Big Brother

It was a rainy morning, which was a slight pain.  I drove down to Lake Merritt for church and almost got lost.  I don't really know my way around the area, and it can get slightly confusing since there's a giant lake right in the middle and if you miss your turn you end up going who knows where else.  My usual turn was being worked on by CalTrans, so I had to find another route.  The other route turned me around so much I had no idea where I even was.  Luckily enough I saw a familiar corner store just before I was about to give up and go home and was able to navigate the rest of the way.  I parked a couple of blocks over and ran through the rain in a mostly futile attempt to stay dry, and when I walked inside the door, the usher who was handing out the announcement flier looks at me and asks,"can I help you?"  I was taken aback and just kind of stared at him with a "are you serious?" kind of glare and just told him I was here for the bible study.  What kind of stupid question is that.  How many people show up at 9:00 AM to a church, who has service at 9:00 AM, for some other reason than to attend the service?  I found it to be slightly rude and a bit short sighted on his part.

The nice thing about Sundays and studio work is that I can drive my car down towards campus and park on the street for free.  On a rainy day like this, especially one where I just know I'm going to be there late, it makes a lot of things much better.  I was able to find a pretty awesome parking space not far from Wurster Hall and was able to leave it there until I left in the morning - at about ten minutes 'til 5:00.

At a certain point in the evening, our group's list of things to accomplish started getting smaller and smaller.  Some of that being through work getting done and some of it due to a realization that we weren't going to get it all done and somethings weren't as important as we had originally strived for.  We ended up with far more work to show than I would have thought we would - and a lot of it looked really good.  I was a little nervous about presenting what I thought we would have, but now I'm more than confident the review will go well.
