I am still alive!

Life is super busy and chaotic ! I am 100% ready to be a staffer . My brain has been going crazy- 4 abortion sessions and last night the slid show about the horrible tragedies in Africa. Google "Blood diamonds" and you will see a small reality of a life in Africa for a child. I am pretty sure I will never want a diamond. ever.  
There are so many things I should be writing on here......but I don't have the time or energy! 
Adding to the fact that I am already sleep deprived.....last night we had a "Staff Auction" . Which is when all the staff  volunteer their special services  for the students to bid on , to raise money for Africa. Super neat project. Some of the services are:   Movie Minutes ( a professional 4 min movie of you), Pillow Talk ( You get to be lulled to sleep by Eric's fabulous voice reading you bedtime stories) , Room check Relaxer ( You get passed over room check and get a Starbuck's instead) , Man Panel ( girls get to ask any questions to a panel of 5 staff guys anything you want)  Woman panel ( guys get to ask a panel of girl staff any questions you want), Photo shoot ( taken downtown with professional photographer, makeup artist and poser)  Kitchen Treats ( fresh smoothies and scones ).Then there is Night Watch(who actually sleep during the day and patrol Summit from 10 pm-7am)......which means you get to stay up as long as you want with the night watch,watching out for Hippies,bears and coons, eating awesome food and watching movies! There were a number of other things that got auctioned off as well. 
My group won the Night Watch All-nighter and  my other group won the photo shoot! So, seriously we get a private photo shoot downtown with 1.Prof photographer 2. Make up artist, and 3. A fashion/movie poser on Friday and them I get to stay up all night!! 
Moral of the story, we raised $3,382 for Sudan!! So over the summer thousands of $$$$$ are raised. At on of the last sessions they raised over $4,000 .   
Now for today. I have passed everything I needed to, to be an excellence student!! I'm so happy about that. As far as the sessions I take notes but don't absorb anything into my brain right now. I can only handle so much, plus I will have the opportunity  to hear every session again later. 
We had an awesome afternoon/evening at the park! I was thrilled to get out and move!!!!!It was a beautiful day with lots of volleyball.
People back at home- I hope you and  all of your homes  survive the flood. If they don't I strongly advise you move here to Colorado. Summit have a vision of expanding to reach more lives.......come and join us! Warning- I am getting addicted to this place!  But.... I think about you and REALLY miss my family <3 molly!
