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!
T. Lloyd out!
