Lesson for today: When God provides an opportunity, don't pass it up. I felt this sense of calm, peace and joy after all is said and done, and that is good enough for me.

Woke up, studied the Bible, short call from Samuel, office hour where nobody came, Francis and I had a nasty conversation on msn that lasted about two hours, home to sleep, went out with Li Zhen, and here I am. Nope, despite what it seems, I absolutely did not waste this day at all. In fact, it was one of the more fulfilling days that I had in recent memory. Thank God.

There is still this sense of regret that I could have attended the accountability group meeting yesterday, if only I knew it was happening after I arrived back in Waterloo...oh well.
