The Pursuit, Part VII by Leslie Wood


Hello again blog friends!

I can’t believe another month has come and gone?!? It won’t be long before we’re all packing up our dorm rooms and saying goodbye to our beloved friends to head home for 3 months of summer! I’m sure you are all looking forward to that! Only 21 days of class before finals. Can you believe that?!?!?

As I was thinking about this post and what I wanted to say I kept thinking about how this blog is supposed to show you how RAs and SLDs are normal students. The more I tried to come up with something creative for this post, the more my mind went blank. The truth is, just like every student on this campus, I feel like all my professors put papers and tests in the same week. I think they do it for fun, so they can stand back and laugh at us running around frantically scrambling to finish their assignments.

It’s weeks like this that I think we all wish the semester was over or that it was at least warm outside. This cold dreary weather makes everyone stir crazy!

Though I know we are all looking forward to this semester being over, next year has already begun! I’m sure if you’ve been to Jazzman’s anytime in the last month, you’ve noticed various interviews taking place. For the past 6 weeks OSL has been putting together their team of RAs, SLDs, and PLs for next year. It’s been fun to meet with a lot of amazing students and hear about the hearts they have for the students on this campus.

This past Tuesday night OSL hosted their annual Leadership Fair. All the RA’s and SLD’s for next year set up tables advertising their hall and all approved Prayer Leaders come and set up interviews. It was a lot of fun to see how everyone set up their table and what kind of free food was being offered. Everything from pancakes, to cookies, to cupcakes, and brownies, potential Prayer Leaders left with full stomachs and a few interviews set up as well. For those of you who missed it, trust me when I say that we have an incredible group of student leaders in place for next year. I’m excited about all that God will do next year through the halls on this campus.

As we look ahead to next year, we are still in this year. There is still much to be done this semester, so as I look ahead in excitement, I have to stay focused on this year.  I encourage you to do the same. As excited as some of you are about summer break coming, stay focused on this year and finish strong!!

Have such a good week blog readers!
