Fooseball To Nertz

Well, Well, Well...

What a week. I was interviewed by Aniesa at the Jacksonville Daily News for my blog on Thursday along with a photography session. http://www.jdnews.com/articles/wonders-73342-wade-explores.html Because of such great research on her part, I am now looking at the Jacksonville newspaper as one of my event sources.

Then, there is some major activity going on with my two classes (A&P2 and Chemistry)--Midterms are lerking ahead like death. In fact, I think I will be dropping Chemistry because I have a teacher that could improve significantly in actual teaching; I do not have enough time in my week to be teaching myself this difficult twaddle. I'm not completely failing, but I wanted a certain grade for Grad school...

On that note, out with the bad and in with the good....

Justin, Cory, and Aloise came to visit this weekend, my niece and brothers. We went to Shevens Park and went down the slide perpetually, along with the never-ending swinging. It's so nice to be able to occupy a kid's mind, on one thing for an extended amount of time.

The Event:
Fooseball/Surf Night at One Harbor Church.

I worked all day on Friday, from 6:30am-6pm. The event started at 6:30pm, 30minutes away from where I work. Not like my punctual self, I arrived late, 7:15pm late. I didn't bring a camera either--such a slacker. They had a surf video on, which was mesmerizing despite the sound missing and my sheltered past life that didn't include one mole (see, I learned something in chemistry) of surfing. Well, I accidentally sat between a married couple's seats, but they wouldn't let me get up after they came back. They are in my homegroup and we talked during the video about our backgrounds (I've only gone to homegroups twice). I was so late that the actual event was over after the movie.

The After Party.

I saw an old friend there and we chatted for a little bit. He introduced me to a group of his friends and they all invited me over to someone's house to watch Hockey. Only a few of us watched hockey; the rest of us played Nertz and Apples to Apples. I was up way past my bedtime, 12:30am!

Although, this doesn't sound like an out-of-the-ordinary event, or adventurous for that matter, it was for me, since coming back from Detroit. I've always felt like I was socially slow--maybe I have frontal lobe problems....

Regardless, this was much needed and I enjoyed the company of complete strangers minus the 3 I knew.

The other event (part of the proclaimed Double feature) is supposed to be Jammin at the Book Nook. I haven't decided whether I will actually do it, because I am working an extra long day again (6:30am-6pm) and I have a test the next day. We'll see how I'm feeling. Otherwise, a reschedule of that again...


Next Event:
Little Red Wagon Saturday (my own creation) March 6, 3-6pm Start at Swinson Park. I am still a loner at this event :( Well then, let's see how many cans one woman can collect.

And the Event After that: I know, I'm getting pretty far ahead, but I'm kind of excited about this one. I'm going Camping in the NC mountains with a group of about 20 people from Morehead. I haven't been camping in years and the scenery will be great too.
