After the wedding yesterday, Tyler, Cora, Jake, Jesse, Matt, and I hung out here in the house playing Monopoly, conversing, and such things. It was fun getting to hang out with everybody outside the context of school. Being here in Lincoln and able to do things like this is nice. It was also good to see everybody else who was at the wedding, yesterday.

Matt’s almost moved in; he ran home today to get his clothes then he’ll be here for the summer. Chesnut brought some things over today, too. He’s going to be living here for a couple weeks before he goes to Zambia as one of the team-members from our university’s Navs. I’m not sure if he’s gonna start staying here tonight or not. I’m not sure if Matt will be back tonight or not. The last couple nights we’ve had four people stay here in the house ’cause they needed a place to crash. Perhaps a return to being alone?

I don’t feel alone. Or I just don’t feel lonely. Even with the silence.

Thoughts. Plenty of them, today.

So the little red light on top of the capitol building is blinking. It’s dark and hazy outside. And I’m also posting after midnight again. (Bad habit, if you ask me.) To(yester)day, I got some CPRA stuff done, bible study, a bit of studying, and a hair cut. Tracy came by after lunch and did some cutting, trimming, evening, blending, and other movement related to scissors. At the end, my hair is much shorter again and looking pretty spiffy. (Thanks, Tracy!)

After CPRA tonight, went to Crescent Moon (yes, the place where my story about Girl at the Moon is based). Misty and Crystal were there so I talked with them a while before doing a bit of studying. Amy was working like usual and Jake also came tonight. It was good talking to Misty and Crystal. It’s been good getting to know each of them better seeing them on most Mondays.

Now I’ve got a paper to finish related to a movie I watched in my International Relations class. *sigh* Back to work! *vanishes*

Tonight was country swing dancing night. It was fun. I danced with many girls. I’m getting better at doing a move called “Table Top” and also just getting a bit faster. Some girls are pretty fun to dance with since they’ve been there every time I have and we know each other’s styles decently well (Tracy and Rachel, por ejemplo). When that happens, it’s fun to go really fast. Sometimes though, fingers slip away or you accidentally run into somebody else (whoops!). On the way back home, we dropped Frank off at his fraternity. Jake let Tracy and I out to go see Phil in his dorm. Turned out Phil was sleeping, so we just walked back to Pound while talking on the way. Tomorrow, Tracy is going to cut my hair. Cost Cutters = $15. Tracy’s Hair Salon = $0. I’m saving (fifteen minus zero….. oh!) fifteen dollars.

One test this week, some other homework and quizzes. I’ve got a lot to read to be ready for the test. This is the second test in World History and I need to do better on this then the last one to try to boost my grade from a C up to at least a B. This week and next will be crucial in determining the outcome of my grades for the semester. Time to git in gear.

(If I ever finish this roll of film and get it developed, I’ll have some pictures of The Missouri Road Trip and… whatever else I’ve taken pictures of so far this semester.)

Sleeping in rocks. Did it on Saturday and today. Had lunch with my friend Tim yesterday. It was our first chance to hang out this semester.

During the rest of Saturday, did a bit of homework and watched Analyze This with Cora, Jake, Justin B., and Matt. Read a bit more of “The Visitation” by Frank Peretti. It’s an interesting fictional novel with Christian themes. A lot of it seems to be based on Peretti’s own experiences as a pastor.

So today not much is going on. Church at Zion like usual, lunch, and now… homework and whatnot. Not very exciting, is it? Three tests this week and other assorted homework.
