another crazy friday night

another party night spent on primary duty... it's 1am and i just got greeted by a very drunk friend (male) on 1st floor while i was unlocking somebody's room so she could get in. wow. so... he is very friendly when he's drunk. i don't think he's ever been so excited to see me before. "leisha! oh my gawd! it's leisha! leisha, what are you DOing? how ARE you? *insert hug here*" yes... i was like... hmm... having a little fun tonight? it was sad to smell the alcohol on his breath-- considering he's 19, and he's in a big role model position for elementary education majors. i wish it wouldnt be so easy for minors to have access to all this alcohol; why can't people be more responsible and realize they're hurting others....... i am glad i am an ra though, even if i'm napping at 1am and somebody needs to be let into her room, and i run across drunk folk roaming the halls. i've sure been taught a lot this year... i no longer jump at judging those who drink; instead, i feel badly for them. and scared for them. the ambulance makes way too many visits to bv than is necessary on party nights.

on a diff. note-- happy big 5-0, dad!!! (ok, a few hours late, i know.)

got in a run on the treadmill earlier- did a little lifting- then sat out by the lighthouse, overlooking the beautiful icy lake for about 20 minutes in the cold. prayed and cried and prayed some more... sure needed that. then went to eat dinner- and ended up having a 2-hr convo w/ toni bossi (from st. louie); who would have thought? he sure helped me out a lot... although he does not believe in God, i know that God had that conversation planned out somehow... i sensed Him in a lot of it. (thank You, God!)

alright, time for a little nap, then rounds after 2......
