so... last friday, darin and i went to the
  WHITE SOX   
parade and rally downtown!  it was awesome!  don't get me wrong, i'm a  cubs fan.  i don't generally follow much baseball, especially the sox, but i did go to a game this summer and i did follow the series!  you gotta get excited when your city's team makes it big!  (and yes, i'm claiming chicago as mine)  and i figure, some day i'll be able to say "oh, i was at the celebration when the white sox won the 2005 world series!"  not a opportunity i wanted to miss!  it was crazy... but good times!
then we went to a graduate school fair at UIC... very interesting.  lots and lots of choices for darin... fun stuff.  the future is a scary thing to think about...
saturday i took tests all day - total poo.  that's all i wanna say about that...
sunday we took the cornerstone youth to laserquest!!  i haven't been since my own youth groupin days... i forgot how aggressive it can be!  the first round, our 10 high schoolers (and 4 of us "adults") played with like 50 little boys from some birthday party.  they were intense!  one kid just randomly kicked me!  what the heck?!  screaming "i hate you!  i hate you!" in my face (or as close as he could jump to my face anyway!)  anyhow... it really was fun...
this week is not quite as stressful as last... but it's still up there.  i'll hopefully be finishing my practicum my next tuesday!  my life will be SO much easier!  i cannot wait!
so... how was halloween??  we went and saw SAW 2 last night - great movie!  they're so disturbing and disgusting but yet intriguing to no end!  blows my mind.  seen it?  thoughts???
oh the life of a grad office worker.......
