spontaneity

I expect this weekend to be a good one! It's going to be pretty empty here because most people have gone home for Easter. But I wasn't up for an 8-hour car ride on Thursday and Monday to get home, so I'm staying here, as are my friend Peter and my boyfriend Chris. Plus, Peter and I drove to Goshen today to pick up our friend Eli, so I did end up spending about 6 hours in the car, but it was 2 sets of 3 hours, so it wasn't as bad as going home would be.

Tonight we watched "Right at Your Door," a slightly creepy and disturbing movie about dirty bombs going off in LA. It was unnerving to think that we're so vulnerable, but it made me feel better to know that I'm in a small town where it's presumably safer. But the movie, all in all, was pretty lame. We've been watching lame movies lately because the Movie Gallery in town just closed, and so they were selling DVDs for $1.50. But by the time Chris got there, they were pretty cleaned out of good ones! I did end up scoring some great deals (of course, the guys don't want to watch mine), but it's sad that they went out of business because they're the only movie rental place in town. Although the McDonald's does have one of those new DVD rental machines!

Speaking of McDonald's, I went with the girls (Melissa, Danette, Kristy, and Meghan) to McDonald's the other night right after dinner to get Shamrock Shakes. We decided that we were hungry for them and so we just hopped in the car and went! It's nice to have such freedom and to be able to be spontaneous like that. And the same thing happened a different night--I was at dinner with Kristen and some of our mutual friends, and we decided that we were going to go to Movie Gallery that night that it was $1.50. So, again, we just hopped in the car and spent like an hour browsing the store!

It's good times like those that make college so much fun!
