DONE!

I'm so done!!!
My big final campaign presenation was yesterday and finished strongly! What a great feeling! Our client was impressed by the presenation and our campaign book (it cost $50 bucks to print!!!) - but just as we finished our presentation the lights flickered....we went outside to see black smoke rising only four blocks away. Helecopters were in the air, undercover police were driving to the scene, trucks with rescue boats were driving to 35W...so we ran over to check it out (plus we're journalism students who JUST finished school....now we're looking at real life event in front of us) and saw the horrific tragedy laid out before our eyes. It was like seeing something from 9/11 up close.
I could go into much more detail, but the history books will cover that in depth. My prayers go out to those who's lives have been affected by this incident.
Needless to say - I received almost 100 phone calls from family and friends (over the course of 12 hours) to make sure I was ok. It's good to know people care. Most of us in class use that road to leave school - so praise God our presentation was long and we avoided traveling.
After the presenation and after spending the next few hours on site with my friends/classmates (we're like family now with all that we've been through together), I went over to Karin's new place to check it out! She has a super awesome location - really close to Bethlehem Baptist. Her roomate is like super creative - with all the mugs/cups and bowls/plates being hand made by pottery machine! Wow! It was a fun time! I now have the rest of the summer to "relax" with Disney World coming up, Jake's wedding, some concerts (Shane & Shane, TFK, Downhere to name a few), and spending time with family and friends!
That's it for today!
Shalom
