| Another weekend come and gone... |

[i]In your eyes,
I see the doorway, of a thousand churches...
In your eyes,
The resolution, of all the fruitless searches...
[b]Peter Gabriel ~ In Your Eyes[/b][/i]
Wow, what a week. I honestly wondered at some times, in darkest night, head collapsed on my desk, and sleep threatening to take me at any moment, whether I could generate two papers and write two exams in one week... Well, here I am on the other side alive and breathing, if slightly worn and tired.
The weekend was a nice, slow change to the hectic pace of the week. On Saturday Rikki and I took Lexi for a walk to the forest on my Uncle's farm. It was very homey to walk past the fields I had grown up playing in, carrying Lexi when she got tired. In the woods Rikki and I imagined a house we would build. I found a broken piece of glass in an old trash pile at the edge of the woods and we carved the symbol of a house into a birch tree nearby. I felt as if I had been transported 5 years into my own future and that this was my family, instead of someone elses.
I did a lot of visiting this weekend. I saw my Grandparents on Saturday after the walk, then my parents and I went to my Uncle's birthday party Saturday night. I went to see Rikki at around 11:30pm, after her boyfriend had left for work. When I got there she was passed out on the couch, so the two of us just lay there, faces together, me stroking her hair. I was completely happy in that moment, yet when I left to go home I felt like I was running away. What possible future is there for me with someone elses girlfriend? What do I expect to happen? Do I really want them to break up, and in the process cause her horrible emotional suffering? The answer is no, but at the same time my heart doesn't want to give up this closeness it's found. I don't know what the answer is.
Sunday morning I woke up, activated Dad's version of WindowsXP for him, then stopped by Missy and Craig's place to tell them I didn't have a disk I needed to fix their computer this weekend. I got back in time for Mom and Dad to drive me to the bus stop for the trip back to the city. I got back at around 4:30pm, only to spend three hours trying to navigate the bus system to get home. First the bus I needed drove right by without stopping. Then I got lost because most of the city signage doesn't indicate what busses run on the weekend and what ones don't.
On the good side, Mom and Dad told me this weekend that they are going to buy me a new computer for graduation, so now I just have to use this piece of shit for a little over 5 months. I guess I better stop praying for it to die!
First day of my second bout of practice teaching tomorrow, so I suppose I should get to bed early. I'm not looking forward to it at all.
