Summary or Novel? (Part 2)

Yesterday...(Oct 24)

I had a really great time with my discipleship group in the morning, and then made spaghetti sauce and went to English. The actual English class was not so fabulous, the prof spent most of the class talking about how badly we did on the midterms, and then we had a quiz which I'd forgotten about, and needless to say hadn't done the reading for. I was dreading recieving my midterm back at the end of the class, but my dread was for no reason: my mark was 93%!! I was so shocked, and so happy. It made my french class afterwards bearable! After French Amber and I had Spaghetti, and then went to a really great Campus for Christ meeting. As usual, the meeting was followed by a social. This time we went to a 50's diner called Zak's, instead of going to a pub. We walked there as a group, and I was walking with Amber and this guy named Chris, who was SO HILARIOUS. He was doing some sort of strange rapping thing with another guy's drum, and then speaking in all these strange voices. When we got there, Amber ended up at a different table, but Chris, and the guy with the drum were at mine. Turns out the guy with the drum is named Jacques Villeneuve, but he doesn't drive a race car, sorry dad. (Or maybe that makes you happy?)

The table I was at was very crazy. First, we were told that we had no choice but to try a deep fried mars bar, which Zak's is famous for. I didn't want a whole one, and neither did Chris, so our table decided that we should share one. Yes, the table decided, not us. So then some how there was a lot of switching places, first so that it would be physically possible for Chris and I to share this infamous desert, then because some how Chris and the person he was sitting beside ended up married, and then divorcing, and then hating each other in a sort of loving way...yeah, I dont get it either. Long story short, we had a great time. Amber and I met up again when we left the diner, and the group walked 25 minutes in the POURING rain - pouring like Esperanza or Edmonton in a thunder storm - to get to someone's house where the plan was to watch a movie. Other than discovering one of my pairs of boots are no longer waterproof, because the sole is coming off, the walk was pretty good. And we saw a skunk! (And then everyone laughed at me for being amazed and excited by this!) Amber and I stayed long enough for our hair to dry, and then headed back out for the 10 minute walk home. By the time I was home I was soaked again, man was I glad that I'd decided to bring my rain coat.

Today!

I learned that it is possible to cut a few pieces out of a frozen pizza and cook them quite successfully in the toaster oven. YAY! While it was cooking I was trying to dry my only bowl, which I use 2-3 times a day, and dropped it on the tile in the lounge. Needless to say, I no longer have a bowl. After cleaning up the mess, I put my pizza in a container and ran downstairs to meet the other girls in my discipleship group, because we were going to our leader's house for some social time. For those of you who were thinking of how nice it must be for me at this time of year to not be stressing about the craft fair and making chocolates, guess what we did? Make chocolates! Definitely not 25 dozen though, thankfully. Then we watched a movie and went shopping, where I bought a fall-winter coat, and the warmest mittens ever! Too bad they aren't waterproof, but the are very thick wool lined with thinsulate. My other similar mittens which aren't quite as warm kept me dry yesterday though, so I guess as long as I'm not having a snowball fight, these will be fine. I'm glad that this yucky week ended so well! Hopefully next weekend will end the same way, and how could it not - there'll be free candy!
