Yeah, so the university decided to be nice to us and gave us Monday and Tuesday off. So, what are you supposed to do with only two days off of class? Like two years before, I decided to stick around on campus. However, unlike last time, amazing people have decided to stick around and keep me company. It's been a blast.

I must say that it was great to get home from church on a Sunday and do nothing all afternoon except for watching football¹ while two girls in aprons slaved around in the kitchen making us a dinner of steak and potatoes. However, being the gentleman that I am,² I offered to help, and I did. I manned the barbecue grill and got the hair on my right arm singed off in a freak accident involving a lot of lighter fluid and a lighter. Still, we managed to barbecue some delicious food. Afterwords, nearly a half dozen other women who were also left behind descended upon our duplex to partake in dinner with us. After dinner, I ran to the video store to get a movie. After the movie, I ended up in a discussion with Jessica that started with the topic of alternative medicine but ended with comments about plant sperm and molesting a horse.

Today, I helped out another of the survivors left behind at the university this weekend. I helped Jeremiah with issues on his website. I am now convinced that Jeremiah is my evil twin: we're both musical nerds. However, he's more musical, and I'm more nerdy. Actually, if anyone's the evil twin, it's me: Jeremiah is an angel complete with the white robe and halo. Still in gratitude for my help, I was invited to dinner with some of the MKs from Bolivia³ who stayed behind for Fall Break. The meal was some delicious Pique Macho that was once again prepared by women while the men had fun. Ironically, Amy has now made me dinner two nights in a row. I'm convinced that she'd make a good wife.

Later that evening, Peter, some of the other survivors and I out of pure boredom decided to engage in a little mischief. I can't post here what happened because of fear of academic repercussions and legal prosecution, but if you're dying to know, ask me.

I seem to like these instances where the bulk of the JBU community runs off to some exotic place while close friends stay nearby. It makes these moments in life rather fun.

1. The Broncos didn't play, so that made it suck
2. Right, guys?
3. Which (at least in the context of MKs from JBU) I seem to confuse easily with Columbia.
