But surprisingly I haven't minded the cold too much. I don't know if I'm just used to it after two years, or if I'm just so happy to be back at North Park that I don't really mind the cold. Plus my apartment is often a million degrees, so sometimes the cold feels really good. :)
Other than surviving the cold, I've been busy with classes. Several of my books STILL have not arrived in the mail, which has been frustrating. Thankfully I've been able to find the readings online, but I'll be glad when they finally get here. But I'm enjoying my classes thus far and the homework load hasn't been too heavy yet.
Last weekend a group of us went downtown to Giordano's for pizza, which was really fun. Last night we (my roommates and I) surprised our roommate Marlee for her birthday, sort of. Technically her birthday is in July, but we don't see her then, so we were going to celebrate her half birthday, but it was actually last week. Needless to say, she was pretty surprised. So after grocery shopping, she and I ran to Target to get a couple more things while Abby, Melissa, and Sara made smoothies and chips and salsa stuff. Then when she came in we sang Happy Birthday and ate and talked. Later we watched "Failure to Launch," which was a funny movie. She wasn't quite as confused as last year when we surprised her with cake. We meant to do it on her half birthday but missed it, so when we started singing her Happy Birthday she looked really confused and kept saying, "Guys, it's not my birthday."
Today has been pretty laid back: I slept in, did my laundry, made cookies, and did some homework. Tomorrow promises to be a full day, with us making lunch at church. Overall a nice, uneventful weekend, which in my opinion is the best kind.
