Oh LIFE! It's so good. Hard sometimes, but oh so good. It's like chocolate. Sometimes it's hard and gross, and other times it's creamy and delicious. And then you have those times where it's hard, but you enjoy it anyways. You can quote me on that.
On Saturday I had Marisa's car for the day, so I got up early and headed over to Urban Stampede for coffee and devotions before worship practice. I really enjoy getting away from my apartment and campus to read, but since I don't have a car that's not an option, so I treasured this moment. Like an old lady treasures her cats. You can quote me on that.
Worship practice went well, and then one of Marisa's roommates had asked me to turn pages for her while she played piano at the nursing home (old people residence?) so upon arrival and return of Marisa's car, we headed out. The old folks really enjoyed Laura's piano playing, and I was able to get on the list to play in April. I love playing for the "older generation". They'll enjoy your playing no matter how terrible it is. I remember one time I was playing Christmas songs, and this guy rolled up to me in his wheelchair and kept singing "o little town of Bethlehem" to the tune of whatever song I was playing. You can imagine how difficult that would be when "Carol of the Bells" came around...
Anywho, that night (last night) we went to Feast of Nations! It was great. The I.O. (international organization) puts on this extravagant event with a 5 course meal (each a different ethnic cuisine), and international entertainment. What we didn't realize was that this was a formal event... So in come Marisa and I parading around in our jeans and winter coats. A girl walked by me in a gown and Marisa and I looked at each other realizing our mistake. All in all, it was a fun night despite our lack of appropriate wear.
I've come to the understanding that my blog posts are too long. And I have really nothing productive to say, and unfortunately the pictures from Feast of Nations are on Marisa's camera sooooooo..... I'll post those later?
In closing, I'd like to throw a few prayer requests out there:
1. That I'll be given 1 million dollors
2. That God will forgive me for thinking I deserve a million dollors
3. That God will continue to help me through this semester, and that I will follow God's direction as far as summer plans go.
I'll for sure be here until the end of June, but depending on whether or not my dad has a boat this summer, I may or may not go home for a few weeks to commercial fish. We'll see. I'd love to have that experience with my dad! We'll see.
Okay. HASTA LA BYEBYE.
