Typical Weekend Boredom

I better start finding other things to do on the weekends, or else I'm gonna run out of blog title ideas for my weekly updates!

Actually, having the weekend was a welcome thing considering some of the important class assignments I needed to accomplish. I've got a Geography exam coming up, and an essay for my English class was due this week. I spent a lot of time at home finishing up my essay. Perhaps I should share what this essay was about...

So a couple weeks ago, I realized that I had a second-cousin going to school here. Better yet, he's in my math class! I never even recognized him until he asked me who I was... I've seriously lost track of certain family members, especially my older cousins. So Tanner's mother is my cousin and his grandfather is my uncle and so on and so forth. Moving on with this story, the main motive of my most recent essay was to profile someone and write about a specific "slice" in that person's life. I was originally planning on profiling one of my Japanese relatives (because Japanese people are cool and my Japanese relatives are a lot cooler!) but then I realized the impracticality of the idea mainly due to time and communications inconvenience; sure, I could have used Skype but then I would have been required to translate the Japanese into English. Not a process I was willing to go through with... this time.

When God shuts the door, He often opens a window so I decided to profile/interview Tanner. Doing so killed two birds with one stone by getting this assignment done AND taking the opportunity to get to know my second-cousin. So I spent this past Saturday adding the finishing touches of my profile essay on Tanner. Other than that, there was math homework and then a little study/review time for an upcoming Geography exam.

Sunday was church followed by more studying. That, plus a little TV/couch potato time. I had to play piano in church as well. I'm not gonna tell you how that went. But I will tell you that practice time is precious.

So, that's what I did this past weekend. Boring but sorely needed. I'm just glad I got a lot of homework done!
