Summit Day 1 and 2

I completed a week's worth of homework in one day so that I could go to Summit. And we left on a bus at 3:30 in the afternoon. I sat by Adriane and across the isle from Brian, so it was good times. Then the bus got really cold and Adriane pulled out a massive blanket that could have doubled as a teepee, so I was really warm. 22 hours later, we arrived at the Hyatt in Jacksonville, Florida. I'm really not all that hyped up to be here. I don't have the nerves I've had for the two years prior to this. I don't know why. I've already seen Alex three times and Megan twice. Megan actually found me, which was cool because after her failure to come see me when she came to Austin, I was thinking she wouldn't want to talk to me while I was here.

Grace Covenant is quizzing tomorrow, so is Alex's team. However, Olympic Bible isn't. They have fine arts, so I want to go see them instead of Grace's second round of quizzing. We'll see if I can convince my friends to let me do that. Other than that, we're slightly uneventful. I do have one story though.

The group is at "Vito's Italian Cafe", where everything is about $20, so Brian and I don't order anything. Then, Alex texts me and asks me to save her. Her mom was keeping her hostage in a room with a bunch of weirdo guys. So she sent me the room number and Brian and I went to rescue her. Her mom opens the door and I start talking. Her mom starts "sshhing" me and I stop and then she starts talking in something lower than a whisper. She's freaking out because she doesn't want the "head honcho" to get mad at her again for letting them be loud. So first, Alex came out and her mom pushed her back in, after which Alex shut the door and locked her out of the hotel room. Then I yelled "Alex is running away!" and Brian and I ran down the hall. So apparently, she chased after us but we were gone and her mom caught up to her, so she had to go back.

That's about it for now.
