I have decided I greatly enjoy using TGIF as a verb, it's fun :)
Yesterday marked the end of my first week of the interterm Statistics class I am taking, and I couldn't have been more ready for a weekend. It was quite apparent, as I spent the second half of my four hour class yesterday fighting the urge to space out, that I needed a break from numbers. God is good and gracious, and my class ended about an hour early, quite a blessing.
Needing some time for my brain to find a place to cram all of the new math related information, I did absolutely no homework yesterday, and it was glorious.
After class I ran some errands on campus. I checked my mail and was pleased that at least one of my community college transcripts had come. (I absolutely need the other to be in my mailbox Monday so I can send my admissions packet for the comm disorders department at SDSU) I checked up on a few things online and tidied up my room before going to the caf to meet Christine for lunch. It was great getting to catch up with her and not worry about time pressures. After lunch we went to the house in Fullerton she's living in, which I had yet to see.
It's a beautiful house, and a really great living situation. There are 3 other people renting rooms, but Christine has her own. The landscaping around the house is incredible. The man who owns the house with his wife is retired and does all the landscape stuff himself. I was very impressed. After having the tour of the house, Christine and I retreated to her room and watched One Night with the King. Amazing movie, I would highly recommend it. I love the story of Esther. It's definitely one of my favorite books of the Bible, and the movie was done in a very artistic way, yet still true to the story. I discovered in some reading tonight that the movie is based off a book (besides the one in the Bible, that is). I think I'd like to read the book.
By the time the movie was done it was time for us to return to campus. I did more little things around my room and then had "family dinner". A group of people in Hart are taking turns making dinner for everyone during interterm. You only have to make dinner once, and it's a great social time. Dinner was followed by a trip to Berry Cool with Krista, and upon my return to the dorm I happened in upon a Mary Kay party. I haven't been to one in quite a while, so it was fun getting to do a facial and hear about the new products.
And by the time that was done, I was ready for bed, without having to wake up at 7 to get ready for class :)
so, the probability of One Night with the King and Berry Cool and a Mary Kay party, relieving tension from 20 hours of math class in one week equals 100%

Lovely Lindsey (alliteration!)
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you had a restful afternoon when you so needed it.
Every time I see you type TGIF-ing, it amuses me, even though I know you don't mean 'f-ing' in the sense that many people might.
I agree with your assessment of the movie - very lovely. It was refreshing after so many poor movies made of Bible events.
Best of luck getting your SDSU application in - I just mailed mine yesterday. Now on to the ones due in two weeks!
Much Love.
