The thoughts of an odd duck who sits alone in a night cafe, with a stylo in his right, a journal in his left, a valise under his chaise, a tasse on the table, and plenty of time to pass.
Seems like some of my prayers have been answered & I'm thankful. Today was a wonderful day! It started off with a talk with my spiritual advisor, Fr. Charles. He helped me develop my prayer and opened my eyes to new ways of praying... I feel somehow like a new person. I have a new sense of faith in God and confidence in myself & I am almost ready to accept my call to be a prophet. One more session with Fr. Charles tomorrow and I shall be set for the year... or maybe my life. Soo many high points of the day, I can't decide which part was the best part. Aside from my busy-person's retreat with Fr. Charles... ~Ken gave me a ride to campus so I wouldn't have to walk and be late to an appointment. I very much appreciated that. ~ I got to hang out a little with Mary-Catherine today! She drove up from Lemoore, CA; stopped by Newman, & helped me study for my psych midterm (which I had noooo intention whatsoever of studying for)! ~ Miraculously, almost all the questions on my psych midterm were things that Mary & I went over (man, i woulda been screwed)! ~ I hung out with Izzy and I'm soo sorry if it seemed like I've been avoiding her over the past few days but I was busy and I'm glad she's still around. It's cool that she's taking Tagalog classes & it was fun reading sappy tagalog dialogue this afternoon. ~ Went to a Circle K meeting with Mary & Izzy and I got to see the dynamics of a foreign (read: Non-Newman) group! Also got to draw & socialize a little bit. ~ I remembered today why thefacebook is AWESOME! ~ Ate at Pluto's for dinner.. pumpkin mayo is a very interesting taste. ~ Today, I reconciliated with an old foe.. let bygones be bygones. And it feels good not to have known enemies. ~ Practiced singing with 5pm choir.. I gotta hand it to Kathleen- she's doing an awesome job with that choir. ~ Apt223 recieved cookies from apt2-- Jackie's apt.. goood stuff! ~Everything else.
It's just been a good day. I woke up, did stuff, and I'm now going to sleep. It feels good to be alive.
