What if Jesus met Lady Gaga?

I woke up today to shower and eat a bit before I went over to Common time for MCU (Murdoch Christians United.) One my way to MCU, I saw Fr. Joe and he tried to talk to me. He asked if I was going to class and I said that I was going to MCU. He then said, "Well, you know, we have talks now too." I said yeah, but just kept going to MCU. I feel that he always tries to guilt-trip me or something into doing things. That's why I don't think I'm going to mass any more. It sounds dumb when I try to explain it, but something about him just creeps me out and he's very pushy and tries to get people to do things they don't want to do. (ie drink this juice that he gives us when we have pizza after mass, but he mixes the old juice with the new juice and it tastes weird so people don't want it.)
The talk today at MCU was meant to encourage people that aren't necessarily Christian to come and listen. The slogan that they used on the fliers was 'What would Jesus say to Lady Gaga?' Steve, the guy in charge, talked about the passage in Luke 7. After MCU, I walked the other way back to the flat. I put my laundry in and heated up some lunch. I decided to wash my sheets, too, because I noticed that my cough was always worse when I was on my bed, be it studying, going to bed, or waking up. Hopefully if something on there was triggering it, it was washed away. A few days ago my sqush pillow got a hole in it and some of the beads got on my bed. That may have been the reason, and I didn't bring a sewing kit, so I threw it out today. It's sad because I really like that pillow and it was great for the plane ride! My laundry seemed to take forever and when I got it out of the dryer it was still really wet!

I also found that the exam timetable is now available for our finals. I only have two exams and one is 16 November and the other is 18 November. Not sure if it's a good thing to have them so close, but at least I'll be done over a week early and this means that I'll be done with my exams before my parents come!

I don't think I really did anything else. I took a nap, since my sleep schedule is all off and I couldn't sleep well last night. I guess I'm just going to try and catch up with some of my lecture notes/lectopia from the biology classes that I missed before going to bed. Hopefully washing my sheets helped with my cough tonight!

I hope washing your sheets did the trick and you're feeling better :)
You could have bought a sewing kit there and fixed your pillow, but maybe it's better that you just tossed it, since it might be "germy" too.
I'm looking forward to skyping with you Saturday :)

They seem to have, unless it's just because it's been two weeks!

I could have bought a sewing kit, but I wasn't sure where to get one and it was the second hole that it had gotten and I've fixed it before. It was kinda old.

I can't wait to skype either! Hopefully it'll work :)
