Have you ever had so many thoughts race through your head, so many events in one day... that you feel like it should have been spread out over a couple days? That was how everything worked for me today. It's not even that everything which took place was extremely important either, today just had a lot of little events happen.
Let me recall...
I woke up this morning with the intention of studying for the GRE. I made Neil and I french toast for breakfast and not long after that I went out to the SIUe library to study. I quickly became aggravated with the material and felt like I needed a tutor. So I sent Neil a text explaining my frustrations. He called me and told me to come home so that he could try to help me. So I did. It was difficult watching him try to figure out problems that I also couldn't understand. It makes me feel like the GRE creators are just cruel bastards. Seriously... I found out that one of my classmates just took the test a couple days ago and got a 630, so she's retaking it. I want to get at least 1000, but if I get an 800 even, I'll be happy. No stress....whatever happens happens. I'm still going to try my best, but if I don't get a certain score, it won't be the end of my college career. (crosses fingers) I'll just be happy when Wednesday comes around and I can start to enjoy my summer. Yeah, I know it's almost August... I've had an eventful summer.
I made some homemade salsa for my quesidilla today because Neil had finished off the store bought brand... and the homemade salsa, which was quite spontaneous yet simple, turned out great! I might just have to make a jar of it :)
Small group was good tonight. We actually had a "small group." That doesn't usually happen a lot, but our group had grown so large we had to split in half. But it was really cool because I felt more comfortable sharing about the things that were going on in my life. I hope that small group continues to be a place like that for me... I really pray that God helps me to form some christian friendships. I have a few but not really close christian friends. I actually got really excited about a month ago because a girl I was close friends with in junior high is moving to this area... well she should almost be here! I remember having a lot of discussions with her about faith and we clicked pretty well together. It would be nice to hang out with her again sometime, and I would definitely invite her to our church and small group.
After that, Neil and I came home and watched the MASK. That movie is incredibly goofy and over the top... I haven't seen it since I was a child. I had no idea how many raunchy references were in that film that must have gone over my head when I was younger....
So anyway, it's off to bed for me... my day in a nutshell... long.
