Something Fishy

Lately, something has come to my attention known as Fish-Flops.

They are extremely obnoxious and need to be recalled.

These shoes are a menace to normal people everywhere.

First, they stink. I happen to like taking a breath and not gagging because of the disgusting fish/footsmell combination.

Second, do you hate that sqeak that shoes make everytime you step? Well, this is worse. It squeaks as well as squashes and they leave a trail of goop and ooze. Everyone can tell when someone wearing Fish-Flops have walked by.

Third, I can understand how they are theraputic for feet and work on helping posture and back pain but they also carry diseases and quite frankly are very dirty.

Last but not least Fish-Flops are a crime to fashion. Where did this idea come from? Who could ever think these shoes are attractive.

It's time to keep our fish in our ponds and not on our feet. Really we owe it to society. It would be better to go barefoot.

Coffee

Well, now I have all my homework to do. Me and my roomies and 2 of our good friends are having a party to do our homework. They gave me coffee. I dont drink coffee. These are my impressions:
Maybe if I add French Vanilla creamer it will taste better....OOOOh i can add chocolate milk.. this is too cold.....(after warming it up) wow this is perfect.....ew the aftertaste feels like acid ripping the enamel off my teeth.

maybe ill get used to it someday...

Procrastination. It's an addiction.

At this moment in time I have three assignments for Bib. Herm and an outline for a 5 minute speech that I should most definatly be working on. I am not doing that. Obviously. Currently, I am listening to Reggeaton and thinkin about mexico and maybe eating another piece of chocolate. I am quite homesick and not feeling like homework is what I want to do. Alas, I wish to graduate and get a degree so I must participate in these torturous activities. Evensong is tonight at 9. Horray! Evensong has an uncanny ability to cheer me up. I've needed that this week. Anyways Brit will be here in exactly 14 minutes according to her calculations so I should probably go get something done. Well, now that you feel like you have just wasted time reading this pointless blogpost with no morals or plot, I have one last statement. Don't smoke. Blow bubbles.

Clear the Roads

The following is a conversation between my writing prof and one of my classmates:

P: Are you texting?
S: Jeez, some people can text all hour, but the one time I text I get caught!

It's not like I'm not listening. I can text and drive at the same time; why can't I text in class.

I can tell you what you have been saying, I've been taking notes.

P: I don't even know what I've been saying.

Then why are we coming to class....

Class Time

So I've been at college over a month now and what have I learned. Well, aside from the fact that Rhetoric was taught by Homer and Dante, I have learned several valuable life lessons. For example: mute your computer when you come to class, same goes for cell phones, the cafeteria food is not as good once you aren't a perspective student anymore, and sleep is somewhat optional. I also learned that people love facebook and it's fun to comment on what the prof is saying in your status. Or you could just blog it :)

Maybe if I sold my watch...

College is just around the corner. It seems like yesterday I was telling my first grade teacher I wanted to be a nurse like Florence Nightingale. Well since then I've realized that's probably not the best profession for me. My plan is to pursue secondary education with an emphasis on literary arts, psychology, Spanish and photography. It's very lofty. I know. But since I have 4 years of college perhaps I can narrow down my goals as I go along. For the moment my goal is saving money. Since I was little my mom has always told me to save and budget. Of course I never listened to it until 2 weeks before I'm supposed to start payments for college. With help from my wonderful mother I have been able to fix things to be able to pay for it all. But alas I will be a typical college kid. Broke.

The little things

Since the name of my blog is about noticing the little things in life and the point of a blog is to have something about myself :) I decided to make a list of the little things in life I enjoy no matter what and always have a way of cheering me up. So here it goes, one for every letter:

J. Jokes

K. Kool-aid or lemonade on a hot summer day

L. Lime squeezed on the main dish

M. Music..especially live

N. Not having to fake a smile for a picture

O. Oranges

Q. Quidditch

R. Red ..the color

S. Strawberry milkshakes

T. Tropical Beaches

U. Umbrellas

Z. Zany old people

Am I ready for summer?

Why yes, yes I am.

True Love

I cant think of any way to write this to you, but I want to share it. So I'm going to let you read this letter written to God.

Dear God,

I love you. I cant describe how I feel. Words are meaningless at the moment, but you know my heart. I've gone and told you that I hated you. I've run to embrace the devil and all his sins. And at the point in my life where I was completely broken and told myself that I had no reason to live anymore you reminded me that you love me. And no matter how far I run to get away from you, you are always there to save me. You love me no matter what. 10 minutes ago I felt like my life was falling apart. Now I am so happy I want to cry. I feel whole and clean and perfect. And I am just that all thanks to you. I love you.

"Congraduation!"

Yesterday, I graduated. I walked across a stage, shook someone's hand and got my fake diploma. It's official. What have I learned? If you want your cap either don't toss it or write your name in it. Or you could do what I do and just toss it about three feet ahead of you. I didn't cry and no one came to sob on my shoulder. I feel very successful about this whole thing. But there is no time to rest. Today, I pack. Tomorrow, I fly!!

Pasta

Every once in awhile I make this pasta. I have never measured out the ingredients so it's just made with love. It is very easy to make and has few ingredients. To make it you boil the noodles. Once they are drained add butter. After the butter is melted stir in garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Meat of any kind is optional (in this picture I used bacon) but just make sure you cook it first. Once it is dished out sprinkle Mozzarella cheese on top and enjoy.

Don't Blame the Roses

Recently life has been moving so fast for me I haven't taken time to look around me and appreciate the little things. In most cases big noses are not appreciated, but amongst the roses they are quite liked. So if you haven't noticed them recently, don't blame the roses. Blame your nose for being closed.
