Something else to be happy about

Since nobody who would buy it reads this post, I can legitimately post a link to the most beautiful flower arrangement:

The Glass children
painting your bedroom
stripes
bone-warming sunshine
new file systems
sunflowers
being organized
favorite books on your palm pilot, so you can read while waiting.
Super auto maintenance guys who take good care of single girls' cars.
Going home for mom's birthday
plane reservations for spring break
Clownfish
Listening to songs you associate with an old flame
School notebooks covered by your faovrite artwork
and finally, after a year and a half, finding a GREAT CHURCH!!

Life is good.

Blue Champagne

3 am; I know, I know...

I got a flash of poetry inspiration on the way home from dinner tonight. I chanted the wisp I had over and over in my head, hoping to not lose it before it turned into something concrete. I think I succeeded about 70%. I haven't finished it, so we'll see. It's kind of a fun idea I have about Shakespeare's Sonnets.

Lest you think I am a poet, or even an aspiring one-I haven't written poetry since I was required to do so in Miss Fast's creative writing class in the eleventh grade. I write PROSE. When I get up the gumption.

I'm going to read Franny and Zooey in my spare time this weekend. I don't really have any, but I need to read it anyhow. I found a wonderful journal article about how they model the issues and ideals of gifted children so exceptionally well. I remember the first time I read it, I hated it and wondered why I was wasting my Sunday afternoon, until about the last ten pages. Then it was brilliant and I almost cried.

Remind me to talk about my exciting venture into filing systems this weekend.

*yawn*

Grad School Epiphany

I realized yesterday that I have such a hard time with grad school because they no longer test how well I test...they actually assess what I KNOW. Darn it-now I actually have to learn stuff.
:P

I'm telling you: life as a student with "an atypical form of adhd" stinks.

In other news, I'm trying to figure out what to get mom for her upcoming birthday.

In still other news, there aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done. I need to cut something out, but nothing seems to want to go. Additionally, church hasn't seemed to have been on the not-cut list, and I dislike that entirely.

I need a secretary.
