The Eighth Week

And so we've made it to week eight. This was a pretty busy week. So busy in fact that there is even a day that I don't even remember. There are some weeks that just sort of leave you wishing that every week could be like them. This week was half that, and half hoping that it is the only week like this. For one, I've had a minor cold all week. Nothing bad. Just a small cough and a recurring runny nose. I can't complain though, because I still did a lot of fun things. I also spent a lot of time appreciating nature. That's a pretty decent theme for a week like this. And I must apologize that some of the pictures from this week overlap days, but some were too nice to leave out. They may seem irrelevant to the day they are on. My apologies. So here goes...

SUNDAY: Sunday was a relatively boring day. I went to church in the morning, which was actually extremely tiring. It's a good thing there was a lot of standing up and sitting down or I never would have made it through the whole service. After that I bought my amigo Eddy lunch in the caf. I've been buying a lot of people meals lately. Primarily because I have a surplus of points on my card while everyone else is running low, which makes me a very popular person. I have no objections to this.

MONDAY: This blog is called "The days that Mini-Mitchell remembered." Try as I might I can't remember anything interesting that happened on this day.

TUESDAY: I had another paper to write on Tuesday, which is naturally what I always look forward to doing. I just love writing papers. They make my day. Especially papers on whether or not Christianity helps or hurts the environmental movement. It was a trick question though. Christianity helps and hurts the environment. Christians help the environment by being loving and nurturing towards God's precious creation. We hurt it because for some reason the Bible is the top selling book of the last one thousand years and it's like a thousand pages long.

WEDNESDAY: First of all, I had class at a yoga studio. That's what the picture is of. It basically just made me realize how not flexible I am. So... moving past that self-esteem lowering event. Then things got interesting. So I'm texting Riley while I'm at work and while he's on his lunch break. He's talking about how he's on spring break and he's bummed that he couldn't come up to visit me at Pepperdine. In response I say(through texting), "Wen u get home pack ur car and drive up. imagine the story thatd b"(I don't actually use the abbreviations, I just thought it'd make this more interesting). After another hour and a half of talking him into it I finally got him to come. He arrived at 2 a.m. on...

THURSDAY: Having Riley around made this day pretty sweet. Since he's on spring break I figured the natural thing for him to do when he was here with me would be to come to work with me. So he did. We set up and cleaned out four tents and watched a couple episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show(or the Jerk Van Gay show if you have a T.V. Guardian). Then I took him to have lunch at the law school, which was delicious. Then I had class, which I didn't force him to come to. I did get my philosophy paper back though... A-. Made me happy. Then we went to Ralphs and bought amazing things, and then I showed him Heroes Garden, and then we went to a showing of a thing called the Randumb show. And then Riley left.

FRIDAY: I enjoy eating. Having barbecues makes eating that much better. Not only is the food amazing, but hanging out with friends around a grill also has a really relaxing feel to it. I only ate one burger this time though. Had I had any more it probably would have been much more unhealthy for me. I found out in one of my classes this week that it takes a really long time for meat to digest in a person's system if not eaten a certain way. Sometimes it can even start to rot in a person's stomach. Think about that next time you eat a burger.

SATURDAY: On any other week this would have been the funnest day. Riley wins though. That doesn't change the fact that this day was awesome. I went on a hike with some people from Campus Ministry. It was really fun. Every ten minutes or so we'd stop and either say something we were thankful for or we'd share a verse. It was my spiritually uplifting time of the week. I got to know some people I hadn't really known before and I also met a guy who's going to London next year. The hike ended at a cross on the top of a mountain with quite a good view of the ocean. It was truly inspiring. And then I came back down from the hike and checked my facebook(just kidding. That was just for irony. I actually went to a baseball game). But now the sun has set on this fine week. Here's to the future that seems like it will never come.
