Good and bad

Life is like... a roller coaster. Your journey on this Earth will have many ups and downs. All you can do is hang on.

Last night were callouts for Camp War Eagle Counselor. My roommate Brad went out for it and he was extremely nervous on the way to Cater.

This is the only picture I have because my camera died. I was so mad.

BUT HE MADE IT!!

It's so exciting. I'm so happy for him. One of my best friends, Justin, is head camp counselor this year and he really wanted Brad to try out. Audrey and I went to callouts as Brad's support system and after he made it we came back to my apartment and decorated his room. We were kind of limited on resources so we had to resort to littering his bed with crinkled paper.

(All of the paper used in this picture will be recycled.)

YAY!!

On a less happy note...

If you've ever been to Washington D.C. chances are you have visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and watched the Changing of the Guard. Well today on Auburn University's campus the Air Force ROTC was holding a mock ceremony. 

While the Changing of the Guard is taking place they ask that you stand and remain silent out of respect. Apparently these two girls didn't feel like it was necessary to show respect. They just sat where they were and carried on a conversation. Were they even whispering? NO. They were talking in their regular voices! It was so disrespectful. I wanted to go over to these girls and tell them that the men in front of them might one day die for this country and that they needed to show them respect, but I had to leave for class before the ceremony was over. I just don't understand why standing and remaining silent is so hard to do. These men and women deserve out respect. Please always remember that.
