I really like hype. I love anticipation. I think it's fun to have something to look forward to. Right now I feel like everyone is counting down the days till summer, I have 8 days of school left. In order to add to the building excitement I wanted to find out what my friends are looking forward to and took a survey. So many great things lay ahead for these people.

To spend an entire month at Rockbridge surrounded by people who are on fire and sprinting after God's face. Allison
