grown up.

Today I ceremoniously officiated the shift into Adulthood by taking out my eyebrow piercing. [insert sigh] It didn't look nice anyways-- it's always infected. Even so, it 'twas somewhat sad to say bye to it. If I have a 'real' job where I'm leading 'real' grown ups, I suppose they won't appreciate some punk who will lead them astray. Needless to say, my mom is happy. (I haven't quite given it up completely--it's just that it's barely visible. I can't bring myself to transition 100%.)

Today I also talked with cousin who I hadn't seen since the day of my Pake's (friesen for grandpa) funeral 3 1/2 years ago. My own flesh-and-blood-- we wore diapers and were potty-trained at the same-- and I didn't even recognize him. He's moving out West. I'm moving out East. And the chances of us meeting again anytime soon are becoming less probable...weird. I wish him God's blessings, I suppose.

i'm back.

Whoops. Apparently, even my own blog got tired of waiting for me to update, and stopped updating me on the requests to update.
Since I last drank wine with Amanda, I've been doing a great many things (including having more wine with Amanda). Too many things for this blog to contain. Basically, if you read Sara's blog, you will have Ann's blog. We are practically the same person.
Let me see. Oh! An update on my room mates. I love them. Kara, aside from doing my laundry all semester, also made my bed and put fresh sheets on it last week when I was going crazy. It's too bad that I did not have the chance to enjoy the freshness, as I didn't really sleep. Dead Week has a knack for torturing students with a combination of papers and sleep-deprivation.
Oh. I never explained the morphing of Ann-Sara. We did Justice Matters two weeks ago (something which everyone at Dordt would either have to be blind to have missed or skipped a lot of classes, thereby missing our great white tent). Once finished with that, we had a day or two of hardcore homeworking, followed by pursuing our Student Manifesto from last year. We are potentially accomplishing a great many things. But we can't talk about it or we'd have to kill you. Now, we are studying together.
Tomorrow, to celebrate the end of exams, we may or may not smoke a cigar on the roof of SV.
