| an update was begged for... but there's nothing to say. my days consist of talking, listening, and thinking... eating and sleeping as well. this past weekend three different religion profs preached outdoor evening sermons for campus--sweet times. i also watched the long version of Pride and Predjudice with 5 frat guys... haha. they are an amazing frat, and they wanted to see it to "better understand the female mind"... i'm not sure it helped them, but they all have crushes on Elizabeth Bennett now, and are generally more cultured. i also split some wood out at the cabin and cleaned out the fireplaces, threw around a frisbee, caught up with one graduated friend and one on campus, saw an amazing movie: All The Kings Men. not for the whole family, but very thought provoking on topics of human nature and our inability to do any good of ourselves, good and evil, redemption, etc. as well as excellent cinematography (in my humble opinion) and beautiful symbolism throughout. Then there was church, a 3.5 hr nap, and College Fellowship. and other things happened too. my roommate has a spectacular specimen of an African violet, named Nairobi, who is currently sitting quite fruitfully on our bathroom windowsill. i have seen African violets with three or four or five flowers, but Nairobi currently has 12, with 25 more buds waiting to open. i saw a rainbow last week, after standing in the bitterly cold rain for 2 hrs for my friend's soccer game, which they lost, 2-0. true story: i was chewing bubble gum and trying to see how big a bubble i could blow on the way to class, when all of a sudden a gust of wind came and caught the bubble and whisked the whole piece of gum right out of my mouth and carried it off, spinning and bouncing (and still a bubble), into a dirt pile. i was quite distressed, but luckily had more gum in my backpack. the end. |
