Birthday Weekend - Continued

I gave everyone a thorough tour of the campus, now that I actually know how to get around it myself, and then took them to the guys' JV soccer game. I know a guy on the team, and meant to get a picture with him, but didn't get a chance to. After that, we went back to my apartment and lounged around a bit, then went out to dinner at Outback!
This is a stone monument in the middle of the Quads (upperclassmen dorms) that commemorates the tornado of 2008 that destroyed most of the campus. They totally rebuilt most of it.
This is the clock tower. It survived the tornado. The buildings behind it didn't. They have been newly built since 2008.
My roomie and I at the JV guys' soccer game! There's another of Jacob and I, but it's not letting me post it. :(
This, my friends, is my birthday dessert! It was marvelously wonderful, and SO BIG.

Birthday Weekend at Union University!

So, mì mama came down to visit for the weekend for my birthday, and she brought the whole Ozinga clan with her! It was a big surprise, and really great to see everyone! :) I have some pictures to share with you people. So, here goes.
That was my expression when I saw that mom wasn't the ONLY one that came to visit me! It was a big surprise. Hence the obvious expression on my face. haha.

I had just discovered that ALL of my roommates were in on it, too.

So, they proceeded to present me with a cookie cake!

And an angry bird! (That's my roomie Brittany holding the angry bird on my shoulder. She is an awesome roomie. My other roomies are awesome, too, but I don't have pictures of them!
"Hello, my name is Sarah, and I'll be your tour guide for today!"
This is the building I live in, called Hurt 1.
This is a view of the staircase that leads up to our room. You can see the door on the far left.

College Life is Quite Hectic. But Awesome. :)

Aloha from Tennessee, my faithful readers! I've been here for a little over a month now, and it's been great. :) Alas, since I have been here, I have not been able to write much of anything, just one simple little poem that I shall post for you. I have also posted a picture that is of me standing in front of the fountain here at Union University! :)

Let Go

Open air
just beyond the wayward
desires,
protesting admittance to those
who cannot let go.
Open air
beckons irresistably, never
ceasing to promise
peace,
and yet always guarantees loss.
