The COE librarian invited me over to her place this evening for a casual supper to welcome three Fulbrighters to Lehigh, and it was so nice to answer her email by saying I’d love to come and have no “but I’ll need a ride.” The other day, I drove to the small group meeting and once again it was great not needing a ride. And now I’m even picking up another student to church and then to grocery shopping after that.
Today I went to Klein’s garage and have them take a look at the faulty driver’s side power window and door. I was adviced to not turn down the window and because the door refuses to open from the outside when the window is closed, so in order to open the driver’s door, I have to go in via the back door, stretch out to the front door handle, pull it open, and with one hand making sure the front door doesn’t close, get out from the backdoor still making sure the front door doesnt close, go around the back door then close the back door and get in the front door. Or I could actually get in front the front passenger side and climb over to the driver’s side, maybe I should try that tomorrow. I have an appointment to drop off my car next Monday for them to take it apart and fix the problem and I have no idea how much that would cost me. And I have yet to get the power steering rack fixed but since the temperature is dropping, the power steering fluid isn’t leaking as much. But I do feel bad polluting the environment (or Duh’s parking lot) with power steering fluid.
Anyway, the dinner party was to welcome three Fulbright scholarship holders to Lehigh’s college of education. One of them is from Singapore, another from Maldives but actually went to Inti College in Subang, and the third is from Mali and tells me there are a lot of Malaysians in the construction arena in Mali. It’s a small world after all.
