Golden Machine...

Today was a good day although I didn't get a lot of school work done. I played the last game of our soccer season (we won 2-1) and we ended up finishing in second place for the league at 5-1. I didn't score a goal today just because I was feeling so crappy still from not getting enough sleep from the night before.

Caitlin took me out for a great breakfast at The Village Bakery (I got the wakeup call) and then I ironically fell asleep for about two hours after that. I stirred up a little bit, got a tiny bit of school work done, and then met up with Ben and Tiana for watching a documentary about Ardipithecus ramidas (our farthest back human ancestor in which we have fossil data for) and then we all went out to dinner with Caitlin at Casa. It was so nice to meet up with Ben and Tiana because they are great people! Hanging out with them / being around them makes me feel good and I am wishing I can hang out with them more and more in the future. I am especially excited to maybe go on our Athens Pinball Shuffle that we were talking about -- Ben is an avid pinball player and can locate all of the pinball machines in Athens (he says there are ten). One day, we will go to all ten of them, play a couple of games, maybe have a picnic, and do other fun things. I don't know exactly but what I do know is that it'll be a great time!

Wonderful day!

Day 299 | Friday, October 23 | 2009

In the Mirror...

Caitlin and I have been dating 20 months since today! I can gladly say that I have deeply valued all of this time I have been blessed to be with her. She is quite a loving girlfriend, an amazing individual, and an even better friend. She's been there with me through thick and thin and I don't know where I would be without her or without her love.

Today is also Ben's birthday and Caitlin and I will go out to his, Matt's and Emily's house to celebrate. I'm looking forward to seeing Ben, Tiana, Emily, Chris, Matt and Sam -- it's really been too long and I'm starting to feel bad about not seeing them. They are all a great group of friends to me.

Today was good; teaching kindergarden was interesting. I thought them colors today: rojo (red), amarillo (yellow), azúl (blue), verde (green), naranja (orange), violeta (purple), café (brown), and negro (black). I don't think any of the eighteen children remembered many of the colors. They all seemed to pick up on the easy ones (rojo; azúl) but just seemed to not pay too much attention to what I was saying. Half the class still thinks I am a girl.

I took this picture outside of Caitlin's dorm while waiting for her to come down.
