This has been a crazy tough week, with it's definite positive moments. I had a 6-10 page paper due this monday, on something I didn't even think I could pull out of my butt, and I'm rather proud of my ability to BS papers. I managed to make it just over 6 pages, and I didn't feel that bad about the paper. It's probably C material.
I got out of my class on friday early because of my finagling, I skipped one class. I did the in class homework and finished just before class was supposed to start. I had also ridden my bike to class (cause I missed my bus...) so when I left early (and had no French) I just got to ride my bike home; no waiting on buses.
It helped that it was GORGEOUS! out on Friday afternoon. The minute I got home, I turned around with my dog and my camera, and we went on a walk. The stone arch bridge is our new nine mile creek (i.e. our new regular walking spot). We went down there, and there's a stairway to down under the bridge by the shore of the misses-sip that was blocked off until the true arrival of spring. Finally, seeing that it was opened now, we went down there. We did an off-road hike, as I like to say. We climbed all over, and I love to take pictures of graffiti (don't know why, I just think it's a cool art-form) even though it's unoriginal because someone else did the hard work, but there was a ton down there so I had a field-day.
Then I went into Bloomington to hang out with my dearest at the Jap Gardens. From last saturday til this saturday I saw Sara 4 times! It was awesome.
I had been weirdly excited for Good Friday for a while now (like more than a month) because I was interested to see how my new church did it considering they're not tradition in any way except their use of a bible, a pastor, and a common gathering place. I really liked how they did the service. It was probably my favorite that I've gone to; the most emotional, anyways which is why I liked it. Very somber. Props to Mercy (the church, not the noun but that too).
So today was nice too cause I got to hang out with my sibs a bit. We went to the guthrie, which it was a beautiful day for. Then when we went over to my rents' we hung out some more. It was just a good old time, I love them! It's cool to be friends with them now, as opposed to not even liking each other like 6 years ago. We played Guitar Hero, which only furthered the disintegration of my dwindling hope to learn guitar someday. It's embarrassing; there's a reason I don't play it (the game, that is).
Overall, a good weekend. And it's nice to face the week ahead of me, not feeling overwhelmed that tomorrow is the beginning of yet another. I almost look forward to it, because I don't know what it's going to be, - instead of fearing it for that reason. I guess this weekend has me overall feeling hopeful.
