I Knew You Would Be

Today was a good day (been havin a lot of those lately, its an epidemic). I decided to go to church. I was not going to go, but when I was asked what time I was leaving (assumed that I was going) I had to rethink my decision...especially when the question was posed "why not?" I just thought about all the stuff I break my neck to do, get food, go to the mall, get my hair done. I can do all of those no matter how tired I am, so then there can be no valid enough reason along those lines to NOT go to church and be fed spiritually. Having thought all of that, then I couldn't just allow myself to stay in the bed, my conscience wouldn't let me. Basically I pulled myself outta bed, and got my church clothes on to go to Destiny. I pulled into the parking lot and sent my person a text message saying, "Im @ Destiny." and he hit me back saying, ":)I knew you would be." When I got there I felt alone (because I was). I always do, but hopefully from now on I will have someone to go to church with me. On the other hand, I think going alone might be a good thing for me, cuz then maybe I'll step outside of my shell and eventually attempt to make some friends. I don't know about all that, but I do aim to be involved in the College Ministry there, Transitions and next Sunday I'm going to sign up for one of the two membership classes.

Ok so after church Jon and Keith rode back with me, and I went to have brunch. After brunch I had intended to take a little nap, but when I woke up after my alotted hour, I had a headache. I don't know how I WOKE UP with a headache, but it just happened, so naturally I pressed snooze and ended up sleeping until I had to wake up to go to work. As soon as I got to OMED for tutoring, even tho I was 5 mins early, this guy was WAITING for me and I ended up helpin him with his paper for an hour and a half out of the two hours I was there. I've been there for 7 Sundays now and I've only helped 3 people, but who's complaining? I dread the day that more than one person comes in at a time because I like to take a good look at people's papers and that can be time consuming. After the guy left, I had a half hour to kill, so I did a little studying. I left at 7:30 on the dot and I was going to go eat before my meeting at 8, but it took like 10 minutes to find a decent parking space, plus Woody's wasn't serving anything worth eating anyway (as usual). Why do meal plans cost so much and the food still sucks? I didn't gain weight last year because the food here doesn't make you want to continue eating eat...definitely doesn't want to make you OVEREAT it. Thanksgiving is going to make up for all the wrong that has been done to me by GT Dining though...lol. Grandma and my aunts are going to come through with that turkey, stuffing, gumbo and everything else like whoa! I can't wait.

The hall council meeting at 8 was cool. I couldn't find a resident to bring to represent our section and Sharma tried to call me out on that point, but I'm not trying to be Miss UltraAnnoying PL and try to DRAG residents to something I'm not really trying to go to in the first place. What am I supposed to do, walk around cracking a whip and saying YOU HAVE TO GO! I think not. I guess the best I can do is let the girls know that all their hall council money is being spent and there is nothing they can do about it because they are never there. The meeting ended at 8:30 and I just knew I was going to go eat at Woody's, but I went in and came right back out with an ice cream cone. The guy looked at me like ummm, what are you doing? I was like, man there is nothin up there to eat.

I went to visit and take care of my person. He had a headache and hadn't eaten so I went made him some sandwiches, which is a breakthru for me cuz I'm so selfish that I don't normally do things like that, even for my family. Maybe I'm maturing a little, quien sabe? We had a long interesting talk that was really cool, but also accounts for my delirium now (as it is Monday morning and I'm writing for yesterday).
