Good Week at GC!

Hi everyone! Well this week was an interesting. I tried my hardest to be very productive and get all of my homework done so that on the weekend I can just relax and hangout. It all worked out. On Thursday, I had a Bishops Scholars meeting. The Bishop Scholars Program allows select students the honor of carrying on the tradition of Bishop Alumni and keeping the legacy of Bishop College alive.
The Program became a reality by Georgetown College adopting 7,000 Bishop College alumni of the now closed Bishop College of Dallas, Texas, a noted historically black college until 1988.
The partnership between Georgetown College and Bishop College allows Bishop Alumni legacies to obtain a first-class liberal arts education and be recognized as a Bishop Legacy Scholar or Bishop Scholar.
When I first meet people it takes me a few weeks to get use to them. I would say this was the week that I got use to the Bishop Scholars here on campus. On Friday, Zac, Big John and Shawn went home and they are basically my ‘hangout’ friends so I had to improvise on what to do that night. I worked at The Rec (which is the easiest job on campus). Then I went to go check out the battle of the bands on campus, and I saw one of my RAs (Resident Assistants), Cameron. He loves to play basketball, so we went back to The Rec and played. I haven’t played basketball in like 2 months, so of course I wasn’t any good. Good thing we didn’t keep score. So by this time its midnight, and he was like, “you want to go to Hongs at 2AM” I was like, "Sure, why not. I’m not tired or anything." So at 2AM, Cameron, Eddie, Philip, and I went to Hongs for some donuts. It was great! Nothing like eating donuts when you’re half asleep. Cody and I also attempted to go to Lexington at about 5:30 but we didn’t think through the traffic situation. That was an epic failure on our part.
I woke up at about 12:00 on Saturday and my first words were, “HONGS!” which was still really good. I watched college football, basically for the entire day and talked to some friends from back home. That was very exciting. I was kind of mad that my LSU lost, but it’s okay. We will bounce back and win the SEC Championship and the National Championship!! On the bright side GC won, keeping our playoff hopes alive!!
Let’s go GC!
On Sunday, my plan was to go to Georgetown Baptist Church down the street from campus, but there was some Bishop Scholars outside of The Grille going to a church in Bracktown, KY called First Baptist Church of Bracktown, so I was like "Yeah sure why not." I had an awesome time at that church plus they fed us some good food. Got to love being a college student. Everyone wants to feed you. I think I’m going to go back there next Sunday, not just because of the food but also the church service was awesome to. When I got back from church, I realized my Saints were losing to the Cleveland Browns. I was just like "Are you kidding me! They are like the worse team in the NFL!" Of course we lost. It is indeed a sad day in WHO DAT? Nation, but don’t worry we will bounce back from that. It’s all gravy. I was really excited to see Grant, Big John, and Shawn back late yesterday. I went to the JV basketball game here on campus. It was a pretty good game. Then I just chilled for the rest of the day. I was pretty tired so I couldn’t go to Applebee’s with my FFG family. FFG, Freshman Family Groups, are one of the easiest and most common ways freshmen or new students can get involved on campus. FFG will consist of 12 small groups made up of freshmen or 1st year students. Each group is led by an upper class male and female. The group meets to have Bible studies, provide support & encouragement to one another, eat together, and do other fun activities together. I totally recommend this to you once you arrive on campus. It's a great way to meet even more people here on campus. So I tried to go to bed at like 11, because like I said, I was incredibly tired. It didn’t work out because certain people love playing there music at that time. So I went to go watch movies in tiger den (basement) of Knight Hall (freshmen girls dorm) with some friends until like 3. Then I finally got to go to sleep, I was very happy then.
And that’s how this week went for me here at Georgetown. Since 3 of my 5 classes were cancelled today I’m going to go get homework done that’s due tomorrow and Wednesday and then nap until 4:00 which is my next class!
Go Tigers!

Awesome Week!

Oh where do I begin, Homecoming at Georgetown is very exciting from Songfest to the football game and then to the homecoming dances the different fraternities and other organizations host every year.

On Thursday, we had Songfest dress rehearsal which was absolutely funny. If you decide to come to Georgetown, definitely go to the dress rehearsal, that's when all of the students go and the fraternities, sororities, and residence halls have the most fun. That was the only time that I could go and see it live because I was apart of Songfest for my residence hall, which for the third year in a row Anderson won an award! Even though homecoming is really exciting its also kind of hectic on campus to, but sometime hectic is good. On Friday, was actually Songfest an it was even better on Friday, the coolest thing that I saw was at the end of Songfest seeing all of the Greek organizations doing there Circle ups in front of the chapel that was really cool.

On Saturday, we had the football game, which was very exciting, during the first half it was kind of shaky, but gtown pulled through once again, it was a really good game. We are 4-2 now, I hope we make it to the playoffs this year, that would be really fun. So after the game, I went back to campus and had dinner with some friends then I chilled until the PHA's homecoming dance. The dance was awesome, I haven't danced like that in a long time, it was a good way to end a pretty hectic week to, got to hang with some friends and meet some new people also.

On Sunday, I preached at a church in Midway, I was really nervous that it wouldn't go well, because my laptop crashed on Friday with my full sermon on it, so I had to rewrite the entire thing in the short amount of time I had because of homecoming activities. I had like 15 friends there to support me, which was very awesome. I was very thankful for them being there and supporting me. Being so far from home, it's really awesome to have so many friends that I haven't been homesick yet. If you decide to come to GC, trust me you will make tons of friends, it's such a small campus that everybody knows you, just like a family.

Well its time to get back to some homework!

Awesome Fall Break!!!!

Hey Guys!!

So where do I begin, after classes on Wednesday, I just hung out with friends forever, even though I was tired on Thursday. I really didn't care because it was fall break, and I was going to have an awesome time. On Thursday around 2:00 we left for the GC vs. Campbellsville game, which we won obviously!

Lets go GC!

After leaving there, was the beginning of my Fall Break Road Trip 2010!! It started in Bowling Green. On the way there we laughed our butts off because we were that tired and basically everything was funny. Once we got to Bowling Green, we crashed at Zac's house. That was pretty awesome! All of us slept on couches. Apparently in the middle of the night Zac talks in his sleep. He kept saying jellybeans. When I found that out I couldn't stop laughing at all. We woke up the next day and I still was tired. I couldn't even turn on the shower. I felt like a dummy going back into the room like, "Zac how do you turn on the shower?", embarrassing. So after we got dressed, we went to Cracker Barrel with Zac's family. His mom is so funny! I see where Zac gets his sense of humor, and of course the guys had to bring up that I was a vegetarian again and that it was because of a girl (which it is not by the way). Zac's mom believed them, plus she kept calling this one guy named Rashad, T-Rod! So after all of that we just chilled in Bowling Green for the rest of the day, hitting up the mall and this really good Japanese place. Some cheap food too.

So after staying in BG until Friday, we headed over to Paducah (p-town) which was an adventure again. Grant's family was just so welcoming and Grant said that he had a huge dog. I had a couple of bad experiences with huge dogs when I was little so I was a little terrified to go into his house, but turns out, he had two little puppies. I was just like wow! And John had a great time with the dogs. If you could imagine a 6'8 guy running around with little puppies, saying who's your boogie boogie, it was quite entertaining.

So the next day we went to some really awesome music stores, I love little music stores. You find stuff that you wouldn't find at Guitar Center or somewhere else. Then we went to eat at Grant's family restaurant (which was a BBQ restaurant). I was so proud of myself for resisting the meat that surrounded me in that place. I got a vegetable hoagie, and it was pretty good. But I kept looking at the guys food and I wanted it so badly, but something in my head told me not to eat it, so I resisted.

We then went to Grant's uncle's farm, and we got to shoot guns, and sling shots at pumpkins. That was awesome! I even have video on my phone of me and the guys shooting, which I won't put up on here because when I shot, I almost hit the ground. It was really funny, never thought I would do something like that. But other than that embarrassment, I had an awesome time at the bonfire that night.

I am still really tired from the weekend, but it was awesome, no joke. Now, I have to catch up on homework and more extra curricular stuff, and plus its homecoming week, so I'm really excited for this week. Friday is songfest, Saturday is the football game, and then Sunday I'm preaching at a church in Midway, even though its going to be a busy weekend its going to be really really fun!

Well, its about that time because Foundation is about to start (gotta love foundations)!

Go Tigers!

Something New!

Hey again!

This week Kentucky and I became well acquainted with each other. I would have never thought it would this cool in October, its suppose to be like 80 degrees right now. The first day I was like oh, this is unusual, but now, that its been a week, I'm starting to adjust, it actually feels really good outside, I'm excited for winter now.

So, this past week was my first week as a vegetarian! I'm actually really excited about this, my friends think I'm crazy and I'm doing this because of a girl, which I would never do, thats just crazy. I mean just because I smiled when they said that doesn't mean anything.

I had my first grr...band experience last week at the first home football game, going from a high school national champion marching band of 300 members this was definitely a huge culture shock, but I'm embracing it. I had a really good time at the football game, there was a lot of people there to support the football team to. We obviously won!

Lets go GC!

Then on Friday, the band participated in festival of the horse parade, I didn't actually play, I stood in the band van and waved, that was a little entertaining, I felt like the president. I was amazed at the amount of people there for a festival dedicated to horses. I really have no room to talk because in New Orleans they basically have a festival for every seafood that you can name, gotta love New Orleans!

Fall Break is almost here!!

This is going to be a pretty chill week for me, 3 days of classes then road trip to Western Kentucky with some friends, can't wait. I'm sure I'll have lots of stories to tell when I get back from that. Hopefully, I'll still be a vegetarian after the trip, Grant's family owns a bbq restaurant so there is meat everywhere :( I wish I could go home and see friends, but the road trip actually sounds more exciting, just saying.

Well until next week, T. Lloyd out!!

Go Tigers!
