silly columbus day

seriously. i went to the post office this morning. woke up early so i would have enough time to walk to st anthony village, which is mere feet from the campus of luther seminary, so that i could mail a postcard.

but failed when the doors were locked because today just so happens to be a holiday. columbus day. really?

i count that as my exercise from the day.

of course i feel bad since the postcard really should have been mailed last week to my cousin reanna, who's doing a school project with her class trying to gather postcards from across the world. and at the rate i'm going, she's going to get at least one postcard from overseas before mine even gets in the mail. which it would have been today if it weren't columbus day. grr.

but i really shouldn't be complaining. i mean, columbus did crash into an island and "discovered" the continent that i call home.

but maybe i should be complaining. cause if i attended a public school, i'd probably have the day off. but no...i have class today.

don't get me wrong, i enjoy today's class. chuch organization. sounds boring to just hear the name, but it's really nice to have a class that discusses the nitty gritty of church work. like basics on how committees and councils operate (well, how they ideally work), what are different types of budgets, and where to look for some additional resources when trying to (slowly) bring about change that happens directly as a result of leadership and organization.

plus i have a small group meeting for pastoral care. where we try out different methods to discuss feelings and needs and try to find a peace of mind that comes from knowing what's bothering you and why.

speaking of my small group, it's time to meet so off i go!
