Oh procrastination.... 2 more months and no more dreaded assignments! Must do homework before an hour before its due.
So I borrowed and Urdu Bible and showed this couple I study with! At first it was sooo hard because the english speaking husband wasn't there and I thought I had marked a scripture, but turns out I marked the right verse, but wrong book! And why does their number system have to be so weird! I think they don't even understand urdu numbers. Thank goodness the husband came and figured out how to find scriptures! Otherwise that poor lady would have been so confused. Despite the lame language barrier, it was such an awesome study because they finally got to read scriptures! They wanted to keep the Bible, but I told they have to wait till theirs comes. Their kids are so adorable! However, they used to be so quiet and afraid (which was kind of a nice quality) but now they are loud and want to play all the time!

work today
So my boss has been complaining about the work schedule ever since i said i can't work sundays--meeting change--. I used to feel like i had power at my job..not anymore. He really wants me there sunday to the point where I think he will fire me all the other days just so in a desperate attempt i say I'll work Sunday. Not going to happen mister. SO today I decided running away from him at the end of all my shifts was not going to work anymore. Instead I made like 3 possible perfect schedules for all the employees. Wel. Hope it works. at least he'll know i am a "team player"!

AHHHH stupid car!
It is amazing how you can get to all these places all over with carpooling... yet i still hate it! I want my car so bad!!
(Last week some neighbor of mine with no license or insurance ran a stop sign and hit and run my car. She didnt run far though enough though..)
I was all excited to ride my bike home tomorrow from work.. i told the sister who was going to pick me she didn't have to! i made a playlist for my ipod! THen i came home and was looking all over the for my bike! no where to be found. It turns out my Dad decided to disassemble in an effort to make it go faster...apparently he has been using it without my permisison... lost a part and it was still in pieces in the shed! ahhhhh that was just the icing on the cake! I feel so unindependent now......... But until then I really incredibly appreciate all the rides people have been giving me it is super nice.

so sore
Me and Vi had an amazing workout with the Fitness magazine and resistance bands. I highly recommend them for a good challenge. There was this one exercise where you had to wrap the band around your feet and then to your hands and try to get into a push up position...then to proceed with the exercise. It was so hard to stretch that thing to get your hands out just a little bit away from your feet. VERY CHALLENGING!
Febuary is such a short month!

school is taking over my weekend!
I am very much not liking this A and P book. It is taking over my weekend with very hard words!!!! And I feel like a computer nerd because it is online. And I didn't get to play soccer because I had to do a quiz! This stinks. Never take online classes. KEYNOTE: It would have been worth it to stalk students and make them drop out so I could have their spot in the classroom. HA.
Well, on the upside I had such an awesome call today with a muslim family. I love them so much. They have the cutest children and they are just the sweetest most respectful couple. And they evenly correct all my messy Hindi, but they do it in such a nice way that you don't feel stupid.

ohh blogging instead of homework again
Vi and I had such an amazing work out today! Lake Mills exercise trail and then pilates by the lake. That place is beautiful and empty. So nice to be out doors and moving. Well back to the A and P class for me. It was fun the first month but now its beginning to be hard to find the motivation to do it. College classes are nice that they are such short semesters though. I had such a wonderful study with a Bengali girl last weekend. It is amazing the culture shock these girls face going from being princess in Bangladesh to being hard working americans!
ohhhh get this... my dad heard the service group was meeting at my house, bought a chunck of lamb to feed the indian service group lunch on saturday. very hospitable of him, yet so random. He is turning into quite the chef. This morning it was lentil soup and rice.
