Well, this has been a fun week. Fun in both senses of the word, as in both the good and the sarcastic use.

Why am I capitalizing? this must stop now.

sunday morning: church. i was there bright and early for once. which obviously never happens since i hate getting up in the morning, driving over and sitting around with nothing to do. which is what happened.

sunday was a big day. i'm not sure who all knew, but there once was an elderly woman way back in my first week here who told me that she was going to introduce me to her cute, nice grandson. let me be perfectly honest. he's a hottie. and was nice enough to suffer being introduced to me. no matter how awkward it was since his grandma as well as my parents and baby sister were right by us. hovering as good family members do.

after church, my parents and sister had to take off cause kiana had homework to do and it was already going to be a late night for them with the 7.5 hour drive ahead.

monday. a blur since i cannot remember anything i did that. hm. not a good sign. i know i worked and went to band. which reminds me that i need to find an all-black outfit for the concert on monday...

tuesday. work and a concert. middle school band concert that is. i learned that kids dont learn to play musical instruments until 6th grade here. which meant that 6th graders were playing the same music (or at least very similar) to what i played in 4th. and this band o 6th graders had about 120 kids. ginormous.

other highlights of the concert: sleeping through the 7th graders' part of the program (not technically a highlight since i was completely out), freaking out when waking up to the jazz band that was listed last in the program since i was there with the pastor's family cause their son plays in the 8th grade band and i thought i slept right through that only to realize that the jazz band was actually playing before the 8th graders which meant that i had only slept through about 5 total songs, and listening to the 8th graders play quite well. overall a nice concert without too much that would make me cringe.

snow and ice arrived once again. granted, it was the first day of december which meant that there was really no snow at all in november despite the freak snows in october. anyway, the snow arrived and melted on top of the ground and my car then froze cause it was cold. so i actually had to scrape windows and drive on ice. unhighlight (what is the opposite of a good highlight, anyway?) of the evening was driving back from the chruch where my car was parked back home. along said path is a small hill on a short road covered in ice and snow. and of course, my brakes decided to lock up or something and not help me slow down on this lovely patch of ice going downhill. fortunately no one was coming on the road i was turning onto, so i just avoided stopping and instead turned right onto the street i needed to turn onto. no one died. no car accident. success!

wednesday.work. lead second installment of my version of harlots and heroines. the bible study this week covered women through sarai/sarah, although we have yet to finish up sarah's story. next week. advent service. short service of the word with a few songs and message. soup and sandwich lunch. yummy. i like food. confirmation night. set up an obstacle course for them to go through. one with a heavy backpack to symbolize the heavy burdens that need to be lifted through forgiveness.

and i was in a good mood all day. boo-yah!

and now it's thursday and i'm somewhat bored at work. i think i'm going to start cataloging the church's library as a way to avoid working on my 3-month eval of how internship is going. just cause i dont want to think right now.

so i'm not gonna.
