Weekend of WIN

                This past weekend went rather well for me and I could not be happier about it. Last Friday I was not really anticipating the weekend to come. For me, it consists of going to an extremely boring class that if not for the good people in it I would probably go insane. Oh, and that class lasts just about all day -_-. The rest of my so called weekend is me trying to catch up on any homework that I may have not had time to do during the week, or finishing it up after working on them throughout the week. I usually can find a couple hours or so to just chill a bit before my Mondays come along and for those little hours I can find I am very grateful.

                However, this past weekend was 150% better than my typical weekend, which you have read about above. Starting on Saturday morning I went to my community college to get some working out done as well as some last minute studying before my all day Geology class. I really do find that class interesting, but I swear if those lectures get any longer I am going to lose my mind to the minerals in earth’s crust and plate tectonics :P Anyway, during my session learning about Mother Earth I got a text from a friend inviting me over to their place for a spaghetti dinner. I was informed others would be there (who they would be I had no clue) and to bring my tobacco pipe along with me. Being in the desperate state I was to get out of my class I immediately accepted the invitation.

                After finally finishing my class for the day I rushed home and had just enough time to get ready before I had to be at my friend’s house. Upon arriving I was greeted by a very sweet dog named Toby and by this I knew it would be a good night. As time went by others came and joined us and we also realized that everyone present knew each other in one way or another, which made for a very merry and interesting time. The dinner was fantastic, the people were great, and the atmosphere was as classy as it could be. In fact, with the 1940’s-50’s jazz in the background made the night feel almost unreal. It was amazing to say the least.

                 After the dinner, some of the guests left, but a few of us stayed and brought out our tobacco pipes. For the next few hours we just talked about life’s great mysteries; Why, How, and Women. Saturday night I had the most fun and intelligent conversation I have had in a very long time. I am very glad I was able to enjoy it with good company.

                Now, for my Sunday. As far as Sunday’s go it was typical to start out with. Got to play some Ocarina of Time: Master Quest for a bit (which is hard as biscuits by the way) before I was going to meet a very dear friend for some coffee later that day. Now, I am not going to lie I was extremely nervous to be meeting this friend of mine. Now, you are probably wondering why I would be nervous. Well, we had not been on the best of terms lately (at best our friendship had been quite shaky, that is how I felt at least) and this was the first time we had actually gotten together in about three months. So, as you can imagine every good and bad scenario of our meeting went through my head, but in the end it turned out much better than I expected.

                It was as if things never changed between us and I was glad for that. Although yes, we did bring up how we felt about our friendship and like adults we talked it through and things, I am so happy to say, are back to normal. We spent the rest of our time together catching up on what we both had experienced in the time we had been out of contact. Not all of it was good, but not all of it was bad. I am just happy that we can talk to each other once again.

                                I consider this friend to be my best friend and I appreciate him/her (you know who you are ;)) so much and I honestly think that I would not be the person I am today if it were not for them.

                Unfortunately our time did not last nearly long enough; my friend is a very busy person and had other matters to attend to. Although this did disappoint me a bit, the fact we had the chance to mend things between us made me happy enough so that our limited time did not bother me for long.

                The rest of my Sunday consisted of having dinner with some old friends of my parents from their YWAM (Youth With A Mission; if you know what that is already than good on you ;)) days. They are from Poland and I must say I enjoyed their company and our conversations - as political and farfetched as they were - very much. I do not think I will be forgetting them anytime soon.

                Anyway, that was my weekend of WIN. These events have motivated me for the future week and many weeks to come and I hope that I have more weekends like this one. Now, I must be off. I have some last minute assignments to take care of before my morning classes. I know, I am such a college procrastinator, but who isn't these days? I bid you all a fond adieu.
