nagi_schwarzUnmei has hammer space.
For those of you not otakus, know that hammer space is where characters in skimpy outfits keep their weapons - originally it was a large hammer, but if you're Heero Yuy you have secret gun space in your spandex shorts. And as it turns out, unmei, or fate, has hammer space, and has decided to come out swinging at me.
Sunday was a pretty good day. Okay, so I was lame and didn't get out of bed till half past ten. Jason came to church with me. We cut it pretty close, but that was okay. It was good - we're learning out of a new manual, and we're restarting the manual in the essentials class. I think that'll help Jason a lot, getting back to basics. I'm really glad that everyone's being so friendly to him. I can't really explain why they're friendly other than that they're good people. I also went over to Bishop Dallon's house for Sunday dinner, which was cool. It was his birthday, so we had stir fry and salad (very healthy) and then his littlest daughter Buffy (I didn't realize that could be short for Elizabeth) made chocolate cake. We played Taboo - which our team won by one point because Blake and I had this weird mind-connection - and Apples to Apples, which Keith won. The Dallons are a really awesome family, and Sister Dallon is a great cook. Also, she gave me enough left overs to cover two meals, so I'm pretty happy. I think I'll now be able to make my food supply last for four weeks instead of just three. After all, I do have a heck of a lot of ramen. I talked to my mom and Justin on the phone before bed.
Yesterday was long. I got to school and got all my briefing done (except for contracts, grrr). I had my practice interview after school, which went as well as it was going to, given that I've never interviewed with a law firm before. I got some good advice from a very nice lady. I stuck around afterwards studying till six and also talking to Matt the transfer student and Kim the super mom. Then I went home, had some dinner, and took off for family home evening. Which was the weirdest thing ever. The girls and the boys split into two groups and made up fake names, then exchanged fake name lists. Then we wrote notes to each other like it was third grade. I had guessed who three names on the list were by sheer luck. I'd say it's amazing what people are bold enough to say to each other when they're not face-to-face, but given that I spend time hanging around places like LJ and Facebook and Myspace I'm not really surprised. I was surprised at how bold some of them were given that, once the note-passing stopped, we'd figure out who our pen-pal was. Most internet relationships (of the pen-pal variety since I'm not big on internet dating) don't make it that far.
When I got home from school last night I discovered I'd lost my student ID. Not a big deal usually, except my ID is this weird super-card hybrid thing that allows me to buy lunch, get into the parking lot, and even get into the law school after hours. I tore through my apartment looking for it. I poked through the school parking lot and my apartment parking lot. No sign. So this morning I went onto main campus with every intent of getting money from the bank and getting my card replaced. I haven't been that cold in a while. About ten minutes into the walk I couldn't feel my ears or my nose, and by the time I'd reached card services my legs were starting to go numb. My legs. The bank was closed, and in scraping together what cash I had left, it turned out that I didn't have enough money to buy a replacement card. So I have to make the same freezing cold trip after classes get out. Goody.
Mom called last night to say goodbye before she takes off for China today. I hope she makes it safe.
On the upside, I saw a real snow flake. It was actually last week, but I didn't think to write it. Back in Cedar City, the only snow flakes I ever saw were just white smudges on my windshield. Out here, they actually look like the paper snowflakes kids cut out at winter. I was impressed.
Anyway, I gotta get to class.
Nagi NB: guess what? Though law schools may breed professional liars, they also breed honest kids who won't steal my laptop when I leave it out and will turn my ID into the office when they find it in the parking lot. Gotta pass that good karma on. Thanks to that anonymous person who found it!
