Friday wasn't so bad.....I went to class, went to work, and came home to do some homework. But, I was so bored! Everyone went home this weekend. I had no one to hang out with or anything. I was forced to do homework. I switched with someone Saturday, so I could get some more hours. I worked a 8 hour shift! Woohoo! I was kinda excited. That just means more money for the apartment! Haha.Speaking of work....I really like the people I work with. Saturday we were super slow, so we were just talking and hanging out. It was nice. Afterwards, Jessica and I went to Cookout in our awesome Zaxby's attire to get milkshakes. We had a plan of staying just 10 minutes. Well, we looked at the clock and it was midnight....oops.
Sunday started off awful which is crazy. It's the day we celebrate Christ conquering the grave! You think I would've been jumping for joy? It was my first Easter away from my family. My family doesn't really do anything for Easter. We never really have. We usually just go to church and come home. But, the fact I wasn't there really hurt. Not to mention, I had plans after church and they were ruined. I was devastated. I even thought about driving home after church and just leaving later tonight. Crazy, right?
Well, anyway. I hate I was in a bad mood at church. I couldn't really get into it. I just kept thinking about how I wasn't home. I almost didn't even go. I thought I was going to be sitting by myself. Luckily, Ioana and Michael were there. So, I wasn't by myself. I'm pretty sure they could tell I was upset. I went home after church, still super upset, and Ioana called me and invited me to go over to Michael's to eat lunch and paint eggs. I was so happy!
Ioana is Romanian by the way. So, she decided to show Michael and I some Romanian traditions on Easter. We had to have deviled eggs along with our lunch of grilled chicken, roasted corn, bread, and potatoes. YUM! I had no problem with the deviled eggs. I love them. But, she made them weird. I was so uneasy about eating them. THEY WERE SOOOO GOOD!! Apparently, deviled eggs are essential to a good Easter dinner in Romania. Then, we painted (literally) eggs. I had never painted eggs before, but it was super fun! Mine had little flowers on it. Super cute! Apparently, another tradition in Romania is to play a game with your eggs. You try to crack the other person's egg and if you do you are the Egg King. Well, mine was disqualified before we even started. I dropped mine while painting it. Of course. Needless to say, Michael's won, mohawk and all.
I came home, and Titantic was on. What a perfect way to end the day! I love that movie! Did I do any of my other homework or study? Of course not. But, hey! It is the LAST week of classes! Finally!
Basically, what started as a bad day, ended up to be one of the best days in awhile. This was definitely an Easter to remember! Thank you Jesus for conquering the grave! :)
