Winding Down

Well, here we are... my last day of work in harrisonburg!!! it just feels so crazy! This week has actually been really great and rejuvenating because as it turns out i wasn't scheduled to work at the Tea Room. I had forgotten how nice it was to just have one job instead of two! Because i have just been working at 56 i have had the time to hang out with my housemates and do fun things. Michelle and i have had fun going swimming in a creek out in broadway. it takes about 20 minutes to get there so it's kind of a trip which is fun.

i've also spent a little bit of time going through my room and kind of packing up a little bit. i went through my desk yesterday and decided what notebooks i actually wanted to keep and what to throw away and stuff... i actually think it's pretty fun. my room is actually pretty empty considering that greg came up on saturday and took my bed and couch home. he came and loaded it all up and then we went and got lunch at a taverna downtown which was fun. so ever since then i've been floating to different beds in the house :-). which leads me to my next story...

on sunday night i decided to sleep downstairs in a room that no one is living in right now (it still has a been and furniture) because it was so much cooler downstairs. so i went to bed around 12:30 or so, ceiling fan blasting, windows open, etc. i was sleeping very on and off because i was so hot, and then at about 3:45am i fully wake up. i wasn't really sure why so i looked around, only to see someone standing on the edge of the porch. he then leaned over and looked like he was starting to come in the center window. i jumped up and (in the strongest voice i could muster) asked "who is that!?". now... i'm not quite sure why that is what i asked, but it's just what came out haha! i assume he jumped off the porch and ran off because i didn't see him after that. i went and looked out the window and he was gone and i saw that he had knocked in the screen of the center window, which is what had woken me up. i hurried into Street's room and woke her up. we went around to close and lock all the downstairs windows and then went and got everyone else up. we called the police and they came to check everything out. at this point it was close to 4:30 in the morning, but i wasn't going to be able to sleep so we all piled in the car and went to waffle house for some breakfast :). so everything turned out fine and i am very thankful that we are safe and that everything happened the way it did.

i am also very glad that it has cooled off... it was pretty miserable last week and over the weekend. we have been living life with a fan pointed at us for a while, but yesterday i actually took a shower in something other than cold water! so that is a step in the right direction haha.

well i think some of us are off the to creek to do some swimming before i go in to the restaurant for my last night!!! woohoo.
