Jane's Party and Bekah's Gig
This week has been crazy for me, and I'm enjoying a day today where I can catch up on cleaning and blogging and homework and the many other things that I have had to put off. I've been listening to music and inviting people out to a movie tonight- which right now I'm reconsidering because of the massive amounts of snow that have been falling thoughout today. I was going to go the grocery store, but instead I have stayed ensconced in the cocoon of my apartment. I'm not looking forward to digging out my car later.
However much I may complain about busy-ness, a great many of the things that I'm busy with are things that I choose to participate in, and really am very blessed to be able to do. One ofthe things that I really enjoyed this last week was Jane's Going Away Party. She gets to lounge around in Australia for 4 months and 80 degree weather, so we all got together to tell her how jealous of her we are. She does have to take classes, but still Surfer Guys and sunny beaches are sounding pretty good right now. It was a surprise party, and Stacie brought her to the apartment where the party was, since they had been at Bible Study that night. I was blocked when we surprised her, but from what se said and seeing her later, it seemed like she was really surprised. She is such a wonderful girl, I am really going to miss her, even though I haven't had the chance to get to know her that well yet.
Another fun thing I did was go up to Holland on Wednesday for Bekah's Gig. I was proud of the number of us that managed to make it up from Kalamazoo, even if- for various reasons- we took entirely too many vehicles. I enjoyed the chance to hear the montage of songs about Hope, and to enjoy the heated leather seats of the Jetta. That is definetly a perk that if I can afford it, I would love to have in my next car. (That all depends upon my eventually getting a job that I can support myself with, of course.) Now, if only they can make a car that has cooled seats in the summer. Bekah did a great job- she sang some of her own songs, as well as a few by Carol King, which we used as a chance to become spontaneous backup singers. Her show was in the Kletz in Hope's Campus, and I had some high quality caffine there. After the show some of us went to a certain infamous bar in Holland. Bekah recommended this Rasberry Ale and I actually enjoyed it, even though I usually don't enjoy drinks that are near the realm of beer. The combination of caffine, alcohol, heated seats, and unique conversation made for an interesting ride home, but thankfully Scott was driving, so I didn'thave to worry about paying attention to where we were going. (Okay, I just read back over what I wrote, and I sound like a semi-literate 9th grader, but right now I don't have the time to change this)
