a wonderful day it was, indeed

ways in which my day just rocked the casa:

1. was told that it'd be ok if i didn't get my cuba paper in until monday.
2. about 6 emails were received from an ed prof this morning in an email conversation-- she started out by asking if i would be interested in being her aa next year (huge honor!, unfortunately i can't b/c i'll be gone for a semester), and then we got to talking about traveling.
3. got my first religion in the news essay back, complete w/ a grade and comments. the prof definitely wrote: "we've GOT to talk about getting you to seminary!" after class he said he really wants to just sit and talk b/c he really sees me going in that direction... he does know that i've thought about it since early high school (and more in the past couple of years). incredible. God has a crazy way of reinforcing things. for instance, beth wrote a letter to paula a few weeks ago that said she really hopes i go into the ministry someday. yeah, there's definitely a reason why i'm here at bv... God can work in ways that would otherwise seem unlikely (at such a secular school; who'da thunk??).
4. got back my spanish test grade. was definitely the lowest a i've gotten in his class on a test, haha... but an a nonetheless, and on a subject (or rather, novel) that i basically had not even the slightest clue about (even after reading it and taking notes on it).
5. talked w/ sally and scott-- told them of my definite acceptable into the isa's multi-country program... also talked w/ dixee, the study abroad coordinator. oh, that so rocked.
6. spent like 30 minutes or more trying on bv baseball caps in the bookstore w/ shaun-- in various ghetto ways (yeah, i definitely look like a dork w/ a hat on sideways, haha! word!). had a fun time talking w/ him as well... then went to the cent room and hung out there for more than an hour. had dinner (salmon!!-- hoorah for the servery on fridays during lent!!), then did talking and reading. was a fun time.
7. walked to grand central at 8 w/ a couple of freshman gals... had a very yummy and very hot vanilla chai latte and an all-too-delicious warm cinnamon scone. played taboo. enjoyed good conversation on the way back.

right now, "dirty dancing" is in the vcr and "havana nights" is anticipated for later viewing purposes. 3 people are occupying my futon and seem to be enjoying either the movie or each other's company or their laptop conversations, so... good times for all, i think.

thank God for good, good, good days... and for fridays.
