never a dull moment

on a friday night in the dorms... especially when i'm on duty.

exciting events:
very intellectually stimulating convo w/ karissa- wow!
saw fumika and yoko and just about cried i was so happy to see them...
spent some time w/ them
...and w/ mike
snuck out into the suites w/ them all (i call it "sneaking out" b/c i had the phone and should have technically stayed in the building-- but hey-- how often do my japanese friends get to visit here?), to surprise a few people living there
confronted HOW MANY people about alcohol?-- and became suspicious of HOW MANY people (involving alcohol)?????
long talk w/ my friend (name withheld)... who was, unfortunately, a little tipsy at the moment. i offered her a cookie and milk. she said that, to save calories, she'd just take the cookie. (!??!) hello... you just drank at least 1,000 calories worth of beer............... and you're going to take the cookie but NOT the milk? geesh..........
long talk w/ erin. wow. God really works in awesome ways. i see Him doing a lot through her this semester. and perhaps through me. she and i are in exactly the same situations. i really appreciated our talk together.
the joys of listening to the people get off the drunk bus-- err, i mean the "rides" bus-- well, drunk... right outside my window.
ate about a million cookies. delicious ones, at that. mmm mmmm goooooooood.

favorite thing tonight: we were all walking through 2nd floor swope tonight when we walked by dawnielle's new room. two other gals were in there. as we went by, i stopped in my tracks and said "meet yoko and fumika!!!" and the response by yoko (which didnt surprise me a bit) was this: "hi. we... are from... japan." i looked at her w/ the greatest look of shock. really? from japan? who'da thought? it was tooooooooo funny. ahhhhhhh... i am sooooooo glad they are here! i talked w/ nori online, too... gosh, i miss her... wow, how i've been blessed w/ friends from across the world. amazing. i've even been thinking about the jet program after college.... ? it seems that every other bv spanish major ends up teaching english in japan through the program... what's one more???

just finished last rounds for the night. time for beddy-bye..................
