Fast Times in the IC

So, a lot has happened since my last post. There was buying Microsoft Office for $8.50 and hanging out with people until late on Saturday; there was church--where at one point, I lost my footing and crashed to the ground, hurting my knee--walking for an hour and a half, swings, croquet, and sand volleyball on Sunday (my knee was killing me by the end of the day); there was the job interview--I didn't get the job--killing ants, and more hanging out on Monday; and yesterday was chilling with my dad after he brought me a dresser and a microwave, then clearing my stuff out of the room at the bottom of the basement steps--except for under the stairs. No longer is it impossible to walk a straight line from my bedroom door to the downstairs bathroom.

Now for one of the big things. On Saturday, I had planned on going to a wedding, but the person I had arranged a ride with was working--which I found out on Sunday--so I couldn't go. Instead, I decided to go downtown to get internet, since I didn't want to go to the coffee shop nearby and feel like I need to buy something to justify my existence there. So I hopped on the bus, and promptly put my bus pass in the wrong slot, where it was eaten and lost to me. To punish myself (and save the 75 cent return fare), I walked home. I found a bridge over a wooded valley, got stopped by a train, and saw my former roommate--but then, my path home did take me right past his fiancee's house and his new apartment. I couldn't get a replacement pass until Monday, and it would cost $2, so the bonehead move ended up costing $3.50--including a one-day pass on Monday to get to my job interview.

Lately, I've been hooked on an album. Here's a link to it on youtube. My three favorite songs on there are: The Motions, I Will Rise, and Strong Tower, but the whole album is amazing. It's all I've been listening to for the past few days, but I still can't wait for the Adoleo album. Less than 2 weeks!!!! I may end up juggling the two albums for a while after This Hope comes out.

Anyway, school starts in a little more than a week and a half, and I still haven't wrapped my mind around the fact that I'm going to be a Hawkeye. I've got my schedule all printed out, I'm using their wireless internet, and I've got a student semester pass, but it still doesn't seem real. God really does take you to places you never before thought were possible.
