Back at school! Holllllaaaaa!

Friday night, I got into bed at 1:30, and tossed and turned all night. Don't think I slept more than two hours. Got up at 5:30, left for the airport at 6, boarded at 7:30 AM. I would have slept on the plane, except that I watched the in flight movie "Two Weeks Notice" (so cute!!) and the people next to me were talking to each other. For the entire flight. Didn't shut up once. Landed at 1:40... an hour earlier than I thought. Oooops. Guess I should read those iteneraries. Pat, Jumee, Lillian and June picked me up, and we had mad area group lovin all day. Went to Woodfield Mall, Yu's Mandarin, and then Willow Creek Church. Fun times. June Kim! HAHAH!

Bill Hybels spoke at Willow Creek. I don't know if you've ever read his books, but they're really good. The man is not only blessed as a writer, but as a speaker as well. His sermon was amazing. I think all of us came out of it really amazed, and really challenged. He really made me think about my character, my faith and my relationship with Jesus. The service was pretty cool, but the sermon really kicked me in the ass. It was great.

So in high school, Susan and I had this thing called "the perfect day." On certain days, we'd look around and say, "if it was ten degrees warmer, it would be the perfect day," or "if it was five degrees cooler, and there was a slight breeze, it would be the perfect day." The perfect day is all about the weather--- about 75-80 degrees, light breeze, bright blue sky. Last week in California, Tuesday was almost a perfect day. I get back to Chicago, and the perfect day is NOWHERE in sight. It is grey and yucky here. Yesterday was cold. I mean, cmon. It's May! We had an absurdly cold winter! Don't we deserve some perfect days? Alas, I guess this is character building. Watch, we're probably going to jump straight from cold and grey to humid and stiflingly hot. There's Chicago for ya! Oh man, I am going to miss this place. Sigh.

Going to watch Ana Gastayer tonight. Hooray!
