My Sunday
Today was interesting. After a day of work where I finally arranged the "Green" section in the back room of H/D just the way I like it (a way that made more sense than how it was before), and stocked the freezer, I grabbed a dinner and headed to church. I wondered if there was going to be a mass, since there was nobody there, save for Pete and Troy hanging around, while I ate my dinner from Panda Express in the Commons. I looked at the HDTV above the fireplace, which was giving a slide show of construction pictures from last year's renovation. Then I remembered... I was supposed to head to Circuit City to buy an antenna. If the one I bought didn't work, I'd just return it, until I had what would work with my new TV.So I kept wondering... why the low attendance? Turns out, Wash U had finals this week. Mine aren't until next month. But still, I wasn't as anxious as these people were. I didn't understand this anxiety. Even Grace, a girl I met while listening to the mass, was so worried about her 30 page papers due in a week for her law degree. I felt sorry for her.
Then there was the mass itself. I hope it got recorded and I have a chance to post it onto the CSC's site. I want to view it again; it was that good. It was about how, in a quest for love, or what anybody would desire (grades, money, recognition, what have you...) you'd get burned along the way. But as usual, it hit home and was just what I needed to hear in only the way Father Gary could say it. He's such a great orator. I smiled a lot during the homily cause I was deeply comforted :)
Then I talked to Patrick after mass, because as usual, being the great friend he is, he made some time to talk to me. He told me that Hotornot is now free (reeeeeally??! :), and that dating websites are not out of the question when hoping for that special someone, but to rather pursue friendships, and let the right one come along. With that, I went home smiling because I believe that God made a special girl just for me, and that He will guide me to her, no matter what, even if I met her already, and don't even realize she will become my lovely wife at some point. In the meantime, I need to raise my head and keep on walking. And also, to worry about finals. :D
