While I've always enjoyed the long Labor Day weekend that immediately follows the first week of school (not anymore for most schools, I know), it never ceases to give a false sense of "second summer" if you will. Four days off in a row after the first week of classes almost makes those first few class periods seem as if they were all a dream. Nevertheless, as I found out today by my homework load I tackled, that first week of school really did happen.
It all balances itself out, though. I had a great weekend overall, and GVSU has Tuesday off, so I still have a little bit more "free time" (a precious commodity in a few short weeks).
To begin my weekend, I went to the Tigers game with Patrick, Mike, and his dad. It was great! (pictures soon) The Tigers won in a 9-0 shutout against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim California of the United States. This was the first Tigers victory with me in the stands that I have actual memory of. My nickname at sporting events as "the jinx" is officially gone now.
Saturday, I worked, and that's about it.
Yesterday, I went to church, ate lunch, and then went to Camp! It was cool to see a lot of people that were up there volunteering for Labor Day Family Camp. Peter, Shane, Sharpie, Jason, Lexie, Marla, Megan, Kirk, and Krystal were all up there, and we got a chance to hang out in the evening with some ice cream at the Station. We later raided the kitchen and played some great rounds of Jenga.
I slept in today, worked on my homework, and caught up with some current events while watching the evening news:
Stingray kills 'Crocodile Hunter' Irwin
Crikey!
We all knew it would happen someday, but it was kind of unexpected. I feel really bad for his wife and two kids. I used to love watching his show.
We'll miss you "Crocodile Hunter."
