last night was nice.
someone, i think carter, recently remarked on how i’ve been working full-time for not even three months now, and yet i have all these friends that i’ve known for years. it’s true. knowing that i have many friends in houston from my years of co-oping was one of the most convincing reasons to take this job instead of looking elsewhere, and i don’t regret that. i need to have good friends in my life; i don’t like to feel alone.
but sometimes, knowing so many people and always going out in groups of 10 or more gets exhausting. last night i went out with just jason and debbie, and it was both fun and relaxing, which was just what i needed after my strange week.
we went over to sugarland (read: the middle of nowhere, yet somehow still in the houston metropolitan area) and wandered through a corn maze. yep, a big field of corn that has been cut/grown into a maze! there were four different parts–a kiddie maze, a cloud maze (the paths were series of arcs), a texas history maze (cut in the shape of texas and filled with cutouts of texas-y things like a rocket, a star, and the alamo), and finally a labyrinth, which was the coolest part. here it is:
sort of neat, eh? the only problem with is was that the corn is all dead or dying, so in some parts it wasn’t over our heads. ah well. after the maze adventure, we caught a late showing of sweet home alabama. it was as expected–cute romantic comedy, but nothing outstanding. but i had wanted to see it, so that was nice.
no plans for today, really. well, except watching a lot of baseball.
