Day 39

Class was canceled this morning!

I'm in a good mood because of this. No trip out to Allendale. No breaking bills and using meters. I woke up and played COD for a little bit and then went over to Mike's to hang out with him before we both met up with our good friend Ethan at Ming Ten.

Ethan has been one of my friends for 4-5 years now. We did several outings in my high school youth group, as well as retreats and even shared the same leader. He's a funny guy, never has to try to make me laugh, he's just funny, which I like. Ethan moved to Chicago a few years back where he has been living ever since. Every time I'm out there I'll usually stop by this place. He lived 5 minutes off of the Magnificent Mile, so when I say he lived in Chicago, he was truly in Chicago.

We ate sushi, seaweed salads, soups, honey chicken, mushrooms, coconut egg-whites, and so much more, and then left and went over to Meijer. Melissa had gotten out of class so she met us there. We bought juices and then made off to Robinette's. At Robinette's, I tried all of their donuts. We just hung out and talked and then Ethan drove us to his house, a huge nest egg of a home tucked away in the forests of Ada's lower pant leg. We then explored this old house that had to have been at least 100 years old and was falling apart as we spoke. It looked like an old colony home. It made me think of what poor slave family or farmer family lived there. I love old architecture like that. The house was so small, with an upstairs that would have served as one bedroom. Wish I could go back and time and see it lived in, of course, I would love to go back in time for anything. I'd want to travel back in time to 20 B.C. and stand where my house is right now and just see what the landscape looked like, and just walk around.... walk to where the mall is, Costco... it would all just be grass... or rock. I don't know. Dangit I need a Delorean.

Came back from my Holland class which I really like, after tapping into more of my creative side in my brain I met my sister and Jeff, Melissa, Mike, Tanya, Chad, and Sam at Buffalo Wild Wings where I spent time with my friends. I love when I get to do this. Everyone is so busy all the time, so when we get together it's a treat. Went over to Shelby's apartment after and hung out for awhile, played with her animal farm, and then went home to find my own animal farm... farm mess actually. Carmen peed in my room on a pile of clothes.

I hate spanking my dog.
