This week started out pretty good. I went through my Purdue email account and cleaned it out. I went from 401 emails to 47 - I had a lot of old, unnecesary stuff :]
Also on Monday, I ordered a new book :D I got an email from Barnes and Noble saying that there was a big half off sale, plus I could get free express shipping if I used a mastercard. Well, this was just too good of an offer to pass up, so I went shopping online. I want to read One Day by David Nichols, but that one wasn't on sale so I got The Hunger Games for $4.50 and it should come in by tomorrow. Free express shipping is rather nice :D
Then Tuesday was Wesley night again. I'm on the Supplies team for Winterization so at the meeting we decided to take inventory of all the supplies in the Dungeon (the basement). By the way, if you ever want to see the largest collection of rakes you've ever seen in your life then come to Wesley - we have 230.
Then it was time for bible study. However, Corey, the Disciple student leader, wasn't going to be there so we didn't have Disciple. Then Mariah, who leads a justice bible study, wasn't there either so a bunch of us 'refugees' from those groups got together and held our own bible study - which, ironically enough, was about refugees and pilgrims in Hebrews. That was pretty fun, there were five of us and we each had a different version of the Bible so we all read a verse and a half aloud to hear the differences.
And then Wednesday came along.
It started off okay, but then I had a Stat lab and I just could not get the stupid program to work. I was also realizing how much I had to do within the next two days, and the list was getting longer and longer as I thought about it. I was getting pretty close to freak-out mode, but then I went to Wesley between classes (like usual) and Pastor Glen offered up Jake to fix whatever problems I was having, and Jake said that was part of his job as the Wesley intern. That made me smile, which was good. I'm truely thankful to have Wesley Foundation in my life.
When I got back to my room, I tried working with the program again and eventually, I had to take a few breaks so I didn't throw Siruis out my window, I got the lab done. I celebrated with the canteloupe in my refridgerator (which was really good, and now I need more) and the Star Wars book I was on last night (it's a different one this morning). After a Club Sports Presidents and Treasurers meeting (where I got to learn how to be a treasurer, even though I've been doing this since last March...), I watched Firefly with a bunch of people in the house. Firefly is a show that was on the SciFi channel, and I kinda came acoss the Firefly Night by accident last week but I enjoyed it so I'm planning on continuing to watch.
And then today started out fairly okay, I still had quite a bit to do. I've been listening to the Star Wars soundtracks all day, though, so that's kept me sane.
For Spanish, I'm researching the Aztecs and their history and religion. While reading their creation story, this part jumped out at me: (the gods had to sacrifice temselves to become the sun for the earth)
The proud god Tecuciztecatl offered himself, but the other gods preferred the humble Nanahuatzin. A great fire was built, but Tecuciztecatl was too afraid at the last minute to jump in. Nanahuatzin did jump. Filled with jealousy, Tecuciztecatl jumped after, followed by a brave eagle and jaguar.A rabbit! I started laughing when I read that, I couldn't get over it. Of all the things to throw in his face, a rabbit?
Two suns began to rise in the east. It was too bright - the gods threw a rabbit into the face of Tecuciztecatl to dim the light, and he became the moon.
So we have a possum infiltration, apparently. Andrew has caught 6 in the trap in the basement, and then there was one on the second floor last night. I was reading my book in bed when I heard what sounded like something falling off of a shelf. Confused, I looked around my room but nothing had fallen so I shrugged and went back to my book. Then a little while later, I heard people hitting doors and walls. Really confused now, I guessed they either really wanted to get someone's attention or were messing with someone trying to sleep. But then I heard Ben say 'How did it get up here?' and it clicked - the thing I'd heard was a possum and the loud noises were the guys catching it. I got up and opened my door to find Kyle reloading his nerf gun - they had had it trapped and he had been shooting it to get it to run into the cardboard box so they could take it outside.
We can't have pets here, so a few people (namely Patrick) have said that we should just start keeping all the possums and training them :] And then Michael said that he would just trap them to use for his weekly dinner. I said I was really glad I'm a vegetarian :D We're having a house meeting with Pastor Glen and Pastor Lana on Monday to get things figured out.
Tomorrow my mommy comes down to see me! Yay!
Peace.
