It was nice to get a break from school for a bit.
We dropped Courtney off at the airport Thursday morning, Amy LOVED the shuttle bus. Caleb and Trevor, too, but they were pretty bummed that we couldn't go very far past the check-in desk. Laura and Dylan were both pretty excited about actually leaving, too. We had at least fifteen people assembled to send off those three alone, and probably more will be there to welcome them back on Friday.
Her birthday went well, from what reports we've gotten, lots of singing and cake. Looking forward to hearing stories of what the trip was like.
I got to catch up on some reading, especially book-sale finds from the last visit. That was nice. And it was good to see the little goats(now not so little anymore), and Copper, and Rags. The world needs more good animals, especially dogs and cats. They're good motivators. Got Mom caught up on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, she loved it. (Two weeks til Thor...!!!!)
It was very good to be at GBC again, getting to hear good teaching and seeing friendly faces. We then went to the Buddy Walk, a fundraiser/awareness thing put on by the Down Syndrome Association of Tulsa. It's DSAT's biggest event of the year, and Amy LOVED IT.
Classes went by on Monday, it's been far, far too cold. Not really outside so much, it's supposed to get cooler this time of October, but inside, to still have the air-conditioners on? Thankfully they were turned off, but still... Although it has been colder than normal.
Grabbed dinner about 5 p.m, ran into Elizabeth coming into the UC. "Hey! What's up?" "Not much, just getting some dinner before practice starts." "Same...need a dinner buddy?" "Sure, why not?" Justin came by about five minutes later, and we all talked for about an hour, then briskly speedwalked to SWAT practice.
Editing went pretty well Tuesday, so did lit, had a Latin test this morning, think it went okay, but there's that nasty test-aftertaste that you're never quite sure about... psych quiz for Monday, then a test on Wednesday. So trying to get ready for those.
The Cardinals made it to the World Series again, which is awesome. They're playing the Red Sox, first game is tonight at seven. There's not going to be very much homework happening on-campus tonight, I'm thinking. (High percentage of Cardinal fans in Ross, at least.) And Jed and Shari and everybody else around St. Louis is on Cloud 9.
The NBA season starts next week, so we can forget the Sooners-vs-Cowboys debate on football and rally together as Thunder supporters. My feeling is that we won't do very well this year, upper-mid-pack in the West. But we'll see. They're starting their sixth season in OKC, which is unbelievable. Wasn't it yesterday that they moved from Seattle? And how is it that Oklahoma ended up with a PRO SPORTS TEAM?! Much less ONE THAT ALMOST WINS A CHAMPIONSHIP?! Amazing. Just...amazing.
Sat out on the porch the other day and played Abby Lee for about half an hour, that was nice. Some Audio Adrenaline, Rich Mullins, Journey and David Cook, mostly. ("Big House", "If I Stand", "Faithfully" and "Time of My Life", specifically.)
Studying eating disorders, mental disorders, depression and the ineffectuality of the educational system all at the same time isn't much fun. Somewhat interesting individually in a morbid sort of way, but all together...and then when the main objective of the day is to just stay warm, that doesn't help much. Need to plot out next semester's schedule, enrollment opens soon. I think my TV might be close to wearing out, it's been giving off these weird overheating smells for the last couple days. Maybe I should plan a trip to Florin.
