Sunday the weather was absolutely beautiful; just right for doing anything outside, so it was a pleasant walk both to and from church. Then played guitar for about an hour sitting on the porch before coming reluctantly inside to do homework. (That was before the wind started and the cold front moved in. Seriously, only in Oklahoma can you have a high of 71 degrees one day, to have a wind chill of 2 the next morning.) Nobody could sleep because of things rattling off the windows and the wind slipping through the numerous leaks, so at least it was a new topic to complain about.
Monday had Latin in the morning, which went pretty well, other than being cold. Raced over to the Underground for some lunch, then raced back to Seminary for Comm, which was interesting, full of snarky comments by students and the following quote from the instructor; "Don't ever corner an armadillo. They can get really mean. And they carry leprosy." Studying most of the afternoon, then grabbed some food in the caf, while trying to dodge the far-too-numerous people on my way out I narrowly avoided being run over by a herd of Tri-Sig sorority girls moving along in a pack like they always do.
The full gang was together for SWAT practice Monday evening; it went pretty well, we're still scrubbing the rust off the edges in order to get things all polished and shiny again. Then we quickly ran through our narrations after practice was over, piling onto the couches almost on top of one another in the living room with all the other people killing time before the meeting began.
That went well, and afterwards I got a ride from Zach to basketball practice. Much like the state volleyball tournament, there's a state basketball tournament for all the BCM chapters from each college around the state, held sometime early March at OBU in Shawnee...and I may end up making the team because there were only six guys to show up. Again, like volleyball practice, it was at the First Baptist-Tahlequah gym, divided up by guys and girls, tryouts for the first couple weeks and then more intense prepwork leading up to the tournament. I'm guessing the girls' team will probably do well in the tournament; the guys not so much.
Anyway, woke up Tuesday and went to MMP, then ate lunch in the caf and met up with Zach at Flo's for our weekly Bible study, looking at Ephesians 2. Stopped by the CCF house about 1:30 to help Javier get things set up for their meeting that night, more studying about 3, then watched a rerun of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and went over to the CCF meeting. Jav had just been promoted to assistant minister under Tom, it was neat to hear him teach.
Got an email from a lady asking if I was willing to be interviewed for a story she was writing for Oklahoma Living magazine, that was cool, doesn't happen every day.
Wednesday didn't get much sleep, and woke up extremely tired. Finally found out the difference between satire and sarcasm in Latin, Dr. Faulds explained it well. Comm was all right. Spent the afternoon studying, took a shower and froze with the air-conditioning, watched Jeopardy, got an advertising quiz out of the way(not as well as I'd hoped, but it'll do, I guess). And the Thunder absolutely destroyed Miami(in Florida), so that was pretty awesome.
Heard from Daniel, that was good. My Netflix queue is a weird mix of superhero movies, 70s/80s detective shows and Disney movies. The Rockford Files is good, been watching that recently. So is Columbo, also been watching that. And of course MacGyver. When I remember they're on, Full House reruns, and basketball and hockey games.
Reading The Princess Bride again, since I can't find the movie, thinking maybe I should try to learn how to play that theme song. Also been re-re-re-reading(that'd be "reading for the fourth time") Lucy Maud Montgomery's The Golden Road on my Kindle app, just remembered it was there a couple weeks ago.
Thursday morning the writer called; it was interesting being the one answering questions. Had lunch with Mallory, it was good to catch up on how classes were going and talk about basketball. Worked on homework and got a Comm report typed up and printed. Spent the night watching Netflix and doing a little bit of Bible study. And the chain on my braces popped loose, that's a little irritating and painful, but at least it's easy to fix with ibuprofen. (They should hopefully be removed this Thursday.)
The writer needed some pictures to go with the story, that was interesting, and a little awkward. (I'm not much a fan on having my picture taken.) But hopefully she got some good shots. Showed up late to Latin because of that, but at least I was there, and it let out early today. Comm did, too; it's just sort of a gray, slow day. Lots of students yawning and nobody very talkative, except about the Thunder. Now a report to work on for Monday in Comm and a quiz in there on Wednesday, that's the weekend's main homework
