was me though and went ARIELL!!! Then gave me a huge hug and then I met her roommates which was awesome I enjoyed her roommates so much there awesome. Leann’s roommate’s names are Paige, Anna, and Natalie they are adorable! We got ready for bed and then talked till 1.30 in the morning and caught up on everything that had happened lately. That morning we got up at 6.00 in the morning and began our day which I will write about more tomorrow.

Arthur W. PINK!!!
Hey you all! Well today was an interesting day. It didnt start out to well i slammed my fingers in the door then as i turned around i hit my foot really hard on the doorway and wow yah blonde moment majorally it realllllly hurt too. so anyways my day started out a little weird. I am almost finished with packing for my BJU trip and that is exiting the only problem is i have enough homework to drown a horse. But thats ok i will get through it i just will proboly have no social life for....The rest OF my LIFE....lol...well its not that bad but anyways....I was reading this Biblical book by a guy named Arthur W. Pink and it was quite awesome so i am going to put it on here
"The grace of God is proclaimed in the Gospel, which is to the self-rightious jew a "stumbling block" and to the conceited and philisopholizing Greek "foolishness". Why so? Because there is nothing whatever in it that is adapted to gratify the pride of man. It announced that unless we are saved by Grace we cannot be saved at all. It declared that apart from Christ the unspeakable Gift of God's Grace, the state of every man is desperate, irremediable, and hopeless. The gospel addresses men as guilty condemmed, perishing,criminals. It declares that the zelous proffesor with all his religious performances is no better than the most profane infidel.
The gospol comtemplates every descendant of adam as a fallen poluted hell deserving and helpless sinner the Grace which the gospol publishes is his only hope all stand before God convicted as trangressors of his hgoly law as guillt condemmed criminals awaiting not sentence but the exucution of sentence already passed them on."
Wow i thought that was amazing it has some hige words that i needed to look up in the dictionary but thats ok. Tomorrow i have Greek and a wedding i have to go to then more school!! yay!! but anyways hope to hear your comments! bye!
