Take Another Breath

this weekend was rather refreshing. it was the type of weekend that i've needed for quite some time now. i had very few assignments to work on from class so that freed me up to enjoy life for once. friday went as soon as it came, and as dog tired as i was from pulling the all nighter the night before, i still ended up attending a humanities pot luck with ethnic foods from all of the different classes. it was really neat to hear all of those different languages in one place. it makes me want to learn to speak more than just two. friday night struck with what i'd like to call a bad omen because some one dared to pull the fire alarm in pembroke at four am! i was so tired that it took me a while to wake up. you should have seen me. i was staggaring about the room like a drunk man, trying to find the alarm so i could hit snooze. then i realized that the sound was coming from out of the door so i went to it but couldn't open it. it was locked and so i started to freak out. it took me about two minutes in this startled state to realize that i possessed the power to unlock the door myself just by turning the latch. it was then that it registered that it wasn't an alarm clock, but the fire alarm. so i jumped into some pants, grabbed my baseball bat and flashlight and commenced to beat all of the doors of my residents to wake them up. then we all hurried out into the cold rain, me being topless, and waited for a clearing from the authorites. i went directly to bed after that and awoke to a gorgeous saturday. my main responsibility saturday was to record all day long with kevin smith (producing) aaron proffitt (bass) zac ervin (drums) and wess pickerin (piano), down in studio a. it was everything i could have hoped for and more, and after that i went to hang out with catherine in hail which was even more great, but the greatness didn't stop! i went back to the dorm and the guys were about to have sauna time which i haven't done since last year and the turnout was fabulous. after that, we went to wendeys at about 2am and then came back to the dorms to sleep at three. sunday morning, none of my rides wanted to go to church because they were tired so i had to stay here on campus. i actually woke up to the power going out though. all of campus lost power this morning due to some accident, but it didn't last long. after that i went to eat lunch, came back and watched some football, went outside to throw some football with chubbs, and then i agreed to house two high school guys for the night because they are here for a singing festival but have no one to stay with. they're here now but not in the room. i think they're out enjoying the "college life" or atleast what they immagine that the college life is. i just finished my taekwondo/tai chi practice and am now sitting down to classical music, green tea, and cup-o-noodles. what a glorious day, even though i still wish i could have gone to church. i've actually got alot to say about church, but i really need to be getting to bed becasue i'm going to have to go back into serious mode come tomorrow, and i'm also on duty tomorrow night so it should be eventful. thanks to all of the folks who prayed for me over the weekend. the decision has been made and i am ever greatful that God has seen fit to spare me anguish. goodnight to all, have a blessed week, and peace and love...
