Went to school to take over Omran's office hours...it was interesting, and I mostly talked to Nathan, which was quite enjoyable. Late lunch with Tony was quite enjoyable as well, where Tony once again asked me to calculate the average monthly cost of having a car...heh...and apparently he's going for it... Came home to find the Grosskurths in the house cleaning and stuff for Alan's inspection test tomorrow...so now the house is so clean that it's unrecognizable...maybe I should clean my room as well... And there goes the day of no work done.

Random notes: My eyes get sore really quickly these days...I'm guessing it's something to do with the glasses; I find myself to be in a bit of spiritual lazyness...; the rain continued on and off through the day, and certainly made it a lot cooler...nice; I think I really got Chen Jie hooked on puzzles...heh; I discovered this "internet scrabble club" thingie...hopefully I won't be addicted, because quite frankly, after playing two games, I suck; a note about gas prices yesterday...at noon, it was around 103...a few hours later, it jumped to 114...what is up with that?

I'm grateful to God for...

• the cooler weather that comforts;
• opening my eyes to a lot of interesting ideas in my readings today;
• wonderful times spent with Nathan and Tony;
• giving me peace in my heart; and
• continuing to pull me back to His presence, despite all my attempts to run away.
