Spending more time on campus than when I was a student
Greetings from Kanley Chapel. This is the fourth day in a row that I have been to this building at some point or another, though admittedly only on Monday and today has that really been for any real length of time. I have been on campus for about 2 1/2 hours now, and will be here for another 7 or so. I decided to go to the International Luncheon this afternoon and met a rather nice girl named Yuko who hails from Tokyo. It was a pleasant conversation, and I hope to have more with her in the future, as well as with many more international students.
The "highlight" of the lunch, I would have to say, was when Kathy squished a donut on my face. She actually did it twice, though thankfully the second time, which was by far the creamier of the two, she let me take my glasses off first. Hopefully it did some nice work on my skin.
Haven't heard anything from the greenhouse job, but I did have a phone interview on Monday with Chuck E. Cheese. I would say it went pretty well. It certainly was a whole lot better than the one I had with Target a couple of months ago. I even got a thing in the mail the next day with some things for me to sign from their "Pre-employment" packet. Although I can't say I will probably like the hours (it is a mid-management position) the thought of working there has started to grow on me, especially because odds are looking good that they might hire me. It would presumably be good money and would be good experience, plus I would probably get to work with kids, and maybe I just might be able to get a discount for my sister if she ever wants to have any of her kids' birthday parties there again. The only question is, would I be able to get time off for things like Chapter FOCUS Week or SLT? I'm probably thinking too far ahead, so I won't worry about that for now.
My grandma has been in the hospital a bit lately. Not that I really think she is going to pass away because of it, but last night I did kind of let it sink in as to what would happen if she were to die soon. It has kind of put a melancholy feeling into my mood since. But you know, I'm not worried too much. If it means she's feeling better, and that it works to fulfill God's will, that's a good thing. Plus, she would be with grandpa. I just hope I get to see her again soon just in case.
To end on a higher note, last night as I was walking to the Valley I Bible study I happened upon a lady walking up my street who wished my company as she walked, to help her feel safer. We had a nice little conversation that ended on God, and it set me into a state of spiritual giddiness for a few hours after. What a good time. I do hope that my work schedule, presuming I get hired at Chuck E. Cheese, allows me to attend that Bible study on a more regular basis. But again, I'm getting ahead of myself.
I didn't mention that I made thank you cards (and one birthday card) before writing this. I can't draw very well, but I think the sentiments will shine through nevertheless. And I think there will be smiles all around.
