Another Saturday Study Date

You'd think that 10am on a Saturday is a reasonable time to be somewhere. And it is. -My major malfunction is that I can't seem to get up in the mornings these days. But yeah, mornings that I don't have to be anywhere are quickly migrating toward being 9am wake ups whether I like it or not. I suppose I need to give myself a good kick in the pants and just do it. Call it responsibility, and that'll make us feel better. Anyway, So today I met Dakota at Melody's for a study date. Yes, Definition of "study date" is oxy-moronic: It's a date on which you study material for class. But really, we get through a lot of material. I wasn't sure how well those would go at first, but they're actually quite industrious. I'll sit at one side of the table with my textbook and computer, he'll sit at his side of the table with his, and we study. Occasionally one of us will interject about something that makes no sense or something we thought was interesting, but for the most part, we study. Today was a little difficult, the top forty list was playing on the radio and apparently I know more of the songs than I should probably admit (Come on guys, I work at a coffee house) so I kept being distracted by the more upbeat songs. It took me almost four hours to get through twenty-five pages. I felt like a dunce. Dakota covered at least forty pages in that time. But anyway, Victory was achieved, and I'm officially on spring break. So at about 2o'clock we went to Wendy's for lunch- they have a really good value menu. I hadn't realized that. It was a lovely discovery though. We sat in Wendy's for a while just talking about movies and such, then about the third time the Wendy's guy asked if we needed refills we decided to regroup elsewhere- so we went to the Greenway and walked almost three and a quarter miles. Not something I'd have done by me onesy, but it was nice enough with Dakota. The Greenway has a bit of a bad reputation in Smithfield- understandably so, it's well wooded on either side and far removed from people. Vissini: "We are but poor lot circus performers. Is there a village nearby?" Buttercup: "There is nothing nearby. Not for miles." Vissini: "Then there will be no one to hear you scream." And of course, there's a lovely little sign saying that there are no weapons allowed on the Greenway. Because signs like that totally keep delinquents from carrying guns. Silly people. They are called 'Perps' because they perpetrate crimes. Like armed robbery (which is also illegal). So yeah, but it was a fun walk, arm-in-arm discussing social norms vs a christian world view (Also see: things that just make us go "what?") it was a good time. :) I think we've more or less decided we need to go back when spring really gets going, and then again in the fall when the leaves are turning.
But yeah, that was pretty much my day. Came home, ate dinner, played minecraft. It's been a good day. :) I think I need to go and see if my pillow will take me back- I left it this morning after a long fight.
