Friday Fun!

Friday was a great day with several events. I woke up immediately at 7:30 and was able to watch my shows. I went to go to my two classes and was able to get caught up on the day of Religion class that I missed. Thanks to the power of perhaps Ultimate Concern, they hadn’t advanced past the place where we were on Monday. So because of this I was glad, the only thing that I perhaps missed was just signing the sheet for attendance (which partially serves no purpose in the class, just for minor grading purposes).

Introduction to Life Science class was next. I was debating whether or not to go to class but I decided to go, it would be an easy grade that I would pass up on if I hadn’t gone. Life Science class always consists of an introduction period in which the Graduate Student asks us how our week went or some other discussion. Immediately thereafter, we do a period of presenting different news articles for discussion. The discussions are sometimes interesting and at other times it is quite boring. Perhaps the most interesting are those that involve the Environment or even those that involve vegetarianism in class. It seems to be that people let their own interests get involved in this class, thus resulting in a good talk. If it interests them greatly than it is a great discussion, if perhaps they are not into it than they will leave us in a dead silence. I wont go into the topics that were discussed, but I can say that of them, I was most interested in the one about the absorbtion of heat by gases in the air.

As a desire to become a more service orientated person, I went to the far away Office of Student Health Promotion. Why did I go here? Well I went here to go and make some Quit kits (which are free kits) for those that desire to quite smoking. I proceeded and managed to make several of these bags with another person from the office. We put loads of candy in them, straws and papers, and even sunflower seeds, for them to have as alternates to smoking. I believe that this was a wonderful idea as “for no cost at all” with this amount of goodies in a bag, then it will definitely persuade them to quite smoking.

Friday night consisted of two events. The first and most important event was my trip to the Cheesecake Factory. For an event for this month, the Student Alumni Ambassador organization that I am apart of decided to go to someplace to eat at (at no cost to us because the alumni paid for us to eat anywhere). We left the Alumni House promptly at 6:30 in place of somewhere to eat. Our destination was set for the Cheesecake Factory. When we arrived there I was met with one of the most amazing sights ever. The place appeared to look like it was an oriental type setup however, I thought it was mixed. Shouldn’t the Cheesecake Factory look like a more modern restaurant building or at least a tall sort of building and not an oriental genie type look? Needless to say, we didn’t eat there. There was apparently a wait of about three hours and we couldn’t endure the wait.

We left from there quickly and went over to another restaurant that I had never been to. This time it was the Red Robin’s place which featured hamburgers and other meals of that sort. The wait here for our party of 10 was only 15 minutes. We were ecstatic and decided to endure the wait. What ended up occurring was that we were seated accordingly. We got seats in the middle and was met with one of the most friendliest servers.

I ordered quite a bit of food actually. I started it off with Very Berry Raspberry Limeade, which I drunk quite a bit of. It was too utterly delicious but it still pleased the taste buds (although the limeade was a bit strong!). Next I ate a moderately sized Caesar Salad. It had the tastiest croutons ever. I loved the salad and can quite greatly remember the taste of those savory bacon bits. For my entrée, I ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger with Steak Fried Fries. It was the best sandwich that I have ever had in the world with the best fries ever. What made it super tasty was the Red Robin seasoning. The carton was full but I used nearly an eight of it that night (and let me tell you, there is a enough of it for 210 people). The seasoning tasted great on the fries and moderately good on the sandwich itself.

After that event, I proceeded to another one with Aletheia. This one was a party at their apartment headquarters place. I found it to be quite entertaining as we spent the evening decorating a Christmas Tree with Popcorn, ornaments, and other things that could be personalized (such as an ornament with our pictures on it). We read the Christmas story from Matthew that night. It was a great and memorable night and I almost fell asleep while there.

All in all, Friday was a great day. I loved having the chance to meet with my groups again, I loved the task of being able to go to places, and most importantly, I loved the task of finally having something to do other than Cinemas.
