Last Homework-Free Sunday
Well, it is our last Sunday without homework...at least for awhile, anyway. I'm excited for classes to begin, especially my Feminist Theology class! It's being taught by my favorite prof, Priscilla Pope-Levison. She has sort of become a mentor to me out here, and I have been very blessed by her these past two years. So having another class with her is going to be great. We have to read The Secret Life of Bees for class, which I just happened to read on the plane ride to Michigan last month...yay! It's a really good book and I highly recommend it. But I am glad that I will hopefully have some free time to read East of Eden, along with all the young adult novels I have to read for Young Adult Lit. Praise God - no more Dante and Dosteovsky this quarter!

Gwinn was open for an hour tonight, so Lael and I went to dinner with our friends in the dorms. It was a good time, and having some non-leftovers was good, too. Now I am in Emilou's room, hanging out until we go meet our friend Kristi at Starbuck's on Queen Anne. We don't know why she has called kind of an urgent meeting, but we have a feeling it is to apologize for New Year's Eve. Yeah, breaking six laws in less than 24 hours was a rockin' good time! We really did have a good time that night...it was just kind of surreal, and looking back on it, we can't really believe everything happened. Hey, we're alive, none of us were injured, I didn't receive a speeding ticket for going 90 mph on the highway on New Year's Eve, no fines for starting illegal fines on Whidbey Island or shooting large illegal fireworks at the Deception Pass Bridge, no cops found out we broke into the park and had open containers of alcohol...nope, we're all safe and sound - with the exception of Emilou, who wasn't supposed to leave Seattle at all that night. She got a good lecture from her mom, but eh...it was a memorable evening.

Laura moved in last night, and she seems really nice. I think everything will work out nicely, and we're all going to have a great rest of the year.

I better get going so Sonya can use her computer.

Yay for classes tomorrow!
