Shruti: I just bask in your presence!
Me: *flattered* Oh, well then, bask away!
I didn't study at ALL this weekend and it was deeeeeeeelightful! Guess how many weekends I got to do that last semester? Guess! Ooo--ZERO. I made it through my first round of exams and I did good. *gasp!* There are still many opportunities for that to change of course, but this time last semester I was having silent heart attacks and nervous breakdowns every half an hour. Yay for adaptation! :D
This past weekend was the best I've had in a while. Every weekend is nice of course, especially because it usually involves being in Kalamazoo with Mike and not in Big Rapids with school, but this one was extra special. Friday night I hung out with Shruti for hours and we talked so much that our dinners got cold. Man I missed that girl.
Saturday Mike and I did our Valentine's Day thing because I won't get to see him on the actual day this year. We went out to dinner at the Craftsmen Chop Co. in Portage, where we ate what was quite possibly the best food I've ever had in the Kalamazoo area. For two hours we just sat and talked and it was splendid. With me busy here at school and him working through his internship, we just don't get time like that to ourselves anymore, so it was wonderful to have some. He's always so charming and affectionate, but he was especially so that evening, and I just had the greatest time. :D I miss him so much everyday--there are moments when I want to be done with school so bad that it hurts.
Sunday was my Daddy's birthday!! :D So I got to talk with him on the phone for a looong time and it was so nice. We talked about school, moving home for the summer, me buying a car, and other wholesome Life Things. I miss he and Mom a lot too.
It wasn't as gut-wrenching as usual to come back to Ferris on Sunday night. I was sad to leave and didn't want to say goodbye as much as always (of course), but something seemed to shift in me this weekend that just made me a little calmer. I'm not sure what. Perhaps it's the thought of the future, and the knowledge that these are just things I need to do in order to get there.
And as an abrupt end to this journal entry, I leave you with this--Beth just surprised me with Chinese food. STELLAR. :D
