Fortune Cookie Say:

"Your fastidious nature has much more fun this year!"

Well, let's hope so.


I'd just like to say that this weekend has been pretty much amazing. Friday night I ran home to Brookings and picked up my new glasses, which absolutely rock. They also came with a sweet case which looks more like it should hold ancient scrolls than glasses, which just makes me smile. And my parents took me out for Chinese, which is always good.

I got back to SuFu Friday night in time for the waffle party and to watch Enchanted. Plus Corinne was on campus for the first time in ages, and we hung out for a while.

Then came Saturday, when Adam randomly showed up and invited us out to lunch at Famous Dave's. He even offered to pay for the four of us. And Bobby from my sailing trip works there, so I got to talk to him a bit. Oh, and they gave us free bottles of BBQ sauce, so I now have one in my fridge. I really don't know when I'll use it...

After lunch we wasted time at the mall. Seriously wasted. We had a whole pile of Younkers coupons and couldn't find a single thing there that worked. Frustration ensued. My good mood was restored, however, when I found a bracelet of black wooden beads with various religious icons on it. It made me smile, and so had to be purchased.

I even had time in the afternoon to practice violin, something I never do often enough. Then we had dinner at Jimmy John's, and I think I've discovered my new favorite cold sandwich. I know it sounds lame, but it was cool at the time. Then the day ended with a random trip to Wal-Mart with Clay and Sherwin. Good times.

Sunday included choir performances at a random Lutheran church in town. We sang at both services, and so heard the message twice. Ironically, the message was about how God works in surprising ways, and that we should be open to recognize his movement in unexpected places. And we heard this twice. Think about it.

The afternoon is a bit of a blur, but it involved a nap and Lord of the Rings on TNT.
Then there was the dress rehearsal for tomorrow's orchestra concert. I know a three hour rehearsal doesn't sound like fun to most people, but hearing and producing amazing orchestral music is good for the soul, even if not for my back. I'll be a little disappointed when this concert is over and I no longer have an orchestra to play with. Someday I'll find one again.

And yes, mother, there was homework sprinkled in there amidst the fun, it's just not worth documenting.

Sorry this post is kind of lame, I'm just trying to get back into the habit of posting again.
