(no subject)
Life has been full of random goodness lately.
If you didn't know already, we got 2 full days off for snow. This was a serious storm. I was really angry (mostly at myself) on day 1 because despite the fact that I only got about 4.5 hours of sleep (an all-time low) I was bound and determined to make it to work and classes because I'm stubborn like that. Like I really needed that extra $7 for showing up, but dammit I was going to earn it!
I walk up the stairs of the library and Barb tells me to go home. The Chancellor waited until 9am to make the call. Which was a great blessing, but not after you've gotten yourself out of bed, commuted for half an hour and then are told to go BACK into the razor sharp snowfall.
None of this would have happened if I'd taken care of myself and slept in. I was so jealous of Lynn, who the night before had proclaimed it her own snow day and decided that no matter what the school said she wasn't going anywhere. Sandy and I ended up on the same bus and sat in the living room snuggling and watching movies.
We later played football in the razor-snow again. This was fun, of course, except for that whole part where I can't catch/tackle/run/appear useful so I had fun pretending I was having fun. And then we dug the car out.
I was at Fever when we heard that a second day of no classes would ensue. Of course, for some reason Sandy and I were bound and determined to drive home despite the conditions. We had to dig the car out. Again.
But not before impromptu P&W with the Fever boys. Rena was right when she said, "Possibly one of the greatest memories of college"--please add this one to my screenplay. Doesn't even need a soundtrack!
Got a lot of stuff done yesterday while sitting in front of my computer. Had another interview for a major media source I'm not sure if I'll end up in print, and thats okay. She already had a profile like mine. Perhaps I've become "just another Catholic Girl." (Its about time.) Tracy has some big plans that she informed me of too. Please keep her in your prayers as she attempts to make a decision. Maybe some day I'll put more of this experience into words. Tell me--do you think that I should open up the past few months to my blog, or should I just continue to be vague about it? I have yet to decide.
I was in Spiritual Direction this week telling Sister Janice how I was digging a book by Dawn Eden. There is so much of it that speaks to me. Dawn is a single woman living a life of chastity in NYC. She's had an amazing turn in her life and this is her story about the glory of single life as it leads to marriage (ok, so she left the nun part out, but its still amazing). Anyhow, Sister told me yesterday that they're attempting to get her to speak on campus. I nearly flipped--and then volunteered my apartment, and picking her up from the airport. I'm convinced that we're destined to be best friends.
Had 2 beautiful dinners cooked by 2 beautiful friends. I don't think I could have asked for a better Valentine's evening. Thanks for all the lasagna,
Off to Indiana this weekend to see my Sarah. How I miss her living downstairs at the JHuis. Belgium just isn't the same without us. And I've ready for this trip.
