My Last Special Friday
July 20, 2007
I am mourning the end of camping weekends only for the loss of my isolated Friday’s. On the Friday’s of camping weekends, I get the entire student office to myself. I am able to update my blog, read other people’s blogs, pick my nose, fart really loudly and scratch my ass without anyone telling me off because the other 3 students are setting up camp and totally out of my way. This morning Bossman isn’t in yet either, so I can do absolutely nothing and pretend I’m working hard!
Don’t worry, I do actually work on these isolated Friday’s, but on my own time and at my own pace. I take breaks. I soak in the moments with the members. The funny one liners they have, their laughter. It’s amazing when you have time to slow down and appreciate what you’re actually here for. It’s them, its what they take out of being here with us. I know it’s silly and sounds weird, but this is one of the reasons why I love isolated Friday’s. Next week it won’t be like this. The other 3 will be in the office and we will be planning the activities of the week long and recruiting volunteers and planning orientations. I won’t have time to sit back and observe everything around me. I don’t want to forget why I’m in this, like the others have.
I think I am going to miss fake Mondays’, which are the Wednesdays’ after camping weekends, when we get back from our two days off (Mondays and Tuesdays). They are funny because we are the ones who are barely functioning while everyone has already gotten out of the Monday funk and settled into the week. Oh well.
In other news, I have officially quit working with Bashful. I am both sad and relieved. I’m sad because Bashful’s a really cool guy, I’m relieved because his uncle is a doorknob. I’ve recommended John’s girlfriend to do the job, since she thinks she can handle everything. Good luck. I thought the same but look how it turned out for me. I had too little time to do anything and no time at all to learn how to read the bus schedule - its a lot more confusing then I thought. Plus Bashful’s uncle’s comments are really unbearable and definitely not funny.
This Monday is going to be a busy one for me. I am going on a tour at my college with [hopefully] both my parents and Nifty. It might end up just being my Mom and I going because my dad and Nifty both might have to work. Nifty said he asked for it off but isn’t sure yet if he will get it off. I really want him to be a part of my college experience; to see where I’ll be and maybe meet a couple of my peers. At this tour I’ll sit with my family, Nifty and the people who are taking the same course as me. Maybe I can meet a few people to make the first day easier, who knows. But I really want Nifty to be there, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Last night I went and saw Transformers with Nifty and his friend, Beeman’s little brother Bookworm. I have to admit it was a pretty damn awesome movie and if you haven’t seen it yet; go see it. After that we all went back to Nifty’s house and Bookworm had to sleep over because he was supposed to work with Nifty (one of the guys on the team hadn’t been showing up lately so Nifty’s boss told him to bring a friend). It turns out the guy decided to show up and Bookworm ended up not going in with Nifty. So it was a lot of awkwardness for nothing. Oh well.
Sunday Nifty is picking me up from work and we’re going back to my house - finally. I miss home. Lately I’ve been spending more time at Nifty’s house then I have at my own house, and it sucks. My mom left for West Virginia today so she won’t be home until Monday so its kind of a good thing this is my last weekend; nobody would be home anyway. B2 is on a “family vacation” with her new boyfriend and his family and I have no idea what B1 is up to. I haven’t talked to her since yesterday when she bitched the entire way to work about driving me. She was doing 120 on the highway in the pouring rain saying “FUCK I CAN’T SEE!”. Don’t know why she didn’t slow down if she couldn’t see, but whatever. I bet she’ll be with her boyfriend or something.
Anyways, I’ve got blogs to read a lesson to plan for Fun Friday.
