It's the Weekend!
You can begin to tell when fall/winter is approaching, because classmates/roommates begin getting sick. :( The top floor of one dorm is already sick. Yuck. Not much happened over the weekend, but here are a few highlights.
Thursday:
On Thursday, Sara woke up not feeling well. Hannah soon followed with a cold on Sunday morning. Later that night, Hannah and I went to the local grocery store across the street. It felt really good to get out after studying for a couple hours straight.
It felt awesome not to have to stress about any homework due this week because it was all done!!
Friday:
Sara went home for the weekend. I had no excuse not to accomplish all my work.
Saturday:
I love the weekends, not because I have no class, but because I can sleep late (9:30 ish.) That afternoon, Hannah and I went out shopping. We visited the local antique stores and a couple thrift shops. At one store they had a Medieval dress handmade from the tabs of soda cans. It said it weighed 8 pounds and the asking price was $1,500. That dress was awesome! After exploring for 2 hours, we began our walk home. The trails nearby are gorgeously lined with lush trees. I stayed up after midnight to finish Theology before hitting the pillow.
Sunday:
Usually the rails on the top bunks are pretty sturdy, but I have not been so successful with mine. Within the last three weeks I have knocked off the rail at least 4 times. Two other times I have popped out the pegs. The rail is secured by a metal peg which allows the rail to slip over it like the cap of a marker. It seems that the peg is not wide enough to hold the rail. I shall hunt down a wider peg this week. Thankfully, I have not fallen out of bed yet, although there was a student who had previously fallen out of the top bunk.
The freshmen dance is approaching withing the next 2 weeks! Tonight there was a dance class for swing. I have never done swing before, but I loved it.
I finally finished all my ice cream cake. It was delectable!
Sara is back and is feeling better!! Yeah!
Here's a joke I found.
Student: "Would you punish me for something I didn't do?"
Teacher: "No, of course not."
Student: "Good, because I didn't do my homework."
Thankfully I don't have to worry, because after I finish reading the Iliad I don't have anymore homework due this week!!!!!
Dearest Liz,
ReplyDeleteWe will pray you stay well amidst the afflicted!!
Great pic of The Mitsker!
Sending a package your way today. (albeit late) Hope you enjoy it.
Keep up the good work.
Love to you,
Ms Becky
Loved reading your blog. Praying for you to stay well. How about some duct tape to keep that rail from riding out of the bed head and foot boards? Love you! Aunt Carol
