So We Need It

Well. Yesterday after lunch, instead of being at a meeting that I was supposed to be at (I got confused by a text I received from my SRA, and I ended up making it to the meeting.. 15 minutes late), Kaleigh and I went to Salvation Army. After wandering around, looking, and laughing, we made our way to the back. We found a tiny, child-sized trampoline. After jumping on it, we decided we needed it. But it was $20. Way too expensive.

Small pause: Today, my girls moved in. I had 3 girls who were already here, for orientation or band, but the rest moved in today! So I did a lot, let me rephrase that - a TON - of talking to parents, checking in on rooms, walking around, answering questions, pretending like I knew what I was talking about, etc. Lots of things. Lots of words.

Anyways, back to my story. Today, after move-in, Kaleigh and I went to lunch. After lunch, we went to Salvation Army. Again. And of course, we jumped on the trampoline. Again. However, I could not be convinced that the trampoline was worth $20.

At our RA dinner tonight at Jim-n-Nicks, Kelsey convinced me to make an announcement about it. So I stood on a chair, hit my knife against my glass, and immediately started laughing. But then I said "Guys, there is a child-sized trampoline at Salvation Army. I've jumped on it twice. It's $20.00 and it is very jumpy. We need it for the central campus office. If every just gives about 75 cents, we can have it. It can be ours!"

I now have $13.46 and at least two pledges for $1. We have almost reached our goal.

But the question of the day is: why do we need a trampoline?

I mean, what in the world? A trampoline?? Haaha.

Anyways, I am so tired from being so social. Being ridiculous is so tiring.
