This was a very full, but very rewarding day.
Highlights:
I took the Davis city bus for the first time, I interviewed at UCD and I think it went well, I made an awesome brisket in preparation for Bilbo's birthday party tomorrow, I worked out with folks from Crossings (church), and went to Bible study.
Current mood: Exhausted
Details:
I am tired, so the details will be short and sweet. The E line Unitrans bus picks up a couple blocks from my house and drops off on campus, so I've decided to make use of that resource sometimes. I successfully took a bus to my interview today. I met with the director of the student disabilities center and two staff interpreters. I bombed the voicing part of the assessment, but I think it's okay otherwise. I'm fairly certain I'll be hired to interpret for them.
I spent most of the rest of the day preparing the food for Bilbo's 165th birthday taking place on the morrow. I baked two layers of chocolate stout cake and a very tender, very yummy brisket over mushrooms and carrots that is chilling as I type this in the fridge. I was able to accomplish all this and still make the workout and Bible study groups at church. Sara kicked our butts with her exercise regime. It's unreal that she is having a baby in six weeks. Absolutely unreal. I lasted about 45 seconds in the final wall sit. At Bible study we discussed parts of Luke 19 and 20, and ended up talking about the parable of the vineyard tenants. We discussed possible interpretations of the parable and how we as tenants or as the vineyard now need to give back to the owner (God) when and what He asks. Not easy to do...
