whoa... a new post???
what ever could the special occasion be???
nothing. i just finally got my lazy facebook distracted self over to blogger, signed in, and writing a new post.
i am at the GRR airport currently. i love airports.
so what's been going on lately?
honestly, a whole lot of craziness has been going on. before spring break, which was this past week, there were papers and tests galore, stress up the wazoo, and that familiar frustrating phrase was back again: "what now?"
what do i mean by "what now?" it's the phrase that pops up when i find myself uselessly unmotivated with school work, curious about the future, and down-right ready to explode. i think everyone was ready to explode before spring break... which is why i welcomed spring break with open arms. it helped that i was going to sunny california for spring break though.
while i was in california, i received many questions, and i feel like that may have been a direct result from my lack of posting lately... so here it goes... i am going to answer the top 5 questions i heard this past week.
1) how's the weather in michigan? hardy har har... you want me to say cold and gloomy, don't ya? while that may be the case currently, the week before sprung forth a few glorious spring days.... tshirts, shorts, flip-flops and frisbees... hopefully we'll be seeing more of that in the next couple of weeks.
2) how are your classes? argumentation class sucks (cause the professor is just not the teaching type... he's the knowing type. he knows everything. he just can't pass it on to his class.) intercultural communications (an anthropology type class) and rhetorical criticism are my two favorite classes... they are about fascinating things, my profs are really good, and i think they are the most relative to what i intend to do with my life. performance studies and meteorology... two classes that just don't do much for me. particularly performance studies... as i tell my friends, every time i am in that class, i want to take my head off and throw it at my prof in hopes that he will stop talking and that i'll have an excuse to leave class.
3) *preceeded by a wink or elbow nudge* any boys? no.
4) what are you doing for the summer? i will be staying out here in grand rapids for the summer... we've got our super sweet duplex, and so we will move in to that a week or so after classes are done. the plan is to get a summer job so that i can make some money while i am out here... and maybe that job will overlap in to the school year... but we'll see. i am thinking barnes&noble or something right now... just NOTHING in the food service. i've paid my dues with food service (for example. chik-fil-a).
5) have you been doing anything fun lately? i climb at our school's wall everyday except for sunday... and i don't rest on sunday in order to practice sabbath... calvin forces that habit onto us by not opening the gym on sundays... i mean, i completely support that. so climbing everyday and all that college fun-ness that happens randomly every night have been keeping me busy when i am not oh-so-studiously working on homework or studying for exams.
i think that's about it.
when i was in california for spring break, i think i did quite a bit. i saw a ton of people, and i got to see how oober big lucy has gotten... and how well tippy plays with her!!! they are cuter than ever and i can't believe how hyper lucy is. i think tippy gets tired from all of lucy's 24/7 excitement. but it's cute to watch them play together... i never thought i would see that day come.
things you need to see on youtube:
"kittens inspired by kittens"
"star-wars according to a 6 year old"
"kick my ask"
"dimitri martin"
"bizkit the sleepwalking dog"
"flip-flop prank"
that should keep you busy for now. trust me. your life is not complete if you do not see these. and the dimitri martin one... watch the whole thing. i know it's long. but it's worth it.
