thoughts this evening
did you know that it was close to 60 degrees F this morning, and now it is 30 and dropping? crazy weather. today we got rain, thunder, sun, lightning, snow, wind, hail, you name it. about the only thing we didn't get was a tornado, and i'm not even all that certain about it. Nature in all her Glory :-D
this weekend is going to be strange. it's a long weekend. i am not going home. teresa is going home. i got a group organized (i hope) and ready to go to the dance flurry tomorrow, i'm seeing EOP tonight, after which i'm going to see if people from RCA are still hanging around getting ready to go to the after group thingus, this is where the flurry comes in the schedule (after some sleep, of course), after flurry, i'm going to head to the playhouse, cause it's party time, then on very little sleep i'm going to go to church, lunch, small group, dinner, game night, sleep. monday is dedicated to homework. tuesday starts at 9 am. that's a packed little schedule. oh yeah, contingency plan: if i can't find RCA-ers tonight, i'll hang with players 2 nights in a row :-)
wow. when i have no mother's taking up my time, there's a ton of stuff i do.
the strangest thing about this weekend, though, is going to be the fact that i have no roommate for it. normally, on any given weekend, when i am running around being sociable, teresa is here, holding down the fort, etc. there is a continuity in that. "someone will worry if i don't come home at some point". it's comforting. it's not here this weekend. i can do anything. how likely, though, is that? if nothing else will keep me from going overboard, the sheer prospect of being able to do anything will.
my door is open right now. when teresa is here, the door is always closed. either scenerio is fine. there are times when you want the door to be open, and times when it needs to be closed. i kinda like having it open occationally. more sociable that way. i am also missing having company right now. i guess that the moral of the story is, it's a really good thing that i am not changing to a single room somewhere on campus, but actually moving in where i will have people around. this is a very good thing. i'm finding that people are good! as long as i give myself a couple minutes each day for myself, also. i get re-charged by both things. right now, though, i need people.
