In my first class this morning, Director of Uganda Studies Program (where I was last semester), Mark Bartels, came into my classroom. He made a short presentation on the study abroad program.
After class, I went to work. Ten minutes into work, Mark Bartels shows up, receiving a tour from Chad Frey, the director of the Agape Center.
After work I went to Boyer where Mark was conducting an info session for potential USP students.
I decided to get away from Mark for awhile, so I went to the Union to do some reading. I set down on a couch next to a group of students that did a different study abroad program in Uganda, as they were talking about their experiences. Then they invited me to an Invisible Children event going on. I refused, needing to get away from Uganda.
I moved to another couch and read about one page before Mark walked into the Union and invited me to eat with him. I accepted. Then USP alums in the central PA area met for two hours to have a reunion.
On the shuttle ride back home, Kristina and I talked about our study abroad in Uganda.
Uganda is a beautiful place with beautiful people and all, but I'm ready to start my schoolwork instead (it being 10:30 at night now).
Oh, and apparently a local church dropped the ball on scheduling volunteers for the Safe Harbor Shelter for the homeless this month, so now Messiah students have the opportunity to step it up this month and bless our local poor by spending our time at the new shelter facility.
