Good Thursdays

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

I liked today.  I biked to school in the cold frigid late autumn that is Ottawa.  I had 3 very encouraging and valuable conversations with dudes who I’m working with at Carleton.  Two were about similar things, but I know both conversations were very tailored and personalized.  I felt very prepared for those meetings.

I ate a stirfry from the Res Commons Oasis caf, and the dude (Nassem) served me twice as many vegetables (I just asked, can I get a bit of both kinds?) and did a good job, even if it took a while.

I was quite tired and so during the prayer time in the afternoon, I almost fell asleep.  Gotta watch out for that…

Had the chance to drive one of my students from work with me to Young Adults at the Met.  I brought vanilla ice cream with me “to-go” in a coffee mug and ate out of it as I drove.  David (the student) was quite amused.  It was my dessert after dinner!

After Young Adults, I had the chance to play bass for the first time in like AGES.  I was told that I’ll be playing bass for next Thursday… I had forgotten!  And the crew I’ll be playing with sounds absolutely and totally talented.  I’m looking forward to rocking out with them.

I listened to Sebastian Demry’s version of “Your Name” as I drove home afterward.  Part of the song is in French and I think I’ll be putting more French into my Ottawa U worship sets gradually.  I’m quite excited about that as well.

When I arrived home, I realized I drove home with the parking brake engaged the whole time.  I had not heard it because of the pumping music.  You know that feeling?  “Ugh… dang…. I can’t do anything about it though”.

Right now there are a few things that still need to be done for tomorrow.  But I think I’ll leave it for tomorrow.  I want to sleep before midnight for once (the past week or so has been late… because I’ve been reading Brisingr!)
