A guy was shot and killed two houses down from mine two nights ago. This is the sixth homicide in Utah this year. This just blows my mind. Enough guns, enough violence. Lucky for me I had three DeCoria brothers here to make me feel safe.
I have enormous respect for this woman. I cannot even begin to describe my admiration of her strength, obedience, compassion, and faith.
1. Um, hello? Financial aid office? It is not acceptable to be put on hold for 17 minutes.
2. Girls on campus...why do you need to carry a book bag and a purse? How much stuff do you need on your person at one time?
3. Boys...shorts? Really? It's, like, negative a zillion outside? Did you not notice?
4. Yes, here at the U we are more liberal than say, BYU, but lets try and go a little less out of our way to make that known. We know we support Barak Obama and Ron Paul. We know we don't have a dress code. We know our programs are great. We know we are Red and White. WE KNOW already. We don't need to hear it every time we turn around. Cause not all of us concur. I'm just sayin'.
5. Sleeping on the couches in the Union building is not sanitary.
This is not to say I hate school. I just hate school today. And this week. And probably last week, too.
My Child Lit teacher hates me. She actually rolls her eyes at me on a regular basis. I'm not making this up. I have never done anything to challenge or test this woman in any way. As far as I know....no, I know for certain that I have never done anything remotely upsetting in this class....ever. I'm not a difficult person. I think myself to be a pleasant person. I don't get it? I'm taller than her...is this a tall person thing? Is she one of those people? I don't get it. I just don't.
1. Brandon. He makes me laugh and laugh. The last little while has been a bit hard with the weather and a dozen or so bouts of bad luck. I just adore him.
2. Sally Hansen Nail Pens. They are the neatest things, they dry fast and look good!
3. Compassion. Those who have it. Those who are finding it. Those who are learning learning it by the trials they endure. It is beautiful thing.
4. Locksmiths.
5. Sisters. They are good for a laugh, venting, a bit of gossip, or a cupcake. You just gotta love'em.
6. The one single day of Sunshine on Tuesday. It was bitter, bitter cold....but it was sunshine.
7. A strong hubby. I think every girl should have one. He got my car unstuck. It was really, really stuck. Pfft.
8. Audio books. I have really gotten hooked on these.
9. Movies, movies, movies.
10.Sleep aids...I might not sleep without them.
I lost a set of keys to a car that doesn't even belong to the person who let me borrow it. I lost my coat. I lost Brandon's coat, too. I lost the book that I have to have read and a paper written by Thursday somewhere between laundry and snow. I lost some weight lately. I've lost my ability to breathe in the cold, cold air. I lost the tab key on my computer. I lost interest in a handsome vampire. I lost my fear of Virginia Woolf. I lost my loneliness almost a year ago. I lost some hair in the shower this morning. I lost my paper on the the sexuality of Little Red Riding Hood half way through writing it. I lost my desire to live in cold states. I lost my dislike of the summer. I lost a lot of sleep last week. I lost the need to be alone all the time.
Brandon has been sick for days. This awful miserable weird sickness. Poor guy. Now I am getting it. My lungs burn and my head feels like its going to implode. This only furthers my current hatred for winter.
