Last night I received two, perfectly lovely emails, stating that two of my classes for the day were canceled! Hip-hip hooray! All I had today was one period of earth science. So not only was I allowed to sleep in, but I also accomplished much. Books were read for a class that I never read for, simply because I never have time to read all that he assigns. Seriously, I have two books that I don't think I've yet picked up. Oops.
So that started off the day in a grand way. After earth science, Stalin and I had decided to hike up the mountain. It was pretty smoggy, so the view wasn't that great, but it was great talking to him nevertheless. We even were able to see a deer! Pretty cool stuff. Anyways, that took about 3 hours, and I managed to sneak into the cafe right before 6:30 (closing time!) and grab some food. Dinner was relaxed and casual- just the usual talk and fun stuff. I only had 30 minutes, though. At 7 I met with my RD to go out for coffee- which was the first time we'd done that, and it was really nice to catch up. But I'm pretty sure my drink wasn't decaf, and so I might be up alllll night tonight. :(
Oh, and just as a side note. A senior from last year (brother to a current student, and fiancé to another student) was on his way home last night, when his car battery died and his car flipped. He was in the hospital, and for a long time we didn't know what was going on. It was so neat, though. There were about 25 of us standing in our quad praying. Freshmen- who didn't know him came out, and it was just an awesome thing to see. The support that people provide in times of crisis is amazing. Chad is fine- he's out of the hospital with a neck brace and very sore, but ok! Praise God.
