So I was at Starbucks from 2-5pm today. I ran into Jordan Fehlen, so I sat down next to him. Once the big table became available, I moved there, but I just moved my computer. I left my purse, Bible, and Journal in the chair next to Jordan. I did a little bit of Theology 3 homework but my attention span on it was going in and out. I kind of gave up on homework at about 4. Funny and fun things started to occur so I'm going to list them.
Anna Duzik randomly texted me to tell me she missed me. I invited her to go to the pumpkin patch with Tasha and I on Saturday. She's coming! Super excited about that. P.S. I've never been to a pumpkin patch so I'm bubbling with excitement about that.
Kristen Nix and I were chatting on facebook and talking about if she was coming to the pumpkin patch or not (she's still not sure, but hoping she does come) but we also kind of half planned to hang out at her house sometime this weekend because her parents are going to be gone. I'm gonna be super excited if it works out. Living in the dorms at school make me miss being in a home, with a kitchen, and a couch, and parents. Side note: It's interesting what you miss while in school and then what makes it better. Being able to sleep in a house and eat in the kitchen helps with the homesickness, even if it's not my house. I don't know how, it just does.
This happened last night, but it's still cool. Ryan Abuyen lets me borrow his car all the time. Whenever I need it, he lets me use it, unless he needs it of course. We take turns putting gas in it. Last night he asked me if I would drive him to the train station Burbank, CA, using his car. It's about 30 minutes away. He's going to go home for five days and he said I could just use his car for the whole time he's gone. He's such a blessing. To have access to a car helps me out so much.
Okay, back to today. My Dad called me. I answered the phone; "Hi Daddy" and Jordan laughed at me. He called to tell me that he booked my plane ticket for Thanksgiving break. I'm driving to Portland with Jake Moyer and then we're flying back to California because he's leaving his car at his house. I'm sooooo excited to be able to go home for Thanksgiving. I didn't get to last year.
When I was sitting at the table at Starbucks, a stranger asked me if he could sit down at the table with me (it's a big table and has room for two people with laptops). My first thought was "STRANGER DANGER". That's what my Mom engraved into my head as a small child. I looked at Jordan and he started to laugh at me. I told the guy that he could sit down at the table with me. I wasn't going to be rude. That wouldn't be nice. Besides, there was plenty of room for both of us to sit at the table. He asked me if I was from Oregon because I had on my Oregon Ducks sweatshirt. I told him that I'm actually from Washington, but I grew up 10 minutes from Oregon and I like the Ducks.
About 20 minutes after the guy sat down, Jordan and I left because dinner was going to be soon.
On the way home from Starbucks, I accidentally cut Jordan off. I apologized when we got back to campus. He told me that he thought I was trying to race him. I don't race, especially in a car that's not mine. I always think of what could happen; my life at steak and the lives of others. Also after we got home, Jordan told me that I made it look like to others that he is gay because I left my purple purse and pinkish Bible on the chair next to him. I guess it gave the impression to other people that it was his. I told him that he should of asked me to move it. He told me that that would give the impression that we're dating......I'm not sure how that logic works, but whatever. When he was telling me this though, I was laughing so hard I was crying. It's good to laugh like that. I wish I laughed like that everyday.
After dinner, I went to counseling. It was good. I cried but it was good to cry. I love going to counseling.
Later, I went to the Loop. Beth Mead was teaching people how to knit. She's trying to teach me. I'm learning. It would be nice if I could get good at it. I don't really have any hobbies or anything I'm good at. I don't do any sports, play any instruments, and I'm not an artist, so it would be cool if I learned. She said that even though the kitting needles look like weapons, they are allowed on planes, so I could take it on the plane. Right now I'm learning how to knit little baby booties for children in Africa. Our school is trying to get people to make as many booties as possible and then they will get sent to Africa.
Well that is all the fun and funny things that happened today. It's been a good day.
