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.
