OGN

During my time there, I couldn't help but notice a few unsaid, but still in place, rules.

1. You may not eat something healthy for lunch.
2. You shall remain uncomfortably cold during the entire worship/evening teaching.
3. You shall not get more than six hours of sleep.
4. It is required bring food to share with your roommate, also enormously unhealthy.
5. You must break at least one said rule, whether that's curfew or skating or what.
6. You must forget your book at least once at your dorm, and make a 20 minute round trip to go get it.
7. Dancing, jumping around, etc during worship is apparently not done until the last day.
8. You WILL be moved by God, possibly shoved or something.
9. You are required to stutter at least once when trying to start a conversation with someone on the beach.
10. 4th years may have more experience than 1st years, but they're still just as terrified of walking up to people.
11. Don't think about starting conversations with people. Just actually do it.
12. Devo time is not meant to be used for sleep. But it works pretty darn well for that purpose.
13. Don't drink soda for breakfast. You can do it, but it's kind of gross really.
14. You shall wait in a ten minute line for ice cream at least once.
15. Whenever walking to or from breakfast, or that general path during the daytime, stare at the ground and try to read as many names as possible.
16. If you spot a funny name, make sure to halt your friends who were in the middle of a conversation and call them over to laugh at the name.


I could write more but it's 10:15, I've been awake since 6:00 or so, and I still have to shower, so good night people, or good morning or whenever you read this.
