Es ist eine kleine Welt.

It is a small world.

I have made so many random connections here at Belmont that I've got to list some of them:

-I've already met several people that transferred here from Samford, many of whom had the same issues with it as I did. One girl transferred from Samford, but knows people from Bolivar who went to Kanakuk with her!

-Any day that I wear Mizzou apparel, I meet like five new people from Missouri.

-One girl I met from Springfield went on a date with a guy (Jared Reed) that goes to my church in Bolivar!

-A friend of mine here grew up in Jasper, AL, which was on the way to Birmingham for me. I asked him about the one person from Jasper that I had met at Samford, it turns out that he dated her!

-I met a girl from Olive Branch, MS (also on the way to Birmingham), and we talked about the roads and gas stations and restaurants I experienced on the way through.

-Probably the craziest of all...I met another Grant from Missouri (Jeff. City). His full name is William Grant Benton, which is even funnier because mine is Grant William Haun. I casually mentioned this to my parents while they were here for Labor Day weekend, and my mom told me she knew a Duane Benton from Jefferson City whose full name was William Duane Benton (look him up on Wikipedia). She said that he served on the Court of Appeals and that she was on the Missouri Baptist Foundation with him a while back. I asked Grant if Duane Benton is his dad, and he is! My mom knew his dad! How weird is that?

Oh, life.
