A busy week

and no time to write. I can barely remember a week ago. Went to Costco on Friday with Matthias, Kelly, and my roommates ... had some suitcase problems on the way back. Matthias's "Juggernaut" had some problems with melting wheels -- it contained nearly 60 lbs of foodstuffs.

Saturday -- went to IKEA in Jersey during the day ... bought two barstools with backs -- I don't know what they are called. Apparently IKEA pays NJ Transit Authority for buses on the half hour to IKEA every Saturday - there were so many people there, I can see how they make a profit. We had lunch at the buffet there, and I got some really good Swedish meatballs. Yummy. On the way to the apartments, I carried a 35 lbs bookshelf on my back -- I had to watch Matt's feet in front of me so I didn't run into anyone. That evening, we went to a party in 4B6 -- Joanna Wagner invited us and some others over for burgers and fries. It was a delightful meal with about 10 people there, and then I went over to a wedding celebration reception. Two King's students got married over the summer, so this was the official celebration. They were in the middle of starting swing dancing - I didn't get involved, to my great regret. I did play HORSE with pool though. And lost.

Sunday -- went to church at MSNY again. New location was about a 30 min walk through Times Square and up Broadway, service was good. Josh, one of the youth directors, invited Matt and I to play Halo sometime. Actually, the six of us got separated quite a bit on the way. Went out for pizza afterwards as a group. In the evening, had our "hazing" for Lewis. Involved going into a restaurant, helping people in a store, convincing people to say the name C.S. Lewis without mentioning his works, singing "Sound of Music" on the stairway of Columbia Universities' Library, carrying Kyle up the hill at Riverside Park. Zachary washed our feet back at his apartment. It was a great experience.

Monday - Labor Day, slept in late. That was nice. There was also a picnic on Roosevelt Island, played some soccer, some football, watched some ultimate frisbee. Ate four burgers and a hot dog. Paid $5. Well worth it. Worked on homework, I think?

Tuesday - Thursday -- School. Had a Lewis meeting Wednesday afternoon, English paper due same day, nothing else. Boring. Big Politics paper due tomorrow, Lewis retreat to Dr. Jackson's starts at 3:30 PM. Should work on that tonight, probably.
