Hey there, kids. I'm back at home now. I realize that I've been really slacking off with the blogging lately. Something about trying to write the ten-part entry on my trip to LA has really bogged me down. Hence, I'm about 5 months behind as far as updates.
Let's see here, what has been going on since Janurary?...
Oh yes. That's right. Everything. The last five months of my life have been filled with all kinds of different things. Massive highs and immeasurable lows. Everything from my aunt's death to my roommate's attempt to kill me while drunk. Everything from a brief spring break romance with a girl that I'll never see again to my journey back home for the summer. And, like they say in bad commercials, "Much, much more!"
Good. Glad I could clear all of that up.
Okay. Maybe I'll give you some detail one of these days.
Anyway, back to my normal comedy-like blog product. After applying to almost every possible job in the Western Hemisphere during spring break, I came back home for the summer and re-applied to Target, who hired me the next day.
Now I'm waiting for Target to call me back and tell me when my 'oreintation" will be. It seems that they hire people in big groups, and that they are all shown around at once, at a scheduled time. Meanwhile, I'm stuck here lying around the house wondering if they really do love me, why they never call, and if they've been messing around with that other applicant behind my back.
Allright, it's pretty obvious that except for a little bit of stuff in those last two paragraphs, my funny powers are not back where they should be just yet. I guess that's why I haven't been writing much lately- I just haven't felt funny enough. Maybe it was the stress from all the above-listed stuff over the last few months. Maybe it was the amount of creative writing-powers that I poured into a story that I wrote for a class (which I might post here some day), or maybe this is turning out to be the least entertaining blog entry ever and I should stop rambling like a middle schooler who just discovered MySpace.
Here's something good. Sometime during the last semester, I started writing down all of the really funny comments that people made in classes.
Our Astronomy professor likes to teach advanced mathematical concepts to his own kids at an earlier age than their schools do:
Professor: So I was trying to explain to her the second derivative of the space-time curve...
Student: How old is your daughter?
Professor: She's in fifth grade.
Same class, different time:
Some student
Obviously confused) Oh, God!
Professor: Yes?
Speaking of God, let's move on to New Testament class stuff:
Actual questions on a quiz:
18. Okay, you've got me. I'm out of questions. Seriously.
19. See above.
20. See above.
Overheard between students while discussing the answers, after the quizzes had been graded and returned:
"I couldn't think of 'Son of Man,' so I put 'Grand Master Funk- He who brinks the funk for all the children of Jerusalem.'"
Ah, yes. We need an Awesome thing of the "Week," don't we? Well, this is pretty much the coolest video ever made. (Click "THE VIDEO watch now"). It's not that "peak of the Internet" thing I mentioned last time, but it is pretty darn cool.
I have Astigmatism too. Coincidence? I think not.
How old is your daughter is exactly how my husband talks. He never likes to be pinned down - can you blame him?
