Everything...
Today was an amazing day. Well most of it. I am so proud of myself for finally taking that chance. And it didn't seem like such a hard thing to do once I finally did it! Everything just flowed so perfectly. And I'm convinced he was really sincere about missing me and wanting to hang out. The guy told me where he lives. If he didn't want to see me, I don't think he'd tell me where he lives. That's just askin for a stalker otherwise. So yeah, there's no plans yet... but we're gonna hang out. I'm gonna hold him to it. If we don't make plans tomorrow, I'm gonna give him my number and tell him to call me when he needs a study break ;)... And I'll see him Tuesday anyway!
The class before basketball and a discussion a couple hours after basketball weren't great things, but I'll get over it. I don't need to vent about that anymore, though.
Tonight was INCREDIBLE! Casting Crowns, Chris Tomlin, and Steven Curtis Chapman concert, with tons of great people... I loved it. 3 1/2 hours of solid worship, oh I can't even describe. My Uncle Chuck and Aunt Phyllis were there as well (with much closer seats than ours!) so I got to introduce Jacki to them. I have really been enjoying Jacki's company. It seems like we've known each other for so long and it's been a few months now. We just clicked right away. I'm so glad I have gotten to spend so much time with her! And I got to spend some great car-time with this great guy Dan (who was my orientation mentor way long ago) and a girl Katrina as well as Jacki. I'm so amazed how people I have barely talked to before can be so honest and open and share so much about themselves as well as so much love. It was tons of fun... There's a great drive through coffee and baked goods restaurant in Saginaw - 40 donut holes for 4.25! SO GOOD! And the moon was beautiful tonight! I took pictures, but they will be nowhere near as amazing as I saw... ok I could go on and on and not really gonna get anywhere, so I'm gonna do a fun survey thing.
