Wow, yesterday was a very interesting day.
So, I realize on Friday night that I need to do laundry. Being that it is late (early?
), I decide to just get up earlier. So, I get up Saturday at 7:20 and start laundry. Most of it is done on time, and so I am able to dress for the day. I don't have time for breakfast, so I just head down to the bus stop and arrive there 3 minutes early. The bus takes me most of the way to the theater, where I am supposed to meet for the Generation Joshua club [For those of you who don't know, the Generation Joshua clubs are supposed to get teens involved in local elections]. Of course, I had told everyone to get there on time (10:30). I gave myself 30 minutes to walk/run the 2.3 miles to the theater from where the bus dropped me off.
So I start walking....I then read a sign (on an exit) that says "no pedestrians," so I turn around, and, after some deliberation, decide to take a roundabout route that will land me at the theater. This route is about 4 miles long, and the time is 10:18. So I start running. After about 2.5 miles, I take a side road that should allow me to get to the theater slightly faster. After a very long time, I wind up back near where the bus dropped me off.
It is 11:00. I decide to just take the route I had originally planned on, since the "no pedestrians" sign must have been referring to the exit and the highway connected to it. So, I follow that route and arrive at the theater, 1 hour late. So much for being on time!
The one good thing...I can run 9-10 miles in 90 minutes! :D
We went to a nearby restaurant and had some food. (I ordered two bottles of water.
) Over the meal, we discussed the plan for the GenJ club. :) We then went into the theater to see Narnia. The film was very well done, although a few minor parts were changed (nothing affecting the plot).
After the film, we talked for a bit, and then ate out at a Chinese restaurant (I was treated by one of the families
). I was then driven back by that same family.
Then I went to the house church.
