Mr Charles Morris
Went to church today even though I didn't really feel like going, and I didn't expect to be so "uplifted" (Katie's word) by the service. I really liked this new song we learnt, which reminded me that God's in control of everything, and that He is awesome. It's a really beautiful song about the colours of fall and the fragrance of spring, and how He placed the stars in the sky and He knows them by name. There's a little patch of sky shining through the window in our little church and, as I sang, the cheery blue I could see outside seemed so reassuring.
As I walked back after meeting Katie I bumped into someone I shall call Mr Charles Morris, because he lives in my hall and I've talked to him a few times. Before I tell you of this incident I shall tell you one before, where I stopped by to talk to him during dinner and he introduced me to his friend, saying, "This is Ruth, the girl I've been telling you of." I was a little taken aback but stayed and chatted for a little while.
Anyway today I bump into him and he says, "Oh, by the way, are you free this Thursday?" and I say "What's happening Thursday?" "Well, my friend's coming down and we're going for a movie. Would you like to come along? I'd like to introduce you." I found that really strange because I've talked to him a few times but I barely know him! So I said, "Well, I'll see if I'm free then, and I'll keep you informed" and remembered my manners, "ohh but it was so nice of you to ask!" And indeed it was. But I wonder why he wants to introduce me to everyone! Well I don't wonder. I know. But I'm just posting everything here for the sake of my ego.
Mr Charles Morris is doing philosophy, and when I found that out I gave him all my textbooks and course notes from last year. I don't know whether that's an inappropriate thing to do for someone you barely know, but I don't need the notes anyway and he does, and there wasn't any point selling them to him because I'm not exactly dying of poverty, am I?
Anyway, horrible and egoistic entry shall end
