Rut - Sunday, February 4, 2007
I was feeling pretty crappy last week. I couldn't stay awake in class, concentrate on my studies, or understand the material. I skipped a class, didn't turn in a couple assignments, a even received a pretty vocal email from a professor for completing only half of my homework. I guess in a way I was getting depressed.

Priscilla changed that. Tuesday night I emailed her saying I wouldn't be going to Sojourners because I was feeling really down and having a tough week. On Wednesday I came back from class and was surprised to find her waiting in front of my door. She's pretty good at getting people to help with her surprises (in this case, my roommate) without spilling the beans to me (except that time with the passport ;p). So we hung out and she studied with me to make sure that I didn't squander any more time. She even brought me energy snacks and vitamin water! After her visit I've been feeling a lot better and, after a good night's rest, was actually able to sit through classes without dozing off.

I was too busy to go home for the weekend, so yesterday she came down to UCLA again (not unannounced) and we studied and did our Spiritual Disciplines study that we had to postpone (oops). Today I've been doing schoolwork all day. This weekend has been the most productive I've had in quite a while, and I feel like I'm getting back on track. Things will be ok.

I'm really thankful to God for giving me such a caring friend and spiritual partner. I guess even I can be emotional sometimes, and it's nice to have a shoulder to lean on and somebody who can help me get back on my feet. I hope I'll be able to do the same for her. Thanks, Silly Goose. :)
