A quick recap of a nutty week.
Boy did I have an interesting week. It was full of highs and lows, anger and laughter, and a little bit of depression. At the end of the week looking back, I am exhausted by the events that took place.
The biggest piece of news is that on Tuesday, Creighton University revealed that they had chose me to remain on the alternate list for admission. This means that when a seat becomes available (through other students who choose not to accept enrollment), there is a good chance it will be offered to me! This is very exciting, and I have my hopes up… but I also am worried because it is a lot of unsure waiting.
On Wednesday, I took the opportunity to visit a site that is holy to me. It was an overcast day, and I was in Omaha anyway, so it was a good chance for me to make my pilgrimage. I visited the duplex where my grandmother used to live. I do this from time to time, just to remember her. The death of my grandmother was a horrible event in my life, and things haven’t been all that great since. I miss her very much. Anyway, it is always hard on me to visit, but I feel like visiting the place she used to live helps me remember good memories, where visiting her grave would only remind me of her death. Her name was Rose, and she was a fun grandmother to have.
Thursday was day full of intermittent bickering with my wife and a visit to the zoo in Omaha. The zoo was great. My favorite parts are always the monkeys and gorillas, and the huge aquarium. The zoo also has a beautiful garden that has, among hundreds of other plants, dozens of species of roses. It was a nice day to go to the zoo, and I did have fun. It was too bad that all of the arguing made it a chore to enjoy.
And to end the week, today I played racquetball for two hours with my friend Scott, and I am worn out! My body feels like I fell off a building. I hope to get the chance to play much more racquetball this summer. I also took some time to make a CD for another friend, and to run some financial errands.
I hope that my upcoming week is not so busy, and that I have more time to stop and write clever blogs. I also hope to do some more Japanese cooking next week. To close this entry, I want to list a few goals I have for the summer… maybe you can help me stick to them.
To stop drinking non-diet pop entirely.
To learn even more Japanese.
To exercise daily, even if it is only stretching and sit-ups.
To find some inner peace. : )
See ya!
