Many Rivers to Cross...Today was a mix of good feelings and bad. The good feelings came mainly from getting together with friends for a potluck dinner at our house. The bad feelings came from the stresses incurred by being in heart of the quarter. School work is getting heavier and the weather is also beginning to get a little colder. Today was sunny but the cold just sucks out any enthusiasm one would have toward life. It slows the body down and puts everything into submission.
Last night was a truly enthralling night -- we went out with Leo, Jordan, Amanda, and Rem to see Gus Van Zandt's Milk starring Sean Penn. It was an all-around great movie -- the cinematography, the casting, and the sequencing was all so perfect. After the movie we went to see Justin Gordon and Zeb Dewar play acoustic performances at the Donkey Coffee Shop. That, too, was completely mesmerizing.
I am really tired now but I am probably going to stay up a while working on a spanish midterm that is due Monday. Tomorrow should be really busy -- midterm, readings, group study meeting, meeting for Cuenca, and a lot more planning for the week. The highlight of my day tomorrow will be in the morning when I will spend time with Caitlin and her mom and dad. It is Susan's birthday on Monday so I am gonna try to make a card for her tonight.
