Last lab ever!

I just realized something. Today, as I crossed the threshold walking out of room 1532 Engineering Building into the hallway, I was leaving my last undergraduate lab session ever! Finally! I never thought this day would come! I remember way back in freshman year first semester; my first lab met Wednesdays and Fridays from 3:40-5:00pm. It was awful; I never got to start the weekend until late on Friday.
It seems like every semester, I had at least one lab class. And now I'm done! This lab doesn't meet either of the last two weeks of classes. Therefore, this additionally means that the next two Tuesdays, my only class will be volleyball! Suh-weet!
The truth is, I don't have that many classes left, period. A quick calculation puts me at 24 more lectures to go to. Wow, that's not very many.

Blister

I got a blister because I went to church this morning. I guess that's what I get for going to worship God and stuff. I debated not going this morning just because I have an exam tomorrow which I'm kinda stressed about (philosophy). But I knew that's a stupid reason to skip church. Like seriously, how many times in Sunday school did you learn that doing something else like going to your baseball game or something on Sunday morning was bad? And anyway, like I would have actually used that time to study instead of sleeping more or playing SmarterMind or something. Besides, I needed to talk to Pastor Dave about doing my reference for Egypt this summer. I had to get three references for the application, and his is the only one I'm waiting on. I believe it got filtered to his spam folder the first time I sent it. I forwarded the email reference form again just a week ago, but he still hadn't completed it. I stuck around after the service and finally got a chance t...

Mother's Day

Another Mother's Day. I keep forgetting I'm one of the mothers being celebrated today. I always just thing about my own mom, who's great by the way. It's my third year with my little boy; you'd think I'd be used to it by now. I didn't repeatedly remind my husband Mark that the day was coming or drop hints of great gift ideas. (I do have the perfect thing in mind.) I was hoping he'd remember the date and plan enough ahead to do something sweet--order flowers, buy a card, give me some little personalized piece of jewelry, whatever. But Mother's Day began like any other. No breakfast in bed. I didn't find flowers waiting for me on the breakfast table. It was Sunday, so there was church. Since we're in quarantine, we just have to tune in online at 11:00. I always wait for Mark to wake up so he can watch our son Greg while I shower and get dressed. He never rolls out of bed until after 10:00 and by the time he showers, there's no time left ...

St. Lucia

Image
This past Saturday, one of my friends, Rachel, invited me to her home church for their annual St. Lucy's Day celebration. Her church is part of the Evangelical Covenant Church denomination , so it has a rich Swedish heritage, and I guess Saint Lucia celebrations are a big tradition there. If you ever read those American Girl books about Kirsten, this should sound a little familiar. Saint Lucia was an Italian saint who suffered a martyr's death when she brought food and supplies to Christians hiding in the catacombs while wearing a wreath with candles on her head to light the way and keep both hands free. I guess this Swedish breakfast thing is a pretty big deal at Rachel's church each year. A lot of people are involved in it. They serve three breakfasts throughout the course of the morning so they can accommodate all the people who want to participate. Rachel, a couple other friends of hers, and I were eating at the second breakfast. Then we were going to help serve food du...
