An update? Can it be?




First off, HELP! I'm drowning in skads of homework...which I should be doing, but don't judge me. Seven hours of math is quite enough, thank you very much. A few people I once thought to be quite wise advised me not to worry because college only gets easier. Yeah, NOT WHEN YOU'RE TAKING A HYBRID COURSE! It's 18 weeks of math squished into 9. Chew on that for a while, especially if you're not a math person. So, why am I sitting here typing when I have literally a mountain of math on my desk? Yeah, I'll get back to you on that. ( Or not.) If you're just going to sit there and judge me though, then you can go ahead and click the little "x" button on the top right-hand corner of your screen. I'll thank you to keep your opinions to yourself.

Oh, who am I kidding? No one even reads my blog anymore...(excepting, of course, of my three saintly friends Emily, Laura, and Sarah) AS EVIDENCED BY THE THREE MEASLY COMMENTS THAT I RECEIVED WHEN I PRACTICALLY POURED MY HEART OUT TO YOU IN MY LAST POST. IF IT LOOKS LIKE I'M YELLING AT YOU IN PRINT IT'S BECAUSE I AM. Did you catch the hint? I all but threw it at you. Honestly, not commenting on peoples' blogs is insensitive, irritating, and displays an almost imponderable lack of social refinement! One puts so much time and effort into achieving that perfect blend of witticism and satire known as a blog post, only to discover that the symphony of words and phrases that distinguishes ones' art from mediocrity isn't good enough for some people! In fact, it's beneath the audience to even LEAVE A COMMENT. You trample some poor, honest souls' self-esteem into the dust, and spit on it for good measure every time you refuse him/her the courtesy of a comment. If you are one of these people, go crawl under the rock from whence you came.


Seriously though, I'd have to be a complete hermit, or pathetically sensitive, for your comments (or lack thereof) to affect me so deeply. Oh wait...


(watch me waste my words on your heart of stone and receive no comments for this post.)

Anyway, school has been going great. I can't wait to start my last class, accounting, in February. Fun stuff. :) One thing, though, really bothers me while I'm on campus. I just feel like addressing the issue. On some days it's bad, and on others it's worse. The language. I haven't really interacted with strangers on a daily basis before, so I was shocked. This is how people "in the world" communicate with each other? What happened to actual talking, as opposed to swearing at one another? Not that I stick around long, just the bits and snatches of conversation I pick up while going to and from class. It's still enough to burn my ears off. I realize that most of you don't have to deal with all of these sordid details, but since I don't have a journal anymore, bear with me. It grates on my nerves. Not every day, because like I mentioned I don't stay, but sometimes it's overwhelming. I just feel so sorry for those kids! There they are, at college and studying hard, presumably to get a decent job, and using such awful language. Who's going to hire somebody who can't form a complete sentence without using dirty expletives? Nobody. To say nothing of how skewed their moral compass must be. It's sad and depressing that you can't have a decent discussion with people anymore. Of course, not everybody is like that...I've met, so far, seven nice, decent people. I'm thanking the Lord that I've made a few friends there. :) Sometimes I wonder if it's okay to just go up to people and tell them to clean up their mouth. The urge to do that is slowly becoming uncontrollable. One of these days I'm going to get so offended its going to pop out. *sighs*

At last count I have 31 pairs of shoes. It's gotten to the point where even I realize it is a teeny, tiny bit over the top, so I'm going to try and find time to revamp(read: throw out the contents) of half my closet. Most likely, it'll be a very emotional, painful process that I'm going to medicate with Andrea Bocelli and a whole lotta chocolate. In other news, I passed by Life guarding Final! All I have to do is show up on Tuesday and get my card. Boy, am I ever thankful and thrilled. I'm also qualified to give emergency oxygen. So, if you ever feel the need to pass out and stop breathing, do it in front of me. I figure if I need to practice, it might as well be on you. ;) How does that rate on your comfort scale? Pretty high? Yeah, didn't think so.

That's all the news I have for this post. Thanks for stopping by!

Now go do something productive, you've wasted enough time as it is.

  1. Ya know, I've had the same experience with language since starting work last week as a CNA. Sometimes I feel like not only washing everybody's mouth out with soap but my ears as well. :( It's sad, but I guess it's good practice being in the world but not of the world.

    Good luck with all the math!! My concience is pricking me-- I have a section of homework due tonight... cheerio!!

  2. Goodness, your posts are hysterical, dear! Getting called a saint pretty much means that I'll comment. :D ;) No better way to get me...not that you really would want me... But, hey, a higher comment number always looks cool. :P

    Why are you getting rid of stuff?? :( I love all your clothes and shoes!!! ...besides, it makes me feel better about having 11 pairs of shoes. Heh, heh. ;)

    Praying for you with school and all. I have no doubts that you're blowing them all out of the water. And I just know you'll pass the exams. :) And I would feel your pain about school and all, but I simply can't... ;P

    This is pretty much like a letter, but, hey, I've been missing you like crazy!! This whole school thing takes away some awesome "Lois" time. :D Love oodles!!!! You're FABULOUS!!!! ...just had to get that out. ;)

  3. Okay, so you answered my first question already. That would be the current shoe count, naturally. Just out of curiosity, do you name them or do you just kind of recognize them by sight?

    Oddly enough, when I started reading this post, I had the strangest impression that the only reason you were writing it was to get comments. Obviously it'd seem silly to encourage you in that kind of behavior, but I doubt my gut feeling was right anyway, and besides, when has saying nothing ever been more fun?

  4. I read your blog, even if I don't always comment. ;-) So here's from a silent, faithful blog reader: I really, really enjoy reading what you've got to say. :-)

    My sympathies are abundant, my dear--all that math sounds dreadful!

    If I ever feel like fainting, I'll just head on over to your house...or not. ;-)

    Love you! :-)
