The Sounds of My Day

Buzz-Buzz, Buzz-Buzz. [Vibrating alarm]

Creak. [Back into bed, ignoring alarm]

Dang it. [Overslept. Bad.]

Hallelujah Chorus. [Trish gives me water and a ride to class]

Omph! [Falling into my seat climbing over my fellow classmates. Auditorium style.]

Overstating Ending Inventory, LCM Wah, Wah, Wah...[Accounting]

'I think elderly people should have the right to be sexually active if they choose...' [Controversy 9. When do we make judgement calls for elders?]

YES. [Dad overestimated deposit to my account]

OOh! [Tripping directly in front of men smoking on way home]

Squeak-Squeak, Squeak-Squeak. [Anti-fungal foot powder+Chaco flipflops= endless noise once powder has dissolved]

Belch...Well S%*t Jim...[Construction workers on walk home. Liberty taken--his name may have been John.]

Creeepy...[Other construction worker watching me walk through a window...for the second time...]

S**t. [Upon discovering no one is home and I don't have my keys]

Double S**t. [Upon discovering next door is locked also. Just being honest...]

Creeeaak...[Ceej opens her door!]

Hooray! [I remember we have a spare key!]

I wonder...[Package on doorstep for me. Am I a bridesmaid?]

Aw! [Indeed I am.]

Boo...[I now will study the rest of the day]

The End.

Politics, the Office, and War

Geez. I know I should be up on the times, but sometimes I get sick of politics talk. Listening to some friends dress down the candidates and America. It might all be true. But I am kind of over it at times.

Pacifism...war...how does it fit together? What do I think about all of this? I honestly don't know. And is it ok that I don't know? Can I be open to different ideas without immediately jumping on them and swallowing them whole. Am I conservative? Am I liberal? I don't know.
Jesus. I want to know You. I want to follow You. Not get caught up in things that tangle. Whatever that means for politics or issues of the day. Let me be full of wisdom and compassion. I want to try to solve problems and love people rather than harp on problems. Awareness of problems is key. But it gets overwhelming to me simply to go into extreme detail of hundreds of issues and have no solution. Is that naive? Maybe I am too idealistic. I want to change the world. But the world gets changed by changed hearts, not changed policies, really. So I want to love people. Help them. Show them Jesus. So they may be changed. So we may be changed. That is where I am at, currently. I think.

However, I do know that I love Jim and Pam. And a love story like that sounds very nice someday. That's all I have to say about that. A good laugh is so precious. And oh, how they come on office days. That's what she said.

It Sucks You In!

I just spent an unacceptable amount of time on facebook. This must change.

When there are things to do like paint my nails, take a shower, and set out the dress and heels I have to wear in the morning. I forgot to mention SLEEP. I don't do much of that these days. Here I go.

My Life This Week

So Tricia [my stunning roommate and best friend since 10th grade, for those of you unaware] and I were at Publix for a little late night grocery shopping yesterday. As I am meandering around the grapes and cherries, I hear, "Oh my gosh! What happened!?" from a random boy near the bread aisle. I mean, I know she has this massive knee brace on, but I had to just stare at this going on. After she explained about her knee surgery, he proceded to tell several stories of his own injuries. She politely nods and smiles at all the right places while I am trying not to laugh out loud at her being stuck between the bread and the fruit with a nice boy who is clearly interested in prolonging the conversation. So maybe it is not as funny as it was at the time...hey. I enjoyed it. She was awkward.

Ok. Christmas. I am SO pumped about it coming soon. Ish.

Um...E...about that...my 'e' key fell off of my laptop yesterday. It's pretty annoying. No, not 'z', not even 'b'. E. One of the most used vowels. However, I'm getting pretty good at pressing the little circle in the middle of what used to be the key.

Last weekend was Meredy's bachelorette weekend. Lots of driving to Florida and back, but no major hits from the hurricane. The waves came up super close to the hotel, but other than that, no rain and only a bit of wind. Fun times with Trum's sisters and all the rest of the bridesmaids. It wasn't until later this week when I was discussing martini mashed potatoes that it REALLY hit she is getting married in a month. Forever. And Ever.

This Saturday I am in Lindsay's wedding. INSANE. It's starting. My friends are getting married. Missing class Friday for the luncheon and Rehearsal affair. Heels three times in two days! That's intense. But I so look forward to the festivities and seeing friends from a few years ago.

Ok. Got to finish packing. Getting dirty clothes together to wash at home because our dryer is broken. Hey! I finally have sheets on my bed. After two weeks...Clay said I was dirty, but think that is more busy/lazy than dirty. Anna helped me.

Right. Bedtime. Past bedtime, actually. Sweet dreams of Jesus...
