Sick but not awful

So I think I am finally starting to feel better after getting a 24 or 36 hour bug, which of course intersected with Kelley coming up for a surprise visit. We had a good time Tuesday as I cleared my schedule pretty much to spend time with her. I still got all my schoolwork done on time, just a matter of grading work now. Realizing this, I had an interesting Wednesday too. Despite being sick and not preparing a very good small group for Tuesday night, we had a lot of good discussion. Our small group could be growing from 6 to 9 regular members in the next couple weeks, and that would be the first ever small group to ever grow so much that we have to break apart (probably not until next school year). Much different from just Ken, Kevin, and I meeting on a random night fall quarter. But got through that, slept beside my princess and woke up with her on Wednesday (nothing brightens up the middle of the week like that as it felt nothing like a Wednesday). Then after class I graded all the HW for the week and at 5 I went to go get the exas from the two Essenhigh classes. It took about 1:15 to get through all of that and finally waitied over by Smith Hall before going to dinner and a 1-on-1 with Glenn. Right after that I get a call from my campus pastor inviting me to a poker party at 8:30. So over to the GFZ [Girl Free Zone, large house where a bunch of XA guys live but I would never lve there with those regulations they impose like no girls staying overnight EVER, no alcohol, etc] I go, and we played a couple games of 5 dollar buy in. The first hand of the first game I chased an A-9 suited for about half my stack against another guy and he had A-J to beat me when only another Ace came up in the 5 community cards. So I was shortstacked all that game. I finally get a decent 7-7 and I go all in which elicts two calls. One guy has a 8-3 offsuit (what the hell?) and the other had J-J. Let's just say no 7's came up to save me from the Jacks and out I went. The guy who took half my stack on hand 1 defeated the guy who knocked me out with Jacks in the final two, but I had a good read on everyone but the runner-up at the table when we started again. I again played some hands to the flop and became short stacked when no winners came up for over an hour. Then all of a sudden it was ridiculous cards every hand. I double paired the board on the flop about 3-4 straight hands and finally got someone to call my all-in and doubled up. At this point I had breathing room and my cards were so good I started bullying the table a little and buying blinds. My three opponents were Ian (the guy I had no read on), Munn (second best poker player there behind me), and Michelle (ultra-conservative player) and this was a surprisingly tough field. I finally got Munn out of the game and then worked on bullying Ian because he was short stacked. After a long hard battle where not many hands were played out, Ian goes all in after a flop of A-5-6. I have A-K so I go all-in, and to my surprise Michelle has the first good hand she has had in a while and goes all-in as well. She had A-7 and Ian had J-10. No straights of sevens came up in the last two cards and I took the pot. Won 20 bucks on the night, and had a lot of fun. These random mid-week activities. So now what am I doing today? I have to go see Katsube and pick up some Quizzes to grade and start working on Essenhigh's exams. I also have some reading for history and I just remembered I have a stupid one page paper for my ethics class tomorrow. Oh well not too bad. So off to my life.
Oh we are finally decided upon G/b/r Snakes for the Pro Tour. It is a fun deck to play, so we'l; see if I cannot win some money with it now. Weekend plans to go home and see Title IX. Good stuff.
