So, we recharged for 4 days ... ahhh. Here's how the time played out:
Friday: Fell asleep for a few hours in the afternoon. Went for Rob's birthday dinner at Pappadeaux seafood kitchen. I did not, of course, eat seafood; I had a hefty Greek salad. Played NWN in the evening.
Saturday: Cleaned like mad. In the afternoon, hiked on the trail behind campus. Watched movie in the evening; Adaptation
Sunday: Nearly fell asleep in church in the morning. Realized we had more relaxing to do before being ready for classes. Played some more NWN in the afternoon, watched movie in evening; A Beautiful Mind.
Monday: Worked on getting papers in order, financial crap and the like, in the morning. Went to Fort Worth botanical gardens in the afternoon with a group of friends from school. Played more in the evening while laundry was doing.
Tuesday: Grocery shopping in the morning, followed by internet research-curiosity-satisfaction for an hour before lunch. Afternoon of registering for Rob's next classes and gaming, interspersed with cooking chicken curry for dinner this evening at Dave and Ginny's place. We had a good time; curry, salad, firey mango pickles, ice cream, coffee and several hands of Rook. Dave and I trounced Rob and Ginny. Me, gloat? [teehee] Twas mucho fun.
The new session begins tomorrow. Sigh. I have hope for our readiness for this. Rob is taking Field Methods & Linguistic Analysis, Field Data Management and Cultural Anthropology. I am also taking the Cultural Anthro (finally ... a shared course!) as well as Biblical Backgrounds and Semantics & Pragmatics. Our in-class time is from 8:00 - 10:00 AM and 11:00 - 11:55 AM, Monday through Friday, plus whatever cultural observation and language learning sessions we'll have in the afternoons.
Must sleep now ... first early morning in days tomorrow.

Not anonymous, really. Rachel here. Glad to hear you've settled in and are doing well. Sounds like hard work and a lot of fun! What is NWN, by the way? Am I the only one who doesn't know that? Anyway, thinking of and praying for you both. Missing singing with you.
:) Oh, and you didn't say if you liked the firey mango pickles. And if you did, there are a whole lot of firey Indian pickles you should try.
It's not anonymous ... it's me, Eshinee. I just can't log in right now, for some unknown reason.
NWN = Neverwinter Nights, our favorite cooperative computer game.
Firey mango pickles = slightly hotter than I could handle bare (i.e. without rice). Ginny says that these were hotter than they usually are when she buys them; she likes the mango pickles alot and grew up eating them in India. I bet I would like them if they were slightly less hot. I like hot but there needs to be flavor too, not just hot for the sake of hot. I had mango pickles at a Persian restaurant (Alborz) in Redmond and they were scrummy.
