Do girls still read Sarah Plain and Tall?
Or Little House on the Prairie Books?
Do children still read books about families living on the frontier?
Do children still read?
(jk. kind of...)
Because these books are soo good!
Today I took a half day from school.
(im having head problems. not psychological. just physical. like massive migraines, weird pressure, and constant throbbing.)
 I went to work and then missed two classes, went to the city library, checked out the movie Sarah Plain and Tall and throughly enjoyed myself. and then back to class.
BUT it made me want to read these types of books all over again.
I forgot how great they are.
Summer reading maybe?
also, i got the movie Anaconda and i am so excited to watch it, although i can guarantee its going to give me nightmares.

a class mate said she saw G and I driving and jamming out.
she asked what we listen to in the car,
because it looked like we were having a really good time.
lately it has been this;







(try not to get funky to this one, dare you.)

im not trying to be a jerk or anything but i cant stop thinking about this.
this was posted on the facebook today.

"I got excepted into Columbia College's Masters in Arts Management program! I am so excited!"

excepted.

this person is graduating college and going to get their masters degree and doesn't display the knowledge of knowing the difference between excepted and accepted. 

maybe it was a misstake? auto correct? who knows.
and i am no english expert.
i dont even like using capitalization (but i do know how to use it, promise.) and i rely on on spell check way more than any person should.
BUT this is just one example of things that scare me.
i have this habit of thinking about my generation and how dumb/lazy we can be. (myself included)
we do what we can to get by, to get the "A" and do as little as we can and hope for the best.
i think about the future and these people who are "just trying to get by" or just get the "A" and how they will perform in their own careers in the future. 
careers that will play a part in my own life and family. 
i think about how some of these people will become teachers who we will send our children out to be with in a classroom every day for hours.
that is scary. 
(and just children in general. not my children specifically. we will be enrolled in our very own RV/home school.)
and i know, i know, i knooooow
there are lots of smart people in this world. and this is just one person who probably just made a little mistake. 
but sitting in my classes, i see and hear things like this every day.
and it scares me.

by im also scared of the dark 
and have night mares about being tangled up in vines.
so what ever.

rant over.

we are speaking in church tomorrow.
so tonight has been dedicated to us working on our talks.
but all i can think about is hot tubs.
and hot springs.
and how badly i want to be in one of these.

we just had a conversation that went like this:
B: you know what we need?
G: what?
B: a hot tub.
G: okay.
(...silence...)
G: and by okay, what i really mean is i ll fill the bathtub up for you and then i ll stick my head in and blow bubbles.

lame.

(G gave me a time limit to finish my talk by and i only have 9 minutes left. bye bye.)

i signed up for my last semester of  classes this morning at 6am...
but of course our internet wasn't working (which it always does, so i dont get why it didnt this morning.)
so i drove to campus and sat in the parking lot to use the internet.
i was so mad that i couldn't do this in the comfort of my bed that i almost left the house in my underwear. (luckily i caught myself.)
work and school all day.
meeting with a professor after class
on the phone with the IRS for one hour and ten minutes. (woof)
and then popcorn, a movie, and ice cream for dinner.

living life on the edge over here.

G sent this to me the other day.
