English Period In The Canoe Room

Image
Sitting in the Canoe Rooom at ISU waiting for lunch to get closer before I get food, a bunch of oddly entertaining people say next to me. First a lady wearing all plad, including a mid-calf plaid skirt, a plaid jacket, and plaid stockings. Makes me giggle. The other lady is wearing her watch over the sleeve of her sweater, which I don't fully understand. Is it really that hard to lift the sleeve back 2 inches, maybe, I don't know. The last lady, sounds like man, and the single man sounds as if he is a woman. Conversation number one, ASIANS. Nuf said. Conversation humber two, Breakfast. Man says, are we going to have breakfast brought in from a hotel? $300 for breakfast is not an issue. I think $4 for coffee is ridiculous. (Man grinding his teeth) Plaid lady, "The will like it, because it is their only choice." Lost interest in their conversation, Getting distracted by some people playing Rock Band. --Come one people, I could play this stuff on the Hard level. I could...

Step By Step

2:17 AM- Chase Mickey down the street cursing and being sleeted on. 8:47 AM- A text from Mema waking me up...."Good morning! How was your evening? Did you know Amanda and Heff are coming today? Would you be able to come with them?" --I am freaking tired. Thoughts going throught my head--I am so tired! Why did I leave my phone on? 8:55 AM- Mema calls. --Act as if I have been awake for at least 2 hours. Clear the throat, try to speak in falsetto. Fall back asleep 9:43 AM- Decided to finally crawl out of bed and put some clothes on and pretend to be happy to be awake. Mozie on down the stairs and brush my teeth, put water in my hair to make it look as if I showered. 9:54 AM- Leave my house for work to put green tape on the laser tag walls. 11:22 AM- Amanda tells me that Tabatha is at work. Go to get my eyebrows waxed. 12:37 PM- Arrive at home and decide that I am really hungry. Thinking to myself--Do I want to eat pizza or enchiladas? Mid-Day Dilemma. 12:42 PM- Sit at home and r...

I was just sitting in my toasty warm house when all the sudden..... BUZZZ BUZZZZ. Yes folks, my phone buzzed to let me know I had a text message. It was Cliff. Iwas tempted to just ignore it and continue working on my delightful farm. But being the amazing person that I am, I decided to stop and take the little time I had to read his message. What I recieved was this... It's The Picture Of The Day. Yes my dear readers, my picture was chosen over all the other millions of pictures. Ok well maybe not millions, but I like to think so. I am so amazing that my awesome picture was chosen. As exciting as this news is, I did not receive any prize for being an amazing photographer, or for my delicious artistic views, just a congrats. How pathetic is that!?! I was extremely disappointed, but then I realized, I don't need a prize to tell me I have a great taste in art. Bahhh! And I am now delighted to know that this picture has been the picture of the day for 2 days now. WTF!! It is not ...

Photo Friday October 9th

Unfortunately I did not take this picture, but I couldn't resist sharing this with everyone. I was surfing the lovely internet one day at lunch and found this beaut. Does this make anyone else uncomfortable? The guy in the front looks as if he is enjoying it a bit too much. It just makes me giggle. I hope it does the same for you.

Discouragement Is Discouraged.

Ahhh! School is taking over my life. Stressing too much about English, Math is not getting any better. Choir is hardcore and I need to find someone to work for me Friday night. Happy Birthday Kristen. I just need a big glass of wine to calm my racing head. I don't want to be an Audiologist anymore. I can't stay in school for another 8 years! When am I going to have time to date, start a family, do the things I want. I do want to be able to provide for a family, if I ever get the far. Jake you are being stupid. Just make an appointment with Dr. Flipsen and he will help you get through all this. No he wont. He specializes in Speech disorders in children....how the heck is that going to help me with Audiology. I need an AUDIOLOGIST to be my advisor for cryin out loud! He knows what he is talking about. If he can't answer your questions, I am sure there are a few people in the same building that know the answers. E-mail him and make an appointment for Thursday. Ok I guess your ...

The Common Questions.

I am a very open perosn, I like to believe. If someone has a quesiton, I am always open for them to come and ask me. And being who I am, I will asnwer the question, HONESTLY. People deserve honesty if they have the courage to actaully ask a question. Why am I writing this? In hopes that people who are too afraid to ask me certain questions, that they will grow a pair and just ask me. I don't get offended over stuff. But if you are still too afraid to ask the questions, I would delight in answering them. 1) Are you Mormon? Yes I am. But I like to look at myself as a Christian. I dislike how people do not believe that I am a Christian. I believe there is a Christ. But people say Mormons are not Christian because we "worship" some guy named Joseph Smith. False accusation. We do not worship him. He is the first Prophet in our church and has brought to pass The Book of Mormon. Why people criticize us for having this book, I do not know why. Other religions have their own ...

Dead avid readers, I apologize for missing last seeks Photo Friday. I was out of town on a camping trip to Camp Kumbayah for a choir retreat. Regardless of the absolutely ridiculous name of the camp, I had a funderful time. This is a lovely picture of a piano. It speaks to me without even vocalizing a syllable.
