Sweet Cinnamon

Ahhhh, Monday.

Today was Monday.  It was also the first day of May Term classes.  This extraordinarily, smart girl got herself registered for a CAPstone class at 7:30 in the morning 4 days a week.  Smooth, right?  Good thing that I'm in it with my good friend, Racheal.

I had every intention of getting up at 6am, get ready, journal/TAG time, and walk to class.  Reality was that I hit snooze until 6:20, was moving slow, decided to drive, and threw my journal in my bag.  I could not find a close parking spot.  I had my sights set on Seerley, but Seerley was seeing some roadwork.  I finally parked in the bookstore lot.  When I got to the building where my class was, I caught up with Rach.  The science building is WEIRD!  I walked past 2 skeletons studying anatomy, a window full of fish tanks, and a polar bear.  Seriously?  The class will prove interesting.  Nuclear energy.  I don't know that much.  I'm not looking forward to the 30 minute presentation.

In between that class and Schools in American Society, I had about an hour and a half of downtime.  It was wonderful!  I hid out in Schindler.  I snuggled up in a chair, wrote in my journal, and read about some of the women of the Bible.  It's a One Year book, and I just got it Friday, so I'm doing some catching up and it is wonderful!  It's bringing new perspectives to women that I had never thought much about before.  It was really great to dig into their stories, and read of modern day scenarios applied.  It was a wonderful TAG time!  My schedule is a blessing in disguise, I am discovering.  Schools proved that it will be interesting.  A lot of work will be involved.

After class, Rach and I went to the bookstore.  I'm so glad that I have someone to split the cost of books with, especially when we can rent some!  I went out to my car and discovered that I received a warning.  I think they thought that I had parked overnight.  I'm glad it was just a warning, and from the bookstore at that!  More motivation to walk?  I think yes!  On the way back to the apartment, I detoured and went to Scratch.  Go figure!  I decided on Cinnamon, and don't regret it!  I haven't found a bad flavor yet, and I don't plan on being able to find one!  :)

The rest of the afternoon was wonderful!  Reading a good hunk of The Grapes of Wrath, going on a walk with 2 of my roomies, and just enjoying the day!  :)

Monday, I think we might be friends again!
