CBS update

So I'm here in the sticks of Arkansas in what they call the "chorus room" with the din of spike ball in my ears.  It's a blessed off-Saturday in which dozens of youth bum around campus and find random activities to do...the gym we were planning to rent was canceled due to weather. weather. the enemy of recreation in this place.  It's been cold and icy and rainy since we got here... but this thing called weather actually almost kept us from getting here in the first place.  With inches of snow and ice on the roads, we were blessed to only land in the ditch once on our journey here, and even more blessed to have kind men stop to help un-stuck us from the roadside.  Poor little Walton (my car) couldn't make it in the 6-mile road to CBS... but he did go the first four miles in first gear.  We got towed the last two miles by an angelic truck we nick-named Gabe.  So yes, we made it here safely, and little by little I think I'm actually getting used to everything.  Things are not like I expected, and it's hard for me to believe that I'm here.  But I'm learning to have fun and love it here anyway.  Farewell, friends.
