I'm sorry I'm a busy Homework Mess...

ok I'm really sorry I haven't written...I keep meaning to and then I get distracted...big surprise I know. :) Ok so I'll start off with my help the homeless progress...I GOT USED BY TWO HOMELESS PEOPLE! These are the people that give homeless people a bad name. I had a lady comes up to me and asks if I had anything to give her. I had just bought muffins to give out so I said yes, would you like a muffin? and she looked at me like I was scum and said sure I guess. Then as I reached into my bag to grab one she says to me, "do you have anything else instead, like money?" And I said no sorry, so she grabbed the muffin out of my hand a walked off to ask the person behind me. Then I didn't realize she had a friend with her behind her. So her friend comes up and puts out her hand and looks at me with a "give me one" look. It was the strangest experience...I kind of went numb and was speechless and was like a robot as I handed away muffins...there were no grateful smiles or thank yous...it was almost an inconvenience to them that I had wasted their time giving them a muffin. So I went and prayed and then the sermon at church the next day was on how we can't serve until we let God serve us first...ex we can't go out and do his works with an empty heart...so God and I talked it out and then I was back on track with my muffin giving on the way home. :)

Ok so now for a more entertaining story...So my friend Jita was over at my apt hanging out and we realized it was past when the tubes close so she would have to ride the bus, but the bus is in a scary location so I didn't want her to walk by herself so I went home with her. We stopped by KFC b/c we realized we hadn't eaten and went in and got some popcorn chicken. By this time it's almost 2am. We are about to leave when this guy comes up and grabs a chair and sits down next to us, then his friend does the same, but he is like leaning up against me and putting his head on my shoulder. Can I just say I have no idea who these boys are or where they came from and neither does Jita...they just popped up. Jita was talking to one of them about art while I kept having to peel this guys arm from around my shoulder and keep placing it in his lap. Jita wasn't paying attention to to what was happening to me across the table and kept missing my looks of LETS LEAVE! I finally caught her eye and we said we had to go. I once again peel his arm off me and say I have to go and he asks why? and I say b/c I don't know you. and he says why? and I say BECAUSE I JUST MET YOU! so then he confesses his love to us and Jita draws him a little heart in the air and we walk out. It was so strange. PS they were so drunk...their eyes were bright red. I don't know if it was a cultural thing (the put your arm around some random girl you meet in KFC)...my guy was from Estonia (Jita's was from Sweden) but really creepy. Mom don't freak out...remember I took self defense and plus the chicken man has a little crush on Jita and would have come out and fried them if he thought we were in danger... It was really funny after we laughed the entire way home, and came up with a code word for we need to leave...she had no idea my side of the table was happening. Oh and I almost forgot the worst part! I don't know if all of you have seen the Left Behind movies (yes the ones with the horrid acting), but the guy who plays Nicoli Carpathia aka the Anti-Christ...this Estonian guy look just like him! And in the book isn't he from some country like Estonia??!! I was freaking out...I was like omg the anti-Christ is touching me!!! It was quite a night.

Anyways...I've recovered. And now been drown with homework and learning french in a week...we'll see how that works out. I am excited though. I learned how to render with markers! So neat and I learned some new water color techniques. So that has been fun to play around with. You all might be getting artwork for Christmas....

Well today Jita and I bribed the security guards to not be mad at us (we came out late after the school was closed) with food. We gave them an apple and banana with a note that said thanks your the best! Love, the girls that break the rules. We were getting a very rude mean lecture about coming down 10 mins late, and then we plopped our gift down and they giggled and said they guessed it was ok, and to have a nice night...they were still laughing as we walked out. See kindness/acknowledgement can go a long way. They had been really nice and let us stay in the lab even though we didn't have three people...and then we were late...so we weren't on their best side, but our note fixed everything! :)

So I leave for Denmark on Wednesday!!! I'm so excited! and then I get back Monday and then leave for Paris on Wednesday. So it should be fun, I'm excited. I'm going to see my friend Lisa who was an exchange student at my high school and then over to see Marine who was an exchange student that lived with us. I guess it's go see foreign exchange students week. :) I've missed them a lot so it should be fun. OK well I have got to get to bed. I'll post pics soon. Love you!
