Dead week (the week before finals) has just started, but I was able to have a lot of fun this last week and weekend. My friend Jordan came back from Africa after graduating college, he was teaching at a missionary school in the area where his uncle practices medicine...good connection to have! Jordan, however, came down to Corvallis to see some of his friends and brought his dad's Camaro with him; long story short...I got to drive the car!! It was amazing. It had so much power and I got to go really fast, but don't worry I had complete control :) This drive just warmed me up for the jaguar I had a chance to drive later that weekend. It was just a fast car week, which is ok with me because I enjoy those types of things!
On a safer note, I went to a John Mayer and Ben Fold's concert up in Clark County, WA on Friday night. I had some friends from Roseburg and Corvallis going as well. He put on a good show; I was impressed with his performing ability. It was at the same place my dad and I went to see Tom Petty the summer before so the crowd was a little different and the air was a bit cleaner ;)
Saturday morning I went to help at Stone Soup as usual. It is a community kitchen that I have been involved in for over a year; I have even been able to serve as head cook about once a month. After that, I floated the river in Corvallis with a group of friends. Floating on tubes is a common activity in Roseburg, but I had never done it in Corvallis. It was a really nice day to be out. Finally, that evening I went to my first bridal shower of the summer. I have another one in two weeks. The weddings have begun!
On Sunday I went to a church service that the Mayor of Corvallis spoke at, and I was able to meet him. Come to find out he is fairly good friends with my boss at the Linus Pauling Institute, small world I guess.
Now, it is Monday and I have to begin thinking about studying for my finals next week. There are supposed to be clouds and rain for the next ten days which I hope will be very conducive for my studies!
