i would go ahead and say exam week is nice. especially when you took your last exam on tuesday, so you can just hang out in oxford with people you love and not even think about the homework or studying you should be doing.
that's sorta what my week has looked like. and it's been beautiful.
hours at kofenya watching my friends study, or even studying for hours upon hours at the treehouse just in the company of people i love, it's been so good.
today though, i started off with shawshank redemption with nicole. she had never seen it. yeah, it was a good start to the day. then kofenya for the rest of the day with a few interruptions of dropping friends off and picking them up for their exams. and i crocheted for a while and made posters for a while. and talked and hung out for a while.
the end of the night, sam, alex, devon and i sat at a table and just talked for a long time. it was really fun. i don't even know exactly what we talked about. random things. but good things. friends are good assets. =]
and late devon and i drove out to hueston woods on dark country roads surrounded by trees because there was a meteor shower tonight, but the sky was too much like coffee-color to see anything past the clouds. but sitting in the lodge parking lot with the headlights and my shoes off really was good. talking for a while. just good.
and a few times we just sat and we were. we didn't talk, but instead let the silence fill us up. 3 am in the hueston woods lodge parking lot is incredibly silent. maybe more than i've ever known. my ears rung with silence and were filled up with it. it was beautifully deafening. i really encourage that you find some silence. some real silence. just be for a while in it. turn off your ipod, cell phone, macbook, get away from the traffic of the city and just listen. God may surprise you.
it's really beautiful. days like this should happen more often. for sure. and i'm going to make them.
