Well, I’ll start out with last weekend since I’m gonna do a full week, in fact I will reference my post about last thursday that I wrote last Friday as a point from which I will start this.
So, Friday, I pop into my friends work to find out why they bailed at small group. I ran into the person who was mentioned to have the other problem that went down. Talked to them for about an hour, felt good about that. Rest of the day turned into a waste, I mostly did nothing and then went to work for a while. Finally got the call from my Mom that the ring was ready to go and she had it in her possession, talked to her about how to get it from her. (Note to self, remember to send thank you note to jeweler for getting that done as fast as she could) Friday night I went to Godsearch free worship, and we prayed for some leaders and stuff, that was cool, then I went back to Laurens and watched the end of “Holes.” Saturday, I got up late, went to the library, couldn’t do any homework….couldn’t focus at all, mostly wrote sappy love poetry, which is posted on my fiance’s blog got no homework done…but came up with a plan for popping the question. Immediately went home, borrowed dirks car, went to Jeff and Q’s to ask for permission to use their appartment in my scheme. Ended up talking with Jeff for two hours about the Godsearch message board and how I thought some stuff wasn’t good, he mostly disagreed, but that is OK cuz he made some excellent points and so did I, but mostly it was good cuz I said my peace and I needed to get that out after the incidents on Thursday. Went home, got Rob and the Squirrel (a.k.a. Chris, a.k.a new roommate this year) and went out shopping for fancy paper, stationaries, and envelopes to put the clues in. Went home, dropped off secured items and went to Laurens….had a huge fight with Lauren about the stuff I talked earlier with Jeff about. I was sooooo pissed cuz I had just spent the whole day dreaming up probably the most romantic thing I have ever done in my whole life, and she was being really annoying about something like a messageboard on the internet, but we eventually cooled off and went to get some taco bell. We rented “Down with Love” and that was cool…had a good time the remainder of the evening. Then I went home and spent a couple hours looking at some of the stuff I was talking about with Jeff….concluded that while I was partially right, some of the stuff he said was definitely true and could not be overlooked.
Sunday, church….great, went to James afterward for lunch. Had a great time there, and left to go to the “Matrix: Revolutions,” which gets a B – /C + from me, the series still gets and A- as a whole because the first one was soooo bad ass, and the second two didn’t ruin the first one IMO. Aaron showed up….delivered ring, and then we all went to 703, had a good night…finished prepping everything for the next day. Went to The Office after service, had a beer and some nachos. Good times. Aaron left for home, I think he had a good time too at service and aft ward at the Office.
Monday, woke up very late…already missed my first class, but this was the day, so I had not planned on attending any of my classes. Finished my poem…it was harder now then Saturday because I was on a deadline. Finished that….another hour and a half eating lunch and making clues. Did you know that those gold pens are really hard to write with….neither did I, well they are, if you are male, you probably should never try it, you’ll just make a mess. Then I took a shower…put on all the smelly stuff, and went to Shnucks. There I picked up some tape and flowerer’s. The tape was for taping the clues to places, the flowers are the obvious part. Got dropped off at Jeff and Q’s, placed the clues, talked with Q for a while. Waited until Lauren was supposed to think I was at a lecture on the new transistor speed record….like I’m interested in transistors….isn’t that ece340, which I recently failed?…she bought it anyway, and didn’t think I was supposed to come over until 6, so at 5:30 I made my move. The rest is detailed in Laurens blog, and in my earlier posts.
The rest of the week can be summed up with this: LAZY!
I have done NOTHING. I have attended no classes, turned in no homework, and studied nothing. This is bad, but I can’t focus to save my life. I didn’t think that getting engaged would make my brain stop working but it did. So now I’m trying desperately to jump start my brain before my two tests next week.
On a different note when Lauren called her parents to announce the engagement they immediately told her that the date we wanted conflicted with her younger sister starting college. I at first thought that this was tacky and couldn’t believe that this was important that day, but that it could have waited a day or two. But the kicker is that they had her sisters starting date wrong. She can’t even get in the dorms till two whole weeks after our wedding. Just kind of annoyance, and I felt like venting. The good side to this is that there is no scheduling conflicts and no excuses for people not to be there (in our families and close friends at any rate), so I’m really thanking God for that.
So I’m finished now….and I will leave you all with
Thank you and Goodnight.
