Wonderful Weekend

I had a wonderful weekend. Starting with the cherry blossoms and the sunny weather on Friday I felt rejuvenated and refreshed despite my dearth of sleep. I took copious photographs in the glorious Spring weather and then enjoyed some dinner with friends, old and new. I had a delicious curry and even enjoyed cleaning the dishes. I listened to my good friend sing phenomenally, lifting my soul upwards. Later I watched a fascinating lecture, ate yummy candy, and played Egyptian ratscrew, actually slapping a few wins myself. I went to sleep late, but awoke the next morning with plenty of rest. I then decided to leave the realm of my room and explore a new part of the city. On a totally random corner stands a delicately resolute statue of Sadako Sasaki, gracefully capturing her perseverance, hope and tragedy. Afterwards I ate some delicious Thai food and a smoothie before heading back to the dorm to complete some homework, which I actually succeeded in accomplishing! As the night began I played some relaxing foosball and air hockey. The lovely evening continued with two movies, both quite enjoyable and another restful sleep. Finally, Sunday arrived. I generally dislike Sunday, although I also enjoy how relaxing it can be. Well, today was one of those more relaxing and enjoyable Sundays. I ran quite a distance, refreshingly after four weeks on a hiatus from running. I worked most of the day, but I discovered dozens of new songs to my bubbling joy. I even applied for a job as a research assistant, and while it will be difficult to get accepted I can only hope and continue to progress toward experiencing new things every day. I might try volunteering with People for Puget Sound or join the United Students Against Sweatshops. Life is improving. I truly feel like I have had a good weekend. I can't help but smile reminiscing.
