HAD TO LAUGH! :)

Burnt out and Summer goodness

Its come to that point in the semester where I am totally burnt out. I feel no motivation even though I know I have to do things. I am super tired and just want to sleep. I had the experience of wishing that the week would be over and summer would be here. I am just burnt out at the moment but have resolved to only allow this behavior this week and than kick it into action once again. What a waste of Education if you don't learn anything. So I am learning! :) Speaking of summer though. I have lately had this feeling that something wonderful is going to happen. Other than from what I am anticipating. I don't know... its a wierd feeling. Something that I will decide to do or what I will do this summer is going to affect me greatly. Not only that but what I decide will have an impact on if this "certain something" happens. I have no clue what it is but feel this sense of happiness. Simple happiness. Hard to explain. I just know that I need to prepare myself for anything. Be ready to jump when necessary. All that I know now is that I will be up here at school doing my intern and graduating this summer. So we will see.

Michael Vartan (Vaughn)... I love him.

Star

So on my way down to Utah two billboards just stuck to me. Eye catching. I couldn't get them out of my thoughts. The first one said- ESCAPE THE WORLD. I began to think of all sorts of wonderful things. I imagined sitting on top of the car with my arms opened wide, closing my eyes and letting the air brush past me. Sweet smelling and wonderful. Then I would jump, flying around. Where? around the buildings twirling, flipping, speeding up and slowing down, flying high as I could and end up not where I had began but rather, on a star. I imagined the star like how we draw them...A huge bright warm star. (not some fire ball.) :) And there I would stay. Sit and think. Looking at the whole scheme and smile. The second billboard I thought said Research HOPE. I thought as I passed that- Maybe I should. Why not? But coming closer to it and realizing it actually said- Research=HOPE. Still it stuck with me. :) What a great drive!

Don't kill. It only leads to death.

Valentine

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come:

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.



William Shakespeare

(1564 - 1616)

Wrinkles forever...

Today I couldn't help but notice my hands. How could anyone ever love these wrinkly old hands!

100 MPH on Kates Dip!

Kami... welcome to the club! :)

John Milton

Sabrina fair
Listen where thou art sitting
Under the glassie, cool, translucent wave,
In twisted braids of Lillies knitting
The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair,
Listen for dear honour's sake,
Goddess of the silver lake,
Listen and save.

Today

Woke up, did homework, put on some pants, left with Kami, filled air in tires, Kami "forced" me to go to Idaho Falls, ate at the first Italian or Chinese restaurant we could find, ended up at a chinese place, by fate decided what we ate, Kami ended up with chow mein/mandarin chicken, I ended with chow mein/fried rice (picked that three times randomly by spinning around the menu and then choosing with my eyes closed), recieved our fortunes which Kami said would be our destiny!, laughed at the outcome, next drove to icecream, talked to a girl who loved the truffle kind, wierd ha, drove to the temple, parked and ran across the street, played by the river, walked on the river! (Its true), Felt like a kid, laughed, scared, survived, drove home, pumped iron, ran, watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (amazing), made Valentines, did poetry night in candle light, took a shower, poofy hair, no makeup, glasses, barefeet, sitting on bed, talking randomly about life dreams with Kami. Ahhhhh! What a day. I woke up not knowing what I would be doing and I have loved it all.









(The top fortune was for Kami. Good luck! ha, the second one is mine... but considering how the top one was farse I don't really have anything concrete to believe mine is not farse as well. hahaha And besides what kind of fortunes are these anyways! Ha)

So I finally put up some of the links. They are all wonderful great people! Go and see goodness! More will come lata :)

Time

Never hear a single word I say
Just thinking about the last day that I spent with you….
That I spent with you

Had a smile just the other day
quickly it, it went away
it was not with you…
it was not with you

Getting sick of this old town
I only see what I’ve lost and found since I’ve been with you…
Since I’ve been with you

Wandered down to the bridge
Stop and take a look over the edge
And I still miss you…
And I still miss you

And I know the time has come
Its’ all over and done
Headin out along my way
And I’ll keep on looking for a better day
So I can take my time…

Sky ain’t blue, grass ain’t green
Beauty just don’t mean a thing when it’s not with you…
And it’s not with you

The leaves move, the wind blows
Forget things that I used to know
when I’m not with you…
and I am not with you

Nothing really seems to get in my way
Except for when I start to pray
and I pray for you…
I still pray for you

This road won’t take me to your house anymore
The windows locked, you’ve closed your doors
And I’m not with you…
No I am not with you

And I know the time has come
Its’ all over and done
Headin out along my way
And I’ll keep on Looking for a better day
So I can take my time…
Take my time….
From you

Ficus take two... (but with wings)

Introducing- Vincent Rothko Nygel Jamal Jr. Wilthur! Or for short- Petey, Pheonix, Doc, green thing, Joey, or psycho.... So Kami and I got crazy last night and after spending a day looking for decent sunday shoes and scanning over random poems at the book store we bought our new roommate! (The only thing we could really decide on) HA! Go to get shoes and a good book and end up with an exremely funny, intelligent, good looking friend!

Two things-

So I have two things to add for today- one being that yesterday I was able to take the psychological IQ test that my girls and all the juveniles on campus have to take at the JCC. It is apart of their O&A (observation and assessment) It took 2 1/2 hours! (granted it was an intern learning how to give the test)- What I got out of it was that I feel alot of pressure to get the answers out quick, because they time you on some parts, that I sometimes sacrifice thinking the questions out fully and instead blurt out the first answer I think is correct. I felt dumb realizing this seconds after it was already too late. So I had to laugh. I felt so stupid and yet here are these kids who have to take this. Who don't want to be there... it wasn't some fun thing to try out. So if I am feeling stupid about it and wanted to do it I can only imagine how they feel in the same situation. It was cool to see the different kinds of tests they do in the process as well as what areas I am better at as compared to others. I also noticed that on some where it is up to me to give an answer I second guess myself alot. I knew I did this but it felt very apparent as I took the IQ test.

Also- As I was at my intern my Sister in Law and Brother called to tell me what they were having! I had to wait until 9 to call them back and predicted. They are having a BOY!!!! Due on June 20th! I am so stoked! This is the first nephew and can't wait! I am sure he will be drop dead good looking considering the girls are! :) I remember when Steph had Faith up in Washington and getting to watch the tape of it. It was 2:30 in the morning and I had just barely had gotten home from Olympic practice to find the tape waiting for me. So I popped it in and watched as Faith was born. I balled. Then Taylor was born. I was able to be there when the event actually happened. Beautiful. I mean there are really no words to describe the feelings you have as a new baby is born. At least no words to fully describe it anyway. Angels where there for sure and a rush of love and magnitude for this kid! Maybe I am a sap for it. A baby story on TLC makes me cry! ha It is just amazing and wonderful. I am super super excited for my little nephew to be born! They are going to name him Wright Jr. after my Dad and his Dad! :) WAHOO!
