Baby Steps to Easter
Seeing that the Lenten season is one of anticipation for rebirth, I thought I might share some major stepping stones I traversed today alone.
1) My roommates took a quiz that claims my personality evokes the "funk" of pistachio ice cream.
2) I officially, although unintentionally, convinced my roommates that all I ate this entire weekend was ice cream from the freezer. Though I do not support this statement, I will say that Moose Tracks is one of God's special blessings just for people like me.
3) A friend I haven't seen or heard from in a very long time got in touch with me, and we may get to actually see each other in the next 12 months!
4) I was reminded once again at what an amazing group of individuals I have the pleasure of serving alongside this entire summer. CO '06, I can't wait!
5) Yet another friend of my parents inquired as to how the post-graduation plans are coming, and I kept a straight face for the entire conversation. When you hear the same questions as much as I do, every once in a while you get emotional, but more often you just want to laugh. What are the odds that this many people could ask you the same question with the exact same context?
6) I had the chance to sit down and chat with a coworker I haven't seen in a long time.
7) I remembered to pick up the Padres ticket I promised to Donna before Julie ran out.
8) Mike and I got to hang for a couple minutes, and I think the hug comfort level we gave off was high enough to actually start some rumors in my office. Woohoo, more fires to put out tomorrow!
9) My boss successfully ridiculed me for being a prude without being completely uncomfortable. Like everyone else in my life, I think he's finally reached a comfort level with me (it's only been almost 4 years) where he can tease me about the stupid comments I make that never come out the way I mean them to without turning red in the face or stopping mid-sentence. It's about time! I'm only going to be around 4 more weeks!
10) I just spent yet another day working at the laptop in my room surrounded by unreturned library books, clean used-to-be-folded laundry, and lecture notes without putting a single thing back in its rightful place.
We're gaining ground for the greater good, people. This is for the greater good!
