day 55

Honestly, this was a week ago, so I don't quite remember everything that happened.  but, I remember that this is the day I realized there was really no getting around it; I need new Chuck's.  I also remember that this was the day that, for once, I finished, on a Friday, a paper that was due the following Monday.  And it was also the night we had our movie-themed late-nighter at church, for which we had a costume contest, and I went as Linus from Peanuts.

day 52

uh...i don't really remember what was going on last week.  but, i do remember that is the first time in a while that Nathan and I got to hang out.  We sat under the stairs to hang out, and it was kinda an interesting view so I was playing around with it while he went to the bathroom or something.  I tried to do something with the composition, but I'm not really sure how well that actually turned out.

day 51

This was just me goofing off and taking pictures after class the other day, 'cuz it was nice out, I had a few minutes to kill, and I hadn't posted a picture in a while.  This picture's actually kinda interesting, 'cuz I did the like, up-close branch in-focus; background tree blurry thing. ...but I did it completely on accident.  I did it later on purpose too, it just...wasn't as good a picture as this one.  And that's probably the highlight of my week; it hasn't been very exciting.

day 50 - St. Patrick's Day!

I did not wear green today; feel free to leave pinches in a comment or whatever.

As I just mentioned, I've been playing catchup for most of the past week, including today.  I went to a meeting for a program I'm in this morning, had lunch with some friends I haven't seen in a while, did super lots of homework, went to work, had some pizza with some guys, and then took a test.  or finished taking a test rather. ...but we won't get into that headache.

 no, today's picture is from the pizza eating session.  The other guys brought the pizzas (and chips), and my fiance and I brought sodas.  Through a random comment or something, I ended up spending about a half hour building this:

yeah, that's right.  4 coke bottles stacked on top of each other, with the tops stacked on top.  I could get the bottles fairly easily, but the tops kept not stacking properly, and then i knocked the whole thing over about 3 times.  plus it was *just* breezy enough to actually be a problem.  but I did it. :)

and that's the exciting thing for the day. :D

day 49

this is the box of m&m's I won yesterday in a game during class.  Don't get too excited that I'm awesome enough to win though; it's not that big of an achievement since I was the only one playing.
After classes and work and all the normal weekly stuff, I went to church for a Friday night hangout, and that was fun.  We had a bonfire and made s'mores and stuff, played corn hole with some of the kids, and watched a movie.  Not terribly exciting or anything, but a good time overall :)

And that was probably the most exciting day of my week.  The rest of the week was spent playing a lot of catch-up from break.  I enjoyed being able to go home and work on..pretty much not school for a while, but the lack of school work done definitely came back to get it's revenge.

Actually, I somehow almost forgot.  Nathan and I officially have housing for next year/over the summer:)  we went and signed the contract this afternoon, so May 16th..the place is ours. :D

day 48

Maybe it's really hard to see, but the picture's supposed to show the grass stains I have from playing volleyball at youth group tonight.  It was a lot of fun, but I got a little bit dirty.  ..I also ..cleated myself in the thigh, without cleats on?  I don't think it really left a mark or anything though, so I guess that's definitely not in the picture.

Anyways, my day:  wake up super early (...one hour earlier, it seems, since its time change Sunday. :P), got ready, drove from my house to my school (which is about a 10 hour drive), stopping a few times for gas or to pick up passengers, unpacked quickly, went to church/youth group, went to subway for dinner, and then did some homework, and now (or soon), I am going TO BED.

day 47

Even though my fiance's birthday was almost a month ago, his mom decided we should celebrate it with his family.  so, they made this cake (the m-n-m tree cake) because it is his favorite birthday cake (we had it last year too). I think my favorite part of this cake is the numbers on it, for which there are two possible interpretations:
1)  He's actually a time lord (maybe even the Doctor!)  and is actually turning 9,651 years old. 
2)  His family didn't have the number "2" as a candle, so they put numbers that added up to "21" instead of just putting 21 candles on it.

day 46

And again, not waking up one time. (blurry time on alarm clock, 'cuz..my waking up to alarm clock skills are blurry? meh, i dunno).  Anyways, after going to bed at something like four, I got called at quarter after 6, and around 6:30, and then my alarms started going off.  And still, was asleep when my mom woke me up 5 minutes after we should have left. :-/
Anyways, I got the temporary crown on my implant done, so it's exciting that I actually have a tooth there now. :)  and I got a cavity filled, which was fine, but not nearly as exciting. 
Overall though, I just got to have a really nice day hanging out with my mom, who went with me to all my doctors appointments.  We went out to lunch, slept through movies on the couch, went grocery shopping, and a few various other errands.  Then my fiancee came over for dinner and we were going to watch the Blues Brothers on Netflix, but its not on there anymore.  So we watched Doctor Who instead, which was not a loss at all. :) 

day 45

So, I was pretty excited to go to church this morning, because it's the only chance I get over spring break to go to my "home church."  Home church in quotations because, as much freshman year at college, it really was my home church.  and even more so when I still lived and went to school here, and was at this church every Sunday.  But, since I go to school ten hours from home, it's a fair bit easier and more convenient to go to church up there too.  And ever since I really started getting involved in that church, it's become my home church too.  In any case, I was gonna go to church with my family this morning.  However, when I should have been at/going to church, I was busy doing this:

The rest of my day consisted of watching movies and How I Met Your Mother on Netflix, reading Hyperbole and a Half, and...no, that's pretty much it.  I also ate much more food than I should have, or would have back at school.
AND, I decided to go for a run.  So, I go put on running clothes and shoes instead of my pajamas, and tell my mom I'm going for a run.  I take a step out the front door and as I'm shutting it, I realize that it's raining.  Even so, I decide that it's not raining that hard, and if I don't run now, I won't all day,  so I go ahead and go.  But maybe a third into my plan run (probably not even that), It starts thundering and raining harder, so I just went back home and watched more stuff on Netflix.

Also, I've started realizing i'm either too busy to take pictures of my day, or too boring to take pictures of my day.  The lack of pictures due to busy-ness can't really be helped too much, but the lack of pictures because of boring days can!  That's because on those days, I have the TIME to take pictures, just nothing to take pictures of.  So, if you have ideas of what i should take pictures of for those days, let me know.  (Or maybe no one's reading this, and ..i'll just stop making a big deal in my head about the blog.  ..which is fairly likely, the stats part of the page says all my traffic sources are like, spambots and hikers from russia or something wierd. )

day 44

So, I woke up this morning, a tad later than I had meant (like, ten minutes before class late), and decided I would ride my bike to class instead of walk.  This is why I didn't:

As you can see, my bike is having a wrestling match with someone else's bike or something, so I didn't ride my bike to class.  I did make it through my last three classes though, and officially started Spring Break. :D  I also went to work, which was MUCH chiller than I thought it would be (i thought it was going to be nuts because it would be all subs, but the lack of people eating dinner made it really chill even so.)  then we went to church and just kinda hung out with some of the kids.  I got to make the popcorn too. :)  ..and that was my day.

day 43

Spring Break's so close I can almost taste it!!! :D :D :D  tomorrow i just have two classes, and a test, and then I'm officially on break!  although, i do have to go to work in the evening, and should go to the gym as well.  And I get to go to church for some youth group stuff, which should be fun. :)

but today was pretty good, I just went to classes and stuff.  I also went for a run and spent quite a bit of time with my fiance's RD and his wife, who also doubles as our mentor couple, and that was fun. :) I also did remarkably little homework, which was also nice. :)  ..and that's my day.
