it's finals weekend and i am trying to get on track. Friday night was Seth and Christa having fun time, which included a bus trip to shop and eat dinner at Johnny Rockets. the Lennox shopping center always reminds me of being a little kid - my dad would take me there to see a movie sometimes at the theatre, and we'd eat lunch at the counter at Johnny Rockets. i always played Elvis or RESPECT on the jukebox to watch the servers dance. there was one guy who always made me the best peanut butter and jellies or chicken sandwiches and made my ketchup like a smiley face. i told some of this to Seth and i think eventually he will discover how important my family is to my life.
this morning, however, i got a string of terrible phone calls informing me that BOTH living grandmothers had been hospitalized - one at Riverside not too far from campus, one at St. Ann's in Westerville. i'm overwhelmed by projects and reflections, knowing that a good job on my Chinese final literally is the 2% grade difference between an A and a B. trying to understand abstract math and also spend time away from studying enough to not go insane.
i think tomorrow i'm going to buy some snacks at Buckeye Donuts, hop on my bike, and ride somewhere else to study - Goodale Park, the North Market, anything really. i need to get away from all these late 1960s dorm colors and flat walls and studying premeds in our dorm.
